An award-winning restaurant with rooms in a Georgian former alum office at Sandsend, a few miles from Whitby.
About Estbek House
Estbek House occupies a Georgian building at Sandsend, a coastal village a few miles north of Whitby, built around 1750 and originally used as an office for the local alum mining trade. It now operates as a restaurant with rooms, combining historic character with a seafood-led menu that has built a strong reputation well beyond the immediate area.
The restaurant, open for dinner most evenings, focuses on natural, unfussy seafood cookery paired with a considered wine list including Antipodean selections, and has been recognised in national restaurant guides for the quality of its cooking. Rooms upstairs are comfortable and individually furnished, positioned as an extension of the dining experience rather than a conventional hotel stay.
Sandsend's beach is a short walk from the door, and Whitby itself is a few minutes away by car or a longer coastal walk, making Estbek House suited to couples prioritising food and quiet over proximity to Whitby's town centre attractions.
