The best place I have been to in UK

This is the best place that ever stay not only in England but UK. Clean, qyeut and everything in good condition. Close to coast and 13 min walk or you can catch bus (bus stop 1 min away) to centre. Small fridge was provided which helps if you want to keep some fruits or jogurt. Everything thing worked perfectly. Shower, TV, kettle. Found nice book with all informations that I needed for my stay but also few recommended restaurants and places to see. Highly recommend to stay. Thank you.

Perfect

Sea view from part of the double aspect windows. Fridge in room and glasses etc provided.
Richard, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay but cold room.

Great location, spotlessly clean. The room was cold and you couldn’t turn the heating up as it was blocked. A long walk to find anywhere to eat. On the plus side, very well organised and very clean. Would I go again? maybe in the summer when it’s warmer and the heating isn’t an issue.
Sally, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice place very clean & convenient for town centre . Large bathroom , only slight criticism was the small shower & the position of the shower holder . The size of the bathroom would have leant itself for a larger shower
Robert, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

fantastic rooms.

Super clean and very nicely decorated, lobby, stairway & room, we stayed for three nights, our only issue was the size of the shower, so small you can only wash your top half, also with no daily room service, which didn't bother us there was only a thimble full off shower gel and one of shampoo to last three nights.
Mark, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Self explanatory with the star system
Stephen, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Easy to get to town close enough to walk although to and from town quite hilly but whitby is hilly and beautiful. The whalebone arch is located on a relatively quiet street, the room on the ground floor lovely, cant fault it. Received information from owners regarding time of arrival, on street parking permit was provided by the property even includes the day of departure so we were able to enjoy a third day at whitby before going home, Whitby is lovely and will be back.
Scott, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great comms from Emma and dave, comprehensive booklet explaining everything locally, spotless clean and like new.. Comfiest bed I've ever slept in. 11/10 all day long.

Great place to stay in Whitby

This was a great place to stay for a three day trip to Whitby. Emma contacted me by text the day before we were due to arrive with check in and parking instructions which all went seamlessly. The room (room 6) was a very good size with a large bathroom and plenty of good quality towels. A very nice touch was the complimentary water and pint of milk in the fridge. There was also plenty of storage space. There is no breakfast on the premises but a ten minute walk into town provided plenty of options. Overall a lovely hotel and a great place to stay in this lovely seaside town. We would definitely stay again.
