Lovely, spotlessly clean and cosy bedroom and en-suite. Very quiet location, just a nice,easy walk into Whitby, with plenty of space to park. Great breakfasts in a lovely dining room - with all tastes catered for. Nothing was too much trouble for Peter, our host, who was welcoming, friendly and informative. I absolutely loved his home-made marmalade, and on our... more

We found the B&B by looking on their website and it seemed to be nice so we booked in. On arrival,... more

We stayed at Riftswood last weekend as a birthday suprise! As we drove into Whitby and further and further awaw from the coast we were a bit worried but decievingly we were only about 200m from the beach and a ten minute walk along the coast into the busier end of the town, (via the whale bones and the captain... more

My partner and I stayed here for only one night (unfortunately). It was a really lovely place. The room was big, nicely decorated, and clean.
