18th May 2025:

Beautifully presented B and B. Spotlessly clean. Excellent breakfast. Very friendly owners. Good communication throughout. We had rooms 1 and 2. 2 is described as cozy and it is on the small side but has everything you need. Short walk into the centre of Whitby - restaurants, shops etc, but be aware it is quite a hill to go down to town and therefore a climb to get back. On street parking which we had no trouble finding.

Lovely walk along the beach to Sandsend when the tide is out.

Would Recommend: Yes

12th May 2025:

A comfortable, clean and spacious bedroom. Bathroom a bit small - would’ve been awkward for larger people to move around easily. Good location just a few minutes from beach and town centre. Very nice breakfast. Friendly, welcoming service.

Five minute walk into town, lovely room, delicious breakfast and friendly hosts. Everything was spotlessly clean and the fresh bed linen smelt lovely. Thank you for your warm hospitality Simon and Lane - and for the amazing weather :)

Based on the fact that we are Bram Stoker fans, Whitby did not disappoint. Our favourite shop was the gothic Den of Antiquity, our food highlights were the fish and chips at Mister Chips, pork and stuffing rolls from The Greedy Pig and the best Sunday roast we've ever eaten at The Crown in Hutton-le-Hole. The North Yorkshire moors are breath-taking and it was certainly worth the five hour drive. It was a wonderful weekend.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st October 2024:

Our hosts Simon and Lane were very friendly and welcoming. The room we stayed in (room 1) was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We both really enjoyed the cooked breakfast each morning. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay with you. You were both wonderful hosts and were so helpful and assistive. Our breakfasts were just lovely. The fruit, very fresh and the full English were excellent. The room was very comfortable and just what we required. Haven't felt as long or as well for some while!!! Thank you.

Whitby is such a vibrant place and Whitehaven is so well positioned to enjoy all of it. It's a 10 minute walk to the centre and a 5 minute walk to the "whale bone". Our preferred restaurants were Crocodile, a lovely tapas and Trenchers for the obligatory fish and chips!! Monmatra is a bespoke little wine bar near the old market which was quaint and atmospheric.

A lovely property, exceptionally clean and really well maintained. On top of this Simon, Lane and the team are very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending the Whitehaven Guest House. We’ve stayed in a number of B&B’s in Whitby over the past few years and this is definitely the best.

Lovely guest house. Very tastefully decorated and extremely clean. Simon and Laine are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. Good choice for breakfast and quality of food. We were made to feel very welcome and at home.

We weren't on a tourist trip on this occasion. However, we did visit Sneaton Castle for the first time and I would highly recommend a visit there, it's beautiful and the food is wonderful. Also on the food front, you can't go wrong for fish, but my recommendation would be Royal Fisheries and the Fisherman's Wife. Lots of things to do and see in the town. The tour bus might be a good idea for first time visitors, to get a feel of the place.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th June 2023:

We really enjoyed our stay. Room 1 is spacious and has a lovely view of the Abbey in the distance. The breakfast was great and set us up for the day. Friendly owners who on our arrival even explained how the TV and satellite worked in our room. Great service.

Whitby town centre is a short walk. This was our first visit to Whitby so we enjoyed visiting the Abbey and climbing the 199 steps! We visited during Folk week so added bonus of live impromptu music in the pubs. If you like traditional pubs try the Fleece and the Station Inn. Plenty of good seafood to eat too.

Such a welcome return after a couple of years to find that everything is still perfect. Generous and friendly hosts, spotless rooms and brilliant breakfasts. Would not hesitate to recommend to other people. Just book direct with Simon and Lane.

Talk to the hosts about parking and places to visit. Whitby is changing as are eating places, so can't offer any suggestions based on short recent visit. Get a take away coffee though from the Coffee Shack - round the corner from the Lifeboat museum/shop - excellent coffee and open until late (for Whitby).

Robin hood’s bay is definitely a visit whilst here. We walked a different way down to the beach each time we stayed which allowed us to stumble upon different shops we wouldn’t have originally seen if we had followed the signs. Lots of quaint little areas!

Simon and Lane were perfect hosts. They were very welcoming and friendly. We were well looked after. The accommodation was lovely, beautifully and tastefully decorated. Facilities were excellent and it was very handy having a wash basin in the room. Breakfast was superb with a great choice. Chris and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely go back.

Great choice of fish and chip restaurants but our favourite was the Royal Fisheries, recommended to us by our family. For a special night out the Star Inn is beautiful. Delicious food at the Hart Inn in Sandsend. Plenty to do in Whitby, the Abbey, boat trips, children's pool, great shops and lovely villages not too far away.

Would Recommend: Yes

31st July 2021:

Very hospitable and helpful proprietors, so welcoming. Lovely guest house one of the best we have visited in our short trips over the years. The bed was so comfortable and the en-suit bathroom small but beautiful.

The main harbour lots going on, chip shop/fish restaurant on every corner, little boat trips, fishing trips for anglers. Shops for all, clothes, trinkets, antiques etc. A walk to the abbey is worth a visit. The main beach and promenade is a must. I would advise comfortable footwear as walking down to the harbour is fine but walking back up to the crest and promenade is slightly more challenging (ha ha ha).

Would Recommend: Yes

27th July 2021:

Lovely guest house - friendly and welcoming hosts - the place was spotless. Delicious breakfast with good variety of choice. Short walk to the main town but something we enjoyed, taking in the atmosphere. Would highly recommend staying here

You must visit the 199 steps and the Abbey and St. Mary's Church (amazing inside)- also a nice stop off point at the top is the Whitby Brewery garden with outside seating. There are so many restaurants and cafes in Whitby all of fantastic quality that you dont really need to leave Whitby but if you do fancy a day out you must visit Robin Hood's Bay. Also if the sun is shining then the sandy beaches are a must!

Would Recommend: Yes

25th July 2021:

Excellent guest house ..very clean..food very good ..owners very friendly and helpful short walk to all amenities would highly recommend..thanyou.. Rgds colin and diane

Magpie and trenches are the most popular restaurants but can be a nightmare to get in as they are so popular but don't worry about trying other restaurants as they were fine too... lovely little quaint streets and shops across the bridge in cobbled streets nice to walk round...alot of hills so maybe not suitable for the elderly etc

Would Recommend: Yes

14th July 2021:

Had a lovely few days away felt really safe Simon and lane made sure with all covid restrictions in place just felt normal,breakfast was superb,room was spotless,great location plenty of parking will definitely be back

Plenty of restaurants from fish,(magpies quayside,trenchers) Italian (casa nostra highly recommend)

Would Recommend: Yes

7th July 2021:

At our age you need to go to the toilet at least once in the night, so privatising the bathroom of room 4 would be more convenient. Then I wouldn't need to get dressed to go for a w**.

All rooms have been updated during lockdown so everything is brand spanking new. Ate at The Granby (traditional pub) and The Resolution (bit more upmarket) both were very good.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st June 2021:

Really enjoyed the stay, no complaints about anything. Room and bathroom were all clean and tidy with a tea and coffee tray provided, also a hairdryer. The location is ideal on Whitby West Cliff - our room had views of the sea and the abbey. The breakfast was tasty and filling with local ingredients and the owners and other guests were careful to operate within Covid distancing requirements. All in all I'd have no hesitation in recommending it to others looking for accommodation in Whitby, and we hope to go back soon

Would Recommend: Yes

The rooms are to a high standard and everywhere is immaculately clean. Breakfasts are brilliant with lots of choices and the hosts, Simon and Lane are lovely, welcoming and helpful people. Will definitely stay there again.

Absolutely loved stopping here. Rooms were lovely and comfortable. Close to town centre and right next door to the leisure centre. The owners were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble and the breakfast was amazing. Would not hesitate to stop here again, we loved it.

Plenty to do close by but parking is limited, we used the leisure centre car park next door, parking fees were reasonable.

We loved our stay in Whitby, our hosts were lovely and friendly. They couldn't do enough for us. The whole house was spotless and our room was spacious and well equipped. The breakfast was delicious and tasty. The location was perfect, a few minutes walk to the shops, harbour and restaurants. We would happily recommend Whitehaven Guest House. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

Great location and a small but personal place to stay. Everywhere in the premises was spotless and the breakfast was first class. Simon and Lane were brilliant hosts and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely return to this guest house on our next visit to Whitby. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

Trenchers was a great place to eat, fish and chips to die for. My wife also had the seafood salad which was excellent and good value.

Very welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable hosts took time to have a chat with us about our day and gave us a few places of interest where we might enjoy.

We had a meal at The Fishermans Wife which was delicious, went to the Star Restaurant not impressed, poor seating arrangement & expensive for what you get, enjoyed fish & chips from Quayside chippy.

Simon and Lane were extremely welcoming. Th perfect hosts. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Whitehaven to friends and family in fact we already have.

There is loads todo in Whitby , historically visit the Abbey or lots of Captain Cook history to delve into. It is also a place for walking. You can walk to Robin Hoods Bay by a coastal route or take the bus. There are many other places nearby Staithes,Scarborough,Goatland...The beach is beautiful and very clean and inviting.As far as restaurants are concerned I think there are too many that do FishnChips .We didn’t see any Italian or Chinese etc So food places a bit disappointing unless you want chips every night!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for taking the time to review your stay with us, we are so pleased you enjoyed your visit to Whitehaven and enjoyed Whitby, we are sorry about your experience with restaurants, it is true there are many fish and chip outlets but there are some very good restaurants offering different Fayre tucked away,waiting to be discovered,these do include Indian, Thai, Tapas, Mediterranean, Italian, Chinese and French cuisine, unfortunately during your visit several of these restaurants were closed temporarily due to Covid. We do hope you will visit again in the future and give these restaurants a try. Kind regards Simon & Lane

The house was immaculate and decorated to a very high standard. Breakfast excellent both the full English and local kippers. The hosts were charming and on learning it was my birthday very kindly left a bottle of Prosecco in our room was a very nice gesture. All in all a lovely guest house owned and managed by a lovely couple,

Just returned from a two night stay at whithaven in Whitby. Fantastic b&b, spotlessly clean, comfy bed, amazing breakfast. Simon and Lane are lovely people and great hosts. Could not fault it.

Would Recommend: Yes

6th September 2020:

A warm welcome from Simon & Lane and a good explanation of how they're operating in the current Covid environment. Our double room was small but we were fully aware of that at the time of booking. The freshly made breakfasts were excellent & the premises was spotlessly clean throughout. B&B ideally situated for a walk down into Whitby or out to the West Cliff area for a bracing walk. We'd love to return in the future so keep up the great work!

You've got to visit all the main attractions & just take in the ambience of Whitby which was pleasantly busy. Getting on the local buses & trains wasn't a problem & gets you out & about without needing to take the car. In these current covid times getting an evening meal in the town needs a little more thought and not all venues would book a table at a specific time, it tended to be you left your number for a callback. It generally wasn't an issue for us but could be for a family.

Would Recommend: Yes

Simon and lane were super host kind and friendly...You could tell that they love what they do ..The BB was beautiful and the attention to detail showed how much it meant to them ....We stayed in room 2 which we thought was a little small as we never travel light ...The room was cosy and comfortable indeed ...We would stay at whiteheaven on return to whitby ..The breakfast was delicious and a good choice .Great value for money would and already have recommended to friends ...

Tour bus was good hop on hop off bus you saw more of whitby ...If you needed to know best places to eat ect just ask simon are lane they point you in the right direction as to good places to eat and visit ....We did visit the gin distillery gin tasting but did ring up first nice to try diffrent gins .Bus to scarboure was great value £7.80 return but if you have a bus pass you can use that .

Fantastic guest house. Great facilities and only a 10 minute walk from the harbour. Very clean. Simon & Lane are lovely and very keen to ensure you enjoy your stay. The breakfast was one of the best. Great selection for all tastes. We would highly recommend a stay at Whitehaven Guest House.

So many lovely restaurants - but at the moment you must book in advance. For us The Stables was the best, but non of the restaurants we visited disappointed.

Would Recommend: Yes

Excellent service from Simon and Lane. Nothing too much trouble from anything extra needed to advise on eating out etc. Highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting Whitby. Young or old.
