i booked two month in advance for this place and when i turned up at the give time, no one was there, i knocked the door phoned the contact numbers for the guesthouse with no answer it just kept sending me to voice mail.
I was ment to bookin at 4, but was told i could book in anytime after 1 so i was there earlier too and at 4.
I waited around til 5, before giving up on trying to get in since obviously no one was there.
The neighbours of this property say she does this all the time, and so i had to find another place to stay, i aslo contacted the police about this since she had all ready excepted my money and not provided the room that i had paid for. I would deal with this guesthouse again and im now going through the courts to get my money back.

tried all day from 1pm to gain entry but after calling both numbers supplied on door and leaving messages and ringing door bell NUMEROUS times throughout the day we finally had to give up at 7pm to find alternative accommodation.They have £65 of our money that we paid when we booked in august for two nights in november.

arrived at harbour view at 14.00 waited and phoned numbers on door constantly this was landline and mobile numbers at 17 30 we gave up .Found other another hotel and booked in there.Next morning reported matter to police at whitby,who are now investigating.We had paid an £80 deposit a young girl who also there waiting to get in had paid in full £190 she also reported this to police .PLEASE DONT GO however if you do go and cant get in and loose what youve paid PLEASE REPORT TO POLICE AND GET THIS CROOK PUT OUT OF BUISNESS.PEOPLE WHO HAVE LOST MONEY IN PAST SHOULD REPORT MATTER TO POLICE

It’s taken me a while to write this review but we stayed at harbour view for an anniversary weekend. The owner was aware of the reason for booking, however this did not deter her from moaning about her failed marriage and openly encouraging her daughter to hate men in front right of us, she even said she was going into town with her daughter to spit at men. Not the best introduction I’ve had...

She was eager to take our money upfront and it was not till after it became apparent it was not a B&B but a self catering hostel. This angered me as it was not made clear we do not get a breakfast made for us. She was never around so could not complain but sh later sai" it give the guests more freedom to get up when they want". So why not provide a breakfast between 8-9 and then let people help them selves?? I was ready to leave at this point but didn’t want to spoil our romantic weekend further.

We occupied the top attic room with a “harbour View” What a load of rubbish!! £65 per night to stand on tiptoes and poke your head out of the sky light to see not the harbour but a boat yard, it may as well have been overlooking an industrial estate. There were no other windows.

The room was so tiny you could only stand up properly in small areas we had to dress by taking it in turns. The toilet was impossible to use standing up and if you wanted a shower or bath you had to crouch.
I work in home safety and as this was the top room of a single narrow staircase with NO I repeat NO other escape exit if there was a fire, we would have had to climb out on to the slate roof via the sky light but there is nowhere to escape to from there. There was a small extinguisher which would just about put out a cigarette.

We spoke to another couple who were staying there who had the same issues. They wanted to complain but the owner was never around.

I will say the room was clean but the impression given by this place is false even the photo lies as the property is split into two hence the tiny rooms and dangerously narrow staircase. To summarise it was cold, claustrophobic unwelcoming, well overpriced and possibly quite dangerous. This is a £20 per night backpackers Not a B&B.

I would not recommend this place to anyone.
