White Horse and Griffin

About White Horse and Griffin

The White Horse and Griffin stands on Church Street, in the heart of Whitby's old town, and is one of the oldest properties in a town built on smuggling and seafaring history. Its rooms, a mix of twin, double, king and family layouts, sit above a working restaurant and bar that trades on the building's centuries-old atmosphere, along with a self-contained cottage for those wanting more privacy.

Breakfast and brunch are served daily, and the restaurant and bar operate as a destination in their own right for evening dining, with a menu built around local produce and a well-kept range of ales. The inn also holds Walkers Welcome and Cyclists Welcome accreditation, reflecting its position on the Cleveland Way and its popularity with those exploring the coast on foot or by bike.

Being on Church Street places guests within a minute or two of the 199 Steps, the jet shops and the harbourside, making it one of the most centrally located places to stay in Whitby, ideal for those who want to be in the thick of the old town rather than looking down on it from the cliff.
