    lack of breakfast

    We had a sweet as stay with an awesome sea view, but the noise from upstairs was a bit annoying at times. It was a comfy spot to chill.

    clean room
    extra biscuits
    additional pillows

    easy access to top floor, quiet area, spotlessly clean room

    Could really use additional biscuits for each morning!!! An extra couple of pillows wouldn't hurt either!!! It's the small touches that elevate an experience, and sometimes those details seem overlooked.

    spacious room
    clean accommodation
    complimentary drinks
    limited biscuit supply
    hilly walk back

    Had a great time on our three-night getaway exploring Whitby. The room was spacious and clean, with a nice mini fridge stocked with complimentary drinks that was perfect for late-night snacks. I particularly enjoyed the lovely walks to the beach and the town center, which was just a short stroll away, even with some hills to navigate. The added bonus was the parking permit that made things super easy for our trip.

    The scenic coastal walks were a hit. My family loved wandering through the charming streets of Whitby and soaking in the local culture.

    My wife says that a family-friendly breakfast option would be great.

    Lovely stay in Whitby!

    The location was great for wandering into town. The room was super spacious and spotlessly clean. Loved having a mini fridge with milk and drinks on hand. Only thing was the heating took a bit to kick in, but it didn't spoil the good vibes. Definitely recommend!
