Characterful property, lovely breakfast, helpful & friendly hosts. On street parking with residents pass is available but there are several nearby guest houses so would recommend arriving at the property promptly if a very nearby space is required. Several nearby resterants and cafes. View of Whitby abbey from the front door. Convenient for all the sights.

Awesome! Just book it now.

Amazing stay! Martin and Vanessa could not have done any more eto make this perfect! Smashing breakfast, lovely attention to detail, fab comms to discuss arrival arrangements. Room was top notch, 2 slices of fresh carrot cake in the room, milk and water in the fridge. Good chatting with you both after breakfasts, if we were more local we would definitely need you in our social circles. Lisa and Mike x

A warm weekend in Whitby

Rosslyn House is a very comfortable and spotlessly clean B&B run by a very welcoming and friendly couple. The breakfasts we had were superb and set us up for the day. The only negative we had was with the car parking. We arrived in Whitby on a very hot September day and the town was crammed with visitors. There was hardly a parking space to be found anywhere. An on street parking pass is provided by the proprietors but I had to park on a municipal car park overnight and pay. Luckily I found an on street parking spot not too far from the Rosslyn the next day. The Rosslyn is located close to the promenade at West Cliff and only 10 minutes walk from the town centre.
