  • Beverley

    Very clean and well equipped. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a comfortable break in Whitby.

  • Fiona

    It is in a perfect place to access everything in central Whitby without having to get in the car. There is a car parking space at the property which is a bonus in the middle of town. The accommodation was very clean and the welcome pack and flowers a nice touch. We will definitely stay here again

  • Val

    From the friendly housekeepers to start our visit, to the quality of the property and the added railway feature outside, we had a fantastic stay. Some nice touches with the Christmas tree and welcome pack. Much appreciated. Parking and easy access to town a big plus for Whitby. Looking forward to staying again.
