The guest house was only a few minutes and a short walk from the rail station, which made its location perfect. David and Gwen were the perfect hosts, warm, friendly and helpful. As for the breakfast, it was superb, and the ideal way to start the day.

Our property is part of a white brick Victorian terrace built in 1870 by local business men. We are situated in Bagdale one of the most historic parts of beautiful Whitby town across from Pannet Park & with a chalybeate Spa Well in our back yard. We offer secure parking for our guests just up the road, but currently only have 4 spaces for 5 rooms, therefore parking is reserved on a first come first served basis. A space MUST be requested at the time of booking. If we have no availability, we will endeavour to find you street parking for your arrival.
We moved to The Florence in October 2023, new to the hospitality business we soon found we enjoyed every minute, we have now found our niche in life. We love sharing our wonderful home with our guests.
