Guest Reviews

• Vaughn (10/5): - Excellent breakfast; lots of choice. Friendly host.
• Kev (10/5): - Cosy friendly guest house. Clean and comfortable. Would stay again.
• John (2/5): - Didnt appreciate being placed on the very top floor, at least 50 steep stairs. Would have been nice to get a call in advance before allocating the rooms. We booked well in advance. Breakfast nice, host friendly, bed rock hard.
• Lynne (8/5): - Lovely host, clean room and comfortable bed. Really good value. Location was superb with easy access to the town and the open top bus could be caught at the end of the road. Parking permit was really appreciated If I was going to be critical I would add a loo brush and a refillable soap dispenser but these are nice to haves.
• Walter J A (6/5): - Overall our stay was good we felt the establishment was in need of modernising. eg. internet availability
• Andy (8/5): - Property was extremely dated but nice to stay at nonetheless and the host very helpful
• Denise (8/5): - Was pretty hard 2 find. Same number on street. Room was very clean, lovely soft towels, but the room was very small and hot. Not even a electric fan to plug in. The breakfast was tasty and fresh made to order
• Heather (10/5): - Tasmin is an excellent host. Very helpful.
• Paul (10/5): Great stay - I was really pleased with the stay Tamsin was lovely and nothing was too much effort, I only have one criticism the shower was too small and there was mould in the roof but everything else was spot on
• Grant (10/5): - Lovely guesthouse. Very friendly and helpful host. Breakfast delicious! Would happily recommend to others.
• Christine (8/5): - Tamzin was a very good host and provided an excellent breakfast. The only thing i did not like was climbing of the stairs we was on the middle floor.
• Angela (10/5): - The room was on the second floor but was just about manageable for me with a back condition. The room was clean, a bit of updating would be good as it was quite dated. The room faced the main road and was busy with traffic and also very noisy with the amount of seagulls that gathered but that is normal in a seaside town. Tamsin the owner was lovely and very helpful and accommodating. The English breakfast was lovely and included in the price. I would stay there again but preferably choose a room on the first floor next time.
• Moyra (8/5): - Good breakfast. Tamsin is a good and helpful host.
• Mark (10/5): Great Place - Clean, welcoming, great breakfast, good location, hot water was excellent and lots of tea and coffee in the room.
• Ann (6/5): - Reasonably priced. Breakfast consisted of good quality meats and plenty of it. Parking is on the street with a permit
• Mary (10/5): - Tamzin is a warm and friendly host and the rooms are spotless. The breakfast was great too :) Thank you we will be back xx
• Timothy (10/5): - Quiet location just far enough from the centre of town but still with a view of the sea and the abbey ! Only a few minutes walk to the rail/bus station and the pavillion. Wonderful personal service from the experienced host, with a good quality breakfast.
• Tony (10/5): - Tamsin was so friendly and incredibly helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. I couldn't fault the place.
• Bryan (10/5): Beaches b&b Whitby - Enjoyable stay at the beaches again, hope to be back again soon.
• Bernadette (6/5): - The hotel wad very dated and basic, extremely uncomfortable bed, we had a sea view which we looked forward to but didn't realise we we're in the attic for this so had nearly 50 steps to our room which wasn't easy! On check out was told we could not pay bay card so had to go out looking for a cash machine this would have been useful to know at booking. On a positive the hosg was very friendly and helpful and ghr breakfast was lovely 😃
• Andy (10/5): - Really nice stay, no frills B & B and really good value. Host is very friendly and helpful!

• lucinda (10/5): - The guest house is in a perfect spot, right near the centre of Whitby, but far enough not to hear any noise. There was free parking, which was handy. The owner, Tasmin was extremely friendly and very helpful. The breakfas was cooked to order, and was lovely. I would definately return, and would highly recommend a stay there
• Caroline (10/5): - We received a warm welcome from the owner on arrival and although it was too busy for us to be able to park outside I was able to park in a local car park that wasn’t a great distance away. The stay was lovely, big room, lovely breakfast with super quality food. It’s an old building so quite obviously there will be the scars of that if you looked about but for the price what do you expect? Basically everything you need for comfort is there. We attended for the steam punk weekend which I would highly rate. I have never been to this before but enjoyed the experience and the hotel was ideally placed for that. Thank you Tamsin for an enjoyable stay.

• Niki (10/5): - Lovely little b&b.. spotlessly clean throughout the building, welcoming, close to the centre, the lady who runs it is absolutely lovely, friendly, helpful, chatty, and the breakfast was beautiful. Can’t recommend enough, we would most definitely stay here again. Thank you Tamsin for a really lovely weekend.
• John (10/5): - Very friendly and welcoming, lovely and clean. The bedroom was comfortable with tea and coffee making facilities and TV, comfy bed and en suite was very clean too. Slept extremely soundly. Breakfast was fantastic, best quality bacon, lovely sausage, couldn’t fault it! For the price it was very reasonable and only a 10-minute walk from the station. Parking permit/disc was arranged by the owner so having free parking was a bonus. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you very much.

The owner is wonderful she is so friendly and gave us really good information about local events which were on and how to get to places. The guest house is in the centre of Whitby and 5 mins from the beach so you don't need to use the car. The Expedia information said you had to take your own towels and sheets but this is wrong they are provided. We would definitely recommend this property.
• N (10/5): great service - Excellant stay for the money close to the pavillion and town great Breakfast and friendly and Helpful owner be there next year THANKS Nick Edwards.

• Bernadette (10/5): - I enjoyed staying at The Beaches. Very friendly, helpful proprietress. Generous, good quality breakfast and tea and coffee making facilities. Easy walking distances to places of interest in Whitby. :-)
• Martin (6/5): - Unfortunately, my son and I didn't get to experience our long weekend away as I had car issues about half way into the journey. We had to be brought back by the recovery service. The whole ordeal lasted about 11 hours including waiting and journey times, not to mention the uneventful trip costing me £753.78 including the £150 hotel booking and £50 fuel. I did let the hotel know, but I am not sure if they managed to offer the accommodation to someone else at short notice. They did say that given the circunstances, they may offer us a room in the future as I already paid for it, but never got to enjoy it. I have yet to speak with them to confirm if this still an option for me. I am not sure where I stand with getting my money back if their offer is no longer available.
• Anthony (10/5): Has to be one of the best places to stay in Whitby - Very competitively priced accommodation in convenient location on West Cliff. Establishment very well maintained and run by Tamsin, with excellent breakfast included.
• Deborah (10/5): - Lovely room and very comfortable, spotlessly clean,lovely breakfast and friendly service.
• Lisa (10/5): - Even on first arrival the host was great, very welcoming and full of knowledge about the area and had so many helpful ideas and suggestions. The room was perfect for what we wanted and had tea and coffee facilities in the room. We had breakfast included and it was brilliant as well; full english which kept us going for a lot of the day. Very close to the centre (less than 5 minutes walk to a pub) and would absolutely come back here when we return to Whitby.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice hotel - It’s a nice hotel in Whitby. Very affordable.
• Brian (10/5): week day break - Great host, full of local knowledge, The park and ride bus passes by , 10 min walk into town
• Ellie (10/5): - I came to Whitby for an amazing Steampunk weekend. I enjoyed all aspects of my stay at the Beaches, from the warm welcome from Tamsin the owner who wonderful breakfasts and she was very accommodating with dietary requirements. Tamsin was knowledgeable on all things Whitby and made my stay easy. My room was at the top ,I think was the best view in Whitby, the Abbey. I will definitely return. Thanks Tamsin
• Keith (8/5): - It was close to all ammenities and the owner was very nice and helpful
