    Nothing, everything was perfect

    Where do I start, very friendly hosts, lovely quiet location but still a short walk to the centre, bed very comfortable, shower lovely and powerful, room lovely and clean and the biscuits and bag of sweets a lovely touch. Breakfast was exceptional served in a pleasant room, all local ingredients. Managed to park outside and had a parking permit for the 2 days. Already planning to return next year

    As the area has only on-street parking (parking pass provided by host), it is almost impossible to find parking if you are arriving late. Pay and display parking at the leisure centre (within 3 minutes walk) for additional cost available. Non of that is the host's fault.

    Great location, 5 minutes walk from the centre, 20 minutes from Whitby Abbey. Excellent breakfast, super friendly host. Quirky decor and attention to detail.

    The guest house is beautiful! The decor and aesthetic is incredible! We loved the whole Rockabilly, Goth, B-Movie themes through the house. Our room was wonderfully decorated, super comfortable and had all the creature comforts you coukd need. The owners were fantastic, couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful. We were given a breakfast menu for our stay and breakfast was served exactly to our liking on both mornings. I cannot say enough good things about High Tor! We absolutely loved staying here and will definitely be back again!

    Nothing what so ever

    From the moment we arrived, John and Lisa made us feel very welcome. They are both great hosts. The guest house is absolutely fantastic. Loved the theme, and my daughter loved it. John upgraded our room, so we had a very spacious bedroom, the bed was huge. Nice sized bathroom with shower. Even had slippers to wear. Bottles of water, sweets, and biscuits left in our room all complimentary along with tea and coffee. Not far from the bars and shops, too. It was just perfect.

    - Quiet neighbourhood & a short walk to the centre - Impeccably clean - Relaxing atmosphere (loved all the scents & decor!) - Nice variety of breakfast choices - Lots of complimentary items in the room, such as chocolates, biscuits, drinks & toiletries :) We had a lovely stay at High Tor! John & Lisa were so attentive, warm & welcoming. They really went out of their way for us, making my partner’s birthday extra special. Thank you so much again for everything & we can’t wait to come back!

    Everything was great. Cool vibe lots of music and film posters etc , stylish, chic decor, gorgeous comfy and immaculate room. Amazing, cooked to order breakfast. The hosts John & Lisa were so welcoming and full of good info. Parking permit provided. Loads of lovely extra touches - scented candles in the public areas, sweets and biscuits in our room. Good location too, nice and quiet but minutes away from everything.
