Adult-only Georgian townhouse in Whitby with in-room breakfast service
Rooms & Decor
Highgate House is a Grade II* Listed Georgian townhouse offering individually styled luxury ensuite rooms with opulent décor. Each room features a luxurious bed, high-quality bedding, and a spacious layout with views over the front garden or courtyard. The four rooms are named after seasons-Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter-each with distinct furnishings and a four-poster bed in the Winter room.
Breakfast Experience
A standout feature is the breakfast served in the privacy of the guest room, allowing guests to stay in pyjamas. The tray includes a bacon butty, fresh fruit, yogurt, pastries, toast, and a choice of tea and coffee. Hot and cold options change daily, with dietary requirements catered for on request.
Location
The hotel sits a 2-minute walk from Whitby Beach and a 10-minute stroll from the town centre with shops, pubs, and the harbour. Whitby Abbey and the Captain Cook Memorial Museum are within 1 km, and the Cinder Track walking route to Robin Hood's Bay starts nearby. Paid public parking is available behind the property, and the hosts provide a complimentary parking permit for use on designated streets.
Gardens & Outdoor Spaces
The long front garden and rear terraces offer outdoor seating with flower borders and a tranquil setting. Guests can take breakfast on the terrace in good weather or relax in the garden after exploring Whitby. The property is set back from the road, providing a quiet environment despite being close to the town centre.
Services & Amenities
Upon arrival, guests receive a complimentary glass of prosecco in their room or garden. The hosts provide local recommendations for restaurants and attractions, as well as a walking route guide. The hotel supplies high-quality toiletries, fluffy towels and dressing gowns, and a daily housekeeping service.
Highlights
Location: 2 min walk to Whitby Beach, 10 min to town centre
Rooms: Four individually styled luxury ensuite rooms
Dining: Breakfast in pyjamas served in room with bacon butty
Amenities: Complimentary prosecco on arrival, parking permit provided
Gardens: Front garden and terrace with flower borders
Ideal for: Adult couples seeking a romantic retreat
“This is a grand house, thoughtfully reimagined into a B&B, that strikes a remarkable balance between elegant decor and a prime Whitby location, granting easy access to all the town's attractions. The attention to detail in the rooms and the considerate hosting creates a sense of genuine hospitality, though the in-room breakfast and somewhat restricted timings may not suit all preferences. It's a property that feels less like a business and more like a well-appointed home, offering a luxurious stay that many find worth the premium.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Ukyorkshire
