Lovely clean room with comfortable bed, bright and fresh. Good roomy shower with nice soft thick towels. Good guest lounge with fridge for use if required. Excellent breakfast with good ingredients. Very keen and enthusiastic owners - made us feel at home.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th May 2016:

Sophie and Phill were the perfect hosts, the Belfry is a stunning guest house in an excellent location. Parking wasn't an issue and we were made to feel most welcome. We stayed in room no. 7 which was beautiful, newly refurbished with a sumptuous tub. We will be returning!

Ask Phill if you are unsure of where to visit, he was like an encyclopedia for the area.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th May 2016:

Fresh, modern decor finishes off an excellent b&b. The luxury suite on the top floor is spacious and comfortable, with a lovely shower room. The only quibbles would be the lack of a soap dish, and a chair or two in the bedroom. Phill and Sophie could not have been nicer, and bring a youthful enthusiasm to the business.

Would Recommend: Yes

Couldn't fault it in any way. Beautiful place with delightful hosts

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd May 2016:

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you. Great hosts. You made us feel very welcome and provided a home from home. Loved the use of your lounge and to have the facilities to make good coffee, store our wine and have a chat with friends.

Lots of local restaurants within walking distance and you can't come to Whitby without sampling their 'Fish and Chips'. The streets of Whitby are quaint and quintessential of an 'Olde Worlde' seaside town. The steps up to the Abbey are worth the effort as views are tremendous. From the Belfry take a walk west along the beach. A good stroll to blow away the cobwebs. It's also worth exploring coves and bays on the coast both east and west from Whitby. Try to make your journey in or out of Whitby via the Yorkshire Dales...it's really worth exploring the Esk Valley and to see the huge skies of the Yorkshire Moors on a sunny day. Our stay was only for a couple of nights but we really wished we could have stayed longer!

Would Recommend: Yes

19th May 2016:

Fantastic hosts, even started breakfast early so we could catch the early train home. See you again soon!

1 minute walk to the beach, 10 minute walk to the 199 steps of the Abbey and various pubs shops and restaurants. Make sure you have dinner at the White Horse & Griffin.

Would Recommend: Yes

16th May 2016:

Phil and Sophie were wonderful hosts who clearly specialise in the area of hospitality. The rooms were beautiful and the sheets and pillow cases were of a very high standard. The Room was impecably clean, and the food at breakfast was cooked to perfection. We would most certainly stay at The Belfry when we visit again next year without hesitation. Thank you both for a special week end.

In the short time we stayed at Whitby, we really did cram as much in as possible. We jumped on the Whitby open top tourist bus which highlighted the areas and buildings of interest. We took a trip down the river in an ex RNLI rescue boat with a very interesting Captain offering all sorts of interesting local facts. We didn't have a bad meal and service was always friendly and professional. We could recommend the Fishermans Wide and Marine for the most exsqusite fish dishes. It is also worth while taking a short walk up the Whitby Lighthouse, it was £1.50 per adult and the views of the Abbey and Church were superb.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th May 2016:

The Belfry was recommended to us and our stay did not disappoint. We were personally welcomed by Phill and Sofie and shown around with guidance on the rooms etc. and local attractions and eating places. The rooms were extremely well decorated and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was more than ample and very good quality. A lovely stay, thank you. We will be returning.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th May 2016:

This was a lovely place to stay. Clean, lovely decor, friendly, attentive staff... But it was the details that really impressed me. Free fast wifi, a full length mirror and fresh milk available in our rooms! Will definitely stay here again.

The marine restaurant is amazing and although it is a fish restaurant the vegetarian options are beautiful. There's only two but quantity over quality.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th April 2016:

Everything was first class, accommodation was spotlessly clean, breakfasts were wonderful including daily specials such as eggs Benedict and Mexican eggs and slept in the biggest bed ever! We were made to feel very welcome, nothing was too much trouble and Phil and Sophie are a lovely couple. We have already booked a stay in Nov and will return again and again. Looking forward to trying out the new suite on the top floor! Highly recommend this wonderful B&B.

Beautiful views and near to Spa Pavillion in a quiet location, the whole of Whitby within walking distance.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th April 2016:

Phill and Sophie are the perfect hosts! On arrival we received a warm welcome, an orientation to the B & B, a handy Whitby Guide and a parking permit. Our bedroom was spotlessly clean with very comfortable beds, adequate storage facilities and a superb shower. My only negative comment would be the lack of a dressing table-type mirror to enable someone to sit to do their hair/make-up. The dining room is spacious and the breakfast delicious. The hospitality facilities in the resident's lounge are an added bonus!

The Belfry is just a stones throw from the West Prom and an easy walk down to the harbour where there are lots of boats offering short trips and many cafes and restaurants. Whitby is well supplied with benches - ideal for having a rest and doing a bit of 'people watching'.

18th April 2016:

Perfect Location for us, this Guest house is immaculate, really nice furnishings with attention to detail. Sophie and Phil are really nice and welcoming, if you had a problem I am sure it would be rectified promptly, but then I doubt that you would encounter problems at The Belfry. The breakfast was lovely. Parking was free, we stayed around the corner last month and had to pay £8. Well done Sophie and Phil.

Good food and plenty of it in the Granby just around the corner

Would Recommend: Yes

Would Recommend: Yes

12th April 2016:

Lovely guest house. Made to feel very welcome by Phil and Sophie. Hope to return later in the year.

Abbey wharf was a good find for food or drink. Lovely walk along the beach to sandsend.

Would Recommend: Yes

7th April 2016:

We have no complaints what so ever, you were so welcoming and genuinely happy to help us with anything we needed. The breakfast was spot on, especially as one of us is vegetarian you made sure the specials were catered for our needs. The room was beautiful and so clean and nicely decorated.

For food, we highly recommend the white horse and griffin, we went there and loved it.

Would Recommend: Yes

28th March 2016:

The hotel is very attractive and beautifully decorated inside. Our bedroom (no 1) was spacious and very attractive, with sea view. Sophie and Phill are brilliant and delightful hosts. And the breakfasts are superb, especially the 'specials' (a different one every morning) - don't miss them! We enjoyed our stay immensely and will certainly stay here again on our next visit to Whitby.

Don't miss the RNLI shop and museum - not well advertised but well worth a visit to get an insight into the unbelievably brave heroes of Whitby past. If you take a car to visit the Abbey, make sure that the Abbey is open BEFORE you pay for parking (we didn't!). And be sure to visit the extraordinary St Mary's Church next to the Abbey - really fascinating.

Would Recommend: Yes

28th March 2016:

Phill and Sophie are very welcoming and friendly. The standard of the accommodation is first class and very well presented. The breakfast is superb and there is plenty of choice. There is a lovely cosy lounge for guests which a coffee maker. The Belfry is well situated for walking down into town or along the cliff tops and is very quiet. Some rooms have sea views.

Lovely walk on coast path from Whitby to Robin Hoods Bay and back by bus, took 3 hrs on a lovely dry day.There are a lot of steep steps on second half of walk which would be very slippy on a wet day.Good meal at The Magpie as usual but also tried The Granby on Skinner Street and were pleasantly surprised, lovely home cooked food and plenty of it. Nothing frozen here. Give it a try.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st March 2016:

Hosts are very friendly and attentive; room was clearly recently decorated and was kept exceptionally clean; breakfasts were superb. Would highly recommend this b&b, which is now our default b&b in Whitby.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st March 2016:

We had a lovely stay at The Belfry. The rooms are newly redecorated and refurbished and were spacious and contemporary. The hotel was spotlessly clean and very well presented in a "boutique" style. The hosts Phill and Sophie made us feel very welcome and it really felt like being welcomed into their home. A lovely breakfast cooked by Sophie. We are very happy we have discovered The Belfry and intend to return very soon!

Walk along the beach towards Sandsend looking for fossils

Would Recommend: Yes

21st March 2016:

Wonderful hospitality and the owners are friendly and welcoming. The rooms are lovely and the food is amazing! Every little detail has been thought of and they have even gone the extra mile and put little finishing touches on everything. A wonderful stay and we shall definitely be back.

Make sure to go to the Magpie for dinner and have a drink at Abbey Wharf overlooking the harbour

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd February 2016:

Phil and Sophie greeted us warmly and were very friendly, attentive and helpful. Our family room was immaculately clean, very spacious and warm with a quality tea/coffee making tray (real milk always available) and toiletries. Breakfasts were plentiful, varied and beautifully cooked and presented to a high standard. Even though the weather wasn't up to much, it made all the difference coming back to a warm homely place after walking around in the the cold for hours. The whole house was clean, bright and well decorated in a fresh, contemporary style. We'd definitely stay here again. 10 out of 10.

We enjoyed the Ghost walk by Harry Collett, and now want to do the 'In Search of Dracula' walk next time. Great fun.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd February 2016:

Phil and Sophie are just fabulous. It was our second stay at the belfry. We were welcomed as if we were family. Nothing is to much trouble for these guys, the belfry is a beautiful house. So well looked after by these two guys. Their pride in their home shines out of them and we are so glad to be able to share it with them. Have recommended the belfry to our family and friends. Well done Phil and Sophie. Luv Lyn n rod

Loved this place, so cosy and comfortable. The hosts are so welcoming and offer advice for places to eat & visit. The breakfasts are really lovely, something for everyone. We're trying hard to work a visit in to them very soon again!

Magpie whilst busy and quite large was very good fish & chips. Pannet Park hosts the Whitby museum, a must visit museum. Just brilliant. the Cook museum also worth a visit. There is more to the Abby than meets the eye so definitely worth the walk and entrance fee.

Me and my partner spent 2 nights at the Belfry, We were greeted by the friendly owner Phill who was really helpful and offered to carry our bags. The room was clean, well decorated. A huge selection of fancy teas and coffees,fresh milk and bottled water.we were told if we wanted any extras just ask. The bed was very comfy great fluffy pillows we both slept well. we couldnt fault the room.Even had a hairdryer The breakfast was brilliant Sophie cooked a marvelous vegetarian breakfast and what seemed like unlimited toast and tea. The second morning Christian had the special Mexican eggs which he said were delicious. We got a parking permit for outside. Phill gave us some great advice on local places. Over all our trip was brilliant we both said we cant wait to book for next year.

we both loved the Abbey unfortunatly due to the time of year it was closed that didnt stop us having a good time, We had great walks down on the beach and pier. The scenery was stunning got a few great pictures. We were advised to visit Robin Hoods bay which was a great work out through the hilly but pretty streets.Not that you can miss them but loved seeing the seagulls there HUGE and very entertaining.

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd November 2015:

This was without doubt one of the best UK Bed and Breakfast experiences we've had. Phil and Sophie have understood what travellers want; a warm welcome, comfortable bed, good shower, excellent breakfast, modern decor within an elegant Victorian house. A splendid stay.

Check out local walks and excursions into the moors to get the most from the setting.

The Belfry is situated in a good location with the delights of Whitby within a 15 - 20 minutes walk. Our room was large, clean and comfortable with a huge bed and en-suite with a great shower. Breakfast was excellent, well cooked and presented and if you do not fancy a full English breakfast there is a daily special on offer which, on the days we were there, varied from pancakes to scrambled eggs and salmon to waffles. Phill and Sophie were great hosts, welcoming, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Would we recommend The Belfry to other people ? Well if we said that when we go to Whitby again The Belfry will be our first choice for accommodation we think that says it all !

Would Recommend: Yes

21st October 2015:

Phill and Sophie go out of their way to make sure you are well looked after and very friendly also. The Belfry is in a prime position at West Cliff. Very clean and very comfy huge bed!! Also fabulous pillows. Good shower with lots of hot water. Breakfast excellent with specials every day. We will deffinitely be back when visiting Whitby. We had Room 5 which was lovely with sea views.

Estbek house at Sandsend two miles along the road is amazing for a fabulous meal for a special occasion. We also recommend Magpie the award winning fish and chip restaurant, always advisable to book.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th October 2015:

No faults to find. Phill and Sophie are very friendly and hospitable young hosts. The facilities are top class and the breakfasts are well cooked and certainly comprehensive in terms of choices on offer. In particular the bed was warm & comfortable and the shower was very good - two areas where I find guest houses can fall down. Wi-fi was also good.

If you're in town for any of the many events which take place in the Pavilion and Pavilion Theatre you can't get much closer for a short totter back to your digs. Aside from that, West Cliff is the place to be located in Whitby for beach, superb views, shops, pubs, cafes and all the things we like to do on holiday.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th October 2015:

From start to finish, our stay at the Belfry Whitby with Phill and Sophie couldn't have been better. This couple are naturals at being innkeepers and they have a perfect spot to offer visitors. The inn is within walking distance of the town centre and the Abbey. Sophie suggested the very restaurant / food that we'd been craving. Our room was immaculate and very comfortable. Everything was sparkling and efficient. Breakfast was delicious--with homemade pancakes in addition to the usual English breakfast. Delightful place.

Kam Ti Thai Restaurant in the--believe it or not--Whitby Train Station. Surprisingly elegant! Excellent food.

4th October 2015:

Lovely room, spotlessly clean, and very welcoming and helpful hosts. Only a couple of minutes away from the sea and the whale bone arch.

The Fisherman's Wife is well worth a visit for fish and chips, with lovely views over the bay.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th October 2015:

Phill and Sophie deserve enormous credit for the way they run The Belfry. Nothing is too much trouble and they make a big effort to make your stay perfect. Breakfast is superb which sometimes include specials such as eggs Benedict. A Parking permit for your stay is included which is good as parking in Whitby can be frustrating at times. We are happy to recommend The Belfry.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th October 2015:

A real "home from home" place to stay. Phil and Sophie are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is as good as any 5-star hotel, as are the comfortable Kingsize bed, and roomy shower. Digital TV with all channels and Internet access available. The only thing to note for other guests is that this would not be suitable for anyone with mobility limitations. There are steep stairs to reach guest bedrooms. In room 2, the toilet seat is low - as most modern ones are ! You will need to ask for a parking permit from the owners - we had no problem finding a space nearby, but this may not be the case in Summer months.

Lots of excellent eateries and shops in Whitby. A thriving town; always something happening. We visited Nunnington Hall (NT) and were astonished by the amazing Carlisle Collection of dolls house rooms, and art exhibition. Sandsend is also just a stone's throw away, with a clean beach and dogs allowed to play after the end of September.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st October 2015:

Very pleasant couple run the Belfry. Excellent poached eggs. Daily special breakfast offered which is a change.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st October 2015:

Fantastic location, lovely staff/owners, great breakfasts, beautiful building. Two tiny niggles...curtains in Room 5 need hanging properly on curtain rings, and please watch marks on wall behind beds, otherwise a perfect room with a lovely sea view!!! Oh and check the fan in the bathroom, the condensation might be problematic in winter!! We WILL be back...are you open in January?? Kind regards - Jane Howells from Catcliffe on the Water!!!!

Walk to Sandsend via beach/footpath (3.5 miles) at low tide, back by road/footpath or bus. 2 Lovely beachside cafes and cute shops across the bridge.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th September 2015:

Phill and Sophie looked after us so well. The Kingsize bedroom and adjacent bathroom (sole use only)were spotlessly clean.Bed very comfortable and a lovely sea-view. Plenty of tea/coffee/hot chocolate and biscuits available in the room. Nice touch of a small bottle of fresh milk on the 1st day!Very good breakfast to start the day with plenty of tea/coffee and toast.The full English was wonderful.Note this room is lovely but is at the top of the building so is not suitable for everyone if they cannot manage many stairs. We loved it and wouldn't hesitate to go back if we visit Whitby again

We ate at a small Italian restaurant called Moutreys whilst we were there.We both had the minced steak burger one from the special board. They were both very good and tasty and plenty of it.The menu has so much more. Would go back to try more from the menu. Loved Goathland,small village with shops, tea rooms and a pub. Beautiful scenery for a walk and the railway station part of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. Staithes worth a visit. Charming small bay with old cottages.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd September 2015:

Warm welcome.free parking.Our room 5 was excellent,wonderful attention to detail,very quiet with seaview.Our bed was very comfortable with lovely pillows.Everywhere was spotless,diningroom well set out with good choices especially the specials such as pancakes.Phill and Sophie were really helpful.gave us lots of advice on where to visit.This place was a true "find".a little gem.Can`t wait to come back.

Phil & Sophie were the perfect hosts. They were warm and friendly, and by the time we left they seemed like friends that we had known for years. The breakfasts were excellent. We would highly recommend The Belfry, and will stay there again if we return to Whitby.

Places we would recommend :- Quayside - Excellent fish & chips, but they do push you to get out as soon as you've eaten. Trenchers - Busy restaurant serving very good food. Fish & chips seemed to have more crispy batter than Quayside, but salads etc excellent. Abbey Wharf - Excelent steak. Bagdale House Hotel - A bit more of a quieter atmosphere, ideal for a more romantic occasion. All of these restaurants had very efficient & friendly staff.

Would Recommend: Yes

15th September 2015:

Lovely, modern and comfortable accomodation with a very high standard of cleanliness. Great view from the room we had. The bed was enormous and extremely comfortable. The only reason we were able to get out of it in the mornings was to go down to the best breakfasts we have ever had. Phil & Sophie were very welcoming and friendly. We really do not have anything bad to say at all.

Fish & chips in Whitby is a must! We went to the Fisherman's Wife which was recommended by Phil and we had a delicious dinner whilst enjoying great sea views. Lots of great places to eat a wide variety of foods. And you can then walk it all off by climbing the 199 steps up to the Abbey!

Would Recommend: Yes

12th September 2015:

We have stayed in several different Guest houses on our trip and The Belfry far exceeded all of them. Phil and Sophie were both lovely and welcoming and all the fine details along with the super comfy bed, spotless accommodation and superb breakfast made this stay our highlight. Many thanks...forget the b and bs that think the seaview can command a higher price without the effort or professionalism of The Belfry!

Would Recommend: Yes

Fully appreciate the welcome, service and overall operation of our stay. The food provided again was excellent, as I always love a typical english, but to have a special each day is also a lovely treat which was much enjoyed by my partner.

Excellent B&B! Made to feel very welcome by friendly, helpful owners Phil & Sophie. Stayed in the family room which is spacious and modern. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and the breakfasts were lovely. Great location with an extremely useful parking permit!

Had a nice meal at Harry's lounge. Explore some of the surrounding streets as there are a few nice shops and cafes around there too.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th August 2015:

I very enjoyable stay, Phil and Sophie were very helpful and pleasant, and made the stay really enjoyable. A lovely breakfast in the morning with very clean rooms which were an excellent size. The location is very good as it is on the West Cliff and not far from the Captain cook Monument (Whale Bones), which gives a lovely view of Whitby and the harbour. Would definitely recommend a stay.

Magpie Café, Trenches are two very good fish and chip restaurants which are worth visiting. A walk down to the beach and along the front to Sandsend is pleasant walk. The 199 steps and the Abbey is a must, along with visiting some of the local shops across the bridge.

A beautiful Victorian building. Our stay was brilliant. The room was spotlessly clean, comfortable, with everything we could have needed. We were made to feel so welcome. Breakfast was excellent with lots of variety. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Superb b&b. Phil collected our bags when we arrived and showed us our room, very good family room with tea and coffee facilities available. Breakfast in the morning was lovely with an option of a special. Would 100% return to this b&b. Well done Phil and Sophie keep up the good work.

The Belfry is a fabulous place to stay in Whitby. Situated within walking distance of the harbour and amenities. Phill and Sophie,a young couple doing a fabulous job are marvellous hosts, extremely friendly, welcoming and more than happy to offer advice to travellers on places to visit or eat. The accommodation is of a high, exceptionally clean and comfortable standard. Breakfast is delicious, made with quality produce with specials offered throughout the week. I highly recommend this establishment.

Good location, nice room, lovely couple running it, the attention to detail and small additions help to make you feel so welcome

Avoid Quayside F&C restaurant. Overpriced ordinary fish n chips just because it won an award

Would Recommend: Yes

Stayed at the Belfry with my family in a family room number 6 .Our stay was to celebrate my daughters birthday in Whitby. Hosts Phil and Sophie gave our family a warm welcome and my family agreed that this was one of the best places we have stayed. Lovely enjoyable stay,the Belfry was immaculate throughout and hosts were lovely and helpfull and the breakfast didn't dissapoint either . Definatly will return !

The yellow open top bus sets of from whale bones not far from Belfry every half hour it takes you all around Whitby even upto abbey .Its £5 but you can get on off whenever you like and can be used as many times as you like , kids under 5 travel free . The various boat excursions are just £2.50 again young children go free and the 20 minute boat ride is a great trip well worth money .

Fresh clean place, whilst still maintaining a character feel. Excellent friendly hosts, couldn't have been more helpful. Comfortable beds, nice bedding. Fully stocked hospitality tray, toiletries nicer than other establishments we have been in. All these lovely little things add up. Breakfasts were excellent, and loved that you had a different daily breakfast special. Would definately recommend without a doubt.

If staying in summer season book at least a day before at most restaurants, as they get full. The Abbey wharf, just over the bridge seemed to have a few spare tables for walk in customers though. Less than 15 minutes drive away is Falling Foss tea gardens - highly recommend this enchanting place. Car park is there, but there is a lovely walk through the woods,and you will come across 'The Hermitage' a cave carved out of rock. On a previous visit we also enjoyed Rydale Folk Museum, with houses set up for different periods.

Would Recommend: Yes

Our first trip to Whitby and so pleased we stayed here! Phil has not been in Whitby as long as some, but he clearly has plenty of experience in the trade & it showed! He was helpful right from the start, including the vegetarian option at breakfast, and providing fresh milk in our room. He offered recommendations on where to eat and advice on a local walk we had planned. The room was clean and tidy, and the bed was comfortable. Cannot recommend this b & b enough. Look forward to meeting Sophie on our next visit and going for that pint! Gary & Trish

Coastal walk to Robin Hood Bay was great. Humble Pie & mash (cafe) was tasty & reasonably priced.

Would Recommend: Yes

Stayed here for a two night break recently and have to say fantastic stay, very clean & tidy, room was lovely & comfortable. Breakfast really good and the owners very warm & friendly. Great place to stay & only a short walk to town & beaches.

Trenchers fish restaurant in the town is a great place for a meal, might not be the cheapest but fab meal. Also a trip on the North Yorkshire moors railway is a fab day out, lovely steam train service from Whitby.

Would Recommend: Yes

Phil is a Master at the art of hospitality!! Loved the little touches around the places like bottles of milk and individual pots of ketchup at breakfast. Others could learn a lot from you two. Curtains in bedroom did not quite shut (not a problem for us but some may not like it). Maybe offer a non slip mat for inside shower for those that want it (again not a problem for us but some older guests may prefer it).

Ask Phil as he is a mine of information. Did not enjoy Quayside or Long Kings restaurants. Did enjoy The Fisherman's Wife restaurant.

Would Recommend: Yes
