“The location strikes a fine balance, sitting right on the cliff with striking sea vistas yet a comfortable fifteen-minute walk into Whitby's centre. Many rooms are notably spacious and clean, with some boasting truly spectacular sea views; comfort is clearly a priority, especially with the beds consistently praised. Breakfasts are well-regarded, offering good choices and local produce, and the friendly staff contribute to a welcoming atmosphere.”
