to get started.

It was a last minute booking, It was very quirky but we really expected that. The breakfast was really good & the owner really friendly & helpful.

Absolutely loved this place! Clean, comfortable, convenient and completely unique. The staff are very helpful and friendly with a great sense of humour. The breakfast is really good too.

Peter

Great B&B with Gothic themed rooms , ideal for the whole Whitby experience. Kev the owner is a brilliant host , very accommodating. Fantastic breakfast in the lovely candlelit breakfast room.

Jean

United Kingdom

Hands down the best B&B I've stayed in! The decor throughout was amazing and just as advertised, it was well kitted out, with the added bonus of having your own bathroom(!), and Kev (owner) was very accommodating, giving us a tour of the B&B, which was entertaining in itself! I felt it was also reasonably priced, considering everything you get with the catering etc and decor. It was immaculate and VERY clean, the bed was comfy, and there was a good collection of gothic books and DVDs to sink your teeth into. It's also well located, being only a 10 minute walk from the town centre. I'll definitely be staying again!

Holly

Amazing themed rooms. A 10min walk to the harbour. Kev the host is really funny and full of information.

Janet

The decor lovely. Dining room very atmospheric. Kev was friendly and warm. Not an en-suite but every room has its own bathroom. Selection of videos and DVDs to watch in your room and even a surprise in wardrobe. Delicious breakfast and plenty of it. Will definitely go back if can book a room as always full

The only real fault was, although we did have our own bathroom it was along the corridor & fighting with coffins, broomsticks & witches to get to the loo in the middle of the night was a challenge

The only thing that stopped it being a 10 was that my husband prefers an en-suite. We did have our own private bathroom though just down the hall.

Although there is no en suite, we had our own private bathroom and never met any other guests on the way to it.
Kev the owners dark sense of humour complimented the dark theme of the guest house. Breakfast was between 08.30 and 09.00 and was excellent. Cooked to order, choice of full veggie or full meaty.

Room was too warm for me but we was having a heatwave at the time but we had a fan which helped alot.
We liked everything. Kev was so helpful. Breakfast was lovely. Deco was fantastic, such a lovely place. No ensuite but you get a private bathroom. Lots of horror dvds to watch if you fancy it. Looking forward to trying the other rooms out.
