Visit to Whitby

Hotel is OK. About a mile out of Whitby but can drive or take bus (every 30 minutes). Room lacked any space to store clothes apart from 5 hangers so lived out of suitcase. Restaurant offers 20% discount to people who book direct, but we booked through hotels.com. Irritating so simply ate in Whitby. Sainsbury opposite was useful for drinks and breakfast stuff.

Welcoming hotel in Whitby

Parking is plentiful and free, check-in is simple and efficient. Room size is adequate and bed was comfortable and all clean. Bathroom sink in room 23 conflicts with toilet space. Breakfast is good value but please include machine dispensed coffee as at the Spread Eagle, as the percolated coffee is not good. All staff were pleasant and helpful..

Convenient stay!

Good location to Sneaton Castle (5mins by car/taxi) pub was next door for evening meal & breakfast, Sainsbury’s and shops less than 5min walk. Check-in was easy although we were pay on the day the venue took the money 24hrs before. Staff were friendly at checkin to hotel and restaurant staff too, the bar not so much that we complained. At the end of the night paying the bill we selecting no tip but the machine is broken so ended up tipping £16 for bad service, they wouldn’t refund so I need to contact head office! Annoying! So warning to others.. Room was spacious but dated, soap dispenser was broken and the one in shower hanging on by a screw. Room was clean with towels, double bed was comfortable but the single sofa bed, our little boy can sleep anywhere thankfully but I felt crippled from lying on it for 10mins.

I find the accommodation ideal for our needs. The rooms are in a separate building to the pub/restaurant so noise is minimal and facilities convenient. We've stayed here several times now and I'll keep coming back.

Hotel near Whitby

The room was nice and roomy and was clean. Was a bit of a wait to check-in as staff were busy. I felt that the toilets in the restaurant area were in need of a refurbishment, the radiators were rusty and the hand dryers were also rusty. Just looked tired in the ladies. Breakfast was good but the coffee was awful. I overheard someone complain it was like water and someone came and just added more instant coffee to the jug. Thankfully I had decaffeinated from a sachet. Little things like good coffee make a difference. I would stay again as it's in a great place with nice views. Plus has a good restaurant for meals during the day and evening.

I recently stayed at the Penny Hedge in Whitby, drawn by its convenient location. While the staff were polite and amenable, the housekeeping and accommodation could be improved. The room was clean and functional. Unfortunately, my experience was disrupted by the constant loud footsteps of the guests in the room above, which made it difficult to relax or sleep soundly. In addition, I had to request additional toilet tissue. This is a basic amenity that should be adequately stocked without guests having to ask. It may seem minor, but it reflects a lack of attention to detail.

Hotel was difficult to find, even with full address as signage is very hidden behind large hedges. Check-in was fine and the room was very clean and spacious. Only minor issue was very small tv so difficult to see for some people. Restaurant was something of a let down. Reserved a table for 7:30 on

Give it a miss

We chose this as we hoped proximity to a nice pub would be a relaxing stop on a road trip. We got a mediocre room with staff that didn't seem to care and the pub was very poorly run. We wouldn't try a Marston's again.

Good to have the restaurant and bar right there. Would have preferred a free standing shower rather than over the bath, but that is just personal choice. Road noise just about acceptable. All staff were friendly and efficient.
