A beautiful period property. Easy to find good parking. The only problem was room at front of property would benefit from better double glazing as traffic noise could be heard all night, disturbing sleep.

We have just had a two night stay and couldn't fault the hotel. We were in room number 6, large room with a double bed, sofa, table and 2 chairs, tea making facilities, en suite bathroom with shower, French doors opening onto the front balcony. Spotlessly clean. Ideal location, short walk into Whitby Town. Would definitely recommend and will be booking again.

Nice room, very clean. Only problem was that we were on the top floor on one of the hottest days of the year and the room was boiling. We left the window open but we were right next to a main road and the traffic noise was really loud.

Stayed in room 13 Room was clean with plenty of storage . Bed frame very rickety and squeaky and poor mattress both need replacing as poor nights sleep .should provide fan as top room was very hot . Curtains need throwing away as badly stained and ripped also needs a darker set as was woke up as soon as it got light because white curtains .would be helpful to know which room you are in and the code for keys before you arrive instead of having to ring housekeeper for the room and code numbers .

I really liked this, used to live in Whitby so like coming home. The food is excellent apart from Trenchers which was down on last years although the service was good. My bedroom was superb - beautifully done using all options there for you. Many thanks for a lovely time. Jane Brown

Self check in details sent in good time and the process was painless. Room a little compact for a deluxe room and not sure which city i was seeing from the "city view" but all i could see was the house next door.

Elford House

The stay was comfortable the only thing was that we were there with our dog but were put in a top floor room. I did try to change rooms but they were the only dog friendly room available which made things slightly difficult taking dog out on bathroom breaks.
