For my husband's 60th birthday, we stayed in a room with a great view of the harbour. The breakfast was fantastic with an amazing view over the harbor, although the food quality was just average. The location was very centrally located, near the bridge on the abbey side, making it convenient to explore Whitby. The dining experience, with good quality ingredients and beautiful views, added to our enjoyment of the stay.
