Top Whitby Hotel Reviews

Saltmoore

8/10 Good
"The hotel is gorgeous! Our room was perfect, lots of space and mostly very clean. The only bit that wasn’t was the balcony so when we stepped onto that, as it was a beautiful Easter weekend we then put the dirt onto the carpet. Sunday lunch was lovely, the room we had it in was dog friendly and they were lovely to our boys (spaniel and GSD). We then went for a walk and a drink. I do wish we were allowed to take the dogs into the lounge or they had another area as we spent all our time in the orangery which was lovely but mixing it up and seeing more of the hotel would have been nice. We came across a few issues over the weekend. One was they hadn’t told us the lunch menu and dinner menu were exactly the same and as we didn’t fancy have 2 roast dinners we needed up at the pizzeria which was very disappointing. The food was not cooked properly, it was cold and the service wasn’t great. All in all we had an amazing trip and will be returning but will probably eat outside of the hotel next time "

Plus, you'll earn OneKeyCash™* on eligible bookings to use on future trips. Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. But, if you're feeling spontaneous, check out the last-minute deals.



*Excludes taxes and fees. OneKeyCash is not redeemable for cash and can only be used on Expedia and other participating brands.
What beach activities should we do in Whitby?
The best area to stay in Whitby largely depends on what kind of experience you're seeking, but for most visitors, staying near the harbour or in the historic East Side offers the most convenience and access to attractions.

The area around Whitby Harbour and the town centre on the West Side is generally the most popular choice. It's very central, with many hotels, guesthouses, and holiday lets lining the streets leading up from the harbour. Here, you're just a short stroll from the swing bridge, which connects to the historic East Side, and you'll find plenty of shops, restaurants, and pubs along Flowergate and Skinner Street. This area is great for families, as it provides easy access to the sandy West Cliff beach and the Whalebone Arch, a popular photo spot.

For couples looking for a historic and perhaps more romantic setting, the East Side, particularly around Henrietta Street and Church Street, is a wonderful option. This side of town is characterised by its steep, winding cobbled streets, leading up to Whitby Abbey. It's home to many traditional fisherman's cottages, now often converted into holiday rentals, offering a quieter stay with stunning views over the harbour and out to sea.
Is it cheaper to book flights and a beach hotel in Whitby as a package?
Booking a beach hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking a beach vacation package well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect travel package.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Whitby for you.
