We stopped coming here a few years ago on our regular trips to Whitby as it was really going downhill. The pub was grotty and dirty, the alcohol was poor quality and expensive, and the clientele left alot to be desired. Now that Liz has taken over all I can say is what a difference. She has really put her... More

We have just enjoyed a lovely long weekend at The Dolphin. The hotel was great; our room was large and comfortable, with a sea view, Liz and her staff were very welcoming and helpful - nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was delicious and their scrambled egg with smoked salmon for breakfast was utterly yummy. The Dolphin... More

The location is so central for everything, you are right in the heart of the town rather up on the top. The hotel has been finished to... More

Just had a 2 course Sunday lunch at the dolphin hotel! The food was incredible and so tasty! The portion sizes were amazing and the taste of the food divine! Vegetables still had bite to them which was great nothing mushy and unflavoured! The atmosphere was lovely and the hotel was very busy with people eating! The mature gentleman serving... More

Had a nice pork pie with mushy peas and a Thatcher gold cider all for around 5. 50. My husband had a chicken baguette and chunky chips. Lovely fire and great view of the Quayside. Close to the captain cook museum. Recommended for a good value lunch in Whitby .
