30 May 2025Booked a budget room with having our dog with us, very noisy being near the main road, and a bit on the small side, good place to stay to visit various places in the area, staff were very polite and pleasant, and willing to help in any way way they can, especially Kirsty, who was extremely helpful, all in all a nice relaxing stay

17 Apr 2025The Stables love dogs! They cater for people and 4 legged fury friends equally! We had a brilliant few days being hosted at The Stables, located only a couple of miles from the harbour with easy access into and out of town it really couldn't be in a better location. The views from the bar/breakfast room are amazing and the staff really are top notch, friendly, helpful and everything you come to expect from a great hotel/restaurant.

08 Apr 2025Friendly & comfortable hotel
Lovely clean room, comfy bed. Ate in the bar & enjoyed a nice meal, friendly staff in bar area. It was not warm enough to sit in the garden but in warmer weather there were plenty of tables outside in a nice spacious garden. Hotel is situated away from the centre of whitby but is very handy for the park & ride bus service which works out much cheaper than using the town car parks.

Initially booked into room 7 ( annex) . Hadn't fully appreciated the access issues / stairs / downstairs toilet/ wardrobe. Staff were brilliant and moved to room 15 inside hotel immediately. Friendly staff , great food and only 1.5 miles from Whitby . ( Although Park and Ride does not start until Spring) . Would certainly book again .

02 Nov 2024We visit Whitby every October, this was the first time in a hotel and we absolutely loved it. Cosy pub with plenty of food choice, very comfortable beds, kettle in room (yippee!), superb staff and the holy grail: full breakfast menu included (please don’t stop doing this!). Plenty of parking. The outside areas were lovely, a pond with a duckboard walkway, picnic benches if you fancy sitting outside, and a view of the countryside from the dining room windows. We will definitely return.

Nice accommodation, great food and good pricing. Sorry to say our room had no TV remote control when i asked members of staff no one could really help. Just come back later we are busy. It was Saturday evening. Hours later a lady produced a remote only problem was it was not for our particular TV so our evening was spoilt. Such a shame.

03 Oct 2024Lovely area/views, excellent friendly staff but the room was expensive for what it was. Tiny window high up so couldn’t see anything, noise from the road, no water/fridge in room, refreshments tray placed on dressing table area so near where you do your hair etc, no where to hang towels in bathroom, little things that would make a big difference. Good selection for cooked breakfast but poor options for continental.

21 Sep 2024A disappointing stay overall :(
Wasn’t very impressed with the stay overall. Our room felt like it was a motel room on the highway with no view/windows. For the price we paid I definitely wasn’t happy as the previous night we stayed in central Whitby with an unbelievable view for less. Other than one particular staff member who helped me on the last day I felt that most were not trained properly and rushing around /stressed out. One particular male server who was new I believe was incredibly rude and upset me quite a bit how he spoke with me and my husband.

09 Sep 2024Great surroundings we loved the quirky rooms. Hotel is directly opposite the park and ride so quick & easy for Whitby much better than trying to find a space in town. Only downside for us is the breakfast and checkout times, 07:30 to 9:30 breakfast is early especially when breakfast is available to none residents until 10:30. Also 10:30 checkout seems a bit harsh especially on Sunday mornings. Overall good stay but breakfast and checkout felt rushed.

27 Aug 2024Wonderful stay!
We had a really lovely stay here over the recent BH weekend. The hotel is spacious and clean. The staff were all friendly and personable. Our special requests were all met, which was appreciated as we had travelled with our older parents and a dog staying in 3 rooms that we wanted together. Check-in was smooth and quick and the rooms were great. Beds were comfy and bathrooms well appointed, lovely toiletries and fluffy towels. In-room tea & coffee facilities all as we expected and the daily replenishment of biscuits were very welcome - you don’t always get this these days!! There was some traffic noise, but this didn’t affect our sleep or overall stay in the room. Very dog friendly and family friendly - great to see the children and pets enjoying the outside spaces and breathtaking views- stunning. Restaurant and Bar area was huge - with a good variety of food options and nicely priced for Lunch and Dinner. Breakfast was informal and relaxed again, with plenty of options for all. Our only niggle was that there wasn’t a comfy lounge area to move to, to sit,relax and spend time together after our evening meal -something our elderly parents would have enjoyed and found more comfortable than staying at the table or just going back to their room. There is tonnes of space and different areas at this establishment - just felt it would have benefitted from a cosy lounge area for residents to use. That aside, we all had a great time and would not hesitate to stay here again.

19 Aug 2024Awesome
This place was excellent and the room was amazing. My only negative, would be that I had to pay for my flat white coffee with my breakfast. I would have thought that would have been included in the morning breakfast that was included with the room. Overall this place would get 5 stars all day long

29 May 2024Avoid on a warm day
The room was a reasonable size and it felt like it had been recently decorated to a good standard. The main issue concerns a lack of air conditioning. The room was warm and on speaking to a member of staff we were informed that we could open the window. We did, but it didn’t make much difference and it was also noisy as it opened on to an external corridor. We also asked for a fan that didn’t appear. Another issue concerns the early breakfast ordering deadline (9:30) and the checkout deadline (10:30). The hotel is fine, but we won’t be returning.

26 May 2024Gorgeous hotel, amazing stay.
Absolutely amazing stay. The hotel was beautiful, and very accommodating. We stayed in room 6 in the courtyard, and it was one of the nicest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in, truly beautiful. Really cosy and romantic. We had our dog with us as well, they left a dog bowl and some treats in the room for him which was a lovely addition. Food in restaurant for breakfast and dinner was lovely too. Will definitely be back!

It was fine for a couple of days. The sound proofing in our room wasn't great. Traffic noise and dog barking disturbed our sleep.

09 Apr 2024Solo trip
What a lovely find, handy for the park and ride into Whitby, which was literally a 2 minute walk across the road. Hotel was lovely, big carpark. I had one of the large mezzanine suites, more than I expected, unfortunately for me the heating was broken, stuck on HOT. The team quickly sourced maintenance to resolve the issue, but this needed further fixing and I was moved to another room. Another beautiful room with a view across the country side. I had the vegetarian breakfast and the 2nd morning the Eggs Royle both arrived quickly, fresh and hot. All staff I met were pleasant and friendly, I have recommended The Stables to friends and I would not hesitate to book again in the future.
