Advantages: lovely see views, nice staff and great food Disadvantages: nothing
I really enjoyed my stay at the Seacliffe Hotel in Whitby.
I Arrived there for a 4 night stay, late on Saturday night , I have a lovely warm welcome from the receptionist, Throughout the holiday the staff were very kind and made me feel right at home!
The room I was situated in was right at the top of the hotel and I had a lovely sea view, The room I was in was small but not too small, and the bed was very cosy! I got the best nights sleep in years!
There was tons of tea and coffee avaliable, which has always being a bit of a problem when I've stayed at hotels as they havent given me enough.
I was very pleased with the size of the bath, and the fact the water was always lovely and warm, I had a bath every night after my long walks sight seeing round whitby, it was great to soothe the aches and pains!
The breakfeast avaiable ...
Advantages: Spectacular setting, great northern seaside tradition Disadvantages: Tricky to get round in parts, far too easy to stuff your face!
Over the years, I've spent many a glorious family weekend sampling the delights of the traditional fishing port of Whitby, a genuine treasure of the North Yorkshire coastline, tantalisingly within reach of Newcastle, York and Scarborough. It's a town rich in maritime tradition, popular with young and old, steeped in history and reeking of premium freshly caught fish and chips.
Fittingly in the very place where the famous Dublin born 19th century novelist, Bram Stoker found the inspiration, amongst the haunting cliff-top Abbey ruins, to write his masterpiece of Gothic intrigue Dracula, the local gemstone is Whitby Jet ; dark, opulent and magical in every aspect.
All dressed in black for a day at the seaside
And believe me, if like us you happen upon Gothic weekend, if you go down to the beach that day you're sure of a big ...

Advantages: Lots of history, plenty to see and do Disadvantages: Some areas are not suitable for disabled visitors
Whitby is a small fishing town in the north east of England and in my opinion it is one of the most beautiful picturesque seaside locations in this part of England. The town itself has a real old worldly feel to it with its bustling narrow streets and each week thousands of visitors descend on the town to soak up its charm. At the heart of Whitby is its harbour and without this harbour there is no doubt that Whitby would not be the wonderful place that we find today.
The town grew up along the two opposite banks of the River Esk, which is spanned by a swing bridge that was constructed in 1908. It is however known that a bridge has spanned this river since medieval times, whilst the town itself predates that by a further thousand years or more. Whitby's most famous landmark, its abbey was built in the year 657AD.
Today, Whitby ...
