The Riviera Guest House

10/10 Excellent

The Granby Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great stay as a solo traveller for work; I had a slight issue before I was due to arrive but the team were brilliant and sorted it for me. The room was great and looks recently renovated, and the bar downstairs was perfect for a drink and evening meal. I'll certainly stay again when im next in Whitby."

The Dolphin

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay, super convenient location for exploring Whitby and a public car park only 3 minutes walk away. Great selection of tea & biscuits in the room on arrival and a fridge with bottled water & milk in the hallway for all rooms to access. Breakfast was made fresh upon request. Great price for everything that was included."

Argyle House

10/10 Excellent

"The Argyle was a lovely guest house. A good walk to the front, but enjoyable. I couldn't comment on the staff, because there weren't any! All booked online, keys and car parking disc, left in an envelope at the door. Very difficult to get in touch with the owners if you needed anything. Too impersonal for me, I like a meet and greet."

LilyRose Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great view and room was comfy and well equipped."

La Rosa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely little boutique hotel run by super friendly hosts. The rooms are quite something and the place is chock full of eccentric vintage finds, it has real character. We had a deep, luxurious bath in our room and the vintage glass bottle of bubble bath was a nice touch. We had the breakfast (veggie continental) one morning and it was delicious, lots of fresh little picky bits to eat and drink. It’s up on the cliffs with a lovely view of the abbey but still an easy walk into town. Just sad we didn’t get to try the cocktail bar!"

Whitby Sea View Cottage Harbour Views Quiet Cragg

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect. The house had anything you could need. Very comfortable!"
