Royal Whitby - A recently refurbished seaside hotel with ocean views, historic surroundings, and family-friendly accommodations
Royal Whitby offers 115 rooms ranging from standard to superior and family options, all ensuite with TVs, tea and coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Guests can dine at the on-site restaurant, The Fat Badger, which serves dishes like roast topside of beef and Yorkshire pudding, paired with an extensive wine list. The hotel overlooks Whitby Abbey and provides easy access to the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, Whitby Beach, and the town's cobbled streets, with Whitby Railway Station just a 10-minute walk away.
Pros
The cliff-top location provides panoramic views of the harbor, beaches, and abbey ruins.
The Fat Badger restaurant offers a seasonal AA rosette menu and weekly deals like Burger & Beer Mondays.
Family rooms and EV charging spots are available on-site.
Cons
Some rooms face inland and lack ocean views.
Limited parking may require off-site alternatives during peak seasons.
“The Royal Whitby has location and views going for it, especially from the updated rooms overlooking the sea and abbey; the staff are also friendly and helpful, always a plus. It's a solid choice, particularly given the price point.”
