Beautiful hotel, lots of character and really friendly staff. We stayed in La Rosa room and enjoyed a delicious cocktail in the lounge before going out to explore Whitby. Thoroughly recommend!
A unique and fabulously styled hotel, in a fantastic location. I've wanted to stay for a long time and it certainly lived up to expectations. Lovely team of folk behind it and we really enjoyed the cocktails. I look forward to visiting again, thankyou!

Definitely worth staying here
Really helpful and friendly staff in a place full of character.
We loved our stay here! Each room is so unique - I promise you'll never stay in a place quite like it! The staff are incredibly nice, especially the dog greeter, John!
Fantastic hotel! Gorgeous and unusual rooms, so many weird and wonderful trinkets all over the hotel, we loved our stay! Rob was very friendly too - great welcome and hosting.
This hotel is really special. Great Victorian ambiance. Amazing view of the abbey and bay. Do not expect TV but wifi is good. Loved the all antique decor.
The rooms and bar area are quirky and full of character. The view of Whitby and the abbey from the room was spectacular. John the reception / bar staff was brilliant throughout, and was always friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning!
Hotel was good, interesting and aell positioned. Only downside would be storage in room if you were in Whitby for more than 2-3 nights

Fabulous quirky hotel
Quirky hotel where each room is themed. Decorated with lots of recycled vintage items. The room and en-suite were a good size. Our room had a view of the beach and Abbey. Orange juice delivered to our room each morning. Fabulous location- walking distance of the harbour etc.
Beautiful hotel. Looks amazing. Very friendly and very welcoming. My room was amazing also. Loved my stay and would definitely go back again and definitely recommend staying there
