Just got back from a stay at the Riftswood in Whitby, I don' often stay in b&b's as I am quite a fussy customer but I felt nothing but comfortable here and Pete and Paula go above an beyond to make sure their guests are well looked after and have everything they need, including being kind enough to offer us...

I stayed at Riftswood B&B July 2012- and it was brilliant. Even though our bedroom had a WC in a separate room, it didn't compromise the stay. The rooms were clean and amiable- their pictures on their website do not do them justice. The hosts were all you could hope for, and more. Breakfast was one of the best I've... More

We are regular vistors to Whitby and would always stay in hotels but won't be from herein.

Never taken the time to write a review... More

What a great place to stay. Decided to try Riftswood after reading all the reviews and I was not disappointed. Normally I would prefer to stay in a hotel but after staying at Riftswood I am now a B & B convert. Good location easy to find and parking right outside the door. Only a short walk in to town....

Great breakfasts...so much choice and so much care and attention. Wonderful knowledge of the surrounding area and their passion for Whitby shone through....infectuous. We were a little worried about the... More
