“This place strikes me as a solid pick, particularly if you're after a bit more space and independence than the usual hotel offers. It's close enough to amble into Whitby, and that free parking is a real find. From what I gather, it's the kind of spot where the hosts go the extra mile, making it feel more like staying with friends than at a hotel.”

ABSOLUTELY super clean and quiet!

comfortable space sound sleep dark room hot water
The room provided a comfortable space that REALLY helped me relax! The blinds kept the room DARK, and I slept soundly. I loved that I could open the window without any disturbances, except for a sweet owl. The water was nice AND hot!
I will say, the attic room had cupboards that seemed to hold random pillows. Duvets just thrown in and i thought it was weird!
