Family-run hospitality

“What struck me most is how well this family-run guesthouse balances its rich history with modern comforts. I found the cooked-to-order breakfasts and sea-view rooms particularly appealing-a rare treat at this price point. Its location opposite The Spa and a short walk to town makes it ideal for those wanting to explore Whitby.”
