Pros:

Excellent location, amazing staff, stunning room with top class facilities.
Just the ideal place to stay in Whitby, we will certainly visit again.

Cons:

The only slight issue is the lack of parking close by, but this is due to logistics, and the fabulous location of the establishment, right on the seafront.
