This property has gone a long way since I last visited Whitby in terms of Bar and Restaurant. Food, service and Staff are excellent! The owners still have a lot of work to do with the accommodation, but its got to be a big work in progress. The room was clean however it was tired and dated.

This hotel is under renovation so if you get a modernised room, it's probably a good value stay. But paying over £100 for a room that appears to have not been touched by a paint brush since the 1980s is a bit hard to swallow. Staff all great and the bar is lovely, and obviously great views and great location.

Great old fashioned hotel. We had a newly refurbished room was excellent. The breakfast was great. Pity the lift isn’t working I do think people should be made aware of this and all the building work that is going on. For some elderly people this is a main concern For the two nights we were there we had a great time and were made very welcome

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were excellent on arrival - friendly and informative. The room was comfortable, though the limited opening of the window restricted the amount of fresh air that could be drawn in. The building is currently undergoing refurbishment and the scaffolding on the outside did impact the sea view somewhat, but this did not detract from the overall experience.
