The Leeway really is a gem of a place and Gary could not be more helpful and informative. After a long drive we arrived cold and frazzled to be greeted by Gary who helped with the parking and welcomed us with tea and cake. The room was extremely comfortable with so many extra touches like the coffee machine, tasty local... More

A great place to stay convenient location, nice breakfast nicely fitted out bedrooms with comfy bed and nice linen towels etc. A warm welcome from the friendly hosts and the coffee and chocolate cake on arrival was a great touch allowing us to recover from the journey. We stayed in the attic room and found it very comfortable but we... More

We've just got back from a two night stay and for us it was the little things (some unexpected) that made all the difference: The magazines in our room, the pot of sweets, the full size hairdryer, the wine glasses and corkscrew, the Tassimo and top quality local biscuits, the comprehensive local information folder, the umbrellas and shoe cleaning kit...

Another great stay at The Leeway. A very easy and warm welcome awaits everyone from Garry and Karen. A hot cup of tea and a piece of carrot cake on arrival, great breakfast that keeps you going all day. Once again thank you and well done. More

Great welcome by Gary explaining everything. Being invited to sit on a comfortable sofa on arrival and offered a drink and cake was a great touch -- a very unhurried and relaxing way to check in for an overnight stay (which can often be a prolonged hassle in the usual places). Gary was very knowledgeable about Whitby and showed me... More

Karen and Garry were very friendly and informative about the local area and forthcoming events. We had a lovely breakfast, with plenty of choice. My partner felt that m,aybe the room was just a tad overpriced, but it was clean and quiet and had an excellent coffee machine. More
