This is a room in a pub. But our room was to a high standard and almost large enough to be a suite. Absolutely in the centre of Whitby. Breakfast was good and hearty too. Could do with more power sockets in the room, though.

The location was excellent! I love the room and the staff was fabulous except for the bartender and person in charge on evenings! He was rude and unaccommodating. He’s a type of person that ruins a perfect evaluation! Everything there was perfect except for him, and I recommend that the establishment replace him. I saw him being rude to others as well.

Yes- very clean and staff very friendly and helpful. Could have done with a bit more cupboard space and bathroom could have done with a shelf. Breakfast was good and immaculate tablecloths. A lift would have been helpful as we were on the top floor.
