Set in Whitby and only 1.4 km from Whitby Beach, Hillcrest Whitby offers accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. This 4-star bed and breakfast offers luggage storage space and a housekeeping service. The bed and breakfast features family rooms.

Great location, room was clean & spacious & nicely decorated. Plenty of sockets, lovely ensuite. Lots of options to dry towels. I’m always sceptical about choosing a breakfast to be delivered in a box….the list of food options is extensive. The breakfast was beautifully presented & very tasty.

    The appartment was immaculate, very well appointed and generously stocked. The bed was luxurious and the size of the suite was beyond expectation. The terrace area was a welcome bonus. It is situated perfectly and yet tucked away so as not to be busy or noisy. A real hidden gem. The French restaurant downstairs is very cool and chic. Personal service, the like of which you cannot get outside Michelin starred restaurants and the food- amazing.
