Why Whitby?

With its golden stretches of sand and colourful beach huts, Whitby is packed with British seaside charm. As more travellers in England are opting for cheaper ‘staycations’ and holidays closer to home, Whitby’s classic appeal and fantastic coastline make it the ideal destination for a traditional – and affordable – holiday by the sea. Think amusement arcades, a pier, sandcastles and donkey rides – and good old fashioned family fun!

The winding medieval streets and the brooding abbey overlooking the town also add an air of mystery and romance to this quaint seaside resort. And Whitby bed and breakfasts and holidays have just as much to offer couples looking for a quiet weekend away as families on a summer beach break.

Whitby Bed and Breakfasts

Just like Whitby itself, bed and breakfasts are the perfect holiday solution as, with global finances in a difficult position, they offer both value for money and an interesting place to stay. A ‘memorable’ or ‘special’ holiday doesn’t have to mean ‘expensive’, and Whitby bed and breakfasts come with the kind of personal service and little extras which you can find at a 5 star hotel, but with an affordable price tag.

Sandpiper Guest House, for example, is set in a Victorian house that’s bursting with history and character. Each room has been beautifully decorated to reflect the building’s original features and includes little luxuries like fine linen and bone china tea cups that will make you feel thoroughly spoiled. Peter and Manetta pride themselves on their spotless rooms and excellent service – and guests won’t be disappointed at this great Whitby bed and breakfast. Nothing is too much trouble for your lovely hosts as they welcome you into their home and breakfast – with its local bacon, kippers and free-range eggs – is a real treat. Double rooms, however, start at just £65, with families rooms from £95 per night.

The elegant High Tor Guest House in the heart of Whitby, meanwhile, is perfect for a romantic weekend away. There are great views over the Old Town from the windows – if you can tear yourself away from the lovely Victorian interior! Set in a charming town house dating back to the 1860s, the B&B has been restored to showcase elegant original features like fireplaces and ceiling moldings. The rooms also have excellent modern facilities, including Flatscreen TVs and helpful extras such as a cork screw and wine glasses for a cosy evening in. The double rooms start at a very affordable £66 per night.
