We stayed here Thursday 23rd May for 3 nights. We arrived and was offered tea/ wine and fruit cake! The room was a little dated and was ok for being clean, if I was being picky the edges needed doing and found a few hairs which where not ours. Our toilet was outside, which was a bit off putting when... More

The excellent reviews for Riftswood are well deserved. Our hosts went the extra mile to make our stay feel special, even a gift and a birthday card for me! They also recommended (great call) and booked a restaurant for us. The room was very nice, very clean and had everything we could ask for. The breakfast was top quality and... More

Leaving whitby tonight after staying at the Riftwood b and b for the first time. Already booked a second visit after a wonderful experience. Pete and Paula (not forgetting Denzel the dog), made us feel exceptionally welcome. The room was lovely and very comfortable, and our hosts gave us all the comforts of home - nothing was too much trouble... More

We were meant to be staying at Riftswood after completing the W2W, but due to a chest infection the plan slightly changed and we travelled across to Whitby for a more relaxed stay and to enjoy the beach and town. From the moment we arrived, Paula made us feel exceptionally welcome, and the offer of tea and cake was lovely.... More

The hotel was beautiful and the hosts (Peter Paula and Denzel) were absolutely perfect in every way. I would genuinely recommend this place to anyone but dont just take my advice read the glowing reports from other guests... More

I stayed at Riftswood B&B July 2012- and it was brilliant. Even though our bedroom had a WC in a separate room, it didn't compromise the stay. The rooms were clean and amiable- their pictures on their website do not do them justice. The hosts were all you could hope for, and more. Breakfast was one of the best I've... More
