I've stayed here many times. It's a classic local Whitby pub with rooms. Recently refurbished, the room I had last time overlooked the harbour and was bright, clean and comfortable, although the little en suite was a bit a challenge for a big chap like me. Breakfast was good. It's a no fuss place with a bar that seems to... More

This is a 16 century "Real Ale", old fashioned pub. Rooms are basic but very clean & warm. Home cooked food is very nice. A lovely walk on the flat to the town centre. Live entertainment on over the weekend all year round. "Regulars" are very friendly and accommodating with tourists . You step down into the pub, so watch... More

We recently stayed here as we (ten blokes) booked a Whitby sea fishing trip. This is a classic B&B, not the ritz but what do you expect for the price you pay. The staff were great, the bar was great with plenty of good ales and the breakfast was plentyful. More

There was a massive hole in the ceiling with a bowl placed underneath which housed a dirty, smelly wet tea... More

This has to be the worst place I have ever stayed. If you like sticky carpets, furniture out of a skip Very loud karaoke to 1am in the morning and 3 TV channels then this is the place for you. I would not recommend booking in here unless you are lager lout who singer badly and likes to wake up... More
