White Horse & Griffin - A historic 3-star inn with boutique rooms, locally sourced dining, and proximity to Whitby landmarks

Set within a 17th-century cobbled street, White Horse & Griffin features 10 individually styled en-suite rooms named after Whitby ships, each equipped with flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms offer views of rooftops or the sea, and select accommodations include open fireplaces or beamed ceilings. The property serves classic British dishes using seasonal local produce, with a focus on perfectly cooked beef in brandy cream sauce or vegetarian options, available in either the downstairs bistro or the upstairs private dining room. Whitby Town War Memorial and Swing Bridge are within 500m, while Whitby Lighthouse and Whitby Museum are a 10-minute walk away. Walkers from the Cleveland Way and cyclists on Sustrans Route 165 frequent the inn, which provides bike storage and an on-call mechanic.

Pros

Historic building with restored original features like cast fireplaces and decorative panelling.

Dog-friendly rooms and dining areas available for a £10 supplement.

Private dining room accommodates groups of up to 35 for weddings or events.

Seasonal menus focus on locally sourced ingredients, with celebrity chefs having cooked in the kitchen.

“This is a characterful place, and the combination of comfy beds and excellent breakfast is a definite draw. I noticed the central location is a real plus for exploring the town. Dog owners, take note: the hotel extends a warm welcome to canine companions, complete with a resident's lounge.”
