I stayed at Riftswood B&B July 2012- and it was brilliant. Even though our bedroom had a WC in a separate room, it didn't compromise the stay. The rooms were clean and amiable- their pictures on their website do not do them justice. The hosts were all you could hope for, and more. Breakfast was one of the best I've... More

We stayed at the riftswood on the 16 17 and 18th of Feb, when we arrived we were given a lovely welcome by Pete and Paula and were treated to a glass of wine and a piece if cake, it came up in conversation that my wife only drinks decaf tea unfortunately they didn't have any, the next day they...

This review is probably an echo of the many others already on here but I wanted to reiterate how good this place is. The Riftswood is a lovely B&B run by the most welcoming and helpful couple Pete and Paula. They couldn't have tried any harder to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. We stayed in one of the larger double... More

What a gem of a B and B this is ! We booked through late rooms and only room 1 was available. Please note that this room 's w c is just next door to the room but is very private. Paula and Pete made us very welcome and served us probably one of the best breakfasts ever! It would... More

We are regular vistors to Whitby and would always stay in hotels but won't be from herein.

Never taken the time to write a review... More

What a great place to stay. Decided to try Riftswood after reading all the reviews and I was not disappointed. Normally I would prefer to stay in a hotel but after staying at Riftswood I am now a B & B convert. Good location easy to find and parking right outside the door. Only a short walk in to town....

Great breakfasts...so much choice and so much care and attention. Wonderful knowledge of the surrounding area and their passion for Whitby shone through....infectuous. We were a little worried about the... More

We had a wonderful 3 nights stay. Our hosts Paula and Peter were so welcoming and friendly. The room and breakfast were both superb. Would definitely recommend to anyone wishing a bit of genuine Northern hospitality.

This was our 4th visit to Riftswood B&B, proving that it is definitely worth a visit... Upon arrival we were greeted by Paula and Peter, and offered a cup of tea/coffee, glass of wine, and a piece of beautiful homemade fruit cake. This is a lovely introduction (and one that we have failed to find in ANY other B&B we... More
