Had a lovely 2 nights at the dolphin hotel with a lovely view of the water. The staff was amazing & locked our key in the room by accident and couldn't find spare key but they called a locksmith who got us back in. The hotel is lovely and food is amazing. Will definitely stay here again. Wish we had longer.

Great wee hotel, but parking can be tricky

It's a really nice small hotel, the staff were really friendly and helpful, the breakfast was good, the room was really pleasant and the location is great. The only downsides were a bed that was too soft (for me) and the difficulty in finding a parking space nearby.

The venue is ideally situated for your visit to Whitby. The hotel is family run, the staff are both friendly and helpful, and despite the rooms being above a busy bar you did not get disturbed. Therefore, I would thoroughly recommend staying there and will definitely re-book when visiting Whitby again.

Worth a look. Be prepared to walk with luggage from public car parks. Room accessibility may be an issue for some because there is no lift.
