Move to the bedrooms to catch some sleep, with two king-size rooms to choose from, serviced by a gleaming shower room. When it comes to planning your holiday itinerary, there’s so much to do in the heart of Whitby; browse a wealth of independent shops, head to the shores of Whitby Beach for a paddle in the sea, climb the mighty 199 steps to Whitby Abbey and take a guided tour at the Dracula Experience. After building up appetite, there’s plenty of quality restaurants and pubs to curb your cravings, including Cosa Nostra, Rusty Shears and a short drive to Newholm Tea Rooms for some homemade food. A scenic drive along the Scarborough road is Ravenscar home to a growing colony of common and grey seals․ Continue on to Scarborough home to the SEA LIFE centre making it a favourite with marine and animal lovers alike. Lace up those walking boots and tackle the scenic splendour of the North York Moors National Park, crossing the rolling hills and passing through natural beauty including Mallyan Spout Waterfall, the North Yorkshire Moors Railways, Beck Hole or the beautiful Mulgrave Estate where the ruins of Mulgrave Castle can be found․ Alternatively if the coast is more your cup of tea, a coastal walk from the Abbey along the Cleveland Way to picturesque Robin Hoods Bay is a real treat.
