My partner and I stayed here for 4 nights and were very impressed with the high standard and level of service. Attention to detail came across in everything - bed linen, towels, generous supply of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits, and varied breakfast menu. I recommend the Greek yogurt!! We stayed in room 23 which had a sea view... More

This is the second time we have stayed at The Sandbeck and once again we were not dissapointed. We stayed in Family room no 17. It was excellent. Lovely and clean plenty of space and my daughter thought it was fantastic as she had her own room with bunk beds. The breakfasts were second to none - nothing was too... More

Thank you for your review. It is nice to be appreciated, we work hard at keeping our rooms clean and offering a good choice for breakfast. The family room is popular because of the adjoining bunk room giving a bit more privacy for parents. See you later in the year. More

We arrived and booked... More

It's the only place in Whitby who have a single room with a sea view. I love it! Great choice of breakfast. David and Kay are fab hosts. Every time I go, there has been some improvement made. The honesty bar is well stocked and reasonably priced. Can't wait for my next visit. Thanks everyone at the Sandbeck.

The Sandbeck was highly recommended to us and can now see why!! Warm welcome on arrival, shown to our room, we had room 14, would have to say was much smaller than the photo but nevertheless was a beautiful suite. We were the first to use the newly fitted bathroom and the bed was more comfortable than home! Everything was... More

Thanks for the response short and sweet. Room 14 is a beautiful suite as is Room 21. Both have brand new bathrooms and great that you mentioned this and the comfortable bed. As a further improvement we have added Bosch coffee machines into our suites (and 4 poster room) along side the existing coffee and tea making facilities. Thank you... More

Our second stay at the Sandbeck re-confirmed what we found first time round. It's a great place to base yourselves when staying in Whitby, at the end of the West Cliff just a couple of minutes stroll into town and with plenty of (free) on street parking available.

I booked at The Sandbeck to take my wife away for her birthday, we booked room 5 which certainly was a room with a view! It has a big bay window with a couple of chairs in to sit and take in the breathtaking views up and down the coast. The room was nicely decorated, it was very clean and... More
