Overview

4-star converted 17th-century farmhouse with stable rooms on the edge of Whitby

Rooms

The Stables offers rooms converted from a former 17th-century farmhouse and its original stable quarters, providing rustic stone floors and exposed beams. Each en-suite bedroom is well-maintained and includes soundproofing to reduce road noise from the nearby main road. The new wing features rooms clad in corrugated metal to match surrounding barns, with some mezzanine layouts that separate sleeping and living areas.

Dining

The on-site restaurant serves a seasonal menu that changes regularly and emphasizes quality local produce from Yorkshire. Breakfast is included for residents and offers a selection of cereals, pastries, and cooked items like a full English with black pudding. Evening meals include dishes such as fish and chips, rump steak, and a Sunday roast with Yorkshire pudding, all served in a rustic setting with exposed beams and a cast iron range.

Location

The hotel sits 2 miles from Whitby town centre and 0.3 miles from the North York Moors National Park, placing guests directly between coast and moorland. A Park & Ride service operates directly opposite the hotel, providing a practical way to reach Whitby Abbey and Whitby Beach without searching for parking. Nearby attractions include Sandsend, Robin Hood's Bay, and the Esk Valley views visible from the garden room.

Pet-Friendly

Well-behaved dogs are welcome in designated rooms and public areas, with dog treats provided at check-in and a sausage offered during breakfast. The hotel has a dedicated outdoor space in the beer garden where dogs can accompany guests while they dine. Guests who choose the green room service option earn a free drink for each night they forgo daily housekeeping.

Garden & Grounds

The property includes a beer garden with sweeping views of the Esk Valley and a small pond where peacocks roam freely. Outdoor furniture and a terrace are available for dining, and a barbecue area is set up seasonally. The grounds are maintained to a high standard and have been compared to RHS Chelsea standards in guest reviews.
