A real gem of a place. Warm welcome, brilliant food, and a room with stunning views. The full English breakfast alone is worth the trip.

Verified Guest

Couldn't have asked for a better base to explore Whitby and the moors. Dawn and the team made us feel completely at home. Proper Yorkshire hospitality.

Verified Guest

The food was excellent — locally sourced and freshly made. Log fire, valley views, friendly locals. Exactly what a country inn should be.
