Location absolutely spot on right in the middle of everything without being noisy. Thought the car parking was going to be a problem but with the pass and the disc zone pass it wasnât. Plenty to see and do with a great choice of places to eat and drink. Found nearly everywhere was dog friendly which was great and there were so many lovely places to visit within a short drive. Whitby what a fantastic clean place to stay.

It is everything it says it is in the listings. The owners are lovely and made contact to ensure that everything was OK and gave us advice on where to park. They even left a lovely bottle of red wine, fruit cake and milk, very thoughtful - thank you.
