We loved the peaceful location and beautiful gardens. The hotel is close to Sandsead beach and within walking distance to the restaurant in the main building. The rooms were modern, clean, and comfortable. The spa facilities, including the relaxing pool, were fantastic. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to make our stay special.
Could not be improved in any way.
We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel. The cleanliness of the rooms was outstanding, and the hotel facilities were top-notch. The parking was convenient, and the location to the center of Whitby was perfect with beautiful grounds to stroll around. The breakfast served in the very pleasant conservatory was delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful.
Nothing I didn't like to be fair.
The hotel's location in a conservatory area near the sea was fantastic. We loved being able to walk straight out along the beach. Additionally, the hotel facilities were excellent, with a spacious pool and well-maintained gardens. The cleanliness of the property was also top-notch. Finally, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making our stay even more enjoyable.
Can't fault anything about it.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The cleanliness of the rooms and hotel facilities were top-notch. The bathroom was spacious with a separate bath and large shower, and even had underfloor heating. The location was perfect, with the beach just a short walk away, and it was also well within reach of a nice walk to the nearby town. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. Additionally, the breakfast was cooked to perfection, with piping hot food served.
