Very nice little place above coffee shop. Room was very good, comfortable bed, slept very well. Good full english breakfast to start the day's walking. Location very good - close to lots of eateries and pubs central in the town and near the harbour. Highly recommended.
Very sadly, the breakfast bacon was so overdone and hard I didnt eat it. Minor point only as rest of the breakfast was very good. There was so much good stuff on my plate I didnt need it!

Central location on a surprisingly quiet street. Harbour and main thoroughfare only 3-4 minutes away. Room was lovely, clean and comfortable. Susan (the owner) and the staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was served in a funky book lined room and the breakfast itself was excellent. 10/10.
Stairway was a little difficult to navigate as narrow but it’s a period property so it is what it is.

Loved the location and the decor and the coffee shop below! It was lovely 😍
There are two narrow, steep staircases to the rooms. This is due to the age of the property but some may need a warning.

Parking available close by. Out of season, it's free in certain places, so don't head straight for St Hilds carpark.

The BnB was well located in Whitby, the decor was very fun and funky and the staff were super friendly and nice.
The bed was super uncomfortable. The mattress sloped down from the towards the edges and it felt like you would fall out.
The room was never cleaned while we were there.
We were awoken early by trash collectors on the street.

Well laid out room, lovely breakfast.
Quite a late breakfast if you're an early riser. (Unless you wanted to request to drag the staff in early which was an option)

Absolutely fantastic full English breakfast, all the staff were brilliant, and couldn't do enough for us. and the Sherlock Holmes themed eating areas were brilliant. A lot of thought has gone into this
Nothing to dislike, we enjoyed every part of our stay, Parking can be tricky in Whitby, watch out for the Traffic Wardens.
