    I had a delightful stay at The Whalebone Arch! My ground floor room featured elegant decor and was impeccably clean. I particularly appreciated the mini fridge stocked with water and milk, which added a nice personal touch to my stay.

    We had a sweet as stay with an awesome sea view, but the noise from upstairs was a bit annoying at times. it was a comfy spot to chill.

    clean room
    extra biscuits
    additional pillows

    easy access to top floor, quiet area, spotlessly clean room

    Could really use additional biscuits for each morning!!! An extra couple of pillows wouldn’t hurt either!!! It’s the small touches that elevate an experience, and sometimes those details seem overlooked.

    complimentary drinks
    limited biscuit supply
    hilly walk back

    Had a great time on our three-night getaway exploring Whitby. The room was spacious and clean, with a nice mini fridge stocked with complimentary drinks that was perfect for late-night snacks. I particularly enjoyed the lovely walks to the beach and the town center, which was just a short stroll away, even with some hills to navigate. The added bonus was the parking permit that made things super easy for our trip.

    I loved my stay in the spacious Double Room, Second Floor! The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I really appreciated the mini fridge stocked with fresh milk and complimentary drinks. The room was spotless and offered a stunning view of the Abbey, making it a perfect retreat after a day of exploring.

    Our stay was truly enjoyable, with a spacious double room and clean comfiness that made for a relaxing experience. The scenic coastal walks were a hit. my family loved wandering through the charming streets of Whitby and soaking in the local culture.

    great location

    the whalebone arch was a delight! our large double room was spotless and super comfy. loved the little touches like the mini fridge with drinks and snacks. it's a short stroll down those narrow streets to the center, and we really enjoyed the indoor swimming pool at the nearby sports centre.

    Lovely stay in Whitby!

    We had a fab time here! The location was great for wandering into town. The room was super spacious and spotlessly clean. Loved having a mini fridge with milk and drinks on hand. Only thing was the heating took a bit to kick in, but it didn’t spoil the good vibes. Definitely recommend!

    The Whalebone Arch offered a lovely ground floor room with excellent amenities, including a mini fridge stocked with complimentary drinks. The bathroom was spacious, and the room itself was impeccably clean and well-decorated. the owners provided a parking permit that allowed us to enjoy the town without worrying about parking fees, which was a significant convenience.

    There was no breakfast option available.
