We booked at the last minute and travelled up on the coldest day of the year so far. We were welcomed by Ged and Linda, who are the perfect hosts. The huge old house is beautifully decorated and our warm room was also spacious, with beautiful stripped floorboards, a sofa and dining table along with the very comfortable bed and... more

This was my first visit to Whitby for the Gothic weekend and I was not disappointed by the accommodation, several of my friends had stayed here before and had booked in advance, the room was outstanding and was still quite spacious with four of us in there.
