We had a fabulous stay. Really well presented and spacious accommodation, modern fittings in an attractive older building.Great location for access to North Yorkshire coast and moors. Short walk to Whitby park and ride which made getting in and out of Whitby very convenient. Jenny was very friendly and helpful. Also appreciated ev charging on site, at reasonable cost. Great to be able to leave for home with a full charge!
