Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Haven Crest offers immaculately clean and modern rooms, providing a comfortable stay for many guests, and is conveniently located for a pleasant walk to the town center and a stunning coast walk. The full English breakfast is a highlight, often described as a feast, with cereals, fruit, toast and gluten-free options available. While some guests have found certain rooms to be on the smaller side, the on-site parking is a real plus, and the location provides good access to Whitby's attractions.
