    Recently updated - nice clean rooms with comfortable bed. Hot water in shower. There is a lockbox system to pick up the key. The email with the code was sent to my phone and I had no issues checking in (even checked in a couple of hours early).

    Spacious room, firm, very comfortable bed. Just far enough out of the center of Whitby to be quiet at night but close enough to walk everywhere. Lovely town to visit - would visit again.

    A wonderful guest house, spotlessly clean, warm (we were there in February) and one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in. The hosts were very welcoming and made our stay in Whitby even more pleasant, free parking right outside too!
