The Whalebone Arch

10/10 Exceptional

Nice property. Quiet with a comfortable bed. It’s at West Cliff, about 20 minutes walk from the station. It’s technically near the beach but the cliff lift is out of action so it’s a walk to get there. The quietness is the problem as the area feels residential. To get into Whitby is a fair walk down. There is a cost cutters with cash point at the roundabout, a cash only Chinese on the cliff top road and a bar (which was rude when I went in). There are ice cream vans about but you have to walk...

Very clean, tidy and comfortable , a few minutes walk from everywhere you would want to go to. Comments on the steps are not that bad, 5 small flights 6 steps each, shouldn’t be an issue really when you are booking a top floor, what would you expect? Everything you need in the kitchen for a short stay, fresh milk in the fridge and everything spotless, dishwasher there if you need it. Bed was comfy and being 6’4 and 5,11 we did not have any issues sleeping or walking around the beamed...

Welcomed by very polite helpful staff. Shown to our room. Room was spacious clean tidy and comfortable. Ate im the restaurant first evening there. I can absolutely say that was the most flavoursome beautifully presented filling seafood platter I've ever eaten (and I eat a lot of fish). Again polite helpful staff in the restaurant. Breakfast the next morning was also excellent with a large menu. Everything was done by the staff to make our stay there pleasant and enjoyable, they succeeded. We...

Saxonville Hotel

Whitby

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is a 1940 type building so expect charm and traditions rather than contemporary modern . The star of the show was the breakfast , classic table service , silver plated cutlery , fresh kipper , full English and frequent top ups of filet coffee . Nothing was too much trouble for the waitress . Loved it ! As did my 18 son so just shows traditional old school customer service is still appreciated Free car park and short walk to town centre .

Beautiful grounds accessed from the bar/rear of restaurant area - literally step outside and there they are. 10-15 minutes walk from the front of the hotel takes you into Sandsend, lovely village. Walk in the opposite direction takes you to Whitby, can walk or take car. Reception asked what our plans were each day, gave us parking disc for Whitby...gives you 3 hours in designated areas..perfect. Lovely hotel for a break that can be as relaxing or busy as you want it to be.

Stayed for just one night as part of our exploration of the great North East coast and really wished we could have stayed longer. We stayed in room 4 which was a delightful suite with a mezzanine bedroom. The room was spotlessly clean and very tastefully decorated. The bathroom was fantastic with the most amazingly powerful shower. The staff were incredibly helpful and polite and made our stay really enjoyable. We had dinner in the pub restaurant which was a true delight as was the...

A great value for money stay. My private ensuite room basic but functional as simply needing somewhere to sleep. Hand soap provided in room but no towels. The property does have self catering kitchens, a tv room, lounge (with board games) and conservatory. The adjoining cafe (which is open to the public) serves full breakfasts from 7.30am and closes as 8.30pm. Despite signage requesting quiet between 11pm and 7am, I was subjected to raised voices from a nearby room well beyond 2am. Nobody...
