We had a wonderful time. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed, and everything was spotless and inviting. The room was comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The location is perfect - close enough to explore Whitby’s attractions but in a peaceful spot for a good night’s sleep. We couldn’t have asked for better hospitality. Highly recommended!
