The beer selection is decent, there are always a few real, hand-pumped ales on in addition to the usual roster of British and international lagers. The menu is typical for local, British pub grub, and the Jumbo Cod I had (twice!) was both excellent and truly "jumbo" - best fish & chips I had in quite a while: the batter was crunchy and tasty, the chips well-cooked - even the mushy peas are edible (and not as much of a sludge as they usually are!) And at just UKP 9.95 I think the value is excellent, too. Drinks prices are moderate, the bar staff friendly and helpful, the décor clean and consumer-friendly. Just be aware that there will be a lot of dogs at this place, and some will be wailing while you're eating.

There are eight en suite rooms and a cottage which sleeps up to four all with the usual amenities. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the public bar is a delight to sit in and there is a choice of four cask real ales, constantly changing as well as the usual keg beers. There are daily specials for meals as well as the all-day breakfast, snacks and sandwiches. At weekends, there is live entertainment, usually covers bands or similar (Friday and Saturday nights).

    We stayed for a couple of nights in room 2 and had a lovely time at the Marine Hotel…read more Room 2 has a big spacious lounge with a couple of very comfy sofas. The view out of the double windows takes in the harbour and the opposite side of the town including the church on the hill. This is a vista to die for and we spent many a happy hour with a glass of wine watching the action in the harbour unfold (I don't think we turned the flat screen TV on once during our stay). Upstairs is a spacious mezzanine with a comfy, well dressed, double bed. Downstairs there is a large bathroom with a double sized walk in shower (the downside was that it had a distinct and unpleasant "musty" smell which we mentioned to the management and no doubt this will be sorted out shortly). The furnishings are modern, stylish and have a touch of design flair - this is a proper "boutique" hotel. There is also a small private terrace with a table for two which is perfect for coffee on sunny morning (you get the sun on the opposite side of the harbour in the evening). The rooms don't have tea or coffee making facilities but you can call down to the bar any time after 8am and they will bring you up a very nice, freshly made cup of coffee. There is an ice bucket which the friendly staff will fill up, and they will also provide you with a couple of flutes, should you feel the need to bring along a bottle of fizz. Other nice touches are the white bathrobes, Elsyl products, bottled mineral water and free wifi If you don't fancy breakfast in your room then you will eat in the pretty bar. There is a good selection of all the breakfast classics; well cooked and nicely presented. I can highly recommend the Whitby kipper which was just delicious. If you don't fancy venturing out in the evening the dinner menu looked very tasty but I'd make sure to book ahead as this is a popular dining spot. If you are a light sleeper I would pack a pair of ear plugs as there is a fair bit of noise from the seagulls and the early morning departure of the fishing boats (strangely the windows in the lounge have been double glazed but not the mezzanine windows). A sleeping mask might also be an idea if you need a dark room as the blinds let in plenty of light on a sunny morning.

Menu has expanded since last year and includes lots of local fish, lobster, oysters, scallops and a nice choice of children's meals such as fish pie and crab cakes rather than chicken nuggets! Old Speckled Hen and Amstel on tap makes a welcome change to this sort of bar restaurant. This visit didn't disappoint. Pan fried haddock fillet in bacon, leek and mussel sauce was divine as was the battered fish and hand cut chips. Our daughter plumped for sausage, chips and mushy peas. The sausage x 2 being a very meaty farmers style herby event which Mae loved! Well done The Marine. Much better than the 'cattle market' fish & chip restaurants further down the quay.

    "Victorian Seaside Fun" Every one of those words is true…read morefor this hotel. I whisked the lover off for a 6 month anniversary jaunt and wow! just wow! The first thing that you notice as you pull up to the hotel are the incredible views. Situated on East Terrace, Whitby is below you, with the Shambles and the Abbey on the other side of the harbour. It may seem like miles away but really is only a 5 minute walk downhill (a bit longer on the way back up!!). La Rosa is fantastic, from the intoxicating smell of lavender and honey as you walk through the door to the inordinate amount of Victorian "stuff" everywhere. You can't help but stand in awe and stare at everything. Quite literally awesome! Although not overwhelming and not like an aged relative's house. We were a bit late for the afternoon tea, but I've heard good things. Each room is done up to a different theme that you can see on the website. we stayed in "La Rosa" which was just beautiful and romantic. Very comfortable bed, massive mirrors and a red bathroom with roll-top bath (with lots of hot water) and the same views (but higher) of the Abbey to top off an incredible room! The people that run this place are lovely and fun and I just want to hug. Dogs are allowed, although not advertised, so The Count got a lovely warm welcome too! They also have a caravan park north of Whitby that i am dying to go to. each caravan has a different theme...sounds just as kitsch and fab as this place! Not ont he cheap side, but if you have the opportunity... GO!

We had a great weekend and on the Sunday me and my brother in law checked out of our hotel and decided to go see the girls and go look a their room as they were saying it was nice, and help with the bags. Anyway, we got to Las Rosa and I explained that we were waiting for my mother and sister and that I had heard good things about the rooms. The receptionist murmured a quiet "ohh" and I asked if I could go have a quick look at the room and to help my mother with her bags.I can only assume the receptionist didn't like the look of me as she said very arrogantly "no I am not prepared to allow you walk around in the hotel" I said "but I just want to help my mother" She replied.. "well I'm sorry". I said "oh ok, but if I wanted to book a room would you allow me to see it" This somehow enraged the "ample" receptionist as she said "Can you get out please get out now" I WAS SHOCKED!! I have never experienced such rudeness :o I can only assume she is the manager as NO ONE would employ such a rude receptionist.. SURELY?? It is NOT in my character to make complaints, but I felt it is only fair to give people fair warning and an honest account.

    The Dolphin is a pleasant traditional pub in a very nice location with a good view of Whitby…read moreHarbour and the pier. Alas, compared to some other Whtby pubs, most notably The Little Angel (which is five to seven minute walk away), the beer selection is very disappointing if you don't want to settle for the usual Greene King ales. When I dropped in during a short pub crawl of Whitby harbour, there were no other real ales of interest available, so I chose just 1/2 pint of Abbot Ale, which is one of Greene King's signature beers and a solid choice as a best bitter. I quickly left for other, more interesting pubs. As a family pub for a solid if unexceptional lunch or dinner it will do.

It's serious enough that my doctors have suggested a procedure tp close my saphenous vein. By the time I arrived back after 6+ hours of walking, I'd developed a painful bulge in my right ankle. I sat at a small table by the window in the bar/dining area by myself, ordered a drink, and started a phone call. My ankle started to get really uncomfortable, so I pulled a barstool over and tried to elevate my ankle for a bit while I was finishing my drink, taking care not to put my sole on the upholstery by hanging my foot off the edge. Some 20-something bartender comes over waving at me to put my foot down while I'm on the phone. I didn't understand for a moment because I was in the middle of a call. Another staff member who was eating at an adjoining table said "yeah, you have to put your feet down". I finished my call, turned to the one who was seated, and explained that I didn't mean to be distespectful, but I was actually in pain. He pointed to my drink and said, "Have another one and you'll feel fine." He theh tried to explain to the bartender that I had a problem with my ankle, but I got the feeling they thought I was making an excuse. I just headed back to my room where I could put my foot up in peace. Really didn't appreciate being embarrassed publicly and having to explain my medical condition with other patrons in the room, but happy to share the results of my last venous doppler study with management just so they don't think I'm lying. I will never stay here again.

Whitby harbour extends to over 80 acres and is well worth taking a look around. The famous port of Whitby, steeped in history, is still a working port of trawlers with their fishermen; boat builders and of cargoes coming and going. Whitby hosted the visit of her long lost ship that of Captain James Cook, the Bark Endeavour. On Whitby`s East and West piers, are two lighthouses placed at the harbour entrance, dating back to 1835 and 1855. The lighthouse on the West side of the River Esk is worked manually and only used when vessels are expected, to indicate that it is safe to enter the harbour. By day, a black ball is hoisted on the 83 feet high lighthouse. In the summer, it is open to the public and when you reach the top, there is a fine view. The light from this lighthouse shows green and has a range of ten miles. The lighthouse on the East side of the River Esk is 54 feet high and shows a divided red and green light, the red light showing when the vessel entering the harbour is on an unsafe course, (although in the main, this light is now discarded, due to the placing of a new red light on the church steps, serving the same purpose). Whitby has a permanent dredger working daily during the summer months, keeping the River Esk free from the silt, so the trawlers and smaller craft have clear passage to their berths. The marina in the town was built in 1979 and has moorings for 200 craft. The original lighthouses were the design of James Walker; originally a pair of towers, aligned north-south and showing fixed lights over Whitby Rock, the station was altered in 1890 when a more efficient light was installed in the smaller tower and the other closed down. The harbour at Whitby is still the base for the town's fishing fleet and it was from here that Captain Cook set out in the Endeavour on his voyage of discovery to Australia in 1768. Trinity House built the present Whitby Lighthouse in 1858 on Ling Hill. Whitby Lighthouse was automated in 1992 and is monitored and controlled via telemetry link from the Trinity House Operations Control Centre at Harwich. The width between the entrance piers is about 180 ft. The 700 ft. x 60 ft. Fish Quay was built in 1957 in the lower harbour, complete with fish shed and offices for the sale and landing of fish by auction, with the addition of the ice plant in 1965 - the depth alongside at L.W. Spring being 3 ft. at the south end to 8 ft. at the north end. In the upper harbour, separated from the lower harbour by the swing bridge, there is a quay of 300 ft. and a small dock of about 150 ft. square, both dry at low water. Endeavour Wharf, completed in 1964 has 700 ft. of frontage and is connected by road, with a depth alongside of 21 ft. H.W. Spring, 7 ft. L.W. Spring. Today fishing boats, mostly Yorkshire Cobles, continue to be built at two small yards to traditional methods. After a lapse of some 30 years, Whitby once more began to use her harbour for commercial as well as for fishing and pleasure craft, and in July 1958 the first vessel docked with a cargo of Baltic timber. In the following month the first cargo of ground limestone from Thomton Dale quarries was shipped from Whitby quay to ports in the east coast of Scotland, for use on farmland. W. Scoresby of Whitby invented the Crows Nest..all pirates had one :)

    Great to come from Australia…read more & see where Captain Cook set out from. Marvellous Whitby!
