10/10 Excellent
"We had the family room for 3 adults. Room 211. Lovely room extra large king size bed, separate room with bunk beds. Really comfy. View over car park but didn't matter as we were out all day. The hotel has been refurbished since we last went so very modern in the bar / restaurant now. Views of the sea immediately as you go out the front of the hotel. 5 minute walk to the beach. You can use the hotel car park, at the rear of the hotel, which is £8 for 24 hours, from 11am on the day you arrive to 11am the next day. The reception give you a voucher which you use to scan into the pay machine when you leave. Helpful to know as hard to find places to park when busy. Love Whitby, we will be back 🙂"
