Beautiful hotel right in the heart of Whitby, lots of restaurants around and a short walk from the famous 199 steps. Good value and friendly staff. The supply of shampoo and conditioner was a thoughtful addition.

Such a good stay. The Dove Loft was clean and beautiful. With two rooms it's perfect for a couple like us who enjoyed the space. The room felt really special and I can't thank them enough for being available on the phone when we arrived late and helping us find the place. Perfect.

This was a lovely little hideaway right in the middle of town but tucked away and quiet. Very comfortable and clean room with a balcony over the beautiful courtyard, and delicious food just next door. Perfect spot to relax and unwind, and see all the sights of Whitby.

Amazing place to stay, would recommend it to everyone, warm, clean and everything you need for a short break, minutes from the Main Street and all the amenities it also has a beautiful garden to relax in with a glass of wine. Can’t wait to go back again.

What a lovely place to stay, a proper little oasis! Cosy room, rain shower and quality toiletries. Ignore hotels.com comment that states towels and bedding not included, they definitely are.

Ian • Couple Trip

Cute little place off the quaint pedestrian streets. It is very very small ( you could only get to one side of the smallish double bed ) and sits off a little courtyard so not a conventional hotel. The area is great, it's close to the steps up to the abbey. The quality of the decor and furnishings was very good. No breakfast but a kettle and fresh coffee is provided and an excellent " hipster type" bakery about 50 yds away on the street.
