What a wonderfully run guest house. We stayed in room 14 on the 10th June , with fantastic views of the sea and the Harbour entrance. The room is at the very top of the property , but we were fully prepared for this as we were informed clearly on booking. It is worth the climb for the views. On... More

A very late booking for a bit of peace and quiet and an overnight stay in a place we love, Whitby! A warm welcome from Emma on arrival and a cheery "Hello," from Zed too! Although as a couple, we booked the family room (due to booking late) it does overlook the back and not the seafront. That didn't particularly... More

We love you both Zed and Emma, you are such a warming couple which always makes out stay in Whitby so special. You have been so busy with all the refurbishments you have made over the winter break. It has been a fantastic transformation to your guest house having seeing this take shape over the last two years. As always... More

We love the Riviera, we loved it even before the work was done to the bathrooms and dining rooms. We've been coming for Goth Weekend for a few years now and Zed and Emma are always so friendly and attentive. We first came to the hotel because of the location, it's so close to town and the Spa, yet has... More

I have recently been to the riviera where the reception was warm, water hot and beds as cosy as you could wish for. The young couple running the hotel are full of energy and more than welcome to help with anything, whether it be to add an extra bit of bacon to my breakfast or where to advise to go... More

Stayed there at end of March mainly based on the positive reviews on here, although I'll know not to take too much notice of them in future. Stayed in one of the sea facing rooms, which was a nice view, the décor looked OK and had recently been done although some of the paint looked like a 5 year old... More
