“This grade two listed building enjoys a prime spot near Whitby's train and bus stations, and its lively bar scene, complete with Sky and BT Sports, makes it a social hub; plus, there's a popular Sunday carvery. I think its location is ideal for exploring the town's attractions without facing steep hills. It's a characterful base for an active Whitby visit.”
