Loved by The Arches Guest House guests
"Breakfast/brunch bags were delicious and very substantial, and the rooms were spotless as usual."
"On both occasions we had a full English breakfast which consisted of sausage, bacon, fried egg, tomato, baked beans, mushroom and toast."
"We found the parking really good, parking near the guest house which is a first for us as we normally have to keep going round and round when we have been to Whitby before."

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.”

mixed feelings about the stay.
steep staircaseinconvenient sink
The self check-in process felt impersonal. I expected a warmer reception, but instead, I found a code on the door for entry. There was no plug for the bathroom sink, quite inconvenient, AND the breakfast room was located in a basement. Access was via a steep staircase.
