We have just spent 2 nights at the Hillcrest, quite a good sized room overlooking the main road so a bit noisy at night, modern bathroom but not much storage space but shower was good, carpet in bedroom could do with a clean. Breakfast was excellent.
No welcome from the owners as mentioned in previous reviews!

Enjoyed our night in the Ruswarp room very much. Owners very welcoming, allowing us to check in early and leave our car in their car park whilst enjoying the day. Clean, well decorated comfortable room and fantastic shower with a good breakfast to set us up for the day well. Would love to visit again and see what the other rooms are like! Thankyou

I stayed here with my partner for a 2 night relaxing break, we were met by the waitress and shown to our room, she was very friendly and asked if we needed anything. We liked how we were left alone and not bothered by anyone, we were given the code for the door and came and went as we pleased, which was great after a night out which proved to be a late one.
We stayed in a lovely decorated room, very modern and big in size with a kingsize bed. The bathroom was spotless and the shower was brilliant. The towels were changed and tea/coffee refilled.
Breakfast times were good, and had lovely music played through so it was a nice atmosphere, although we did find the tables a little to close to each other that it made us a little uncomfy and we had to whisper as everyone was silent. We said we wouldnt have felt comfortable taking our children there as it was quiet and relaxed, just right for couples though.
Breakfast was lovely with a good choice for everyone.
We would stay again if we were returning for a weekend away without the children.

Upon arrival we were informed that we had been upgraded to one of the Executive rooms due to it being calm during our mid week stay. We found the owners very pleasant and the car park was more than adequate for us. The property is a short walk from the marina, and despite being on a main road we found it to be fairly quiet during our stay.
The room we stayed in was 'Leaholm', it had a comfortable four poster bed and plenty of storage space. The room was clean and tastefully decorated, as was the en-suite with a large walk in power shower. The room was well stocked with tea and coffee and we felt very much at home whilst we were there.
The breakfast was served from 9 till half 9 in a clean and attractive breakfast room, this left us enough time to relax in the room before going down. There is a really wide selection for breakfast, including traditional smoked Whitby kippers which are a real must. Service was friendly and fast without feeling rushed.
Overall this is a lovely place to stay whilst in Whitby. Having stayed in an Executive room, I would recommend booking one of them. There is just enough luxury to make it feel special without losing that friendly touch.
