What a lovely little find in the heart of Whitby...
We managed to book in for one nights stay in this lovely quirky little place.The last remaining room available was a doulble room with a shared bathroom which was fine by us. The only problem we had was that within the shared bathroom there wasn't a shower but a bath with attached shower head to which the water just trickled out making it difficult to get a full wash. Also at night on returning to our room the courtyard and stairway were poorly lit. We have since pointed this out to the owner.

Our room its self was really lovely "shabby chic" in style and very clean and comfortable. We loved the little attention to detail... like the fresh flowers and tea and biscuits. We also had a great view of the little courtyard area. Which was very inviting and a lovely little place to relax in.

The shop attached to the buisness was like a little emporium full of nice things most of which were ethical and organic products.

The Shepherds purse is a gem of a find and we will most definitely be returning again!

We stayed here for one night on 7th July, we were upgraded without asking by the lovely woman in the shop, to room 5, which had a corner bath and four poster bed,from a room with a shower, very nice.
The towels and linen were immaculate and there was plenty of coffee and tea in the room, not the usual two cups worth.
The little courtyard was so cute and just like a french farmhouse, I loved it.
The accomodation is right next to everything you could want.
Just a note don't bother with the indians accross the bridge expensive for amount of food we got (Shaniq I think it's called).
Park across the road for £6 a day.

Oh What a beautiful place to stay!!!! Were else do you get real flowers in your room...on your towels and in the bath room!! Candles on the beautiful balcony over looking a "secret garden"... cookies and coffee that is also sold in the shop that is to die for!!!!!...The room may have been small....But every thing was perfect for a romantic stay!!! We stayed in room 5! With the comfortable four poster bed!!! And the corner bath!!!...The room was spotless , with white crisp bedding and towels!!! The place just has such an air of relaxation!!....tranquility!!!.... I just so wished we had booked for 2 nights not one!!!!!!
The girls that run the place are so sweet and help full!!!!
There may not be parking facilities but just round the corner their is an overnight car park 2 min walk away at a cost of 6 pound for 24 hours!
Loved it!!!!! And will be returning!!!!!..............it the little things that make the room!!! You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into the room to make it that extra special.......

We stayed in room 6, lovely room, really quaint, clean - we loved it. The only fault was that the shower didnt work and didn't really fancy a bath with it being a shared bathroom with another room. It didn't bother us though as we were only there one night. Staff lovely and friendly and a great location. Will be back in the future I'm sure.
