Property Amenities

High Tor Guest House occupies a 19th-century Victorian townhouse 500 metres from Whitby Beach. The property offers free on-street parking permits for guests, a benefit in this permit-only neighbourhood. Complimentary snacks and beverages, including local biscuits and a bag of chocolates, are placed in each room upon arrival.

Themed Rooms

Each guest room is individually themed with chic, quirky decor inspired by classic film and music memorabilia. Signed movie and concert posters line the hallways and rooms, covering genres from rockabilly to gothic. Rooms include a king-size bed, chaise longue in some, and a spacious en suite with a power shower.

Breakfast & Dining

Breakfast is served each morning using locally sourced Yorkshire produce, with a menu that includes a full Yorkshire breakfast, vegetarian options, and avocado bagels. Guests order the night before via a pre-printed menu, and special dietary requirements such as vegan or gluten-free are accommodated. Freshly squeezed orange juice and filter coffee are included.

Location & Parking

The guest house is a 5-minute walk from Whitby's town centre and a 20-minute stroll to Whitby Abbey. Scarborough Castle is 32 km away, and Flamingo Land Theme Park is 40 km from the property. A parking permit is provided upon arrival for free on-street parking, and an extension permit allows a later checkout.

Guest Services & Extras

Hosts John and Lisa provide personalised guest recommendations for nearby restaurants and attractions. The property is adults-only, ensuring a quiet environment for couples. Free WiFi is available throughout the building, and the hosts arrange late checkout parking permit extensions when possible.

“The attention to detail here is truly commendable, from the quality linens and toiletries to the thoughtful welcome treats in the room. Guests are consistently impressed by the genuinely warm hospitality and the fascinating film and music memorabilia that adorns the house, creating a distinctive ambiance. It is clear this establishment prioritizes comfort and a memorable stay, evident in the well-appointed rooms and the exceptional breakfast offerings.”
