Been to Bats time and time again and love every visit. Unique and very friendly. Kev is a star. We don't see Tish as often as we like but they are a lovely couple who have time for everyone.
The house is a huge Victorian affair decorated to the rafters with Goth memorabilia. Bats, coffins, wax dummys, spiders, devil ducks in the bathrooms and spooky pictures adorn every nook and cranny. A lot of thought has gone into this hotel and it is a must for anyone, Goth or Norm. Visit it once and you'll look forward to the next. Comfortable rooms, clean bathrooms and the best breakfast in town, whether it's a Meaty or a Veggie (Kev and Tish are both vegetarian but cater for all tastes). The breakfast room, along with soothing Goth and alternative music is also packed with Dracula themed and Gothic tendencies.
Each room has it's own theme (Bat, Solar, Lunar and the Green Room) and are all very comfortable.
Do yourself a favour and if you are due to visit Whitby then make your first call to Bats and Broomsticks to get a reservation. Be patient though, this is a very popular hotel.
Highly recommended indeed.
