Traveller reviews

“Superb”
15 Jul 2025
Nice location for us personally as we were at a wedding near Sneaton castle. Rooms very spacious and a nice shower. All rooms have smart tvs.

“Good weekend away”
13 Jul 2025
The welcome was excellent. Advice on best walking route into Whitby was very welcome. Breakfast was tasty and good quality.

“Perfect place to stay!”
28 Jun 2025
Firstly, Linda is a fantastic host, very welcoming, responsive, and helpful. The house is elegant and cosy at the same time. The room I stayed in was perfect, with a very comfortable bed, complimentary hospitality tray, and a spacious en-suite showerroom with complimentary toiletries. Breakfast also had a vegan "full English breakfast," which was perfect, as well as muesli, cerals, fresh fruit, orange juice, and excellent coffee from a local roasting company. Another bonus was that the Coal Merchant's House offered free parking. The property is about 1.9 miles from the harbour, but Linda suggested a shortcut, so it was a pleasant 20 minutes' walk into town. It was very convenient to be able to walk into town as parking can be expensive. Despite having an injured knee, I was able to walk into town, climb the 199 steps, and visit the Abbey and Church. In short, this is a perfect place to stay.

“Everything you would want.”

Lovely welcome, and attention to detail to make our stay really comfortable. Superb cooked breakfast with local sausages and bacon from the butcher down the road. Helpful local knowledge. A good base to visit local sites, and close enough to walk into Whitby which is otherwise hard to park. An EV charger available to use was an added bonus.
