Nice place very clean & convenient for town centre . Large bathroom , only slight criticism was the small shower & the position of the shower holder . The size of the bathroom would have leant itself for a larger shower

Great place to stay in Whitby
This was a great place to stay for a three day trip to Whitby. Emma contacted me by text the day before we were due to arrive with check in and parking instructions which all went seamlessly. The room (room 6) was a very good size with a large bathroom and plenty of good quality towels. A very nice touch was the complimentary water and pint of milk in the fridge. There was also plenty of storage space. There is no breakfast on the premises but a ten minute walk into town provided plenty of options. Overall a lovely hotel and a great place to stay in this lovely seaside town. We would definitely stay again.

Easy to get to town close enough to walk although to and from town quite hilly but whitby is hilly and beautiful. The whalebone arch is located on a relatively quiet street, the room on the ground floor lovely, cant fault it. Received information from owners regarding time of arrival, on street parking permit was provided by the property even includes the day of departure so we were able to enjoy a third day at whitby before going home, Whitby is lovely and will be back.

Nice property. Quiet with a comfortable bed. It’s at West Cliff, about 20 minutes walk from the station. It’s technically near the beach but the cliff lift is out of action so it’s a walk to get there. The quietness is the problem as the area feels residential. To get into Whitby is a fair walk down. There is a cost cutters with cash point at the roundabout, a cash only Chinese on the cliff top road and a bar (which was rude when I went in). There are ice cream vans about but you have to walk into town to do much. The only issue with my room was that I couldn’t charge my phone by my bed. I would have preferred breakfast but they don’t do it here.
