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.

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

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.

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.

A reasonably priced guest house which is very convenient for the beach walk and the town centre. Very good choices at breakfast. Parking is, maybe inevitably, a trial!

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

Overall stay was amazing, expectations exceeded. Despite the many Guest Houses, Riviera far proclaims the rest! Highly recommend people consider staying here. Close range to the beach and harbour, your feet get plenty of exercise. 25,700 steps on our first day there.

More than 199 steps 😁

Excellent choice for a last minute visit to Whitby. Stunning views overlooking the sea and a perfect location for exploring everything Whitby has to offer. Super clean and modern room and lovely full English breakfast. Nothing at all to complain about. If you can mange the 199 steps you will be fine here 😁
Even the bathroom had a wonderful view

Stay March 6th 2023 (2 night stay)

Great location across from the beach with sea view. Near to the town. A very clean and comfortable stay. Owners were there if needed, but never intrusive. Staff friendly. We can recommend the Garden Room restaurant at Sneaton Castle and the Trenchers Fish restaurant in Whitby. Both served very good food.

My review

Well looked after, the bedroom had a nice character, however the bathroom en suite has had some sort of a make over but not to the best standard.

Amazing location

Fabulous location. Huge amount to see and do. Disappointed with the bedroom view and bathroom. Bath panel broken in three places. Lino had tears in it. Lots of stairs worth asking which floor you will be on especially if you have mobility problems. Hosts friendly.
