Prices are very good for self catering and you can opt for breakfast in the Sandpiper if you wish. Great location and I would highly recommend trying it.

I hadn't been in Whitby for many years but had the opportunity to return for a three day visit this…read moreMay. It was wonderful, and due in no small measure to our stay in the Sandbeck Hotel. I booked our accommodation online. Its location (ten minutes walk from the train station) is perfect, right on the Crescent Terrace on the West Cliff. Our room was the Classic Bay, spacious, light and comfortable with a great view of the North Sea. The owners, the Gallaghers, were gracious hosts, friendly and very accommodating of our requests and our needs (we left very early on our last morning, prior to breakfast, but they provided a very satisfying boxed meal. Breakfasts are a special treat, with a variety of choices, tasty food properly cooked and politely served by the attentive waitstaff. I should also mention that the price is quite competitive, also. For a three-night stay, they offer a discount of 5%, so ours was 95 pounds per night ($147). All in all, a real treat!!

The Waves has become my new measure of all B&Bs. "Well, it's okay ... but it's not The Waves ... "…read more Run by writer and juke box enthusiast Kevern Stafford and his wife Ruth, The Waves is up on the cliffs above the south end of Scarborough - one of the nicest areas of town, from what we saw. It's a beautiful house, stylishly decorated, spotlessly clean, and really just a lovely place to be. There's a funky guest sitting room with a juke box and a record player, breakfast is served on locally handmade furniture and pottery ... and wait till you see the breakfast menu. There's about a dozen choices, ranging from a full fry up made with local, quality produce to vegan kedgeree. Or maybe you fancy kippers, or a superfoods smoothie ... or soft boiled eggs with marmite soldiers? And then there's the wifi, and the helpful information on good pubs and restaurants, and just Kevern's overall effort to make your stay as pleasant and comfortable as he can. All this for a reasonable price - our room was only £64. Really, I'd move in if I could. Go there!

Well that's it…read more Never again will I eat my breakfast in daylight. After an awesome weekend break at the gothic themed Bats and Broomsticks in Whitby I now insist upon eating all my breakfasts in a candlelit cellar to the strains of Sisters of Mercy. You may never have tried that before but once you have you will wonder how you ever breakfasted any other way. I'm feeling all dark and Mistressy just thinking about it. So to review. I believe I can sum this up neatly by saying that this warm, welcoming and quirky B&B just up the road from the heart of Whitby is PERFECT for you if you can say 'yes' to any or all of the following: 1) When I say 'Amelia' by The Mission you immediately start singing it in your head. 2) At any point in your life you have spent a weekend ruining the new DMs your badgered Mother finally bought you, to just the right degree of 'aged distress'. 3) You've ever picked holes in the cuffs of your school jumper to thrust your thumbs through. 4) You can air guitar to Alice Cooper's 'Poison'. 5) You have ever drawn spider webs on the corners of your eyelids. 6) Your father/mother/grandfather/grandmother has ever exclaimed you look like you are 'going to a funeral'. 7) You have ever deliberately sat in the shade on a sunny day drinking Cider and referring to those playing in the sunlight as 'The Others'. 8) You still refer to anyone as a 'Norm'. 9) You know what Stargazer Pitch Black is. 10) You have ever owned a dress or shirt made of crumpled velvet. Score double here if it was dark purple or had leather threading at the neck. So what are you waiting for my little Lestats and Booberellas?? Drag yourselves out of the dirt of your homelands and go for a thoroughly satisfying dark skulk around Whitby. You know you want to.
