Historic harbour-front inn with Whitby Abbey views, live music & cask ales

Accommodation

The Pier Inn offers en-suite rooms with sea views overlooking Whitby Harbour and the Abbey. Each room has a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee facilities, and complimentary toiletries. Guests receive a 30% discount on all food and drinks purchased at the bar during their stay.

Dining

A full English breakfast is served each morning, with hot options like Eggs Benedict and locally sourced bacon. Lunch and evening meals are available in the pub, featuring home-cooked pies, fish and chips, and cask ales from the Cameron's brewery. The breakfast selection includes cereals, toast, fresh juice, and unlimited tea and coffee.

Entertainment

Live music takes place on Friday and Saturday evenings in the bar, with bands playing until around 11:30 PM. The pub has a traditional atmosphere with a sun terrace overlooking the harbour. Guests with rooms on higher floors report that noise from the bar does not disturb sleep.
