Fantastic nights stay. The room was huge, with a stunning view over the bay and Whitby Abbey.
Bar area was warm and friendly, and the restaurant was beautiful with a good menu and great food. Will definitely return.
We loved the location and character of the hotel and the staff were helpful and efficient. There wasnt anything we didn’t like and would definitely stay again
Central to everything, very clean and friendly, lovely breakfast ( event held there was fab too)
Bathroom on the small side, bed a little bit hard for me.
Friendly and helpful reception staff.
We stayed in a deluxe room which was very modern, clean and had a comfortable large bed and very good facilities.
The views from our room were fabulous and the bar and terrace were great. Some noise from the guests above during the night. Staff were friendly and our little dog enjoyed it too.
the room was very clean and well presented, staff are all lovely and friendly, we only used the bar once but it was well stocked and reasonable prices, and again lovely friendly staff.
