We had a brilliant time at the Harbour View - the hostess was friendly and helpful and the building is beautiful with amazing views. The stairs are challenging (!) but the general standard of decor, etc, was great. Breakfast is provided, but do-it-yourself, which caused us some apprehension at first but actually made breakfast-time very relaxed and the landlady went... more

I did not read any of the reviews until I returned from a long weekend in Whitby, and I have to say I was surprised by the bad reviews this place had! We had a lovely time at the guesthouse, granted the stairs are narrow and steep but it is an old building- its called character people! We stayed in... more

I have just returned from a 3 night stay here in the lovely Room 4, which overlooked the harbour. The room was spotless, the step-in shower great... Nicola, the owner, is lovely - very friendly, couldn't do enough. Both myself & my boyfriend found the breakfast arrabgeements very relaxing - there is lots of choice, including a great variety of... more

We went to Whitby to walk the last leg of the Coast to Coast with my sister, we were not able to stay where we wanted and so picked a B&B based on looks, this place looks lovely, a typical fishermans cottage. The rooms are clean although very small and are not suitable if you have a lot of luggage... more

In booking this location, we were told there was only one room left. It's listed on the site that not all rooms have a built in shower, so after confirming this last room had one, we booked up, with a deposit of 100 pounds. We arrived at 1pm and the door was locked with the owner nowhere to be found.... more

I booked this B&B for myself and my girl for 3 nights as it seemed to look nice on their web site and we were wanting to book a hotel on the old side of Whitby town so this looked ideal. The cost was £65 per night and we had to pay £100 upfront via cheque 6 weeks before the... more

We booked to stay in August then we read the reviews . It made us feel uneasy to what we would find when we arrived for our stay and the owner was requesting a deposit.To put our minds at rest we decided to go to Whitby to see for ourselves. We just turned up unexpectedly the lady was there and... more

My boyfriend and I only read the bad reviews for Harbour View a couple of days before we were due to stay and had no time to find anywhere else. We therefore spent a few days worrying about what to expect. We need not have worried. The reception we recieved was warm and freindly, we were shown to our room... more

Don't book this B&B unless you are happy to wait outside on arrival (possibly for a long time depending on the landlady's whereabouts at the time) whilst you telephone the number given on the door (assuming you have a mobile phone!!) If you don't you would have to find a phone box. When you do gain access you will be... more
