Pinewood House

Having stayed in a really miserable, run down B+B within a short distance of the Pinewood last year, I wasn't that hopeful of finding somewhere of 'quality' without paying through the nose. But the reviews were good so we took a chance (mind you, so did the one last year and that turned out to be a bit of a s*** hole). As soon as we drove up to this place, I knew we'd chosen well. The outside looks fresh and well cared for. As for the interior, there has clearly been money spent on ensuring a good stay. The fresh flowers and plants dotted around really do lift a place and these abound, especially in the really lovely breakfast room. There's even a bowl of chocolates to sample from in the entrance hallway, which is a really nice touch. The staff are pleasant without being 'overly friendly' (which I never appreciate). The room was very clean and of a good size. I loved the little extras that really good establishments seen to offer like a kettle, tea, coffee, hairdryer, electric fan etc. The breakfast is really very nice - and plentiful. The thickest breakfast bacon I've ever had - and where gives you THREE perfect poached eggs? The dining area is spotless and the white crockery squeaky clean. I especially appreciated the size of the shower room (a bit of mould could do with some bleaching I think!). There's a superb view of the abbey as you leave the building and face left, and the other establishments on the terrace also look cared for - this isn't a run down area of Whitby. It's only a short walk to Cook's monument with probably the best views in Whitby. Would we stay again? Without a doubt.

I especially appreciated the size of the shower room (though you ALMOST lost a star for not just using a bit of bleach around the bottom of the shower stall - mold is never appealing, or a good sign of attention to detail in a quality establishment).

Excellent B&B owners very friendly & helpful Room clean well maintained instant hot water great shower tea,coffee facilities+small fridge available in room.Breakfast great selection made to order.An enjoyable 3 night stay.

Lovely B&B. The owners were very friendly, and very helpful. Very considerate of people's needs. Rooms were lovely, clean, well maintained. Beds were a little too firm for me but that's personal preference so not really a criticism! It was very nice, food was great, and it was a very pleasant stay.

Lovely clean property very good breakfast options well cooked Full English instant hot water great shower ideal location

Great guesthouse. Hosts Tim and Josie gave us a warm welcome. The room was cosy, well equipped with a small fridge, tea makings and toiletries to make ourselves comfortable. Very clean and with modern plumbing. The breakfast was superb with wide choice and cooked to order. Walking distance to town centre with all the shops and restaurants and fish and chips. We had a lovely stay and would definitely stay there again.

Managed to get a last minute 2 day booking. How lucky we were. The photographs of the bedrooms are a good likeness. Reasonable sized room, spotlessly clean and good sized bathroom. Breakfast is fantastic, you won't need any lunch! Josie serves the best of everything for breakfast. Lovely selection of fresh fruit. Butcher sausages and best back bacon, heinz beans, lurpak butter. You can't beat it. Their micro pub is also worth a visit (that is if you can get in). I am sometimes suspicious if reviews are all good but the Pinewood earns its good reputation.

We had a wonderful stay at the pi newood.Clean everything you need in your room.Shampoo,shower gel,hairdryer. Tea coffee ,hot choc. The breakfasts is to die for,best fresh fruit ive had.Full English gorgeous. We loved our two nights. We thought parking may be a problem,but we found a spot as we arrived in the street.You get a parking permit from the owners.Will go again.x

Fantastic 2 night stay in Feb. Our first visit to Whitby. The room was excellent, clean and had all the necessary items needed. Even had a small fridge. Tea and coffee making facilities. The breakfast was 5 star and cooked to order. Fantastic hosts and checkin was easy and parking vouchers given. Great host great location and great breakfast.
