Arncliffe Arms in Scarborough

We had the unfortunate "luck" of spending a night at this place. Got a "suite" under the creaky flooring of the pub with noise-channelling ventilation ducts overhead, a substandard kitchen with no cupboards and wobbly table, a toilet with no ventilation, exposed pipes and disjointed faucet and a door with no handle in sight... All this came with a delayed check-in and service that leaves much to hope for. While the rooms above the pub may make for a better night's sleep, there is little hope that could improve this establishment's culture of hospitality.

Lovely food and Sunday lunch excellent. Staff old not be more helpful and friendly. Excellent range of beers including two local brews.

First of all if you are looking for luxury this is not the place. However the facilities are adequate and the staff are exceptional, Tony and Yvonne made us very welcome during our three nights stay and Becky makes the pub one of the friendliest pubs we have stayed in. The breakfasts and evening meals were good, you order your breakfast the night before. Would recommend this place for a quiet out of the way friendly stay.

Excellent weekend due to the inn. Ali staff very friendly inn and rooms very clean. Meals and breakfast Excellent and good value Landlord Tony a credit would recommend it to everyone visiting the area will certainly return

Superb Sunday lunch with tender beef and proper yorkshire puddings. Can also recommend the lamb shank. Good beer at good prices. Book to make sure you don't miss out.

One of the best Sunday lunches ever, beautifully cooked lamb, Yorkshire puddings James Martin would be proud of & gorgeous veg, can’t recommend highly enough.

Fantastic pub very dog friendly opens 5pm till 11 weekdays 12 till 11pm weekends great food ,Glaisdale lovely village for a base for walking 👍👍

Well I did pay a very reasonable price here which included breakfast so I was not sure what I would find. Firstly beautiful location in the village and north York moors. Arrived Friday night my room was and looked like the bargain I paid bedding obviously clean but stained with nail varnish I think/hope, it was a bit cold too. Had a ok meal meal but staff and locals pretty friendly so thought happy and value for money. At Breakfast (which you order in advance via a tick sheet) I ordered full English however mine appeared with no sausage? I asked what happened and was told I had not ticked the right box but was told sorry and the waitress walked off , I thought surely they would just bung some in? They would have been veggie 2 mins in the microwave? Did not worry me too much until I left but she was so dismissive. Verdict- probably worth paying more elsewhere….

Booked for 2 nights but Expedia only booked for 2 not 3 people so paid difference on site. No lunches only chips and sandwiches. Room was poorly laid out bathroom needed overhauling toilet unsafe seat and bowl loose gammon very salty mashed potatoes salty waiting time loong breakfast beans cold bacon just about cooked toast like cardboard staff friendly but scarce left a day early won't return wasted 230.00 pounds

I staed here two nights whilst walking through the area. The staff were very friendly and accomodating, with all the Covid precautions. My room was basic but with all the necessaries. A good nights sleep on both nights. There was a decent choice of evening meals and they were served well. Not gourmet style but good value.

We were staying in the village and you have to try the local , so glad we did. Very welcoming and friendly and with the dog too. We all had different meals and they were freshly cooked and delicious , the best chips I’ve had in absolutely ages.

Limited menu, but probably something for everyone. Stayed here & managed 3 different evening meals, each to my taste. Not "fast food" ... but freshly cooked to order. Very friendly waiting staff & cosy restaurant off the bar area.

Been out for a ride on motorcycles with friends and my son. Booked this hotel after a quick call to see if they could accommodate 6 motorcycles. Arrived at the hotel stunning views and a very warm greeting. Its a 3 star hotel and that pretty much as its an old building and it doesn't try to be the ritz but was spotless clean and cosy. Good shower, clean towels shampoo body wash tea coffee etc. But what wasn't short of 5 stars was the staff they couldn't do enough for you. The young man behind the bar was very friendly and chatty and the young lady that looked after the rooms and serving us really couldn't be more helpful. The food I am going to say was some of the best home made pub food I have ever had the chips are something to die for. And the breakfast is a proper breakfast not a mouth full but you left ready for the day. If you want a very friendly and fair priced hotel near whitby with some brilliant food and better staff I would recommend 100 percent thank for taking care of us we will see you again I'm sure 🙏❤️

Stopping in a cottage close by the pub was very welcoming the staff are very friendly we called in 3 times for drinks and food each time it was very good with good potions. Thanks for making our break as good as it was

As staying in the local area used this pub a couple of times. This pub is on the coast to coast walk, it serves a simple menu and has a good bar , however I would not recommend it for a special occasion due to decor. The breakfast was excellent and good quality and good value, this and the great staff service takes this pub from average to good.

Called in this pub on Saturday for an evening meal. Varied menu available and resonably priced. Food served quickly, by pleasant staff - very tasty food, hot and well presented. This place is also dog friendly

Efter en lång dags färd med vår hyrbil kom vi tillbaks till puben där vi efter vila och ett glas öl/vin gick in i matsalen. Vi hade nog inga större förväntningar om vår måltid, vi var mest hungriga.Men, döm om vår förvåning,vi fick tre rätter som var gudomliga. Vinet var mycket gott och framförallt prisvärt. Vi avslutade måltiden med ett gott glas whisky.

Walked here for Sunday lunch.Staff very friendly and the best Sunday lunch/roast we ever had in Yorkshire. Many thanks!

Staying in the area, so visited for Sunday lunch. Easy parking, friendly welcome. Chose large beef meal, arrived in good time and was massive! Meat lovely and tender, loads of vegetables and of course two Yorkshire puddings. No room for desert!

Great pub, great service, good choice of meals and really really tasty freshly cooked food. Good beer too!!

What a fantastic place .very quite and tranquil .lovely host to meet and greet .got into the room early .was nice .views was amazing and the walks was very enjoyable .we had a two night stay at this village pub .it was very comfy and very warm..the food was amazing best we have had in a long time .while bin away. Will definitely be going back again very soon

Staying in glaisdale for a few days. Very pleased to have this pub in such a tiny village.Staff are friendly and very efficient.Excellent menu choice.Food was very tasty (parmo wasn't the best I've had but the chips were amazing). Pork and apply burger also very good. Relaxed atmosphere but not the cosiest feeling. Very dog friendly (unlike 2 of the pubs in egton!)Would recommend if you're staying locally / passing through

The pub is located outside the village and we found it difficult to locate- our fault for assuming it would be near the shop. Eleven walkers arrived to an empty pub and we were greeted warmly- others trickled in as we downed cold Peroni and pub food. The nut burger was ok although the bun was more like cotton wool than bread. It is not the intention to carp about the food because we should be glad that the place is open at all during a sleepy August afternoon. Friendly and efficient service makes the experience pleasant and it better than a standard packed lunch when you are walking the coast to coast and in need of sustenance.

Good busy pub with very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Real ales and a good menu is all you need after a long walk! The beef stroganoff was particularly good, as was the chocolate mousse. I have had nicer apple and fruit crumbles, but I was pretty full by then as the portions are very good.

Nowt poncy about this place, just traditional pub grub done very well. Chicken parmo was super and the chips are to die for.

Enjoyed a meal here while staying upstairs. We had walked an entire day in the rain prior to arriving here. Food was typical pub grub but it tasted great that day!

The pub is a little dated and could do with a facelift, it felt a little dowdy as we went in. However the food was delicious and a very good portion at a sensible price.

We were passing through and decided to stop and see if the pub was serving food on the off chance. So glad we did!

Twenty minutes down the hill from where I was staying while walking the 'Coast to Coast' was the villages only pub. Locals reported there used to be three. I ordered a very nice starter pf pate maison with toast and a side salad while enjoying a pint of real ale. The 'Poachers chicken' dish main meal too was an excellent choice but 'hunters chicken' by another name.

The menu is quite simple. I had the locally caught fish and it was lovely. I had to eat near the bar but there is a dining room so best to check.

A small country pub with a limited selection of beers, we ate here twice and had just drinks a couple of times during our stay in Glaisdale as it's the only pub in the village.

We ate here three times during a week-long stay in Glaisdale. All four of us (including two teenage boys) really enjoyed our meals - and the friendly service. Fish and chips, beef curry and lasagne all highly recommended. Booking advised as this is obviously a popular destination for coast-to-coast walkers.

The food was ok, but despite booking we waited over an hour for our food, after ordering it. Average menu and average prices.

I ate here when I stayed upstairs during the coast to coast walk. The beer was good and the food was also very tasty and reasonably priced.

Aparecimos para café mientras caminando por la costa a costa, pero decidí tomar algo. Las porciones eran generosas, y las patatas fritas son más sabrosos que he probado en mucho tiempo; posiblemente el mejor de todos! El chico que nos servía era atento y servicial. Sin duda recomendaría comer aquí.

Situado en la parte inferior de la muy empinada colina 1:3 es este acogedor pub. Está ocupado en el verano debido a varios costa a posavasos utilizando las instalaciones. Yo comimos allí dos veces. La comida era razonable y bien de precio. Tuve dos comidas. Uno era el sobresaliente y el otro el filete. Disfruté tanto de comidas y no tengo ninguna queja.

Es un pub con habitaciones en la costa de la ruta de la costa. Las habitaciones están cansados y no especialmente decoradas en forma atractiva. No es uno de los mejores sitios en los que nos alojamos en el paseo, pero está bien, y la comida que ofrecen en el sitio no estaba mal.

Cenamos aquí cuando una noche en nuestra C 2 c - no estoy seguro de que existen alternativas locales. El lugar era bastante tranquilo para el Lunes festivo, pero es todavía temprano en la corta temporada. Que no era nuestra preocupación, y la comida era fresca y muy saludable (tuve sopa vegetariana y chili). Pocas opciones de cerveza, lo cual fue una pena, pero es comprensible dada la situación. El servicio era amable, lo cual nos gustó tranquilamente.

Food extortionate prices and small portions! Never got to taste a roast dinner they ran out at 6pm! Rip off...

Well what a night! just popped in for a bite to eat and WOW was I shocked. First of all the staff where amazing the cheerful bar man and the helpful waitress were the best i have seen in a long time. The food was a sight to behold from the mountain of chips to the perfectly cooked steak all of it was flawless.I would hands down come again and will make a trip to bring the rest of the family. Thank you

We stayed in Glaisdale and ate dinner in the pub on two occasions and the food was very good, Beef Stroganoff, Veggie Chilli and various chicken dishes were all well cooked and tasty.The real ale on offer was not however up to standard and a real disappointment. The service from the staff was very good and really friendly. The bar itself is a little dated but if you are in the area for dinner then it is worth a try.

We were staying locally and decided to call in the village pub for a few drinks early in new years eve which we quickly regretted. The pub is not very welcoming at all, the seating tired and uncomfortable with random dart boards scattered cross the floor... It was still Christmas time yet the Christmas tree stood bare and isolated in at the back of the room undressed adding to the depressing atmosphere. It became even more depressing when we assume he was the landlord walked over, yanked the tree from its position and dragged it out the room! We were just waiting for somebody to say 'leave now Christmas is over, we don't want any customers'. It was a real shock to enter such a miserable atmosphere on a new years Eve but not only that for a local pub in a quaint village to be so dismal. My advice would be for the owners to take a trip to nearby Egton and experience the fantastic hospitality at The Wheatsheaf Inn where the staff are happy and the evironment warm and friendly.

A tiny room, but big enough for 1 person. Single bed was very comfortable. Had tea and coffee making facilities and biscuits. Had a great view across the fields. Toiletries, but no shampoo/conditioner. Wifi was good. Excellent staff, very helpful. Dinner was lovely and plentiful as was breakfast. A great little sitting area out the front on a warm night.

We stopped for a meal here and having just dropped in without booking we were found a table and given a warm welcome. There is a good choice of food which is reasonably priced and pretty tasty too... good pub food.

We were one of two couples in the restaurant and our meal was dominated by the other couple complaining about the standard of cooking saying that the chef did not know how to cook mussels.This put a dampener on our meal which was ok but not special.This is really a walkers pub , it is on the coast to coast route so portions are "healthy"

Ate here on our coast to coast trip. Lasagne was good and home cooked, vegetable chilli ok, small portion.

We had excellent meals in this nice pub. It takes s little finding but it's in a nice quiet location.

THE best steak and ale pie (said my hubby and he ate a lot of it on the C2C) anywhere - substantial in size, loads of chunky, tender steak and delicious gravy. Plenty of veg and tatties to fill him up too. It feels like a local pub inside which is quite nice, very laid back but we were served quickly and everything was piping hot. Nice place.

Went as a family group of 9, amazing food, great service and very prompt. I had the parmesan chicken which was nice and had sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Also try the Viking beer on the hand pump, nice!!!

Pub itself a little 'tired' but the food is great, had small Sunday lunch which was huge portions, it would take a brave person to attempt the large !!!

Very poor quality, flavourless scalping with dirt vein still in. Cheap burgers. Never got askked if we wanted ice/lemon in our Bacardi and Cokes.

Big portions, great meat and tasty veg. We all had the Sunday lunch, the small portion is enough for a good appetite. If you have a large portion bring your eating pants.

Came here today with my gran, partner, brother, his partner and our 2 year old daughter. We had Sunday dinner (choices consisted of beef, turkey and lamb). The meat was cooked to a turn, plenty of veg and two big, homemade yorkshires, the one thing that let the actual meal down was the gravy, it was watery and bland which is such a shame as the rest of the meal was perfect!! The waitress who served our table was lovely and very polite too.

Stayed for a couple of nights whilst visiting the North Yorks Moors Railway. Much enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Have stayed at Hart Cottage (just a few doors away) for the last couple of years and always drop into this pub every night after a hard day's hiking. The landlord, Neil, keeps a really good cellar - the Black Sheep is a particular favourite, and the pub meals are good, well-priced, and very generous in portion size!The pub is very dog friendly - we take Claude the Weimaraner in every night - which is a real plus for us.All in all - a very welcome addition to our stay every year!

Where do I start? The only pub in the village, 3 minutes walk from our cottage. Black Sheep beer famous in the area. Advertised on the outside of the pub. Guess what? Twice now in two days - no Black Sheep!! Busy weekend apparently! So???! Order some more. The landlord seems a nice enough guy, but come on this is a village pub in Yorkshire not on the moon!!

Good pub food with friendly staff. Only pub left open in the village of Glaisdale. Sorry that the Anglers and Mitre Tavern pubs had to close. Greetings to all who remember us, Mike and Helen at the Mitre!

My wife and I recently booked a cottage in Yorkshire and it happened to be yards away from the Arncliffe Arms, we visited the pub everyday during our week long stay and had a very warm welcome from the proprietor (Neil) who advised us on local walks, other pubs and things to do, we also had some fantastic food and top quality real ale. Having dined in restaurants all over the UK & Europe, the stroganoff was the tastiest i've ever had, as was the scampi and steak pie. The guest ale "Striding the riding" from the Helmsford brewery was out of this world, so as pale ale connoisseurs drinking almost 3 gallons of it in a week, I think that says it all !!

This was a two night stay for my husband and I, and it was lovely. Good home cooked food and nice rooms, plus we could take our dog along with us, which was a bonus.The staff were friendly and we loved the area, very pretty.

Pleasant pub in a good location - not a very exciting menu, but good quality food in pleasant surroundings

Very friendly and helpful. Had a great steak and would recommend. The Black Sheep beer was just what my husband needed. Good portion size

Overall disappointing. Came here for a pre-theatre meal ( Esk Valley Theatre.. again excellent this year) and left feeling that the food was very average. Limited choice and served up with little finesse or imagination and of variable quality. A starter of plaice goujons was good, if scant as in three small pieces, but the pate which was supposed to be served with toasted ciabatta arrived without butter and with barely warm limp ciabatta. Accompanying both starters was a salad garnish with a few mixed leaves, chopped red and green peppers and no dressing. Mains were minute steaks, both fairly tasty but sinewy and rather tough and with the same saladgarnish....not a piece of tomato , cucumber or onion in sight, or any dressing again!I understand that you only get what you pay for, and at £12.95 per head this could hardly be termed expensive, but with some minimal additional culinary professionalism the meal could have been made acceptable.Plus points: a pleasant friendly waitress, decent wine and good beer.Minus points: small, cold dining area with hard wooden chairs the lack of a friendly welcome on arrival

Great customer service and good food can be found in this pub. I'm sure that during the summer months they have many c2c walkers coming in trying to get a meal and we were not disappointed. A good and varied menu, good ale and a lovely waitress who could not have done more to make us feel valued and welcome.

we called at Arncliffe on a Friady night, we had been driving round looking for somewhere to eat, and being unable to find a table anywhere. We were not dissapointd.It was a veritable oasis, as we were hungry ,tired and fed up.The pub can best be descrbed as homly, not at all dirty, but rather lived in. We sat in a dining area of the pub, which whilst not exeptional, was very much ok , I have eaten in far worse places. We chose the mushroom stroganoff ,which we love, and to be fair there was not a huge veggie choice. That came with rice, and being hungry we ordered a portion of chips as a side. WOW what chips, they were proper chips. The whole meal was first rate. We were unable to eat a sweet, but I really wish I could have tried there bread and butter pudding , I am sure that would have been lovely.Service was good, price very reasonable.

..ideal if you're visiting the "Museum of Victorian Science". It is only a short walk away and is excellent value for money.

Stayed here on our last night of Coast -to Coasting. The worst B & B of our walk. Room was extremely small, just space for a poor quality bunk bed, which had once been part of a pair, tatty bedside table. No wardrobe to hang clothes, just a couple of hooks on the wall. The bed linen was very suspect to the extent that I did not sleep in the bed, but preferred to sleep on top of the bed covered in my anorak. Shower room not very clean, mirror still had not been cleaned from use by previous occupants.Had the air of a DHSS B & B accommodation. Food O.K. For the standard felt that it was very over-priced.

We were Bunkbarning in Glaisdale and decided to find a pub for dinner.The dinners were huge and absolutely delicious. The bar staff were very friendly and all prices were very reasonable.

Well cooked, freshly prepared food. I had the steak and ale pie which was chock full of tender steak and thick gravy. Perfect for a chilly evening! Puds are good too. Friendly service, plenty of room, prices are fair.

While it was misty and a bit chilly outside, the atmosphere inside was just the opposite. The bartender was friendly, two of the locals (& their dogs) were very interesting to chat with, and they handled the "crowd" well when a few fellow Coast to Coasters came in later.

Turned up for lunch on Coast to Coast. Limited menu and hardly any choice. Ordered a ham ciabatta which cost £6 and wasn't even grilled. Just 2 lumps of ham in a piece of bread. Cafe glas was shut and looked like closed down. Advice to C 2 C is to use the sandwich shop as you first hit the town.

This pub provided us with a lovely meal and friendly service. On the same evening they were hosting a very large party but it didn't impact on the service we received so well done to all staff!

We recently had a first visit to Glaisdale and called at the Arncliffe Arms after a walk. It was clean, and the staff were friendly. We sat on benches across the road where you can admire the scenery. We had a meal later that evening which was very nice, they have a menu and a specials board. We only had battered mushrooms and spring rolls for a starter and fish and chips as a main, (hand made chips), very nice. The service was friendly even though she was rushing around all the time we were there, she kept checking that everything was okay.

We ate at the Arncliffe Arms when we were doing the Coast to Coast walk. It was a Thursday but there were only six other people in the pub, all diners, all walkers. The pub as a reasonable ambience. The staff are efficient but what makes this establishment is the chef. She really knows her stuff. I was sufficiently impressed with dinner to take the trouble to discover that the chef is a certain Anthea, that she is local, and she is a vegetarian. Not for the first time during our walk we were surprised at the quality of food being served up in a North Yorkshire pub. My wife ordered Beef Stroganoff and I ordered Pork in Peppercorn sauce. Both dishes were beautifully cooked and presented and far, far better than what you would expect to find in a pub. I doubt that you would get better in a reasonably expensive restaurant. The more I eat in Cumbria and North Yorkshire the more I realise that we are getting a raw deal in pubs and restaurants in South East England. This was definitely one of the best pub meals we have every eaten. If driving, it is well worth making a detour to go there.

We ate here on the first night of our weekend stay in Glaisdale.We wanted a basic Tasty dinner, and thats what we got.The scampi was good, as were the chips. Hubby had gammon which was good, but he said lacked a bit of `greenery` (salad or veg would have completed the dish)The breakfast was tasty & freshly cooked.As stated in my review of the room at the Arncliffe, if youre after a 5 star hotel standard, then dont book.Its a comfortable, warm country pub. We were very satisfied and would visit again.Would be an ideal bikers stop....situated in the best countryside.

... on the way to the museum of victorian science. Lovely pub, good beer and the food we saw going out to table looked very nice indeed.

We stayed here on the final day of our Coast to Coast and compared to where we had stayed before this was a huge disappointment. The room was poky and small, the shower door broken and the staff watched as we struggled to carry our bags upstairs having run over 30 miles that day and didn't even offer to help. The evening meal was ok but very greasy and I would have preferred not to have had to share my dinner with a dog who kept wandering around and putting it's head on other people's tables. If you want a good night sleep then don't go on a saturday night as we did. Karaoke was on and we were told it would only be on until 11pm but it went on until after midnight. We also wanted an early start on Sunday morning to finish our coast to coast and we were told by the barmaid that we could have breakfast at 7.15am. We came down at 7.15am and there was no one up and we had to leave without breakfast. We walked past other people who had stayed over who also had to leave without breakfast. It would have been nice if they had at least told us that they wouldn't be serving breakfast at that time and we would have tried to make other plans. I wouldn't recommend. Very, very disappointed.

We ate here on our coast to coast walk and stayed the night. As a b and b it was perfectly fine but the food was excellent. I had pork in peppercorn cream sauce - wonderful, served with a huge selection of well cooked fresh vegetables by a friendly young waiter. Do try it.

Party of 5 was expecting a good evening meal after long days walk. Interior looked a bit tired but menu seemed ok. Were looking forward to a good steak and going by the price of this and the other meals had every expectation. The others had some chicken smothered in cheese and rather greasy chips. No steak knife was provided but doubt a surgeons scalpel would have cut the steak. On complaint the plate was taken away to do what with the steak was not made clear. It returned just as the others finished their meal with the statement 'that the worst bit had been cut off'. It had but the rest was still inedible. No apology and we left having paid for the other meals and drinks. Very disappointing experience and far removed from their slogan. We really hope that other clients have a much better meal as this is one of the few places on the C to C route in Glaisdale where you can eat.

Made to feel very welcome on arrival, not lots of choice for lunch time menu but what we had was very nice. Staff very pleasant. Would call again...

I stopped for a drink and lunch at the Arncliffe during June 2013 and was disappointed to find that my first 2 choices of beer were not available and the food was and I am sorry to say - awful. I had a sandwich with a side of chips. The chips were the worst ever - dripping in fat and soggy. I also noticed that there were groups of American tourists who seemed to be there due to prior arrangement with the travel company and landlord. Fortunately, for the Arncliffe, the tourists seemed to think the food was acceptable and were very gracious. All i can say is that that yanks think dirty dank interior, bad food, satellite TV and empty beer casks is typically british and "twee"I dont know the situation with regards to the management however I do know potentially they are sitting on a little goldmine and the manager/landlord needs to up his anti - be more socialable, get to grips with stock and sort out the food. What he needs to remember is that tourists do re-visit areas so there is futuristic business however I and I am sure others wll drive past the Arncliffe when next on the Moors. Very, very disappointed.

This is not the norm ... but here I go.My friend and his missus (plus son) intend to stay at the Arncliffe on their visit from the USA in June.I was shocked to read the most recent review , and have just noticed (before typing) that that the person who wrote the most recent review, had given such low marks to the Arncliffe.In accessing Trip Advisor, to start this write up, I noticed that this same person had also given bad reviews to other establishments in the locality.No matter - and by a stroke of luck - this being Sunday 12th May 2013 - I attended the quiz at my local pub as usual.It came to pass in conversation (in between questions) that my friend Fred with his sister , had visited the Arncliffe today for Sunday Lunch at approx. 2.00 pm.Fred ( and sister) like all of us in this part of the world , love their food and I was anxious to see if standards had dropped as dramatically as the previous subscriber had described. Fred had had Roast Beef and his sister had Lamb.He told me ,it was beautifully served, plenty of vegetables , but Fred, the rascal that he is, says he could have done with a few more roast potatoes , and parsnips and maybe a bit more veg, I should point out that Fred "could eat for England" and said that in the overall scheme of things ,that , his sister was delighted with her meal and Fred was more than pleased despite ( because he was driving) being unable to sample the delights of the cask ales ( Black Sheep and Bombardier). Readers I hope will believe that I have absolutely no connection to the Arncliffe , I'm just so pleased that the bad review will not stop me and my wife enjoying our Sunday Lunch there , and just as importantly , will not spoil our US cousins stay in this part of the world.I'm going to tick the boxes on Fred's behalf so that I complete the review - trust that I do it properly.

The pub was dark and dirty and the manager not very helpful but the thing that will put me and my wife ever gone back was the food that I would not even feed to my dog. Had fresh fish n chips or so the menu said when the fish came out the batter was very dark and teased of old oil and the chip teased the same. What was once a nice pub has been turned into what it is now. One can only blame the new manager and clear lack of ideas

Eaten here several times over the last few years. New manager Paul is trying hard to get it right and has made many improvements. I had a special - pork belly, black pudding mash and apple fritter which was excellent. Pork succulent and a good proportion of black pudding in the mash. Veg were cooked nicely too, just perfect. I could have eaten another fritter though. The other half had a huge fish with chips which he really enjoyed. And good value too.

Our friends had eaten here and gave a glowing report so we decided to try it for ourselves. Glad we did, the food was fantastic(spicy beef enchiladas highly recommended) and a very cosy and friendly atmosphere made for a great night. Looking forward to our next visit.

Stayed here in September. Weather was awful but the pub made up for it. Basic but comfortable at reasonable price. Food was good, home cooked and freshly made , which understandably took a while to arrive but was well worth the wait. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Would not hesitate to recommend it at all. Will be back again.

Had a really enjoyable meal in the Arncliffe Arms. Freshly cooked and ample portions. Very warm welcome from the staff. Recommend to all.

enjoyed a lovely lunch here with 2 dogs, we was made very welcome and the food was really lovely homemade burgers were of excelent quality and we also enjoyed lovely homemade puddings, everybody at the arncliffe arms was very nice and welcoming which is so nice when you have 2 dogs with you. also very very nice coffee so we had 2 cups!. we would definatly enjoy a meal here again when in the area.

Despite, the imminent arrival of the local Cricket Club for their Annual end of season dinner, we were made most welcome by all staff.

This review is for both the dining and the accommodation at the Arncliffe Arms. I stayed one night here before the final walking day for my Coast-to-Coast trip.The food was quite good, portions were generous, and staff was very helpful. Many of the patrons seemed to be locals from Glaisdale, as this seems to be the only remaining pub in town.As for the room itself, it was small but cozy, and the en-suite bathroom was quite clean. However, I did have a fair bit of trouble getting the water temperature in the shower adjusted -- despite my best efforts, it would either be too hot or too cold.After a very hearty breakfast in the morning, I certainly felt refreshed and ready for the final stretch before the finish line.

We stayed in Glaisdale for a week in September and initially went to the Arncliffe as it was the nearest place serving food. We were greeted by the new manager who had only been there for a few days himself. He chatted and told us some of the ideas he had for the place which seemed really good. The food was really good and the atmosphere very welcoming. There must be a very good chef there as everything we ordered was excellent. I really hope people give this place a visit when in the area as we will definitely do if we are anywhere near in the future.

We were visiting friends who were staying in the accommodation at the Arncliffe on their last night of the Coast to Coast walk.The owners and staff were very friendly and really went out of their way to look after everyone. The restaurant part of the pub was very busy with a steady stream of diners,many of them locals which always bodes well, the food was great and loads of it.At the end of the evening we said our goodbyes to our friends and asked the landlady for the number of a local taxi as we were staying 2 miles up the road.Without hesitation she bundled us into her Porsche, and made two trips to drop us off at our digs,it isn`t often that you encounter such hospitality and kindness these days and I am now considering moving to the Glaisdale side of the Pennines! If you visit that part of the east coast make sure you pop in or stay there,my mates said the accommodation was great too!Thanks again to the owners and staff at the Arncliffe Arms.

the food here is amazing and very reasonably priced! we went last night wanting to try somewhere we'd never been to for a change and couldn't get over how good the food was and how big the portions are for the price. big thumbs up

Situated in almost the heart of the North Yorkshire Moors. Easily accessible from Whitby by motor car, bicycle (your own or hire one), on foot if you feel like stretching your legs or by train there and back. It is a typical British pub, not a glamour palace with loud music thumping all the time. Fabulous, fabulous food. Service, second to none. Plenty of room to walk about, sit and drink or eat. Outside too. Warm beer to remind you that this is England. Oh and did I mention those fabulous ladies behind the bar...

We stayed in the village of Glaisdale whilst on our holidays and after a long drive to get to Whitby we decided to go to the local village pub for dinner. We had already stopped there earlier for a drink and found the young barmaid serving very bouncy and friendly .We ordered a steak pie each with veg and homecut chips, the pie and veg were beautifully cooked and piping hot, just what you need after a long day, The chips were a bit on the dark side and a bit soggy but overall a very good meal and good service for a nice village local!!!

Our family stayed here on the Coast to Coast walk. The staff were friendly and very accommodating eg allowing our dog to be booked in at the last minute and allowing him to sit in the restaurant with us. I understand the current owners have just taken over the pub. They clearly need to make many more improvements. Our rooms were cramped and not particularly clean. Both of the showers cut out twice while we were using them so that we were left cold and wet while the fuses were sorted out. The radiator was leaking so the carpet was wet. However the beds were comfortable and the rooms were not noisy. The setting is very pretty. The food in the bar was reasonable although it arrived very late. Some people walking with us did not receive their food orders till after 10pm.

Had a great dinner at the Arncliffe Arms recently. After walking the C2C track and eating at pubs all along the way the Arncliffe Arms had the best menu. I can thoroughly recommend the stir-fry (the only one I saw along the track). Don't hesitate in giving this pub a go - great food!

Arrrived after poor weather, wet and cold, no heating on and when enquiring if heating could be put on informed they don't put heating on in the summer. However they suggested we use their drying room for drying our boots and clothes. The following morning on collecting our boots and clothes, the boots were no dryer, when i put this comment to them they became extremely upset and abusive.Their drying room is a tumble dryer and when on the room is dryer than a normal room.We spent 18 days walking coast to coast and this was the only B&B with no heating and the worst service

We have just got home from a 6 day break here .This is a family and friends run enterprise turning round what was a run down B&B pub into a fabulous place to stay. the food is supberb the welcome and friendlyness of the staff is above exemplary.I wont mention individuals because I would have to mention everyone.Dont take notice of negative reviews from nit pickers go and see for yourself.Its a work in progress and they are doing well .Its one of the best short breaks we have ever had in a stunning location will definitely be back to see how its going.Nothing was too much trouble and if you want to variate from the menue its not a problem.everyone had a smile.Good luck to Neil and all your team will see you again before not too long Hilary& James

A long but easy day’s walking on our Coast to Coast trip, until we got to Glaisdale !! Steep slope down into the village was a nasty surprise. However, the Arncliffe Arms is on the route and is one of the few places to eat in the area so once we were there we could settle in for the evening. Lots of fellow walkers came in during the evening so we had a great evening- the pub ran some of them back to their B & B’s to avoid the uphill struggle !!. Good food at dinner (Val’s pie was enormous !) and the room was comfortable. We wanted to leave at 7.30 the next morning so settled for cereal and toast rather than wait til 8 for the full breakfast. Staff were all friendly and helpful.During the rest of the walk we stayed at the Black Bull, Kirkby Stephen, the Keld Lodge, Keld, the King’s Arms, Reeth, The Buck Hotel, Richmond, The Blue Bell Inn, Ingleby, Wainstone’s Hotel, Great Broughton, and the Victoria Hotel, Robin Hood’s Bay

A great pub, great atmosphere and does the landlord Neil now what an absolute gem he has in Nadia who was incredible in servicing every single table to such a high standard. Food and drink were very good
