Opt for a room with a bathtub if you enjoy long relaxing soaks, but be prepared for slow filling water.

The cleanliness needs serious attention!!! Dirty windows, stained carpets, and chipped doors left us disappointed. A deep clean and fresh paint could work wonders. Didn't expect a view of a poorly maintained shower either!!!

The charming ambiance of the inn and the fantastic breakfasts made for a pleasant stay. We faced some discomfort with the attic room being cold and a bit cramped, but the friendly staff and clean facilities certainly made up for it. Dining options seemed pricey for simpler dishes.

The room featured vintage decor with a unique design that gave it character. The private en suite lounge offered additional comfort and space to unwind.
The overall experience lacked a warm atmosphere. the bar was quite empty during our visit, making it feel less inviting. Dinner service was prolonged, and the food served was lukewarm and not quite satisfactory. My partner’s venison was tough, and kitchen staff wore casual attire, which felt unprofessional. The noise from the street made sleeping difficult, especially facing the front, and breakfast included fermented orange juice which was off-putting. Checkout lacked any engagement or inquiry about our stay, which felt a bit impersonal.

I loved the charming atmosphere of the hotel. The staff welcomed me warmly, making the check-in process smooth. My room, Mary Ann Hepworth, was clean and beautifully presented. The separate shower and bath were a nice touch. Breakfast was superb, especially the full English, using local produce. The location is excellent, providing easy access to the waterfront and shops. I faced noise disturbances from a delivery vehicle early in the morning and creaky floors from the room above. The bar area felt cramped, and there was a lingering damp smell that wasn’t pleasant. I'd suggest better soundproofing to enhance guest comfort, especially for light sleepers. Parking can be tricky. I had to walk a bit to find a spot. Despite these issues, my overall stay was enjoyable and memorable.

Just had a great time with friends! We visited the iconic Abbey and the stunning beaches. Super friendly staff and location are perfect for exploring. Just a heads up, though, we noticed some quirky shower issues and the bar lacked some vibe in the evenings. worth every moment!
Our stay was let down by noisy neighbors at night, which made it tough to get a good sleep.

It was just an ideal choice for a short visit in Whitby with good value. The staff helped me rescue my iPhone late one night. Make sure to ask about the history of the building when you check in.

Spent a delightful time in this charming spot right in the historic heart of Whitby, with our five kids. The spacious room was a bonus, and we loved how easy it was to explore the town’s attractions. Breakfast was freshly made and had variety.
My wife says that getting all the kids to bed in such a confusing stair setup was tough. A nightlight would really help families with children stay more relaxed. Some areas felt a bit outdated, requiring a refresh.

The room was spacious and had a lovely view, ideal for our family. Staff provided excellent service and were very accommodating, even assisting us with our luggage. Breakfast featured high-quality ingredients, including delicious cinnamon rolls. the old and lumpy furniture detracted from our comfort, and a strong unpleasant smell from the stairwell made our stay less enjoyable.

comfortable stay but needs better amenities
The room was incredibly spacious, offering a relaxing atmosphere! The breakfast had a wide variety of tasty options, exceeding my expectations.
While the location was convenient, the lack of modern amenities was a downside.
