“This Whitby hotel stands out with its themed rooms and curated feel-less a hotel, more an experience steeped in local character. Its embrace of pets and thoughtful touches, like breakfast delivered to your door, add to the charm. In my opinion, it's a refreshing alternative to more conventional stays.”

Eccentric and good stay!

pet-friendly roomclean roomcomfortable bedcontinental breakfast
Our Saloon Room, a pet-friendly option, accommodated our two dogs comfortably. The room was VERY clean and included a comfortable bed. Breakfast was a delicious continental spread I enjoyed in my room, offering plenty of food.
I found climbing the stairs challenging due to the absence of a lift.

This lovely hotel features unique decor. The staff are friendly and very helpful too. I found free orange juice each morning, a simple though thoughtful touch. I enjoyed easy parking with the supplied permit.
I didn't like the stairs very much. The hotel lacks a lift. Climbing with luggage wasn't ideal.
