Simple, cosy rooms and a cooked breakfast at Beaches Guest House, a small 7-room stay on Crescent Avenue in Whitby.

About Beaches Guest House

Walk into one of the seven rooms at Beaches Guest House and you'll find straightforward, comfortable quarters rather than anything showy, the kind of no-fuss space that suits a stopover in Whitby. A cooked breakfast is included to set guests up for the day, and there's free storage for bikes and motorbikes, handy for anyone touring the coast on two wheels.

Beyond the rooms, the property has a restaurant and bar on site, along with free WiFi, a garden, laundry service and luggage storage. Pets are welcome, and there's free on-site parking, so no need to hunt for a space on the surrounding streets. The place also takes on weddings and offers business services, giving it more range than the simple rooms might suggest.

Whitby itself is under a mile away, putting the harbour, abbey ruins and seafront within easy reach, and Scarborough Castle is nearby for a day out further along the coast. It's a modest, practical base rather than a destination in itself, well suited to travellers who want comfort and convenience over frills.

Tasmin meet us on arrival with a warm welcome, we had room number 2 and it was very spacious and clean. Breakfast was lovely. Fresh juice and cereals were available and as much toast as you wanted. Definitely be staying again next year. Thank you

Booked this place after browsing the Internet for a few days. Prices in Whitby vary quite a lot depending on what you want, we generally use the B&B as a place to sleep and that's about it. So for this reason we go for economy over amenities. This place is basic but clean, the host is very friendly and gives good advice about the local area. Yes you will be disappointed if you expect luxury, but if like us you need somewhere to sleep and shower then this place is perfect. Plenty of bars,pubs, restaurants, cafes, and other attractions near by. Close to the beach and Whitby pavilion, parking space available if you get lucky. The room we had was No6, this is on the top floor which won't suit everyone as its up lots of stairs. The bed was comfy, a normal double which was fun for us as we have a much bigger bed at home. The shower is very small but works fine and is nice and hot, anyone over 6ft could find it a bit awkward and I couldn't get the temperature to reduce much so that might be an issue for small children. Tea and coffee is available in the room, and it has a small flat screen tv which is plenty good enough for when in the room. Breakfast is served in the usual format of the front of the B&B, lots of choice of cereal and fruit juice. English breakfast is offered which is the usual fare, or the host will provide poached eggs if requested. Toast is provided and the host will happily supply more if you need that. We really enjoyed our stay here, not a luxury B&B or hotel, but very friendly, clean and comfortable. And above all great value for money. Perfect base to explore Whitby.

A very conveniently situated comfortable guesthouse which is handy for most places of interest in Whitby. Tamsin is a friendly and helpful owner, who is a mine of information about Whitby and the surrounding area. She also provides an outstanding full English breakfast. The bed was very comfortable. We would definitely stay at The Beaches again. Recommended.

Just arrived home from a long weekend at Whitby. We used Beaches. We had room 1 overlooking the Abbey. Tamsin the host is eager to please and lovely. She brought extra milk,coffee etc and gave us the breakfasts we asked for. Extra eggs etc and wifi without charge. She helps with a pass for parking and info on what to visit. The weather was awful whilst we was there but England won so not all bad. Thankyou again Tamsin.
