I booked this hotel at the last minute during Goth Weekend so I could see the Dracula play at Whitby Abbey. A few of the online reviews made it seem that you would be made to feel an outsider if you were not part of the HF Holiday group but this was not the case. OK - I do have... More

Just had a wekend at Larpool Hall. It's an ideal venue for a group walking holiday as it caters for wet boots, packed lunches, evening activities eg table tennis, mixed tables for dining. Our room was at the front and had lovely autumnal views. Comfy bed, excellent shower, tea/coffee (and flask making) facilities, tv. The food was good and plentiful... More

If you like walking, and I mean REALLY like walking, then an HF Holiday at Whitby at Larpool Hall is a fantastic option. This is a 'hard core' walking holiday for families, many of whom have been before. We were there in June 2010.

Having just returned from a Family Holiday Walking Week at HF Holidays' Whitby Country House, Larpool Hall, we can both (my daughters aged 8) highly recommend both the hotel and the holiday.

Nice and clean, hunt for staff to be able to book in though. If you dont like sitting with other people at the breakfast table its not for you. Better for large groups than couples.

I have just spent a week at Larpool Hall as part of a walking group of about 35 people. To describe it as an overpriced Youth Hostel and give it the lowest rating possible as someone has done is in my opinion extremely disingenuous. The hotel is orientated towards groups of walkers and supplies organised travel and routes for different... More
