    We stayed here on a short break in Whitby, conveniently located on Argyle Road, and about a twenty…read moreminute walk into the heart of the town centre, along West Cliff with its spectacular view of the sea. No parking as such, by chevroned areas all along the road, where you can park and we were given a permit for free parking by the Guest House for the duration of our stay. A warm greeting awaited us as we arrived, as did a nice cup of tea, great, after a long journey through pretty torrential rain. Our room on the first floor, was dual aspect making the most of the sea view, and flooded with natural light. Lots of space in the room, king sized bed, power shower, tea and coffee making facilities - fresh milk also on request, a nice touch. The whole room had a calm relaxed feel, perfect when you are only away for a few days. The wall mounted TV was a little small for the size of the room, but that was a minor quibble. Breakfast is served from 8.30-9.30am, in a separate dining room to the front of the guest house, again making use of the fantastic natural light. A good range of muesli, fruit, cereals etc, with a choice of fruit juice. Hot breakfast, you could a have the regulation Full English, or derivations of, such as scrambled/poached eggs on toast. The accompanying sauces came with a small pair of scissors, a nice touch if you couldn't open the sauce packets. Also a choice of brown/white toast, with a choice of jam/marmalades that strangely lacked any flavour. This was also evident with the toast and aspects of the cooked breakfast, odd really. Normally bacon and sausages would have more flavour than this, the scrambled eggs were good though. Would we go back? Absolutely, a lovely place to stay, convenient location, but with a strangely uninspiring breakfast.

    This was the first guest house we've stayed in for many years and we were with friends who booked…read moreit for all four of us. We've no idea of the cost of the overnight stay. We would rate it five star, but if you are disabled or lacking stamina it's very likely not for you. We were on the third (out of four) floors and there's steep steps outside just to reach the front door as well as very steep steps and several doors to manage inside. The room was cosy and we got a great nights sleep. The view of the sea was wonderful and the little motion sensor bathroom light that came on when we walked in was genius. Parking isn't easy to find nearby and like so much of our experience of England, parking is a costly business. It's easy to believe that they don't want motorists around England, even disabled drivers get no concessions, it's not the country I remember - it used to be kind, decent and people had pride in themselves and their country. That's long gone. We had to order our breakfast by filling out a form the night before and posting the completed form in a box at reception with brekky between 8 and 9am with check out at 10am. The brekky included kippers and smoked salmon. I can't see ourselves returning to this place as we prefer hotels.

    The sea views from our window were absolutely stunning, the location was in easy walking distance…read moreto most everything in Whitby, the breakfasts were absolutely outstanding, and the owners, Zed and Emma, were terrific. This was an incredible experience.
