I really liked this, used to live in Whitby so like coming home. The food is excellent apart from Trenchers which was down on last years although the service was good. My bedroom was superb - beautifully done using all options there for you. Many thanks for a lovely time. Jane Brown

Lovely large house with self contained rooms which had everything you would need for an overnight stay The actual house was warm when we arrived but our room was freezing. There was a radiator in the room but it was off and didn't come on when the valve was turned to warm We were actually sat with our coats on before we left to go out

Lovely guest house

Stay on top floor, lots of stairs to climb, my husband had to help a couple with their cases as they struggled with the steps and carring their suitcase, would recommend booking lower ground floors if limited mobility, otherwise a lovely guest house,keys in a box ready for you to pick up, communcation via text and emails. Just a niggle from me would like to have seen a selection of herbal teas as i dont drink tea of coffee, a good 5 mins walk to the town but we knew this on booking so didnt bother us.

Self check in details sent in good time and the process was painless. Room a little compact for a deluxe room and not sure which city i was seeing from the "city view" but all i could see was the house next door.

The stay was comfortable the only thing was that we were there with our dog but were put in a top floor room. I did try to change rooms but they were the only dog friendly room available which made things slightly difficult taking dog out on bathroom breaks.

Met Expectations

Room was ok, met expectations for the value. Priority for us was parking on-site. Bathroom modern and clean, room was very spacious. Would have been nice to have a King-size bed rather than double. Stairs / Landing could do with some modernisation.

The room was great for our needs, very spacious with comfortable beds and a large bathroom. I was holidaying with my teenage granddaughter and the twin beds gave us plenty of room. It was about a 10 minute walk to the harbour (anout 30 minutes to walk back, it's a very steep hill! Dont believe google maps that says mostly flat!) There is a bus stop outside the hotel but we didn't use it. However, on our last evenung we had a taxi and it was £4.50.

Our reservation was for a room with a city view. We were put in a basement suit. Nor was housekeeping on a daily basis. Another guest we chatted with mentioned that certain other representations were not accurate. So, buyer beware.

Check in was effortless with a keysafe and communication with the code was easy. Room and en-suite shower room very clean. The shower itself was a small cubicle and my partner, broad shouldered man, had a bit of a tight fit using it. Curtains didn't stop any light so from daybreak at 5am the room was too bright. Double room for two nights with coffee tea and kettle were very important for us, however the coffee consisted of 6 small sachets of Nescafe which we used the first day and nothing was topped up - I bought a jar of coffee. This was marketed as a Deluxe room, but really it was only standard.
