We stayed in room 6 which is very charming but challenging for loads of luggage (it being on the top landing) but has an exceptional view of the area. The town is lousy for parking, but the process of unloading/ loading your car is just a matter of good timing or a little patience. It has an authentic coastal bar with plenty of character and a great atmosphere. Their breakfasts were always prepared fresh to order and quite delicious. We were 100% satisfied with the whole experience overall, and I hope they continue to thrive there.. but we will be packing lighter bags next time.

This is a room in a pub. But our room was to a high standard and almost large enough to be a suite. Absolutely in the centre of Whitby. Breakfast was good and hearty too. Could do with more power sockets in the room, though.

Central location was marvelous. Bed not very comfortable. Breakfast not good... bacon overdone and hard, sausages overcooked. The vegetarian sausages were very hard and uneatable. That said, the prime location made up for it..... Oh, one last thing.... a single vodka... £4.60

The location was excellent! I love the room and the staff was fabulous except for the bartender and person in charge on evenings! He was rude and unaccommodating. He’s a type of person that ruins a perfect evaluation! Everything there was perfect except for him, and I recommend that the establishment replace him. I saw him being rude to others as well.
