“Amazing little guesthouse with wonderful friendly, kind owners. Comfy stay. Thanks Puala, Peter :).”
This B&B in Whitby, northeast Yorkshire, was amazing. Paula and Peter welcomed us warmly. Paula picked us up from the train station in her car late at night and didn’t ask for petrol money. The accommodation had two double en‑suite rooms upstairs, with a third available when needed. A full English breakfast was included in the room price: cereals, toast with butter and jam, fried eggs, sausage, bacon, hash browns, juice, tea, and coffee. The upstairs rooms were accessed by two sets of carpeted steps with handrails; the floor was carpeted. Each side of the large double bed had a small table. The bed came with sheets, pillows, and a comfy duvet. The bathroom had a good shower with strong pressure and hot water, a sink with hand soap, a small bin, a toilet with plenty of paper, shower gel, and shampoo in bottles on the wall. A bath mat hung over the shower door. Two hand towels and two bath towels were included. Tea, coffee, sugar, and milk were free, and large cookies were replenished daily, along with small chocolate balls. A small kettle sat on a table near the door. A TV was mounted on the wall. Free parking was available in front of the guesthouse, and a 10‑15 minute walk led to the nearest bus stop for the Hop‑on, Hop‑off bus, the famous Whalebone arch, and the promenade. Whitby is small enough to walk around if you’re reasonably fit. A key entered the guesthouse, a second key entered the room. The room had a chest of drawers, a wardrobe, and one or two comfy chairs. Plug sockets and power strips were near or under the double bed. The hosts were friendly, chatty, and answered questions, embodying typical Northeast characters. I would definitely stay again. Several take‑away food options were near the guesthouse, and many attractions in Whitby were worth visiting. A four‑night stay was good; I could have stayed longer. The only negatives were hooks on the bathroom and room doors that were very high, the power strips under the bed were hard to reach, there was no lift to the bedroom floor, the guesthouse might not always be available because it has only two rooms, and it was a bit far from the town centre.
