Pleasantly Surprised!

After reading some bad reviews on here I was very pleased when my mum and I arrived at this hotel. We had paid extra for a sea view room as that was all that was left at the time of booking and it was fabulous! A very large, tastefully decorated room with a pristine clean shower room and big floor to ceiling windows giving a fantastic sea view even in the rainy weather we had. The food at both breakfast and dinner, both included in cost, was plentiful and delicious and service by our waiter in particular was super efficient and speedy. The dining room and ballroom looked recently refurbished and were very smart. Only saw entertainment on Friday night and it was great, that guy worked hard running the dancing even teaching some, doing the bingo and also was a really good singer. All in all a great stay at this hotel and we will definitely return.…

Great Stay

Me and my mum decided to book the North Yorkshire Moors Railway tour with Shearings and stay at The Bay Royal hotel. I can honestly say we’ve never had a problem with the hotel. Serving piping hot breakfasts and delicious evening meals this is the place to stay. The rooms are very clean and cosy. I had room 235 which was great with a sea view overlooking Clara’s ice cream shop. The bed was very comfortable - best nights sleep I’ve had in ages. There was plenty of hot water for a bath aswell. It was nice to see that the bar and restaurant have been redecorated and a fantastic job has been done. The weather wasn’t kind to us on Tuesday, the Steam Train to Pickering got stuck twice due to the rain but don’t let this deter you from booking it, me and my mum have done the Railway journey from Grosmont to Pickering twice before in the summer and it didn’t disappoint. The Eden Camp, journey to the Esk Valley and Scarborough were worthwhile excursions. The staff in the hotel work to the max. Vicki has a great team there and nothing is too much trouble for them, great customer service skills and they are friendly and polite. Thank you Vicki for once again a pleasant stay! Will see you soon. John …

I am vegetarian... Coming on Monday....is there food for me??

Would think so, just phone the hotel direct and tell them your dietary requirements then you will know for certain.

Is the hotel a long way from the harbour and is it a long uphill walk

Depends which part of harbour you mean, you can walk down the steps at the Khyber Pass to the first part of the estuary end of the harbour, this will take about 5/6 mins from the hotel, it is then flat to walk right up to the swing bridge and beyond to the rest of the harbour, this will take about 20 mins. From anywhere in the town it is uphill back to the hotel which is on the West cliff, however you can artificially flatten out the walk by taking a zig zag route, if you are fit and can walk, then the best way back is by the Khyber Pass, this is all flat from town except the last bit which is either up the steps or round the road bend. If you have been to Whitby before you should have an idea of where I am talking about, if you have not been then don't be put off, Whitby is a great place to visit, I am sure you won't be disappointed. Hope this helps.
