The Bridge Inn at Ruswarp serves lovely meals.

Would Recommend: Yes

9th June 2025:

Best place to stay in Whitby.Linda is warm and welcoming, going the extra mile to make sure you're happy. Our room was clean and the facilities excellent. I have a dairy allergy but it was no trouble for Linda to get me a spread for my morning toast. Breakfast was excellent using local produce. Saying highly recommend doesn't cut it, stay and see for yourself just how good this place is.

The Vault was an excellent restaurant. The Fisherman's wife best for fish and chips with a view.

Would Recommend: Yes

Linda gave us a lovely welcome. Her attention to detail gave us everything we could have wanted. A very comfortable room and sofa in the dining room available too. Wonderful cooked breakfasts using local produce from the butcher down the road.EV charger available was an added bonus.

A good base for walking into Whitby - about 15/20 minutes- avoiding the need to find a place to park! Whitby Abbey, Whitby Jet shops, cobbled Streets, excellent art gallery and museum in Pannetts Park and of course the sea and sand! Lots of places to eat including local fish and chips.

Would Recommend: Yes

8th May 2025:

Lovely place to stay. Beautifully decorated. Nice comfortable beds. Everything is spotless. Linda is very accommodating. Nice extra touches, like fresh fruit and bottles of water to help yourself to. Lots of information of places to walk and visit

Had a couple of good meals at local pubs. Hare and hounds in Hawkster. Didn't look thrilling from the outside, but inside was nice. Excellent food and lovely staff. Tried Trenches restaurant for fish and chips. Everyone else had been to The magpie, but this was definitely better. Lovely surroundings, quick service Top class food

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd May 2025:

We had a wonderful stay. Linda makes you very welcome and happily answers any questions about Whitby and surrounding areas. The house has lots of original features very well decorated and spotless. Our room which was the twin bedded was very comfortable and spacious with en suite. Breakfast was available at a time to suit beautifully cooked and good produce. Parking for our car was on their drive. We would definitely recommend this B&B.

We loved Royal Fisheries for freshly cooked fish & chips. Mary’s at Sandsend for sandwiches. Clara at West Cliff in Whitby for coffee, ice cream. Robin Hoods Bay but go early morning before crowds.

Would Recommend: Yes

29th April 2025:

We ate at Moutrays Italian in Whitby which we'd recommend in part as they have many veggie options.

Would Recommend: Yes

24th March 2025:

Nothing but positive things to say ! Started with our arrival at the property 30-60 minutes before our agreed time, but Linda was superb, allowing us to take our room & even getting Dave to move his van to allow us to park on front of the house. The room was exceptionally clean & comfortable & the following morning, we enjoyed a lovely, leisurely breakfast, before our departure. Linda is a fabulous landlady, devoting a lot of time to her guests. Whilst we didn't need a lot of local knowledge, she was able to guide us through the local estate to cut some time off the journey into Whitby. We live in York, so don't often stay in Whitby overnight, but if we do, The Coal Merchant's House will be our preferred choice !

Ask Linda about the "short cut " to Whitby centre via The Cinder Track

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd March 2025:

Again a short but lovely stay. Breakfast was perfect again. Realised I paid more than the last time, but the room was bigger and shower worked better. I know everything gets more expensive. Just had a short but lovely break. You work perfection Julie and lovely with people.

Not really I always like to do my own thing, walking, Whitby and relax.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th November 2024:

The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. They had thought of lots of little details which made it a great place to come back to after a long day, such as access to milk, water and fruit at any time in the dining room and a full range of herbal teas as well. This is a comfortable place to stay especially if you enjoy Whitby but want to have a restful sleep after a hectic and crowded day!

Abbey Wharf may not have a great supply of food for vegetarians, my family were really pleased with the meat and fish options they had. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Goathland is a good place to visit nearby if you are keen walkers who want to get onto the moors easily but also want to be close to tea shops!

Would Recommend: Yes

11th November 2024:

Spotless and high standard room, great to find a twin room option for Mum and me. Friendly host, super breakfast with accommodation for dietary needs and easy to find. Enjoyed the walk in and out of the town and nice to have off road parking. Will definitely be back.

Wonderful B&B perfectly situated just a nice walk away from the town centre, Linda is an absolutely fantastic host who is very friendly and easy to chat with, superbly decorated and spotlessly clean rooms and a good choice for breakfast.

Take the short walk into town and enjoy all Whitby has to offer, definitely visit Sherlocks coffee shop with its quirky style and gorgeous food.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd July 2024:

A great base out of the hustle and bustle of Whitby but only 5 minutes away. Home from home and always a lovely welcome from Linda who keeps a beautiful and clean home. We have been coming a number of years now and a year wouldn’t be the same without a visit to Ruswarp.

The bistro at Sneaton Castle serves locally sourced food and has never disappointed. The garden centre in Ruswarp is set in beautiful grounds next to the river , great plants and a lovely cafe. Waterside restaurant at Chainbridge Ruswarp a new venue again in idyllic surroundings worth a visit. A country walk from Ruswarp into Whitby . Whitby 5 minutes away by car.

Bridge Inn at Ruswarp and the Hart at Sandsend both good for food.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th April 2024:

Linda is a superb host, graciously providing breakfast much earlier than usual to fit in with my need to commute for work. Breakfast itself was fantastic, excellent local bacon and sausages, a great selection of fresh fruit, cereals, toast fresh coffee etc. I particularly appreciated the fire too! The house is great to look at, the room very comfortable and the shower powerful and hot! Absolutely nothing not to like.

It’s very easy to walk into Ruswarp and visit the Bridge pub, good food and selection of beers, well situated by the river Esk. Whitby is also only 15 minutes walk and is an absolutely fascinating town to explore. Moutrey’s an Italian restaurant is highly recommended, fantastic food! The Magpie is presumably well documented but nevertheless the fish and the batter was the best I’ve ever had!

Would Recommend: Yes

15th April 2024:

Linda was an excellent host - very accommodating in giving us an earlier breakfast as we needed to leave early. Room was comfortable and spotless, very comfortable bed, slept superbly!

6th April 2024:

Lovely room and incredibly comfy bed, really good shower as well and all the facilities we needed. Breakfast was fabulous. Being vegetarians we didn't sample the meaty offerings, but I'm sure they would be high quality like everything else available. Lovely owner who gave us lots of local info because we are planning to move to the area. We would recommend The Coal Merchant's House very highly.

Cosa Nostra Italian restaurant in Whitby, but you need to book in advance.

Would Recommend: Yes

Linda is the perfect host. Very welcoming and knowledgeable about local restaurants and pubs.

The Indian restaurant Passage to India is great. Quirky Den, Middle Earth Tavern, the waiting Room. All good beers.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st April 2024:

The Coal Merchant’s House is a hidden gem of a B&B. When we arrived we were met with a lovely warm welcome. The bedroom was very spacious, immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. The bed was exceptionally comfortable and the shower was great. There was a great choice for breakfast and a lot of tasty local produce. We would love to stay here again.

Local pub in the village serves a great selection of food but if you walk it is quite a steep hill coming back to the B&B . Whitby is about a mile away walking but well worth it and you can get taxi’s quite easily.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st April 2024:

Definitely recommend the Coal Merchant's House to friends and family. Excellent location, just a short walk into town. Room was lovely, excellent host. Very high standard of cleanliness. We will definitely book again. Great value for money as everything to a very high standard

Such a lovely B&B, the quality of linen, facilities and service were super. Delighted to have accommodation with EV charging facilities too.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd March 2024:

This is one of the loveliest b&b's I have ever been to. Linda was friendly and welcoming and cooked a fabulous full English breakfast. The room was spotless, as was the rest of the house. Fresh milk, water and fruit were available at all times from the breakfast room. Each morning there was a roaring fire to greet you when you came down for breakfast. I would absolutely recommend this b&b for a holiday in Whitby. I will definitely be back.

Ask Linda about the area - she is extremely knowledgeable.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th February 2024:

Our stay at The Coal Merchant was just for the 1 night and we wish it had been for longer. Such a lovely warm and welcoming place to stay. Our room was so comfortable and beautifully decorated as was the whole of the house. In the room there is a kettle with Yorkshire tea (the best tea ever) coffee, hot chocolate and the best biscuits. Outside the rooms there is access to clean cups and extra tea and coffee, which I thought was a great touch. Fresh milk and bottled water was in a fridge in the breakfast room which again another great touch. The bathroom was well thought out with shampoo and conditioner and even had a cloth to take off your make up! The icing on the cake for us was breakfast - open fire (we stayed in February) so was so warming and a lovely setting for breakfast. The choice of breakfast is so diverse. You can eat as light as you like with a choice of cereals/ fruit and yoghurts / granola / porridge and a full English with produce from the local butcher. I cannot wait to come back to the Coal Merchant and would have loved to hv booked in March but not available 🥲. I have to say also the position of The Coal House is great too. Perfect for access into Whitby or Sands end in a taxi for just around £6 or if driving you have a base to explore the whole of the local coastline. Linda is the most perfect host and we just want to say again. Thank you 🙏

White horse and griffin - fab food and open fire Sherlocks coffee shop - fab environment we had breakfast and coffee Goathland - on the way home to Leeds. Fab coffee and gift shop

Linda the host was very welcoming and friendly plus we were able to check in early which was great as we were only there for one night. Accommodation was very tastefully decorated and had everything you could need for your stay. Bonus was the lovely breakfast served in front of a real fire in the dining room !! In a quieter area of Whitby, would highly recommend

Lots to do and see in Whitby but busy on a weekend, would suggest booking if wanting to eat out in a local restaurant

Fantastic stay, room ammachlate Host really friendly, highly recommend this B&B

Would Recommend: Yes

31st December 2023:

Linda was a fabulous host, full of great information. She looked after our dietary requirements and served up a lovely, substantial breakfast. The room was lovely and bright facing over the moors. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of storage. Bathroom was spotless with a great powerful shower. Parking at the front of the property on the driveway is an additional bonus which was why we chose this B&B as opposed to Whitby town centre where parking can be difficult.

The position of the property is great as there's at least 4 routes into Whitby centre. We walked all of them, via Ruswarp village and along by the railway line which leads to the harbour. There was also a route towards the west Cliffe side of the town which enabled us to reach the beach and we walked to Sandsend. Be careful of the tide. There was also another route that Linda told us about which is the quickest and it's past the shell garage at the roundabout and past a stone wall and then go down the steps and follow the path between the houses. This leads down to the cinder path and you are right in the town. We visited the abbey which is a must and there's the Whitby brewery next door. We walked back from Sandsend via the road and it lead us to the pavillion and that's where captain cook's statue can be found next to the whalebone arch. We ate at the Angel Fisheries, the Humble pie shop and had drinks in the Arch and Abbey, Elsinor, Middle Earth tavern, the black swan and the pier. There's also a captain cook museum which was closed at this time of year and loads of boat trips and ghost walks when they are open.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th September 2023:

Very friendly, very accommodating nothing was too much trouble. Clean and tidy accommodation, no problem parking.

A little off the beaten track, pub, shop and restaurant within walking distance but not a lot of choice. This will suit lots of people but if you want variety and lots of choice expect to ether walk or drive. Taxi is the best option only a short drive into main town. That’s what we would done when we go back next time.

Would Recommend: Yes

18th September 2023:

A very comfortable and enjoyable stay at The Coal Merchant House. A very friendly welcome and an excellent breakfast. I will definitely be returning

Would Recommend: Yes

4th September 2023:

Linda is the most delightful host. Couldn't be more helpful. Everything super excellent in this location. Quiet, spotless, most interesting historic venue apart from all the surrounding Whitby history. Excellent breakfast selection with locally made produce. Highly recommended.

The Magpie Restaurant. Fish and Chips a speciality but other excellent choice. Sneaton Castle a must for a very special historic venue and remarkable meal. The Captain Cook Memorial Museum is a must for maritime exploration history. Spectular views of the harbour. Difficult to overstate the atmosphere of the harbour. For art and history lovers The Pannett Art Gallery and Whitby Museums are 'musts' The Soper Collection and the other collections are very special indeed and inspirational, The Soper Collection particularly so in terms of art, wildlife, history and conservation.

Would Recommend: Yes

We enjoyed a Steam Train ride with North Yorkshire Moors Railway (Whitby,Station)

Would Recommend: Yes

15th August 2023:

We always have a great welcome by Linda and are looked after to a high standard. The rooms are very pleasant and comfortable. The breakfasts are very good and filling and there is a great choice to cater for everyone whatever their tastes. All in all is a brilliant place to base oneself within striking distance of Whitby and other coastal towns and is also near the beautiful North Yorkshire moors.

A fantastic garden centre, model railway line , boating on the near by river and of course Whitby is 5 minutes away. Try Sneaton Castle restaurant with its fantastic menu , great food. The fish and chip shop/ restaurant in Sleights is worth a visit. Take a trip on the North York moors railway a must for all steam train enthusiasts. The Magpie fish restaurant in Whitby is renowned around the country.

We very much enjoyed our 2 nights at The Coal Merchant’s House. Linda looked after us very well and provided a delicious breakfast each morning. She also provided safe storage for our bicycles as we had cycled up the Cinder Track from Scarborough. Our room was small but very clean and provided us with a base to explore Whitby and the surrounding area.

If you’re keen on cycling, the Cinder Track is a must. It’s a bit rough in places but that’s not a problem for a decent off road bike. Access to the track from our accommodation was very easy. On day 2 we took the bus to Runswick Bay and enjoyed the coastal walk back to Whitby.

A warm welcome throughout our stay (2 nights) and free car parking, very clean, beautifully decorated and homely - felt like we were inside a posh country hotel ) nice size bedroom with all that you need, breakfast was yummy especially bacon and sausage. Little hidden gem. thank you for our lovely stay.

Lots of things to do,199 steps, The Abby or follow the path around to the brewery (tours only Tue/Thur get a drink), find the wire sculptures scattered around,lovely walks, busses seemed to be very frequent to Scarborough and other places,lots of querky streets with shops and places to eat(may need to book in advance, lots of pubs and micro breweries.

We received a very warm welcome from Linda who runs a lovely guest house situated on the outskirts of Whitby. The town is about a mile away but easily accessible by a nice pathway located a few minutes walk from the guest house. The room was very clean, comfortable and tastefully presented as was the en-suite. The breakfast selection, all good quality ingredients, was delicious. We would have no hesitation in staying here again and would recommend to friends and family. The reason I gave 4 for facilities is due to the smaller double bed size in that particular room although it was very comfortable with good quality bedding. There are other rooms. Thank you Linda.

Trenchers is our favourite fish and chip restaurant and Bothams tea room, the one situated closer to Captain Cook’s statue, brings a little nostalgia from bygone days.

Linda looked after our dietary requirements. Lovely food, own toaster for gluten free bread, so important to avoid cross contamination - could eat with confidence. Even gf biscuits in room! Other gf-ers will know how important this all is.

We walked into Whitby, walked all day and still walked back. Where it is situated shouldn't put anyone off. Its worth it for the peace and quiet.

Our third stay at The Coal Merchants house and have always been more than satisfied on all fronts. Linda and Dave' are very welcoming and will do everything to make your stay exceptional. The breakfast is first class and there is plenty of it. Brian & Grace.

The Hart Inn at Sandsend is a must for an excellent hearty meal and all the fish and chip restaurants seem to be of a high standard. Robin Hoods Bay, and other coastal villages are worth a visit, not forgetting the moors.

Greeted by the lovely host on arrival. The room was clean and comfortable. Loved having fresh milk for our coffees and access to bottles of water; really nice touch. The breakfast was amazing, with locally sourced produced. We would definitely stay again.

We ate in the evening at The Trenchers, near the train station. They only take bookings for parties of 7 or more; so there is a queue waiting to get in most of the time. We went at 6.30 pm and waited 10 mins.although it was busy , we never felt like we being rushed. The food and service were superb. Taxi fare into town was £6/£7

A warm welcome from Linda the proprietor. Very friendly & helpful lady. Property was lovely with a comfortable spotlessly clean room & most importantly a comfy bed! Slept very well. Breakfasts were lovely in front of a roaring coal fire. We would most definitely stay here when in the area as you can park up & walk into Whitby in 25 minutes. So it’s an ideal location for this lovely place.

Whitby for great independent shops; the beach, coastal views, The Abbey, Whitby Brewery, The Jet Museum, Fortunes Kippers! Great pubs, cafes, great Fish & Chips!

Friendly and attentive service. Lovely house, close to Whitby. Very comfortable, clean and warm. The breakfast consists of locally sourced ingredients which are such good quality and there is plenty of extra tea, coffee and bottled water should you require. The biscuits are gorgeous too! There is secure parking on site.

Whitby is a short walk away where there are a plethora of lovely pubs and restaurants. We particularly enjoyed The Magpie, where the seafood is beautiful. There are so many quaint and characterful places to explore in Whitby. It’s a wonderful place and this is an ideal place to stay if you want to have a mile’s walk down, via the beach. A taxi back is roughly £6.

Would Recommend: Yes

Just had a lovely three night stay. Linda was a wonderful host and made you feel very welcome. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. Everything about our stay was excellent. Would not hesitate to stay here again, and will highly recommend to anyone wishing to stay in the area.

It was a real pleasure to meet our hostess, Linda, who provides such a high level of care for her guests. We were met every morning with a cheerful greeting and an outstanding breakfast. All rooms are spotlessly clean, comfortable and well-appointed.

I can't recommend this guest house more highly. By foot it is about 20 minutes walk into town on the shortest route. However, there is a longer walk into town that runs alongside the river and railway which is really pleasant if the weather is good. This walk takes about 1 hour but you often get the bonus of seeing steam trains running on the track.

Would Recommend: Yes

21st September 2022:

Linda made us very welcome. Our room was very clean the bed extremely comfortable, tea and coffee making facilities were very nice with Bothams biscuits! En-suite was well equipped lovely soft towels and easy to use shower. Breakfast was delicious, a great choice of cereals, fruit and 'help yourself' fresh coffee, served in a lovely cosy dining room. On-site parking was a big advantage. We would certainly love to come again.

A walk into Whitby was easy and pleasant. We took the town tour bus, tickets available from information centre near the Co-Op. We were able to get off and on the bus at different places. We visited the Abbey which was well worth the visit. Our Fish and Chip meal was at Trenchers restaurant which we thoroughly recommend.

Would Recommend: Yes

Linda was very helpful and could not do enough for us. The food was very good. Everything was better than most hotels we have stayed in lately. Good base to explore the area.

Good short cut to town but take a torch if coming back in the dark. Went to Robin Hoods Bay but parked in the next village Fylingthorpe a short walk away. Had a good meal at the Fylingdales Inn.

The Coal Merchants house was perfect accommodation for us. Room as described, with an excellent supply and choice of drinks, biscuits, bottled water, fresh milk in fridge and fruit.Also a good selection of toiletries. Breakfast was locally sourced and beautifully cooked. We appreciated the tips on places to visit, the quiet beach that we wouldn’t have found! Suggestions of places to go for evening meals were very good, we really enjoyed our stay.

The steps up to the Abbey are well worth climbing, the view is amazing. Skinningrove, recommended to us as a quiet sandy beach was perfect for a walk. We enjoyed wandering around Robin Hoods Bay, picturesque, with cobbled streets and alleyways.Filey Is a lovely area with nice sandy beach and a nearby town centre. We had an evening meal at The Bridge and The Stables both very good.

The Coal Merchant's House is a lovely place to stay. Our room was lovely and clean, including the bathroom. There was a great choice for breakfast. The house is in a quiet area but within walking distance to the centre of Whitby. Off-street parking.

There is a lot to do/visit in Whitby. The beach is lovely with many restaurants and quirky shops. 199 steps, Whitby Abbey and boat rides are a must. We went to the Magpie cafe which was great.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th July 2022:

Very welcoming, with everything fully explained.Linda was friendly and informative about the area and places to see. The bedroom was of a good size and well presented. Breakfast with full English was plentiful and tasty

Park and ride facility was very close and well worth trying to avoid expensive parking in town. Surprised that alot of eating places did not open Monday and Tuesday. Robin Hood Bay and Staithes well worth a visit but very hilly and therefore tiring if you are a certain age.All in all avery enjoyable holiday.

This was our second stay and we can't recommend the Coal Merchant's House highly enough. Linda is the perfect host (friendly, helpful but not intrusive) and there are lots of little extra touches (water & milk in the fridge, fruit, cookies) to make you feel at home. The breakfast is first rate with great self-service options and a fantastic cooked breakfast with local ingredients.

We liked the walk into Whitby through Ruswarp. Also recommend the Hart Inn at Sandsend.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th June 2022:

A great place in a good location, just a 20 minute walk or a short taxi ride into town. The Coal Merchants house has everything you need, lovely spacious, comfortable room with ample bathroom space and tea, coffee, biscuits and fruit aplenty. Linda is a great host, we chatted for ages and she makes a great breakfast. We will definitely stay at the Coal Merchants house again.

Prebook your restaurants as Whitby gets very busy and if you don’t feel like walking into the town/ seafront a taxi is around £6.

4th April 2022:

The hosts were very friendly and helped to make for a relaxing stay, the breakfast in the morning was fantastic and of very high quality. The room and house was clean, comfortable and very high quality, the bed was very comfortable. Good off road parking and with the house just outside the centre, made for a quiet night.

The house is roughly a mile ( maybe slightly less )from the town centre. The walk is downhill and can be done by an off road footpath. We found the walk easy and quick but you could get a taxi if required. There is a spar shop nearby, but Whitby has everything you would require. The location is in a residential area, so is quiet at night, so a good nights sleep is guaranteed. There are plenty of lively pubs and restaurants.

Would Recommend: Yes

Everything top quality, Linda very friendly and helpful.

Bus into Whitby very convenient, otherwise about half an hour walk, uphill coming back.

23rd March 2022:

Had a super 4 night stay at this wonderful B&B where Linda the host looked after our every need. Our room was lovely, with a good size bedroom and excellent bathroom with bath and shower. Complimentary toiletries were provided as well as as much tea and coffee as you could drink. Breakfast was plentiful with a cooked to order english breakfast, along with fruits, yogurts, cereal and toast as you wish. The B&B is situation approx a 20 min walk in to town and there are various ways to go to change your route each day. I would highly recommend staying here.

Most of the places to eat are in Whitby, and there is something for everyone in the town. There is a pub approx. a 10 min walk away and it's ok. A must see is the Abbey in Whitby and a walk to Robin Hoods bay approx 8 miles away. You can do a loop walk and come back on the Cinder Track, the whole thing from the B&B is 17 miles but is certainly worth it.
