“Rooms above the bar maintain surprisingly high standards, and the location places guests moments from Whitby's harbour bridge. I noted the hotel's dedication to freshly cooked breakfasts and find the focus on traditional pub fare appealing. Its proximity to key attractions and the North York Moors makes it an excellent base for exploring the area.”
