Nice guesthouse with fantastic views on the doorstep,close to the beach and attractions,would use again although probably better not for those who struggle with walking.
My top floor room with dormer window had great views out to sea - the payoff being 73 internal stairs in addition to the dozen from street level! I'd previously stayed at this property so was aware of the stairs and the property owner Emma also messaged me at the time of booking to check that there were no mobility issues.
After a minor issue around check-in times, I was able to quickly settle in and found my room to be clean and comfortable with good quality bedding and a generous refreshments tray. Supplementary heating was available if required but I found the room was toasty thanks to the afternoon sun.
Breakfast choices were made the previous evening and popped into a box in reception. Breakfast service ran smoothly with clear table allocations, a good supply of filter coffee, high quality items in my full English and branded cereals and preserves.
Overall, a pleasant stay and I would certainly stay again.
Excellent choice for a last minute visit to Whitby. Stunning views overlooking the sea and a perfect location for exploring everything Whitby has to offer. Super clean and modern room and lovely full English breakfast. Nothing at all to complain about. If you can mange the 199 steps you will be fine here 😁

Disliked: Cleanliness
Location of guest house was excellent but as for all such properties in this area car parking has to be paid for using discs or cards purchased from the property. The Riviera was OK but not as good as we were expecting based on the historic reviews.
No complaints from me. Fantastic value, amazing view, fantastic location! Will definitely stay again!

A reasonably priced guest house which is very convenient for the beach walk and the town centre. Very good choices at breakfast.
Parking is, maybe inevitably, a trial!
The positives ….. bed was clean bath was clean.
Negatives ….. overall very unclean. Public toilet out of order. Staff unhelpful and rude. We were told breakfast was 9am - 10am arrived at 9:10 am to be told breakfast was finished. When we explained what we had been told at check in the response was “ in the twelve years we have had this hotel we have never said that !!!”
They then said they may be able to rustle us something up ….. it was terrible. Very poor food. Staff banging stuff down on the table obviously unhappy with us.
Coffee was undrinkable. Very dirty breakfast room.
Overall our experience was not good. Would definitely not return.
Facilities not up to a good standard. Cleanliness poor. Shower cubicle unclean with mould and limescale.
Sink not secure and matress like a beanbag. Staff brilliant and breakfast nice.Dining area floor not cleaned as fluff and dust in dame place for 2 days
Very handy for town, my room looked out to see.Friendly staff and excellent breakfast,good choice. Parking was ok,it's disk zone but you can buy permit from them,my four days cost £2 for full stay. Would definitely go again
Such a lovely place, would recommend it very highly. Room was lovely and clean with a spectacular sea view. Breakfast was gorgeous too! We got a parking permit for £2 from the owner, so parking was sorted for the whole of our stay. Will definitely be back. Whitby is an amazing place and here is duch a fantastic location.
