    Could really use additional biscuits for each morning!!! An extra couple of pillows wouldn't hurt either!!! It's the small touches that elevate an experience, and sometimes those details seem overlooked.

    limited biscuit supply
    hilly walk back

    Had a great time on our three-night getaway exploring Whitby. The room was spacious and clean, with a nice mini fridge stocked with complimentary drinks that was perfect for late-night snacks. I particularly enjoyed the lovely walks to the beach and the town center, which was just a short stroll away, even with some hills to navigate. The added bonus was the parking permit that made things super easy for our trip.

    The scenic coastal walks were a hit. My family loved wandering through the charming streets of Whitby and soaking in the local culture.

    My wife says that a family-friendly breakfast option would be great.

    great location

    The whalebone arch was a delight! Our large double room was super clean and super comfy. Loved the little touches like the mini fridge with drinks and snacks. It's a short stroll down those narrow streets to the center, and we really enjoyed the indoor swimming pool at the nearby sports centre.

    Lovely stay in Whitby!

    The location was great for wandering into town. The room was super spacious and spotlessly clean. Loved having a mini fridge with milk and drinks on hand. Only thing was the heating took a bit to kick in, but it didn't spoil the good vibes. Definitely recommend!
