A touch of class by the seaside
Pros:

I stayed here with my father as part of our road trip around the North East and Yorkshire. The place has a charm to it. Some reviewers are saying its old fashioned but i rather think that the hotel intends to be like classy hotels of the past. The staff are friendly, attentive and professional. The best part for me was the excellent breakfast with friendly staff operating full waitress service. So nobody needed to get up and get anything just sit and relax. The breakfast area had a certain class to it. yes like going back in time but in a good way. The room was good and comfortable too. The hotel is situated only about 2 minutes walk from the promenade area and a 10 minute or so gentle stroll down the promenade to the town centre. There is also a little private car park opposite the property. Perfect for what we needed i would recommend and stay again :) Lee

Retro perfect
Pros:

Total trip back in time, rooms are 1980’s but don’t that put you off, clean comfy and the TV is almost modern. The service is second to none! I’ve been in 5 star that could learn from this place! Especially the catering staff good old fashioned service.

Breakfast…. 5 star!
Pros:

Lovely clean tidy room and a well rested sleep but the cherry on the top of cake was the breakfast experience…..

From the moment you step into the breakfast room, you’re transported back to a time when breakfast was a truly special occasion. It captures the charm and elegance of traditional hotel dining that, sadly, so many places have now lost.

The service was impeccable—courteous, professional and genuinely warm. Instead of the now all-too-common self-service buffet, we were treated to classic table service by attentive waitresses, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal.

Every detail had been carefully considered. The tables were beautifully laid with crisp linen tablecloths, silver-plated cutlery and elegant serving pots, creating a wonderfully refined atmosphere. Freshly made toast was brought to the table, adding another thoughtful touch that made us feel genuinely looked after.

It wasn’t just breakfast; it was an experience.

A heartfelt thank you to all of the staff for such a wonderful start to the day. You should be incredibly proud of what you offer. It’s a rare pleasure to find a hotel that still values and delivers this level of traditional hospitality.

Could do with a facelift.
Pros:

Very clean.
Easy to walk into Whitby town.

Cons:

Rather old fashioned in our view.
Full waiter service at breakfast felt very strange and would prefer to only have this for cooked items.
Very noisy seagulls woke us early.
