Was able to park easily outside, great communication from Emma via text on check in, which was very informative and made it easy, lovely room with plenty of tea and coffee available, along with complementary milk and couple of bottles of water, whole place was clean and spotless. It's a short walk into town, our favourite was walking down by the beach which is just a minute from the property. Overall lovely stay will definitely book again in future :)

Lovely place to stay

The Whalebone Arch was clean and comfortable, with seaviews from some rooms ,the only contact with the owners was by text, it was informative and the instructions easy to follow.Thank you Emma . The hotel is situated just outside of Whitby town centre , its walkable, but there are buses if needed, or taxis which are approximately £5 each way . We enjoyed our stay there . Car parking is a good plus too

10/10 Exceptional

I liked that a lot of thought was put into the additions to the room and helpful folder . I was worried that I'd be woke up by seagulls or other guests but definitely no thin walls here . Nice to be able to walk to see the beach in less than a minute and Long King restaurant if you're hungry . We found being close to a bus stop very handy too . A great place to stay .

8/10 Very good

Nice place very clean & convenient for town centre . Large bathroom , only slight criticism was the small shower & the position of the shower holder . The size of the bathroom would have leant itself for a larger shower
