Family-Run Hospitality
Dave and his family run this 4-star Victorian guest house, offering a relaxed stay with personal touches like homemade preserves and a welcoming atmosphere.
“This family-run guest house strikes me as a particularly solid choice in Whitby, largely for its location near the beach and harbour. I like that guests appreciate the generous breakfast, and the self-check-in seems to appeal to travellers looking for a bit more privacy. The personalized touch from the owners, Dave and the Girls, really stands out.”
