We have had the pleasure of staying at Hillcrest house before. Fantastic location, literally 5 minutes to the sea front. Laura and Greig honestly couldn't make you more welcome, if there was anything at all that we needed they would ensure you got it.we will 100% stay there again. Must point out that breakfast is served in a hamper outside your room, fantastic.

It's an absolute must to stay at Hillcrest House.

If your not good on your pins you will need to use other means. Lovely people run this gem we will certainly come again.

Would Recommend: Yes

27th May 2025:

Lovely stay, was greeted by Laura, helped and informed us, short walk into town, a sound sleep to wake up to a beautiful breakfast. Car park on site and a thoroughly positive stay, and left with a smile on our faces. Thank you Greg and Laura.

Nothing negative, don’t worry.

17th May 2025:

The room was lovely and very well maintained and clean. The breakfast was spot on and Creig and Laura where great, nothing was to much trouble.

The guest house is only a short walk to the town centre. There are plenty of places to eat at and plenty of activities. This is the best guest house that we have ever stayed at and we will definately be back.

Would Recommend: Yes

11th May 2025:

It is our third stay at Hillcrest, the second with present friendly and helpful owners Greig and Laura, and we have found the standard of accommodation and service to be very good. In addition, the Hillcrest has a large car park for residents, you don't have to park on the road or pay for car parking. For us it is an ideal location, away from the hustle and bustle of Whitby centre but not too far to walk. Bus bus stops are very close by which means you can catch a bus into Town down the hill or further afield, Robin Hoods Bay, Scarborough and so on.

Although the walk into Whitby is not too far (10 minutes) you will have to deal with a reasonably steep hill. If mobility is an issue for you, take the bus, they run at least every 30 mins, to the centre. No separate dining room, but we liked the fact that the Breakfast was supplied to the room, you can take your time, and the Breakfast options available

Would Recommend: Yes

6th May 2025:

Great hotel. Clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed it the breakfast delivered to our door by the lovely owners. Would definitely stay here again.

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd May 2025:

This is our third stays with Hillcrest and it was delightful again! The rooms are always clean and spacious (we have stayed in standard and deluxe). They have good size en-suite, flat screen tv and coffee machines and very comfy beds, but by far the best thing is the breakfast which gets delivered to your room in a little crate, you get to choose from a wide selection and it tastes amazing! We throughly enjoyed our stay and will book again!

The room was very clean, spacious, comfy and very welcoming. Breakfast was brought to your door after your selection from hot food, cereal, toast, croissants and juices. Very intimate and delicious. There was ample car parking space. All about Hillcrest was excellent and the hosts made us most welcome. Nine out of ten. Try Hillcrest - you will not be disappointed.

We was greeted by Greig upon our arrival and shown to our room after an explanation of how the key fob worked. After Laura & Greig had found out about our belated wedding anniversary, we came back to our room to find a complimentary chilled bottle of Prosecco, which was a totally unexpected but very welcome touch. The pre ordered breakfast arrived right on time, and was very delicious and filling. We will definitely be returning again in the future. Paul & Jo 👌👍

The hotel and staff were all just amazing. Very welcoming and made sure we all had everything we needed. The Whitby room was just stunning, plenty of space, very clean and bright. Breakfast in the room was just really perfect touch for me with my little boy because it meant we didn’t have to rush to get ready to go have breakfast it was just there in our room and we could eat at our own pace plus the choice in what you can have is just again amazing. Being able to park there too is a bonus. Facilities just perfect. Would very highly recommend. And I will definitely be returning. Thank you so much.

Good welcome by Laura. Parking for all quests attached to the B&B. Breakfast delivered to the room included cooked hot bacon, egg and sausages on a roll, plus serial, pastry, toast, juice, etc. Decent size tv in the room. Tea and coffee machine in room. Great good size shower/bathroom. Big comfortable double bed. Very friendly hosts Laura and Greg. Table and two chairs in the room. Ten minute walk down the hill into the centre of Whitby.

Top quality accomodation. Good selection of shops in Whitby especially over the bridge. Although not a tremendous amount to see we found the hop on hop off bus quite good with excellent commentary and only 8 pound for pensioners. Wear good walking footwear bearing in mind there are cobbled streets and you will be travelling back up the hill (plenty of taxis around if you have had a full day). Trenchers and Magpie Cafe were both excellent. Be prepared for a short wait in a queue for an available table.

Great location, 10 minute walk into town. Spacious and comfortable room clean and characterful. Initially, not sure if breakfast served to room would work but found we preferred this. Good choices of options and a hot choice included made a very good start to the day. Fridge outside in the hall with fresh milk was welcomed too. Hosts very welcoming and gave good recommendations for food and attractions. Definitely recommend and would return.

Frequent Bus to Staithes or Runswick Bay and walk back on cliffs.

Would Recommend: Yes

Great location with parking which was very useful. The bedroom was a really good size with facilities to make tea and coffee. A huge TV was welcome in the evenings as we are not night owls. Lovely shower and spotlessly clean.

The walk into town was down a steep hill. Breakfast was served in our room which I found a bit isolating but the standard was high. The owners were very friendly and helpful.

A thoroughly relaxing and enjoyable stay. Laura and Greig are excellent hosts. The room was clean, warm and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, with a great variety of choice. Finally, once in the shower you don’t want to get out; it’s that good. Highly recommended and would definitely stay again.

Spacious room and en-suite. Free parking. Easy access to town centre and buses. I’ve left the best bits til last. The hosts were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was brought to the room and was very generous with plenty of choices for all tastes and if it wasn’t on the list you only had to ask. Enjoyable and very comfortable stay. Highly recommended

Whitby has a lot of places to eat but booking in high season is recommended. Buses stop a few yards down from Hillcrest and are fairly frequent to Robin Hoods bay and Scarborough. A ten minute walk will bring you to either Town centre or the cliff walks and beach. Pannett Park is pretty. From the town centre cross the river and the abbey is a long climb up steps, but the view is worth the effort.

Lovely quaint hotel situated within walking distance from the city centre . The hosts could not do enough to make our stay a special experience of Whitby. Breakfast delivered to your room with a menu supplied was a first for us and topped of our stay ! The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and bright. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this charming hotel .

A taxi to the centre of Whitby is reasonably priced at £5 . The parking in Whitby can be difficult to find .

Classical styled rooms, totally in keeping with the age of the building. Extremely comfortable room. The only mistake we made was ordered too much breakfast on the first stay….full to exploding point! This is a lovely place to stay , and the breakfast delivered to your door is plentiful with an excellent choice. Throughly enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended.

For those who have not visited Whitby before, the whole area involves walking up or down a hill. Having said that, the premises is with easy walking distance from the centre, and is not a difficult walk for moderately healthy people.

We enjoyed our stay very much. We received an unsolicited upgraded room and when I explained the trip was to celebrate our 47th wedding anniversary so this made it extra special, she returned with an ice bucket, bottle of prosecco and 2x glasses. Laura and her staff really went above and beyond and far exceeded that extra mile!. The room was spotless, and the unexpected Lavassa coffee maker with fresh milk and any amount of pods took luxury to a whole new level. The breakfast box was also a brilliant idea. You complete your request the night before and put in the tray at the entrance. What an experience! Hot sandwich choice eg bacon, sausage, bacon and egg, with vegetarian options, all in local fresh buns and locally sourced products. Cereals, croissants, pastries, toast, spreads, fresh juice the choice was amazing. I thoroughly recommend the home made overnight oats, delicious and filling. We will definitely be returning and I heartily recommend Hillcrest to everybody you will not be disappointed. It really was a home from home. Laura and her staff cannot be praised highly enough for their hard work.

Leave room for your breakfast, it's belly busting. There is off street free parking too!

Breakfast was very good! We appreciated the contact with you. Ten minutes of walking to the centre of the town. All we needed was available. We loved our staying in your B&B. The only thing we will so differently is booking directly to you instead of booking by Booking.com.

Great location within easy (although steep) walking distance of where you would want to be in Whitby. Free off road parking is a bonus. The room was spacious with an excellent en suite bathroom and had all the facilities you would be looking for. The breakfast basket where you pre-ordered from a very good menu was brought to your room at the requested time. Only there for a couple of nights but would have been very happy to stay longer.

Would Recommend: Yes

8th September 2023:

Nice room. Comfortable bed. Slept like a log! Very good plentiful breakfast delivered to our room ( we really liked this idea). Friendly, helpful but unobtrusive hosts. Great en-suite with shower and bath. Altogether very nice.

Quite a trek up the hill after an evening out. Nothing the hosts can do about that and unless you have health or mobility problems shouldn’t be an issue. In fact good for you!

Would Recommend: Yes

7th September 2023:

Hillcrest is in a superb location just ten minutes walk down a steep hill into Whitby town. Our room was very spacious, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Shower was powerful and lovely toiletries provided as well. The breakfast hamper was very well presented with plenty of choice which set us up for the day. Free parking on site was great and a bonus. Laura and Greig are a lovely couple and we would not hesitate to return and recommend.

Great location only ten minutes down the hill but if you have mobility issues you may struggle to walk back up from town, however there is a bus goes from bottom and stops virtually outside Hillcrest only one stop up from town.

Would Recommend: Yes

Greig & Laura were very welcoming and friendly. We had a large comfortable room with good facilities. A Large choice for breakfast, ordered the night before and delivered to your room in a hamper. All cereals and preserves in individual kilner jars, eco friendly. Fresh fruit with the breakfast a nice bonus. It was our wedding anniversary whilst staying and they noticed our cards in the room. A bottle of prosecco on ice was left in our room as a pleasant surprise. We will definitely stay here again.

Close to centre of Whitby and a short steep on return to Hillcrest.

Beautiful property. Great choice of breakfast. Highly recommended

A walk from the harbour. You can park your car & walk into town if you don’t mind hills. However, Whitby has lots of hills so bear in mind if you have mobility issues. Great bus service if needed to town & Robin Hood Bay. Also, very closed to Cinder track if you want to walk/cycle to Robin Hood Bay. 6 miles each way.

Would Recommend: Yes

This was a return visit for us. We loved it last time and still do. We feel really at home and comfortable at Hillcrest. As the heading says on the TripAdvisor review that we did straight away when we got home; " We wouldn't stay anywhere else in Whitby". The breakfast boxes is a brilliant, innovative idea. It's great to sit at a breakfast table by the window (still in our dressing gowns) and enjoy breakfast in our room. The location is perfect. Just far enough out of the town centre to be away from the wall to wall crowds that Whitby inevitably attracts and a bus stop right outside to get to other towns if you want to. (We of a certain age are armed with bus passes anyway, so it is particularly convenient). We always arrive in Whitby on the A171 so Hillcrest is so easy to get to and your car parking means we can park up and leave the car until we check out. Yes, there is bit of a hill to negotiate when we walk back up from town but hey, I am 74 and Linda is 78 and we don't find it a problem at all, in fact it gets easier with practice. The fact is, any direction out of the town centre involves an incline upwards (not counting travel by boat of course).

Some of the eating establishments are very popular indeed and during the day it can sometimes be a struggle to find a table free. However, the mad crowds seem to disappear in the evenings as if by magic and it can seem as if you have the town to yourself. There is a nice little place in Sanders Yard, opposite the market place on Church Street and we were able to book a table for six there in the afternoon.
