Not your typical hotel - don’t expect cable TV and a jacuzzi. This hotel is English eccentric and unique. A museum of curiosities, a superb location with Abbey and sea views - absolutely delightful.

A very quirky property in a quiet, walkable location. Amazing views of the beach and across to Whitby Abbey. Our room was basic and had no shower but was warm and comfortable. Lots of interesting antiques devote the property. We had a lovely afternoon tea looking at the view.

Individual, quirky and awesome hotel

The La Rosa is an awesome quirky, individual hotel. If you want corporate blandness avoid at all costs. If you want to be treated as an individual and like something different this is the place to be in Whitby. The staff are awesome and love a chat in the bar over one of their amazing cocktails. Special mention to Brodie who was great company in the bar. We stopped in the sacre coeur which is a lovely room with a great view of the Abbey. The room has a bath and lots of French inspired nick nacks on display. The heating was very hot in the room so don't worry if visiting in Winter. The whole hotel is an individual mix with a 20's kind of vibe, which is very relaxing - leave the corporate modern world behind for a bit and enjoy!

Amazing

A fabulous weekend at La Rosa. All the staff were unbelievably amazing. Brody in particular was an excellent host as we spent a few hours in the Cocktail Library. The Arabesque Room wasso cosy and the bed was so comfortable, we didn't want to get up! Breakfast in our room was a lovely touch. The hotel is eco-friendly minimising their use of plastics. The toiletries in the room were beautiful (hand made soap) The attention detail to everything the hotel does sets it apart from anywhere else we've stayed. We will definitely be celebrating our anniversary here again next year 💖
