Beautiful stay

Beautiful place to stay ideal position, parking easy ,very clean ,can't fault anything.
Trevor, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely place to stay

The Whalebone Arch was clean and comfortable, with seaviews from some rooms ,the only contact with the owners was by text, it was informative and the instructions easy to follow.Thank you Emma . The hotel is situated just outside of Whitby town centre , its walkable, but there are buses if needed, or taxis which are approximately £5 each way . We enjoyed our stay there . Car parking is a good plus too

Matthew, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I liked that a lot of thought was put into the additions to the room and helpful folder . I was worried that I'd be woke up by seagulls or other guests but definitely no thin walls here . Nice to be able to walk to see the beach in less than a minute and Long King restaurant if you're hungry . We found being close to a bus stop very handy too . A great place to stay .

The best place I have been to in UK

This is the best place that ever stay not only in England but UK. Clean, qyeut and everything in good condition. Close to coast and 13 min walk or you can catch bus (bus stop 1 min away) to centre. Small fridge was provided which helps if you want to keep some fruits or jogurt. Everything thing worked perfectly. Shower, TV, kettle. Found nice book with all informations that I needed for my stay but also few recommended restaurants and places to see. Highly recommend to stay. Thank you.

Perfect

Sea view from part of the double aspect windows. Fridge in room and glasses etc provided.
Richard, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay but cold room.

Great location, spotlessly clean. The room was cold and you couldn’t turn the heating up as it was blocked. A long walk to find anywhere to eat. On the plus side, very well organised and very clean. Would I go again? maybe in the summer when it’s warmer and the heating isn’t an issue.
Sally, 3-night trip
