Blacksmiths Arms Inn Cloughton, North Yorkshire, YO13 0AE

  • 11 bedrooms

Comfortable Bedrooms north of Scarborough

The Blacksmiths Arms Inn sits in the village of Cloughton, four miles north of Scarborough, and is the sort of traditional country pub that feels wonderfully at home in its surroundings. Forming part of the Duchy of Lancaster Estate, it has retained plenty of old-world character, from oak beams and antique furnishings to open log fires. There is even a working smithy next door, providing a fitting connection to the pub’s name. The setting is particularly good for exploring. The North York Moors National Park begins half a mile away, while the Yorkshire coast, Scarborough and the walking country around Cloughton are all within easy reach. 11 en-suite bedrooms offer somewhere comfortable to retreat to.

Bedrooms

After a day walking the North York Moors or exploring the Yorkshire coast, the 11 bedrooms at the Blacksmiths Arms Inn offer a comfortable place to slow down and settle in for the night. There is a useful choice of accommodation too, with six double rooms and three twins, alongside two characterful four-poster rooms for guests looking to make their stay a little more special. Ground-floor accommodation is also available.

Food & Drink

Food at the Blacksmiths Arms keeps things reassuringly traditional. The oak-beamed restaurant serves homemade comforting favourites for lunch and supper and Sunday lunch is popular too. The bar is every bit as important to the experience. Period furnishings and cosy log fires create the atmosphere of a proper inn. Breakfast is available for staying guests, including a cooked Full English option, providing a suitably hearty start before heading into the North York Moors or out towards the coast.
