On the West Cliffs with a lovely view of the sea and the harbour from our third floor room (the stairs were tiring after a long day!). Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice. For £3 the guest house can provide a parking card valid for four days in Whitby. We had no trouble parking in the street around the corner.

Property was excellent! Great location, clean, 3 pounds for parking. My only drawback, 5th floor with no lift. Very slow wifi. Otherwise, very good!

It would to have been given better bread with our breakfast. I know it is available in Whitby! Otherwise we loved our view from the top of the house and enjoyed the excitement of the regatta weekend … especially the fair as it came in to town. Lovely friendly people in Whitby.

Great service from Riviera. I am especially appreciative of them accommodating my very late arrival and check in. The breakfast was also excellent - I highly recommend the smoked kipper if you want something new and different.

No lift ,so being on the third floor climbing all the stairs was not for anyone with disabilities or with walking difficulties (As my partner had ) . Fire escape procedure was not what i would expected from a five storey building .

Whitby with that sea view.

Fabulous sea front location. Friendly staff. Payable permit parking close by. No lift, so lots of stairs to take into consideration. Overall, good cleanliness, practical room space with all the standard goodies supplied. Excellent breakfast selection also included.

A nice place to spend the night

Clean and friendly, a lot of stairs to access the rooms, but it is an option to have your bags carried up. Attic room had extremely low beam on one side of the double bed, which made room really not suitable for two adults staying in it. Lovely breakfast, with great views and easy access to the beach

Sea view room

I was informed about being on the 4th floor in advance of my stay, which was not a problem. However, the stairway is steep and has many doors to pass through. The room itself is compromised for height by being in the eaves but not a problem for a solo traveller. Would be a different review if I had been offered this"luxury" double room as a couple

Perfect, cosy and wonderful

It was amazing, the service and the personal touch was perfect. Really enjoyed the breakfast it’s such a good idea ordering it the night before to save wasting food. All questions were answered straight away and in a friendly way. The room was clean and it had a great selection of tea and coffee with biscuits too. For my first time to Whitby, it was the best place to stay.

Great place to stay

Great B n B in a fab position just near the whale bone arch. We had top floor sea view room, nice n quiet (not good for less mobile) the lady owner had e mailed beforehand to check we were ok with stairs(we are). Shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom, with heated towel rail. Plenty of plug sockets to go at. Tcmf and biscuits in the room, along with wine glasses and tumblers. Hairdryer in the drawer. Plenty of wardrobe space , ironing board. Really comfy bed. Top floor hallway area was a bit chilly...as was the room (14)...but it does say in the welcome book to turn it on and heat up to your own needs...which we did... big electric wall heater which heats up fast and gets the room really cosy. Nice hot fast shower. Lovely brekky (pre order from welcome book and leave it downstairs in the box the night before). Lovely ladies working the brekky room both days. Free parking outside (only valid mid oct-mid march...due to seasonal months)...in high season...follow parking permit instructions.

A great customer service from the confirmation of the booking to leaving. All staff are friendly and helpful, the room was clean and spacious. I think it was the little touches such as Zed coming round at breakfast time checking in with everyone that they are ok.
