The Hotel was in an excellent location it was maintained to a high standard and the hosts were very inviting, friendly and attentive.

Julie United Kingdom

Stunning B&B, the room was beautiful, the owners contacted us the day before to confirm arrival time and where there to great us on arrival, very helpful and knowledgably offered us loads of ideas on places to eat and drink around and places to park. Best B&B we've stayed at for along time. Breakfast - I wasn't sure what to expect with the covid restrictions but a beautiful breakfast tray containing croissants, bacon sandwiches, fruit, yogurt and toast was delivered to our room along with tea and coffee. we were offered the option to eat on the outside terrace as well. 100% would stay again.

The breakfast is lovely - served outside (weather permitting) or to your room. Was enough to keep us going the whole day! Andy & Polly are lovely people and nothing is too much trouble - we only had to ask! Recently refurbed to a brilliantly high standard with a brand new bed and luxury mattress - it was like sleeping on a cloud!

Host Info

Host Review Score 9.8

Now named Highgate House this beautiful Georgian town house was, for many years the Rectory of Whitby, then under private ownership has now been converted into 'high end' accommodation.

Polly & Andy Brown moved to Whitby in March 2015 after purchasing the 250 year old Highgate House a beautiful Georgian town house originally built for a sea captain and now converted to high end Georgian Rooms

Whitby is a beautiful harbour town which has retained most of its ancient charm. Now with a vibrant night life as well as lovely beach walks its the destination for getting away from it all mini breaks.
