Its location in the old town places guests perfectly for exploring Whitby's attractions, after which they can enjoy the relaxed dining and unique rooms.

Excellent Location with Great Breakfast
perfect location dog inclusion a la carte breakfast
The location was perfect for all attractions. I could bring my dog. The breakfast was included and a la carte. I enjoyed some drinks in the pub at a reasonable price.
The pub is dark small and gloomy. It was empty when I watched the football. I did not enjoy being in the room at all. I did not sleep well due to noise.
