We really enjoyed our visit, the sea view room was perfect. Adding the chairs to sit and look out onto the view is a lovely touch. The host couldn’t have been more helpful

Lovely and comfortable room, exceptionally clean. Very welcoming hosts with nothing too much trouble. A good location near to the beach yet handy for local shops and restaurants. Highly recommended.

Small room well thought out.Fabulous stay and very welcoming..very quiet.. also went out to see if she could find me a parking space..would definitely recommend

We have stopped here on a regular basis over the last 20+ years and we are never disappointed, Mark and Lyndsey looked after us well, but we hadn't a single problem, Lyndsey helped us sort out a good parking space,and gave us the £2 parking permit to display. Lovely smelling fresh bedding and towels a super clean room, with great little fridge, with water bottles and good standard if coffee, tea and biscuits.

Very clean.Good locationOwners friendly and approachable.

Absolutely lovely room and host. Couldn't do enough to help and very welcoming. Room very clean and everything you need too! Plus the sea view just made it all will definitely stay there again!

East Crescent(site of Lavinia House) is extremely convenient for West Cliff Attractions; and Lavinia House is an attractive property in a pretty crescent. Landlord and landlady friendly and helpful.

We have sopped at the Lavinia now for 3 times we will be definitely be going back the room was spotless very comfortable with a great view staff were great as usual can not weight to go back we highly recommend this hotel

Lovely room, very comfortable and very clean. Perfectly situated in the heart of Whitby but still very quiet and peaceful overnight. Will certainly be staying again

Had an absolute amazing stay at Lavinia House, lovely and clean and welcoming, parking available (very cheap) the room we had room 3 was amazing, a short walk into town couldn’t fault it at all, would definitely recommend this place, and would definitely stay there again. It’s bed only so no good if you like breakfast, tea & coffee available in the rooms though, but there are plenty of places to eat in town which suited us fine.

Just spent 2 nights at Lavinia House and enjoyed it very much. The hosts were very helpful and friendly. Lovely fresh smell as soon as you enter.Our room was spotless and clean and the bedding smelt lovely. It was room only which was fine as there are lots of places to eat nearby and there was tea and coffee facilities in the room. We had room 8, a 2nd floor room and binoculars were provided so we could see across the harbour. Lovely touch. Thank-you for a great break away we will recommend you to our friends and we will visit again.

Nice place will definitely be coming back.

Lovely room only accommodation, spotlessly clean ,comfortable bed and quiet location

Excellent accommodation in an excellent location close to the harbour and pubs/restaurants.Room was immaculate and very comfortable.The hosts were also excellent and welcoming, great communicators and met us at the accommodation despite arriving later than expected.Will definitely recommend and will be looking for opportunities to book again.

We had a nice quiet room. Very high standard of comfort and cleanliness. Parking was ok. Just a short walk. Very handy for Whitby Town centre.Highly recommended. Thank you very much.

We’ve had a fabulous stay at Lavinia Hoose.Lindsay was very welcoming on arrival and extremely helpful with regard to parking etc.The room was lovely, warm and loved the four poster bed.Nice touches with biscuits, toiletries etc. Extremely quiet and peaceful place to stay and very close to the centre of Whitby.This was a much needed break and ticked all the boxes. Would definitely stay here again.

Loved my stay at Lavinia house. Everything was perfect. A warm treating from Marcus,the moment you step in you feel the warm, cosy and sweet smelling environment. The rooms are spotless and well equipt. Beds and bedding so comfy, bathroom modern and also spotless. Thank you for a perfect stay and can't wait to come back

We have stayed in many accommodations over the years in Whitby. This is by far the best one we have stayed at and will definitely be returning. We was greeted by one of the owners Lyndsey who was very welcomeing and made us feel really welcome from the off, she couldn't of done more for us. The room was nice and warm when we got in there considering the cold weather out side. The room itself was to a nice high standard and clean with king size bed and ensuite . Plenty of refreshments left for us on arrival. We will definitely be making this our go to place from now on. Parking was also very easy.

Beautiful room, quiet, warm with fantastic sea views. Parking was very easy perfect location minutes from the front.

Lovely rooms and great friendly hosts. Always stay here, everything catered for.

Great Place/Location/Hosts.2nd time staying there, and will do again.

Stayed here for two nights recently and loved every minute. The room was lovely and very comfortable. It’s perfectly situated for everywhere and Mark and Lyndsey were both really lovely. We’ll definitely come here again

Nothing but lovely! Perfect location, perfect hosts, rooms were spotless and hosts were more than helpful. Have already recommended hotel to family who are planning a trip to Whitby soon. Can't fault it

We had a lovely two night stay. Excellent communication leading up to our stay meant that we checked in quickly and easily. We were even informed that our rooms were ready early. The rooms themselves were warm, comfortable and well appointed, everything you need it to be.

Treat this as our 2nd home from home, we don't come to Whitby if lavinnia house is not available, lovely rooms, clean, great views, full of character and super lovely hosts, thanks lyndsey and Mark, see you again soon 😊🙏

Lovely place to stay. The room was spacious and had a great view of the Harbour.The room was also incredibly clean, and the bed was very, very comfortable. The best night's sleep I've had in a long time.Mark and Lyndsey were great hosts too.We'd be more than happy to recommend Lavinia House, and we'd be delighted to return again.

Superb room, exceptionally clean, everything that we needed for a restful couple of days, highly recommend

I was travelling alone without a car and wanted a single room at a reasonable price in a convenient location. Lavinia House was ideal. I was given a friendly welcome, the room was a good size, nicely decorated with a generous hospitality tray. The private bathroom was well equipped with a big shower that was easy to use. The property was in a very good location, just a few minutes stroll from several of Whitby's major attractions and the sea. House was quiet and peaceful. Being given an electronic key tag for the front door saved having to master a keyboard or sort out keys

We stayed 13th to 15th October . We had room 6 lovely top floor room lovely touch 2 seats by the window with binoculars lovely view of the harbour . Not far from the whale boneslovely touches of a fridge and coffee tray . Bathroom beautiful with complimentary toiletries.Tea and coffee tray filled up just leave outside door in the morning.Parking permits from hotel 2 pounds for 4 days We parked right outside hotel in a W zone .Hosts available if needed .lovely place

First time staying at my namesake so I had to book when I found it and it didn’t disappoint. Mark was really helpful on our arrival and helped us with parking. The room was lovely and roomy and the location is perfect. I think the guesthouse is real value for money and I would stay again.

Very friendly, very clean, couldn't wish for anything better, perfect location, will definitely go back.

Me and my partner Phil enjoyed a lovely weekend at Lavinia House situated on East Crescent overlooking the harbour. Our hosts were very welcoming and issued our parking permits and ensured we we parked correctly which is a must in Whitby! The room was delightful and spotlessly clean, we had a small fridge also which was handy for drinks, we had everything we needed for a relaxing stay, they don’t do breakfasts it’s bed only which is another reason we stayed as I find it quite regimented to get up at a certain time to eat,l. The town is just a short walk away five minutes onto the seafront! I highly recommend this delightful guest house and hosts Mark and Lynsey x oh and the shower is amazing!! We will definitely return for another visit x

Great location , lovely views from our room , room7 .Very comfortable and clean, friendly helpful hosts .Comfy bed and lovely towels, ironing board and iron on each floor.Would return again thank you

Clean rooms and staff are very polite

This is our 3rd yr coming to whitby and our 3rd Yr staying at lavinia house. As usual fantastic, comfy, clean rooms and Lyndsey & Mark brilliant hosts.See you next year xx

Very cosy, very clean.Lovely view from our bedroom window of the harbour.Also very private... no one bothers you.A good location for seeing the sites.

5 out of 5 for cleanliness. Everything was as per the website and more. Couldn't fault anything and already recommended the Lavinia to friends. Thank you.

We would just like to say we enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family and you will be seeing us again

Easy to find, only about 15 minute walk from Bus Station (quite steep)-good views. Spacious, clean, fridge and coffee/tea, welcoming.

Excellent place to stay,very good position for all amenities.A very clean and quiet place to stay, would recommend it for anyone looking for a place to stay in Whitby.

We both love this little gem it’s extremely clean an tidy mark an Lindsay are very welcoming on arrival booked room 2 this time room’s beautiful lots of room very very tidy an perfect for our stay would definitely recommend this place we both love it an can’t wait to return next year

The room was cosy and inviting. The harbor front was only a 5 min walk from the front door. Room also provided a great sea view. Staff were friendly and helpful.

On arrival the host was very welcoming .The room was very nice and exceptionally clean .The bed was very comfortable and facilities were good. It was room onlyaccommodationso very helpful tobe providedwith a list of possible places to eat .It was very quiet with no traffic noise so very relaxing . I would not hesitate to rebook this hotel and would definitely recommend it to others.

We loved everything about this stay, from the text to greet us and information on where to park and how to get in, to the owners greeting us and making sure we didn’t want for anything and knew where to go or what to do. The room was lovely and clean and the drinks station was topped up every morning if required. Would love to stay here again. Thank you :)

Another fantastic stay. Great owners. Very clean pleasant room. Hopefully be back next year.

Stayed here last weekend. Lovely clean comfortable room. Hospitality tray replenished at your request. Very friendly owners. Convenient to centre of town , will definitely be back. Good value for money. Thanks for a lovely stay

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Lavinia House, great location, a lovely room and our host Lyndsey was brilliant, nothing was ever to much trouble. 5 star all round and we will definitely go back to Lavinia House.

My wife and I like short stay UK breaks and thought Whitby looked like an interesting location to visit. I spent quite a bit of time looking at various websites and accommodation in and around Whitby. When I found Lavinia House I wasn't too sure as it was room only, but after a bit more research, I found there were plenty of restaurants near-by. I made our booking through the hotel website which was very smooth and efficient. We were lucky enough to get the last available room for our four night stay. Room 8 is at the top of 40 stairs (not counting the nine up to the front door). This wasn't a problem for us and it shouldn't be a problem for any visitor to Whitby. There's virtually nowhere flat there. You are constantly up and down hills and steps everywhere. Lavinia House is in an excellent location set in a crescent of period properties. 2 minutes walk down to the quayside (5 minutes back LOL). We found all the short-cuts through the 'snickets'. Round the quayside in the evening it can be quite busy but just up the hill at Lavinia House it's really quite peaceful and quiet. Room 8 is on the top floor at the back of the property and overlooks the town and inner harbour with the countryside behind that. The room is spacious and well laid out with all the usual tea/coffee etc. (Refreshed whenever we placed our tray outside our door). We had a decent sized ensuite complete with plenty of towels. It was also spotlessly clean. We live on the opposite side of the country and on the way, our car broke down. We had to be recovered back home, so contacted Lavinia and kept them informed of our situation. The following day, our car was repaired and we made our way back over the Pennines, again maintaining contact with Lyndsey. On our arrival, Lyndsey met us and helped with our bags before sorting out our four day visitor parking permit. Would we visit Whitby again? Yes. Would we stop at Lavinia House again? Absolutely.

The accommodation is pristine,it's cleanliness and quality cannot be faulted.Lindsey and Mark couldn't be more helpful.The location and views are great.We have stayed before and will certainly stay again.

Had a lovely long weekend in whitby. Lovely clean room with fantastic views. Perfect location. Lovely hosts. Would definitely recomend staying at lavinia house. Look forward to staying again.

Lovely place,would 100% recommend very comfortable and clean. Great place to recharge.

Enjoyed r stay at lavinia house first time for us very clean and tidy would recommend it to anyone staff were fantastic would book again

Fab view looking out to see along the harbour We could even see the whale bones.Very, very clean. The hosts we lovely and very helpful and on the end of the phone if needed.

We enjoyed our stay at Lavinia house it was spotless and our hosts where very helpful lyndsey even help us with parking will definitely be going back .

lyndsey and mark are a brilliant couple of hosts room was lovely and you are made too feel very welcome had a lovely time already rebooked to come backin October

The cleanest place we have ever stayed. Lovely couple running it. Easy to get to town. We will be staying again

It is as good as you would think, Lynsey & Mark have put a lot of effort in making this guest house nice and comfy, our room even had a small chiller to keep our water & canned drinks cool to take out with us during the day. This was our 2nd visit both on Andreas birthdays ! Yes she likes Whitby

We had a lovely large harbour view room here at Lavinia House, the king size bed was very comfortable and the leather chairs lovely to relax on especially when it's torrential rain (which it was for most of the weekend).We will definitely be back as we spend a lot of time here in Whitby.

It was a lovely place to stay..great location and very peaceful. Lavinia House is spotlessly clean and the hostsyndsey and Mark were lovely. Great value for money too. Highly recommended.

Absolutely superb accomodation,can't fault it.Lovely bright,spotlessly clean room with en suite. At the time we were there,parking was at a premium due to a film crew working on the street,but Mark sorted us out with a parking permit and showed us the best place to leave the car. The lovely couple running the place can't do enough for you and hopefully we will return later in the year

I really enjoyed my stay big thank you to Lindsay one of the hosts, she was friendly and helpful and me feel welcome. My room was very clean and comfortable lots off little touches I wasn’t expecting a hairdryer but there was one the hospitality try was well stocked and I was told to leave the tray or my mineral water empty bottle outside the door and it would be replenished.

We were there for three nights the room was ammaculate the couple who run the accommodation were really nice nothing was too much trouble we even had a little fridge sitting inside the wardrobe which was really handy to put some drinks in and a hairdryer tea coffee milk sugar if you wanted anything replacing such as condiments or clean towels you just had to askMy self and my husband are 6ft 2 and 6ft 5 so the bed is important for comfort it’s one of the best beds we have slept in .we will definitely be back and it was in a nice area very quiet

1. Brilliant location. It’s over the bridge (short walk) from the castle etc but right near the little town centre and whale arch,amenties close and everything2. Lovely views3. Hotel is really nice. Really friendly owners.Very welcoming. Helped us accommodate our bikes which is really go cos have otherwise had to keep them in the car.4. Room was nice. No complaints at all. Wi-Fi signal good. Drinks fridge nice touch. Looks new5. Info book about the area in room and restaurants and cafes etc6. I was worried about the parking but it was fine. If there’s none in front of hotel because it’s busy there’s plenty elsewhere. 4 day scratch card is £2 - really good. We went late June so don’t know what it’s like in the summer. There’s a car park nearby anyway.5. No breakfast suited us cos we can get what we want when we wanted it. There’s so many places nearby anyway and you can have what you want 😊Thank you Lynsey and Mark 😊

Our room was spacious, airy, had all the facilities we required plus a lovely shower room and loads storage. A perfect view over the harbour and estuary from the window seat and everything was spotlessly clean. The owners were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble, highly recommended to anyone.

Lyndsey and Mark met us on arrival, they were so welcoming and friendly. Lyndsey explained how local parking worked and was so helpful. The hotel and our room and en suit was spotless, the bed was so comfortable and the pillows and crisp spotless bedding was a joy. Location is just a 5 minute from the harbour and bars. Overall couldn't have received better hospitality in a lovely establishmentcan highly recommend

Spot on accommodation. Great location, clean and comfortable accommodation. No fuss with help on hand if needed. We got parked outside of the premises and everything was within easy walking distance. Quiet and stunning views. We’ll be back

Hotel was spotless.it was apparently the smallest room but for us it was ok.slept like a baby..Lyndsey was amazing(Mark we.never met) nothing was too much trouble..she even gave us a later checkout due to it being my husband's bday the day before..wasn't a pretty sight..lol.hotel in a quiet part of the town..defo visit again..

Enjoyed our time at the guest house really clean and tidy and in a great location we are booking again for a few months time

This is our second stay and I have to say it’s a fabulous guest house clean and on our 2nd visit I chose the same room even though it’s small I love it and love the view, as always a warm welcome great location I would highly recommend. Bed is very comfortable well done Lavina House

another excellent stay very welcoming very clean and warm feal never disappointed will definitely be staying again

Lovely clean warm guesthouse, nice aroma. Nice touch with binoculars in room for sea view. The information folder for lavinia house and the whitby area was 2nd to none absolutely brilliant.

lavinia house far exeeded what we expected. well run, clean, fantastic sea view and just a stones throw from just about everything whitby has to offer. lindsey went well out of her way to make it a perfect getaway. we are regular visitors to whitby and have stayed at various guest houses over the years and lavinia is up there with the nicest.

Booked to stay for 2 nights Friday 31/03/23 to Sunday 02/04/23 arriving at my destination was greated by the lady of the guest house who was very helpful couldn't fault anything with my stay at the lavinia guest house definitely stay again

Lavinia House?-situated in the perfect spot in Whitby town.Excellent accommodation for any length of stay.

This was our second stay in Lavinia House. we came last year for my birthday and 'r lass said she'd like to go back for her's because it made such a good impression. The room was immaculate,a good size, comfortable and quiet importantly for spring WARM. While laying on the extremely comfortable king size four poster bed I was musing if it would be possible is sneak it out in our bags and take it home 😄

Stayed for 2 nights 24th of May. Room’s comfortable and clean, Hosts Mark and Lindsay very friendly. Had a very nice stay would definitely recommend

Perfect location. Everything we could have wanted from a guest house.

We had a brilliant stay at Lavinia House the place was spotless and very comfortable.The host was extremely helpful and would definitely stay again if we can get in!Thank you!

Second stay here and won't be the last. Always lovely and cosy, friendly and super helpful. Great view of the harbour too!

Very clean and tidy room friendly and helpful staff will be going back again

We stayed for 3 nights in room 8 which was a lovely big room. Everything was spotless and finished to a very high standard. The hosts were friendly and helpful and we would definitely return.

We had a lovely two night stay. The room was small but was great for a short break. We had everything we needed and more: hair dryer, iron and ironing board, telly, tea and coffee making facility, a fridge and even a pair of binoculars to help us enjoy the sea view. Everything, including the en suite bathroom, was beautifully clean. I’m sure we will be visiting again.

Lyndsey and Mark are a wonderful couple, and I really enjoyed my stayThe room was very comfortable and clean, and although I had a seperate bathroomit was not a problem.The property is situated very close to The Royal Hotel and a very short walk into the Town Centre.Breakfast was not available but therewas a mini fridge in the room, and a Kettle with teas, coffee and milk. Not having to get5 up for breakfast meantI could have a lie in.I can highly recommend staying here as tye accomadation is to a very highstandard.I was able to park just round the corner for £2.00 with a scratch card which obtained from Lyndsey and that was parking for up to 5 days.

It is first time we have stayed here and will 100% be staying again:) very friendly and immaculate,smelt beautiful walking in xx

Me and my partner had never been to whitby before, the room was stunning, very clean and beautiful views from our room! Will definitely come again

We had an amazing three night stay, we usually stay with breakfast included so were a little unsure but there were plenty of options available locally for food. The room was well equippedwith luxury touches and the fridge was a bonus. The owners were helpful andfriendly. Excellent hygiene with a no contact room refresh daily. A really lovely stay. Thank you.

This is accommodation I’d recommend. Even before our visit, the smooth booking process gave me confidence in a hassle-free holiday. We found the accommodation easily (relying on sat-nav) & Lyndsey had sent details of the straightforward check in process. We easily found a parking spot close by & used the scratch card provided.The guesthouse is close enough to the centre for convenience, yet far enough away to ensure an uninterrupted night’s sleep.We stayed in Room 8 on the top floor, which had far-reaching views & binoculars were thoughtfullyprovided to make the most of them.The room was immaculate & very comfortable.We’ll be rebooking for next year!

Proprietors Mark & Lyndsey were waiting outside to give us a warm welcome when we arrived; we parked nearby in a space Mark had kept for us with parking permit they'd arranged in advance for our week's stay.. They took our cases to our room which was spotlessly clean, a generous size & well equipped; everything in our room worked just as it was meant to. Comfortable bed & easy chairs. Coffee, tea, milk & good quality biscuits were renewed whenever required. Communal areas were invariably clean & tidy too. Easy access to quayside within 5 minutes & the rest of Whitby in little more. For the 2 of us Lavinia House was an absolutely perfect place to stay & we'd highly recommend it. Chris & Angela.

Our 6th stay at Lavinia House speaks for itself. Spotless well Decorated and Furnished Guest House. Lovely hosts very friendly and welcoming in Lyndsey and Mark. Very comfortable bed. Very nice clean room. Whenever we intend to Holiday in Whitby again this is where we will stay. Worth 5 Stars and more!

When we arrived we were very warmly greeted by both Lyndsey and Mark and showed to our room which was exactly as described on the website. The room was immaculately presented with all the home comforts provided which even included a pair of binoculars to explore the sea view. Nothing was too much trouble and we will definitely be returning and staying again with the hosts. Thank you very much for a very pleasant and thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Me and my boyfriend have stayed at the lavinia house hotel 3 times now and all been amazing we love staying there. The owners are so friendly and welcoming. The room we stayed in is so comfortable. We will be staying at lavinia house again.

Great experience and lovely room especially the window seat for 2 with the beatiful view, we often came back from town with a picnic and sat people watching and brilliant providing binoculars to watch the boats, it's the little things like that that make the difference and Mark was nice and friendly, recommended already to other friends and we'll definitely go back.

Room lovely and clean. Location perfect near whalebone arch and just up from town centre.Hosts Lyndsey & Mark lovely and couldn't be more accommodating.

Lyndsey was very welcoming & made sure we had everything we needed for our stay, our room was spacious & clean with a great view of the town & river esk & in a great location on east crescent with the added bonus of a parking permit for four days.

Lyndsey is the perfect hostess...so helpful and made us feel very welcome as well as giving us advice on the car parking, best places to go for breakfast and just a very lovely lady who looked after our every need whilst there. Would thoroughly recommend anyone to stay here. Literally stones throw from beach and all the eating establishments. We all had a brilliant time.

Lovely enjoyable stay. Room perfect for 2 adults with everything available. Sea view was better than expected. Hostess very efficient and helpful also very welcoming.

Lavinia House is an excellent place to stay for a Whitby holiday. It is located up a hill only 5 minutes from the waterfront. Our room was spacious enough for two, with complimentary hot drinks, biscuits and bottled water. One tip: book direct for the best rates for this well run guest house. Thanks Mark and Lyndsey.

Very nice room. The owner went out of her way to be helpful. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. Very handy for the town and harbour. We would recommend.

Lavinia House exceeded all expectations. From being able to let ourselves in and settle in our room to the wonderful facilities on offer. The room was immaculate and to a high standard. The fridge and binoculars were fantastic and unexpected additions. The folder containing information was fantastic and the list of nearby restaurants with reviews was really helpful and a nice touch. I would definitely visit again and will be highly recommending it to friends.

This was our second visit to Lavinia House in the last 2 months and again we were not dissapointed. The location is excellent, the room was first class and the cleanliness and sevice second to none. We will be returning soon.

Faultless, perfectly positioned for all the sights and sounds that Whitby has to offer, lovely room, very comfortable bed would definitley use again and very highly recommended.

This Guest House is a perfect place to stay beautifully located in a quite semi circle of buildings all over looking the see and Abbey.My room was spotlessly clean with comfy bed and en-suite.Perfect for a few days break.Lyndsay and Mark are perfect hosts, will do anything for you and know the area well so happy to give advice on where to go and which pubs to visit!

I had a wonderful stay at Lavinia House. The single room was very comfortable, and much nicer than I was expecting. Plenty of space for me and my things, and I loved having the recliner chair as well so I didn't just have to sit on the bed. Excellent location, and Mark was very helpful in giving me restaurant recommendations. I'll definitely be back again!

Lovely view (loved the binoculars)Fab room clean and comfortable, lovely location will definitely be back

The room was perfect. Bed extremely comfortable, room was spotless and the view was outstanding. Overall excellent.

Lavinia is situated in a first class location and we had somewhere to park. Lyndsey was so friendly and welcoming. We would definitely recommend Lavinia and hope to stay again soon

First class accommodation in a great central location. The four poster bed was very comfortable with quality bedding, terrific fluffy towels and tea, coffee , biscuits and bottled water supplied in a spotless and well presented room.

Just back home after a fantastic weekend staying at Lavinia House. First impressions count for a lot, and here it couldn’t have been any better. We were met at the door and welcomed like a old friend. The immediate impression we got was that nothing was too much trouble.The room was excellent, and if I’m being honest the photos don’t do it justice. It was also spotless, can’t recommend it enough.Can’t wait to return.

Lovely accommodation very clean and comfortable in a excellent location. Host was very polite and friendly.

Spotless interiors, nicely decorated and modern, very quiet and relaxing atmosphere and so close to the centre and the sea front as well, perfect location! As it was January I didn't struggle with parking and Lyndsey kindly provided scratch cards for the duration of my stay. She was very friendly and welcoming, she gave me all the information I needed.I will definitely book again when in the area!

Enjoyed our stay very much. Very nice large room at top of the house .Parked right outside.Met all our needs. Great location & sea view. Thankyou for welcoming us both and we will be back hopefully again sometime laterthis year.

Very warm , comfortable, clean , welcoming place to stay .Lovely house , only 6-7 mins walk into centre of Whitby .

Had a brilliant time in Whitby. Loved staying here, can’t fault the place. We will definitely be back.

Fabulous stay in Lavinia guest house, will definitely visit again, lovely room & Lyndsey is a lovely host, on hand if anything was needed. Beautiful huge four poster bed, firm mattress which we found extremely comfortable, plenty of room in the room, room 3 which is a sea view room, nice bathroom with bath & shower over bath & toiletries included.Lavinia guest house is in a prime location, a stones throw from the whale bones & a 5 min walk if that into town.Everything was just perfect! had the best New Year in Whitby.Another recommendation is for breakfast (as Lavinia house doesn’t serve breakfastbut we like to go out anyway) & that is for the Singing Kettle near Wetherspoons, quite frankly it is the best breakfast we’ve had for quality & value for money £6 for full English with a drink, toast & bread & butter included…. You will not leave hungry 😋

We really enjoyed our stay at Lavinia House. We received a warm and friendly welcome. Our room was large and very comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble eg the host happily supplied us with a thinner douvet when the winter duvet proved to be too warm for us. Enjoyed the view over the Esk, the old town and hills beyond. Thank you again Janet and dave

Lovely clean spacious roomGood location and friendly staff

We had a lovely time in Whitby this guest house is in walking distance to the centre and the beach. We stayed in a small double room which was very clean, the only down side for us was that the mattress (dreams - good qualitymake) but was too firm for us and could do with a memory foam topper as we found it uncomfortable and woke up aching everywhere but each to there own.... the owner was very nice and accommodated us with more tea n milk when requested and we got a parking permit for the 3 days we visited at only £2 well worth it! also there was a very useful information book with best places to eat and visit etc . Would visit again but try and book in advance for a four poster bed and sea view next time! Thanks again x

First time in Whitby and we had a really lovely time.Excellent hotel that had everything we needed,spotlessly cleanand good value for money .Thank you and would definitely come again.

Spotlessly clean lovely room fantastic view very friendly had a lovely time definitely be back

Good location, we parked a short distance away due to parking being busy.Close to everything, great recommendations from owners if local places to eat, humble pie shop, trenches fish n chip shop and abbey brewery our favourites.The room had four poster bed and was nicely decorated.Had two good night sleeps.My only negative would be room 2 shower quite high off floor and toilet seat banged when sat on.Tea n coffee was left with bottle of water but could have done with replenishing day 2.Would definatley recommend and stay again, loved the weekend.

It is a lovely clean and comforting hotel with a very friendly atmosphere. We were welcomed by Lyndsay and our stay was very relaxing and restful. A very quiet hotel. We will definetly be returning.

Lovely place to stay to explore Whitby ideally placed to reach everywhere but you will be walking up hills! Excellent parking scheme too. The room was fantastic and the owners couldn't be more accommodating.

Wonderful stay, very welcoming hosts, room amazing. Would definately return.. Thankyou

Me and my daughter stayed in a double room, the room was immaculate, everything in it we needed for our stay. Mark and Lyndsey are great hosts and we're always on hand if I had any questions. Great location, I will definitely be back and would recommend it others.

Wed like to say thank you to the Patrins of Lavinia House, for the excellent stay. The room and views were excellent everywhere was clean and tidy you just needed to ask and your query was dealt with immediately. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for first class accommodation in Whitby to book there. We will be going back there in the futre.

Exactly what we wanted lovely clean room ,stunning sea view even some courtesy binoculars for you to use,nice touch.the host Louise never bothered us but when I needed some ice packs freezing a quick phone call and it was immediately taken care of.i would definitely recommend Lavinia house and will stay there again.

Beautiful room, spotessly clean. Little touches like a pair of binoculars in the room which overlooked the harbour. Lyndsey and Mark were super friendly and couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. Very highly recommended, and we will be back.

We have stayed at Lavinia House on 3 previous occasions & have had the same room, which is very comfortable, with views overlooking the harbour. It is situated in a crescent which is quiet, away from the bustling crowds. Parking can be sometimes difficult, depending on the time of day, even with a permit supplied by the owners.The only real downside this visit, is that breakfast is no longer supplied, which we really used to look forward to, as it set us up for the rest of the day. Having said that, it has not put us off returning to this house in the future.

Great guest house, Lyndsey could not have done any more for us, lovely immaculate room,the guest house is in a great location with fabulous views, would highly recommend.

We were given a very warm welcome by the owners Lindsey and Mark who explained all the necessary details when we arrived.They gave us a parking permit which was an added bonus.Our room had a lovely sea view and was spotless as was the rest of the hotel.If we needed anything we just had to ask.Nothing was too much for them.All in all we had a great time and will definitely return.

The Lavinia House is ideally suited for walking to and from the town centre. The room we used was fabulous and spotless clean, all we had to do was ask and replacement towels, coffee and tea were there in 5 minutes.We would definitely use this accommodation again when we return to Whitby

Excellent accommodation, well presented, friendly helpful hosts, would recommend.

We was a group of 4 adults, stayed in room 3 and 4. Cannot fault the rooms in anyway. The staff was great, we shall be back in the future, we have booked a apartment in November so the kids can experience Whitby! Beautiful hotel and whitby is breath taking. Love it.

We arrived early to find out the room was ready Which was greatly appreciated.we were helped with the parking then told to ask if there was anything else,all the information to eat out was at hand.The view from the hotel room was amazing.We will definitely be coming back.

The guest house was in a ideal location for walking to the beach, Whale bone and west cliff promenade, also within easy walking distance of the main town and swing bridge and old town and abbey. The room was very comfortable for a single person, very clean n tidy, comfy bed and chair for relaxing in an evening. The whole place was very tidy and clean and all guests respected others personal space and was very quiet. The owner couldn't have been more welcoming moving their own car from a parking space close by allowing me to park up within a few yards of the front door. All in all great place to stay and I will be returning.

On arrival we were pleasantly greeted at the door and helped to find a parking place. Our room was spotless big spacious and everything we wanted and more was available on hand. Hosts couldn’t be nicer.Excellent value, perfect position defo recommended.

Great accommodation lovely big bed everywhere was very clean and tidy and a great sea view from our room. I would thoroughly recommend this guest house.

the room and facilities were just what we were looking for, Lyndsey was really helpful responding quickly to the smallest request. Living 80 miles from a coast having a sea view made it

Really enjoyed our 2 day stay

Just spent 4days 17th august-21st at the Lavinia hotel king for poster bed was so comfy hotel was absolutely spotless could not fault it we had a sea view to location was central to everything would definitely go back and recommend it 10 out of 10 thankyou so much for haveing us x

So glad to have found this treat in Whitby. Stayed four four nights in July and would definitely return. Fab large room with additional window seating, which was lovely after a long day exploring. The addition of a fridge enabled us to have the wine chilling for our return. Very clean,great location and an mattress to aid a great nights sleep. Parking not a problem thanks to owners and permit. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely place to stay in whitby in a fantastic location. The room was great with everything we needed. Welcoming hosts and great value for money. Would definitely stay again!

Lovely stay. Excellent accommodation. Very clean. Lovely hosts. Will definitely be staying again

We really enjoyed our stay at Lavinia House. The owner Lyndsey was very welcoming and friendly. The place was very beautiful and the room was gorgeous. It was spotlessly clean throughout and the bed was very comfortable to enjoy a good night's sleep. Whitby itself is a fantastic place to visit with lots going on to enjoy - will definitely return and stay at Lavinia House again. Thank you!!

Brilliant couple of nights here in the single room- spotlessly clean and had everything you need for a very comfortable stay.Lyndsey was an absolutely wonderful host- incredibly helpful, friendly, and welcoming. Had such a lovely stay so will definitely be returning!

We had a very pleasant stay at Lavinia house.Our hosts were very friendly & welcoming & helped us to get parked when we were struggling to find somewhere.Our accommodation although compact was very clean & had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable.We would happily stay here again.

Fantastic stay in an ideal location for shops and beautiful view points on harbour. Spotlessly clean.. Safe.. And super helpful hosts A+

We had a wonderful stay at Lavinia, it's hosts are charming and the views looking over towards the sea are magnificent.We will return.

Our first time in Whitby and had a great 3 day stay. Our room was spotless and comfortable with the added bonus of a small fridge. The guest house is in a great location just a short walk from from shops, resturants etc. Would definitely stay there again.

We stayed at Lavinia House for 3 nights. The guest house is spotlessly clean. Facilities are first class. It is centrally located, so getting around was really easy. We wound not hesitate to stay again. If you are looking for accommodation at a very reasonable price, we would heartily recommend Lavinia House.

Lovely guest house, friendly staff, spotlessly clean, ideal location with the town centre just a few minutes walk away, great views of the town. Would highly recommend staying here if you are visiting Whitby.

Partner and I had 3night stay here, what a perfect location! Had king room with lovely sea view. Room was so clean, spacious and had a nice bathroom. The owners where amazing and so welcoming, helped us with parking on arrival, so no stress!!No breakfast but lots of options, short distance, in the town for meals. Definitely would stay again.

Arrived at the property outside was lovely and clean.Lynsey our host greeted us with all Covid secure measures in place.our room was on the top floor which was a struggle for me as I have a disability but had not pre warned the host .so took full responsibility for this.Room was spotless clean beautifully furnished and lovely view over the harbour. Was not disturbed at all the house was quiet we had a lie in Saturday morning and this was great. Bathroom was well stocked with everything needed and the shower was excellent.Thank you so much for a lush chilled out weekend

Had a lovely short stay with my wife. The room was fantastic, amazing views and full of nice touches. The whole place was spotless and hosts couldn't do enough for you. Highly recommended and will definitely be returning.

Fantastic accommodation. Lyndsey was so helpful and friendly as a host, the room was totally spotless, and in a great location. I would recommend Lavinia House to anyone without hesitation, absolutely faultless.

Great little short stay of 2 nights. Roomwas comfortable,clean, and with a great view over the harbour and out to sea. The little window seats were a great touch. Mark and Lyndsey were excellent hosts- clear instructions for arrival and check in, and even moved their car so we could have an easy parking spot whilst there. We would definitely book again!

We stayed here for 3 nights whilst visiting whitby. We were made to feel very welcome and supported by Lyndsey, especially when it came to the parking! The room was small and cosy and very clean. We had our tea and biscuit tray filled daily. The location was brilliant and we will certainly stay here again. I cant fault the Lavinia.

Lovely clean and comfortable stay, at a very fair price. Great location and super helpful and friendly host.

We had a lovely stay at Lavinia House,A very warm welcome on our arrival from Lyndsey and Mark andnothing seemed too much trouble for them . Our room was immaculate with a beautiful view of the sea , it felt very clean and had good quality bed linen and towels.Refreshment tray was well stocked and refilled on request.Great location as close proximity to Whitby centre just a short walk downhill.All in all we will definitely book with Lavinia House on our next visit to Whitby .

Lavinia House is a perfect place to stay in an excellent location. Lovely sea views from our spotless room (Room 2) which had everything you need. We felt very safe and welcome here by the helpful hosts, Lyndsey and Mark, who also recommended The Blitz Restaurant; we ate there on two evenings. We would most definitely return here. Thank you!

Decided to go on a last minute weekend away to Whitby and chose Lavinia house as our bolt hole.. guest house owners where warm and welcoming from the get go! Room was absolutely spotless with fantastic sea views, we will be visiting again very soon! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Really clean room. Ideal for a few days. Parking was a bit short but Lyndsey moved her car straight away for us to park. Would recommend to anybody who is going to Whitby. Thank you for a great place to stay

We arrived at Lavinia House on Sunday the 13th for a two night stay.We stayed in Room 3 and it was a beautiful room, it was only overshadowed by the magnificent view from the two very large windows.Lyndsay and her husband are a lovely couple, very helpful and courteous.Hope to revisit Whitby in the next couple of months and would most definitely stay again.

Stayed at Lavinia for 2 nightsThe location is brilliant just a short walk up hill from the harbour. Our room was lovely and homely and exceptionally clean with a lovely sea view ( binoculars included). Thank you to Lyndsey & Mark for making us welcome xx

Had an amazing couple of days at Lavinia houseLynsey was a great host nothing was too much trouble and anything I enquired about was answered immediately room was clean and spacious and would definitely stay there again

I would not hesitate in recommending Lavinia House. Nothing is too much trouble for Lyndsey & Mark, great location and very clean. It’s a must to stay here.

Perfect location with views and great shortcut to get straight into heart of Whitby.

We enjoyed our 2 night stay in Room 7, Lavinia House which is in a great central location. The room was furnished well and was spotlessly clean.We loved the amazing sea view from our window in room 7 on the top floor.We were provided with a selection of toiletries and drinks which was a nice touch.The ensuite bathroom was a good size.The only improvement to the room would have been a bit larger TV as the one in the room is quite small.Overall we had an excellent break in Whitby.

As usual the Lavinia was amazing and the new owners couldn't do any more to make our stay any better. Loved it

We were in room 6 which was on the top floor and had a beautiful view of the sea. The room was immaculate and had everything you could need including toiletries and your own hand sanitiser. Lyndsey was a perfect hostess and nothing was too much trouble. The only minus point was that we found the bed too firm but this might suit others.

Was booked as a little getaway for my husbands birthday had to reschedule due to covid so had to change rooms from the beautiful luxurious 3 to a more homely and beautiful 4....next time 3 you will be ours! We have had a lovely time.. friendly and welcoming owners so thank you to you both for giving us this opportunity after a hellish year for everyone!

Hi it was exceptionally clean, location was very good, very helpful and friendly hosts, wouldn’t hesitate to stay again, would definitely recommend.

Me and my wife had a fantastic time lovely room and great service can not wait to go back ????????

What a fantastic guest house this is,lyndsey and Mark who own this place will do anything they can to make your stay perfect nothing is to much trouble highly recommended a stay here, we will be going backDenise and mark

Everything was catered for in these unpredictable times many thanks.

The room, whilst small was very comfortable and had everything that you'd need. It was cosy and warm, as the heating was on which was needed and nice!The bed was very comfortable and was obviously a decent mattress.I was greeted in a friendly and helpful manner. Lovely people.

We really loved every minute of our stay. The view from the hotel room and as soon as you walk outside was unbeatable. We loved Lyndsey, she was so kind and helpful and very welcoming. She answered any questions we had. We thought the facilities were very good too, the only thing is that we would’ve preferred the shower to be able to be a little bit more powerful and hot

Pleasant stay as usual, 5th visit. New owners are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean and comfortable with great views. The only downside was breakfast is no longer served but the price reflected this and excellent tearoom 5 minutes away.

Very nice and comfortable and clean location excellent the owners couldn’t do enough for you

Our first stay at Lavinia and won’t be our last, lovely room with a gorgeous view, clean & comfortable, Lyndsey went out of her way to secure a parking place for us, b & b in walking distance to all the amities and tourist attractions. Missed a fry up for breakfast. (Covid 19 restrictionists) but fount a cafe not to far away.

Extremely comfortable room in a great house in a great location. Very easy walk into the town center.

I loved this B&B. Sizeable but cosy room. Comfy bed, good shower. Left alone whilst feeling that asking for anything was no trouble. Couldn't have a better place to stay and I'll definitely be back.

Absolutely beautiful hotel, we had a room with a sea view at it couldn't be beaten. Lyndsey the lady who runs the hotel was so nice,nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be returning to the hotel.

We stayed 2 nights in the Lavinia and had a fantastic timeLyndsey and her husband could not have been more helpful even moving there own car to enable us to park in front of the hotelThe hotel was very clean, the room was brilliant and the views stunningI would definitely recommend itEugene & BridieWiganAugust 2920

First class

Lovely clean comfortable apartment very close to heart of Whitby, would recommend staying.

We had a fabulous stay in Whitby this week. Lavinia House is in a wonderful location right outside the front door de fantastic views. Our room was cosy and super clean. We will definitely be coming back!

Lavinia House is a lovely guest house in an excellent location. Lyndsey is a wonderful host, we had a lovely time staying in Whitby.

Beautiful room , location was excellent and nice attention to detail in the rooms. Thank you both for an enjoyable stay.

Very welcoming guest house, the room was perfect with everything needed for a short break, from a very comfortable bed, tea and coffee making facilities, well decorated room. Would highly recommend

Lovely spotless guesthouse. Owners were great. made sure we were settled ok and had everything we needed. bottle of wine and a card on arrival for anniversary was lovely surpprise.no food ot servicing of room.(covid). But had plans in place if u needed anything.room 3 bit more expensive but so worth it. Had a fantastic stay and whitby is a nice place to visit.

The Lavinia Hotel was very clean & the room was very comfortable. The staff were very helpful.

Brilliant hotel,lovely little view.as there was no cleaning due to COVID,we had to leave the tray outside the door when we wanted It replenishing.bag the towels up if we wanted clean towels,was lovely and clean.the host was perfect,nothing was too much trouble.her mobile number was left if you couldn’t get in touch with the office.will defo be returning,thankyou

Fantastic stay at the hotel. Room was lovely and clean. Lyndsey was great, especially in the current climate. She checked us in and we were left to our own devices,But she was always there if we needed anything. I would highly recommend this hotel.

We have stayed at Lavinia House for some years now and have never been disappointed. It is now under new ownership and the standards haven’t slipped. It was a little different due to Covid but at no time did we feel awkward.

Very enjoyable stay for our first time in Whitby. The owners were very hospitable and always on hand if needed. We had a slight worry as we couldn’t get parked up but the owners kindly moved their car so we could park up close to the hotel. Due to current regulations, the rooms were not cleaned on a daily basis however the hotel was spotless! Beautiful sea view topped off with the binoculars in the window. I’m sure we will be back!

We really enjoyed staying at Lavinia House.The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the room was spacious and well equipped for all we needed.The hotel is in a great location and we will definitely return.

The hotel was bright and very clean, the room was very clean and comfortable and had good views of the sea, it was my husbands birthday when we arrived and a card and a bottle of wine was in the room for him, it was a very nice touch, we had a very enjoyable time there.

Lovely stay at Lavinia House. Communication from start to finish was excellent and we felt safe and reassured that all COVID precautions were in place. We arrived early and managed to get a parking space right outside and were met with a very warm welcome.We were very impressed with the lovely room at the top of the house with great views towards the harbour. Everything we could need was in the room and it was clear that it had been prepared to the highest standard in line with all the guidelines.We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back and would stay at Lavinia House again.

Excellent location, very nice room, lovely friendly owners. Very enjoyable .

We have just returned from a 3 day stay at Lavinia House and I 0cannot praise the proprietors enough. They were very welcoming and friendly. The hotel and tooms were absolutely spotless. The facilities were 1st class. In these tryong times they made our stay extremely trouble free. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting a clean, friendly and very comfortable place to stay whether for business, pleasure or professional needs. A round of applause and big thank you to lyndsey for making our stay memorable. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Response

Hi John, thank you for kind words, I\'m glad you enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you in the future.

Very smart and clean room.The view was great.The owners were really helpful.

What a wonderful stay in this beautiful room with an amazing sea view. Just a very short stroll to the very best of Whitby and all it has to offer. The room was stunning and the cleanliness second to none and even not being able to have breakfast did not detract from our enjoyment, in these times it was the right decision not to offer it but I am sure we would not have been disappointed. Just what we needed after 3 months in lockdown.

We had a wonderful 2nights the room was spacious and clean,Lindsey went above and beyond to make our stay memorable,She left wine and bunting for my wife’s Birthday which was a lovely touch nothing was too much trouble because of the times we live in we were unable to sample the breakfast but maybe another time.We would certainly recommend to friends than you Lindsey and Mark .

We enjoyed our stay at Lavinia House. It was very clean throughout, smelt fresh from the entrance. Room was very well presented, comfortable and quiet. Communication with Lyndsey was easy as she responded in no time. The one thing I thought I would miss was having breakfast included, but I didn't because it meant that we could wake up whatever time we wanted. Part of having a break is getting to have a lie-in. Plus, there's plenty of options when it comes to food, all within walking distance. It goes without saying that we will definitely be staying again soon.

Absolutely loved our time staying at Lavinia House. The room was huge, comfortable and exceptionally clean throughout. The owners were incredible and the location is superb with an amazing sea view from our room. We cannot wait to return.

Response

Thank you for such kind words Stuart, we look forward to your return, Lyndsey.

Lovely B&B, really well situated in Whitby. The room was spacious and bright, bed very comfortable, and parking easy.Lyndsey- the owner- went the extra mile to ensure we had a great stay, including happy birthday bunting, card, and wine- which was a lovely extra touch. We'll definitely be back when we return to Whitby in the future- which is going to be sooner, rather than later.

Response

Thanks for such kind words John, we look forward to your return.

We originally wanted room 3 a big seaview room but it was booked out so opted for room 8, a lovely comfortable , light and sunnyroom with views over the town , would definately stay there again

we had a lovely stay as we have had before.Sarah and John made us very welcome,very friendly and nothing to much trouble for there guests.We will be returning next year

Lovely breakfasts and beautiful room. A first class B&B all round.

As regular visitors to Whitby we have stayed at several B&B's and Lavinia is our favourite so far! We prefer the less personal approach which the Lavina offers, thats not to say that Sarah and John are unavailable or unhelpful, they completely are but you are provided a keycode for the door to the B&B so you can get in and pick up your parking permit and room keyand get on with your stay without fuss, we really like this! The B&B is spotless with lots of nice touches and very homely. We stayed in room 2 which has a great four poster bed, a perfect sea view and a really nice touch was the binoculars that are in the room that you can use to look out to sea! Breakfast for us was great, mainly continental with some additional cooked options. We are very happy with this and all the foods for breakfast were very nice and lovely quality. All in all a lovely B&B in a perfect location, we will return!

What a beautifulBed and Breakfast. Rooms 2 and 7. Wonderful views, lovely breakfast, other guests very friendly. Iwbers very nice.All round great place, looking forward to another visit.

Me and my girlfriend stayed in Room 8 on the August bank holiday weekend and had a fantastic time. We stayed in Room 6 last year and just had to come back!Sarah is a fantastic host, such a welcoming and lovely person. Lavinia House makes you feel right at home!Situated on the West Cliff, Lavinia House has exceptional views overlooking Whitby Harbour. Room 8 is set towards the side and had fantastic views overlooking the town.Room 8 is so spacious and lovely me and my girlfriend didn’t want to leave!We absolutely love Whitby and Lavinia House and will definitely stay again next year!Wonderful, 5*.

Lovely stay in this very clean and comfortable b&b in an ideal spot

This is a fab B&B & I would recommend it to anyone.Tasteful decor & very clean, not to mention the views and proximity to all that Whitby has to offer.

We absolutely loved our 2 night stay at Lavinia House. So clean, the room with its 4 poster bed was just perfect. It was my partners birthday so a special treat awaited him of a birthday balloon and a bottle of fizz, which totally surprised him, he loved it! So quiet yet so close to everything. The breakfast was beautiful, so much to choose from. We will definitely stay again.

Has a great stay at Lavina House, Hosts could not be more helpful, spotlessly clean and a compfy Bed.

Loved staying here, really enjoyed our stay lovely and clean very friendly, would recomend this b and b we will return thank you.

Very clean hosts very friendly and helpful lovely sea views

We booked their best room which had a 4 poster bed. It was a wonderful run with a really high ceiling over 12 ft high. They were all so far reaching views across to the sea the whale bones and the statue of James Cook. Another great feature of the room is that the sun never comes through. This was a relief for us because we went to an exceptionally hot time.Parking is right outside the hotel and you're doing a permit which lasts for your duration of your stay and it's free.Your room is not cleaned every day, make a point of this in there instruction booklet. also you have a tiny bottle of shampoo and a tiny bottle of shower gel which needs to last for the duration of your stay. there is also very limited tea and coffee so I suggest you bring your own if you're staying more than one night.Breakfast is in a very pleasant room and you are getting the same table every day. This is because items that you use I left there for you to finish the next day day. For example, if you start a small jar of jam and only use half of it then they will keep the other half for you for the next day. This seemed a bit mean.You don't really get to meet the guest house owners, there is a code to put in for the door door and the only time you get to see the hosts is when breakfast is served which is during a very limited time scale of 8.30 to 9:30 a.m.The room we booked was lovely, and the location is fantastic.The bed is too big and looks old and room decor and linen is a bit dated. It was clean though.We enjoyed our stay very much.

The hotel is in a great location,just a 2 minute walk to the beach and a 2 minute walk down to the harbour. Our room had a lovely view of the harbour, it was very clean and comfortable, couldnt have asked for much more.

this is a fantastic lodging and I highly recommend it.

We stayed here with family and friends for our wedding in Whitby. All the rooms were spotlessly clean and had great views over Whitby. When we arrived the owner brought us flowers and fizz 🍾 this was a lovely surprise. We found the Lavinia to be well located for all the attractions in Whitby and the breakfast was nice with plenty of choice for everyone. We would definitely stay here again. 👍

We have stayed in a few similar hotels but this one certainly comes out as being the best! Very well presented, clean and tidy, descriptions are all spot on, nice staff and is somewhere we would certainly stay again. The only slightly negative item was the slow running shower, but certainly didn't see that as being a problem.

Highly recommend this beautiful spotlessB and B. This breakfast was great and plenty to choose from. The owners couldnt do enough for you. Will be definitely going back.

We've had the most lovely weekend in Whitby for my husband's 60th birthday. Lavinia House was ideally placed in Whitby to enjoy seeing everything. We've all had a really comfortable stay at Lavinia House, the breakfast was excellent and the rooms are so clean. We would definitely stay again. Many thanks.

Whenever we visit Whitby we always stay here at Lavinia House. It is ideally situated in Whitby. The rooms are well appointed, spacious and very comfortable.Sarah and John are excellent hosts and would thoroughly recommend this really superb B&B.

Every thing lovely breakfast beautiful will definitely book again

Very enjoyable stay! Friendly and welcoming, cosy room with an amazing view! Thank you, we hope to be back soon!

Lavinia House is our Home from Home . Having stayed there a number of times now, it really does feel like Home, except we dont have the fantastic views from Room 3 at hone . Sarah & John are the perfect hosts and the entire house is spotlessly clean. We will be back as soon as we are able .

We had a wonderful three nights in Lavinia House. Staying in the king size four poster room, our room felt very luxurious and had marvellous sea views and you could also see St Mary's Church.The hosts are extremely friendly and welcoming, the breakfast was delicious with a good choice including vegetarian option. Soya milk was even provided at our request. The location is also perfect, just a couple of minutes walk from the town centre. All in all, you could not wish for a better place to stay!

A lovely room .spotless .quiet.relaxing atmosphere.hotel central to shops and seafront.breakfast was extremely good.the owners very friendly and obliging.would not hesitate to go back anytime.

Helen and I were very impressed with Lavinia House. Excellent location with a splendid view of the harbour entrance from our (top floor)room.The breakfasts were amazing and the host's were helpful with advice and information about Whitby and the surroundingareas.The location was perfect for exploringthe town and making decisions about what we would do each day."sea looks good lets go for a walk to Sandsend". Highly recomended.Oh and we were able to park right outside.

This place ticked all the boxes. Great location, amazing room, spotlessly clean. Fantastic breakfast. Hope to return again someday. Thanks for making our weekend great.

our 4th time here,clean, homely, good food, will be back

This is the second time we have stayed here & again it was fantastic. John & Sarah are brilliant the rooms are clean & tidy & the breakfast is spot on. I would highly recommend if you are thinking of staying. We will be booking again for next year.

Great location on a quite mini Georgian crescent with easy access to all of Whitby's attractions.Spotless.Good breakfast.Friendly owners.Perfect B&B.

We chose Lavinia house with no knowledge of Whitby. We were thrilled to find Lavinia in the dress circle overlooking the sea. The proximity to the Yellow bus, restaurants and the harbour meant we didn’t need to use our car for the duration of our stay. A big bonus in Whitby. The room was luxuriously well appointed and breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice. Our hosts were welcoming and helpful. A wonderful stay.

Fantastic break once again.If we can't get in at the Lavinia then we don't go to Whitby,it's as good as that.

It was our second visit tjis time with friends briliant rooms and breakfast very well looked after see you again

Had yet another pleasant stay at Lavinia Guest House, always a warm welcome to be had & great breakfast. Fantastic clean rooms, good facilities plus great views as well as beingclose to the beach & the town.Book early to avoid disappointment!Thanks again,John & Sarah

Very comfortable room with fantastic views. Great choice for breakfast, all home cooked and delicious. Our hosts were warm and friendly, and on hand to provide helpful information. Lavinia House was recommended by friends and we would recommend it too !

A very welcoming,clean,comfortableguest house , beautiful rooms and wonderful hostscould not have wished for a nicer3 daysstay would definitely recommend and return , Food was also spot on .

John & Sarah go well out of there way to make sure that everything is perfect for their guests. Great location overlooking the Harbour, comfortable accommodation, spotlessly clean and a lovely full breakfast, made even better by the available choices.

We have just had 2 nights at Lavinia and found the service excellent. The room (3) was lovely with an amazing view over the harbour, huge bed and spotlessly clean. This was our 2nd stay in the last 6 months and will definitely return and also recommend. Great choice of breakfast. 10/10 to John & Sarah

Lovely people, clean room, nice bedding fantastic breakfast, close to everything you want and great views what more could you want!

This is our 3rd stay at this beautiful B&B. It's an outstanding establishment. It's everything that you need when visiting Whitby. The owners are such lovely people and very welcoming. They would go out of their way to make you very welcomed, also leave you to your own selfs. Breakfast! What can I say but... delicious and I good variety. I could go on forever with the compliments for this place but don't take my word for it.... book yourself in as you won't be disappointed.Pair of happy customers that will be revisiting for many more years. Thank you.

We had a lovely 3 night stay at Lavinia House, lovely room, breakfast and convenient location to enjoy Whitby from, we didn't need to use the car during our stay.

EXCELLENT B&B IN ALL ASPECTS

We stayed at Lavinia House on 5th and 6th August 2017.A lovely clean hotel within a very short walk to the main attractions. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice choice for breakfast. Would definitely return to this hotel on my next visit.

Great place, great hosts nothing to much trouble fantastic views and most of all a great big comfey bed!!!

our 3rd stay and perfect as ever,lovely hosts who have found the best breakfast ingredients and stick to them, so you get the food and service that makes you return, beautiful immaculate rooms, a peaceful guest house in a quality location

We have stayed here 5 times now, usually asking for rooms 2 or 3. Friendly and good service. Would recommend

Sarah and John are excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble. All areas extremely clean and tidy and breakfast is outstanding. We stay here every time we visit Whitby and would highly recommend to anyone.

We visit Whitby every year for a couple of days but this was the first time at Lavinia and we will definitely return. Sarah & John were very welcoming, room was lovely with a sea view(room 2) and the breakfast was great. It's a short walk from the front with it's bars and restaurants, an ideal location. Highly recommended

this is a our second stay at Lavinia House and we will definitely be going back again. Room is wonderful (room 2), fabulous views and clean and comfortable. Lovely breakfast and wonderful hosts. Thank you again

Very clean,comfortable,good food,excellent hosts in an ideal location.Once again a very enjoyable stay at this lovely guest house.We will definitely return.Thank you.

Nothing to fault. A lovely family who will go the extra mile. Very clean with excellent breakfast.

Nothing to fault. A lovely family who will go the extra mile. Very clean with excellent breakfast.

Great stay here again. Attractive rooms, perfect location, good value for money. House décor modern and clean. Breakfast just right mixture. John and Sarah helpful without being too fussy. Very enjoyable weekend in Whitby

An excellent breakfast, and comfortable room with a lovely view of the sea.

Another great stay at lavina house. It is such a fab place to stay. Room was lovely and breakfast was very tasty. Very accommodating hosts. We will be back for visit number 3 very soon.

We stayed in room 2 which is on the first floor, it was beautiful everything we needed was in the room. The bed was comfortable and the room was nice and cosy too. We knew we had a sea view but the view was the best we'd ever had it was lovely. The one and only thing that let it down was the bathroom, although adequate it could have done with updating as it didn't have the wow factor like the bedroom itself.The breakfast was good, if you didn't want a full English then there was a little slip of paper that you could fill in the night before indicating what you did actually want. On the second day my wife and I decided to have an alternative. My wife chose a poached egg with an English muffin however when it came it was poached eggs on a slice of toast. Apart from that it was overall a really good weekend. Thankyou. If we come back to Whitby we would love to stay at Lavinia House if they have availability.

Comfortable bed, clean room, excellent breakfast. The location was perfect for us and John and Sarah could not be more friendly and welcoming. Would definitely go back.

Not much to say about Lavinia House other than perfect.This weekend was our sixth stay and we will keep coming back.Would recommend Lavinia House to anyone, In our eyes it is perfect.Paul & Ally

Amazing 4 days room was lovely very clean, breakfast was very nice more than enough to eat Sarah and John were very welcoming we would definitely go back again thankyou William

Excellent accomodation. Lovely seaview,and lovely people.

We have stayed at the Lavinia Guest House before and would always choose to stay here when visiting Whitby. As always we were well looked after and very comfortable during our stay.

We have stayed here 3 times now last room was ROOM 2 and each time has been fantastic. Very clean, comfortable rooms and comfy beds red hot power shower. Breakfast was amazing nothing is too much trouble for Sarah and John. Will not stay anywhere else. Thank you for making us feel welcome yet again.

the rooms are as described and the owners are really friendly and helpful and the breakfasts are very good wide range of choice.Rooms very clean and Lavinia is in a very good location within easy walking of town

This is the third time me and my husband have stayed and we can not fault the place. We will be returning even if is just for the breakfast (salmon & scrambled eggs are to die for, delish!)John & Sarah are more then helpful and keep a lovely b&b.Can't think of a better place to stay while visiting a beautiful place.

Had a wonderful stay. View from our room was beautiful. Owners were accommodating, polite and welcoming. Would definitely visit again in the future.

Our stay at this B&B and we were more than happy with all the facilities and cleanliness - we stayed in room 7 which was well situated with views over West Cliff and the sea/harbour entrance - lovely breakfast and an excellent choice - would certainly stay again whencwe visit Whitby

This was our first visit to Lavinia House.The room was beautiful and the view outstanding. It was a pleasure to return each day to enjoy the room and its views.We were made very welcome and the breakfasts were excellent.We will be returning for sure.

My husband and stayed at Lavinia House for 2 nights.A lovely warm welcome,we were shown us to our room.Really clean.The views overlooking the harbour amazing.The window seat loved it,even binoculars.The breakfast really nice too. Couldn't fault it.Will definately go back.

A well appointed and fantastic residence John and Sarah cant do enough for you welcoming friendly and homely atmosphere Breakfast choices and cooking great Downsides though NOT fault of the family parking is difficult and our stay wasn't long enough Highly recommended and we will be back

Great weekend lovely guesthouse with gorgeous view of Whitby harbour from room 8.

This was our second visit to Lavinia house.We stayed in lovely room 7, which was suited to our needs.It was warm,comfortable and clean room, with a wonderful sea view.The room service, the staff, and the breakfast s, were all of an exceptional standard.The owners Sarah and John were exceptionally helpful and friendly.As per the title, this was our second stay, and hopefully many more to come.The hotel is ideally located, both close to the seafront and the town itself.Once again, a big thank you to the owners, family and staff.Highly recommended.Jim & Syl.

Very friendly and welcoming. Good sized rooms which are clean and well laid out. In a Great location close to the harbour with good views. All in all a pleasure to stay there.

Lovely place to stay, well situated and very pleasant owners.

We enjoyed our stay at Lavinia House. Large bedroom and good breakfast

Stayed here earlier this year. Have been to Whitby many times to stay but this was perfect. Location and welcome just right. Looking forward to next visit

We have returned to Lavinia house for the sixth time and it still gives us the same thrill when we look out of the window at the lovely view over the harbour.

Had a wonderful four nights at the Lavinia. A great place to use as base camp as you explore the beautiful town of Whitby. The room was spotless and the bed was so comfy I tried to get it in my suitcase and bring it home. The full English breakfast was of generous portions and expertly prepared by John who I think is chained to the kitchen and if he's good Sarah lets him out one day a week. Sarah was great as front of house hostess and immediately puts you at ease. Would I come back?? Of course but this time with a bigger suitcase for that bed.

We have stayed here many times; it is excellent all round - food, accommodation, location and friently host. We were in room 8 this time but have also satyed in room 2 and 3.These rooms are out favourites. We will be back.

The Room was very clean and a nice size. The owners made you feel very welcome and nothing was to much trouble. Would recommend and look forward to staying there again.

we stayed at lavinia over the weekend of 17/18 june 2016 . everything was perfect the room was brill & immaculate , breakfast was spot on & our hosts were brill making us very welcome . lavinia is in a ideal location within 5 minutes walk of whitby centre .will definately recomend lavinia house & we will hope to stay there again.

Wonderful place to stay. Breakfast was excellent, Great choice. Very good location to all amenities'

My husband and i stayed at the lavinia for the weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary.the room we stayed in (room 7) was lovely and had a fabulous view of the harbour the owners were both very friendly and polite and helpful ... nothing was too much trouble ... breakfast was amazinga very big choice from juice n cereals to a full englishbreakfast.we will most definately be staying there again

Would happily stay here again! The rooms and facilities are beautiful!! The service and food was excellent and I would recommend this place to anyone!

This was our first time staying with Sarah and John but it will definitely not be our last. Lavinia House is tastefully decorated throughout and spotlessly clean. On our first morning I asked Sarah if they served cream for coffee, which they didn't but Sarah got me some for the next morning. There is everything you could want in the rooms including bathroom products.Our room (2) had a four poster bed and sea view. It was beautiful. Sarah is so friendly and although we only saw John once, he was also very friendly and although they must be very busy they were happy to chat for a few minutes. Will definitely be returning when we take our next Whitby 'fix'.

Had another fantastic weekend at Lavinia, it's such a lovely guest house, so clean and modern, breakfast amazing owners couldn't do enough for you. Will definetly be going back again

This was our fourth stay at lavinia house and as with previous visits was not dissappointed.Lovely welcome,beautiful room and great breakfast.Makes the trip to Whitby an absolute pleasure. We shall return again very soon.

Lovely stay at Lavinia House, room beautiful, owners friendly and welcoming, would definitely stay here again.

A wonderful place to stay with great views of the sea and harbour.Both Sarah and John are terrific hosts and go out of their way to assist in having the best stay possible. Oh and the breakfasts are absolutely fab.What a great place we have already booked to go again.

Just returned from a great couple of days in whitby. We choose Lavinia House because of the great reviews we'd read and were not disappointed. The large room was very comfortable and cosy with great views of the sea and the breakfast choices were delicious, definately recommend the kippers!! Thanks for a lovely stay perfect for our post wedding get away.

we enjoyed a very pleasant stay here.the cleanliness as everything there we found first class.the views from the the room overlook the harbour area so you there is an opportunity for photos.highly recomended with thanks to our hosts.hope to see you again.c.smith.

We stayed at Lavina House from 22nd to 25th aug and our stay was excellent. We stayed in room 7 which was one of the smaller rooms but had everything we needed and with excellent views. Breakfast was fantastic and we can't wait to visit again.Lavina House is spotlessly clean and fresh and friendly and in a great location.

We have stayed at Lavinia House before and were more than happy to return. It is exactly what one might expect from a B&B. We will return in future.

Small B&B in a quite location close to everything.Spotlessly clean with nice fixtures and fittings and tasteful décor.Good breakfast with lots of choice.Would recommend and return without hesitation.

Both myself and my partner really enjoyed our stay at Lavinia House. The room was perfect, and we were provided with tea/coffee/hot chocolate and biscuits as well as shampoo and body wash.Everything was clean and beautifully presented.The breakfast was perhaps my highlight of the stay - the Whitby kippers were excellent, and I was asked whether I would like to have scrambled egg with them which I would definitely recommend!On the final day both my partner and myself were very tired after having spent a lot of the previous day exploring. We both were a little late in leaving the room, however were not made to feel rushed in any way.Just an absolutely fantastic base to spend a few days exploring Whitby, we will certainly return!

An excellent B&B for a short or long stay, lovely rooms, superb breakfast and friendly staff. Hoping to go again soon.

Lovely B and B . Clean friendly and ideally located .

It was a pleasure to stay at your b&b , the room was lovelyAnd breakfast was enjoyable .We will certainly be back to stay again .

We return to Lavinia House on every visit to Whitby fantastic place owners very welcoming rooms are clean and very comfortable and are decorated to a good standard, bed linen very smart and upto date. Will continue to return here a very big thanks to John & Sarah.

Great owners, the breakfasts were 10 out of 10.Room was spotless and tidy, lovely view of the harbour, and the hotel itself close to all amenities

Had a great stay at Lavina House this weekend. The room was lovely and well equipped, everything was spotless and the breakfast was even enough to keep my partner going until tea! Well situated and the hosts very welcoming. Would definately stay again.

Great stay in Room 8 Lavinia House lovely and bright with nice view from window.Enjoyed relaxing too in seating area in the room.Very central in town also.Delicious breakfast.

This was our first visit to Lavinia House but it certainly won't be our last.The room was spotless with a very comfy bed, great views and everything we needed.Lovely breakfast. Faultless.

Very clean, very welcoming.An excellent guest house. Would definitely recommend.

It was perfect as a housekeeping manager i can be fussy but everything was spotless.The welcome was fantastic and you were made to feel like in their own home breakfast was great too. We will be back!

We had a 2 night stay at Lavinia House, very welcoming. Room 6 although a small bedroom was very clean and comfortable and ideal for 2 nights, had excellent views over the harbour area. The breakfast was excellent, set you up for the day ahead. Recommended.

Accomodation was great and all staff friendly which helped us have a great stay

I would recommend the Lavinia House to anyone that wants a quality stay in Whitby. We were warmly greeted by a friendly couple that instantly made us feel welcome. We immediately noticed how clean and well presented all the rooms were.A generous full English breakfast was served in the mornings with optional extras at no extra cost. We were very impressed with the level of service and care that the owners gave, so much so that we left a tip. Well worth £74 per night of anyones money.

Stayed here on a Friday and Saturday night in May. The location is fantastic and the room we stayed in (two) was lovely, clean and well maintained. Very comfy bed. Lovely hot cooked breakfast. The owners were very pleasant and helpful. Would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to stay there again if returning to Whitby.

Excellent in every respect. Efficiently run establishment yet still friendly and extremely accommodating. Room7, clean, tidy and with a marvellous view of the Harbour entrance and Abbey high on the hill. Breakfast, wide selection on Menu and well prepared and presented. B&B ideally situated for access to both Sea front and Town Centre, Highly recommended.

We stayed in room 7 for 2 nights it was a lovely clean and comfortable room with great sea views. Breakfast was gorgeous and plenty of it! We were sad to leave and will definatley be booking again soon! Thankyou for a great stay!

Everything as described on website..A lovely warm welcome, nothing was too much trouble.Our room was clean modern and spaciousBeds made daily.A variety of choices for breakfast.Very tastyWill definitely book again if travelling to whitby

We stayed for three nights over the Regatta weekend in a wonderful 4 poster bed.The bed was really comfortable - the room and bathroom were really clean and both were luxurious.Breakfasts were really nice but after a heavy night it was tricky hitting the allotted slot.Hosts were very friendly and we will definitely stay again.

Excellent b&b very clean great food good views and large rooms, all our friends came and looked at our room and could not believe the size of the rooms. 5 stars from us, thanks for a very pleasant stay

We booked at short notice and so didn't get the biggest room but ours was perfectly adequate. The furnishings, bedding etc were allhigh quality and spotless. The breakfasts were well cooked with plenty of choice and I wish I could fillet a kipper as well as the proprietor, who, like his wife, couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful.We'd happily stay here again.

Hospitality from John and Sarah was second to none. Room comfortable, clean, spacious with excellent sea views. Very good selection of freshly cooked breakfasts to set you up for the day. Will definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Lavinia House for 2 nights. The room was totally as expected, nice, spacious, comfortable and clean. The hosts were very polite and nice and took every possible care to ensure comfort and convenience. We would definitely be staying at Lavinia house again whenever we are in Whitby next. Completely and unequivocally recommended to anyone visiting Whitby. Thank you so much. Aman and Krati.

We absolutely loved our time in Whitby and our stay at Lavinia House.The room was clean and comfortable--really comfortable bed--and had a lovely view over the mouth of the river and the sea.It was convenient to all Whitby attractions.The breakfast was generous and delicious. John and Sarah were welcoming, friendly, full of information, and attentive.We would hope to stay there again when we return to Whitby.

Another great stay at Lavinia House, stayed in room 6 on top floor with great sea views rooms nice and clean bed very comfortable.Breakfast very tasty and a good choice, John & Sarah are very welcoming and nothing is to much will return for the 5 time soon.

If it wasn't for the scaffolding (Which was just a case of unfortunate timing) it would have been perfect. Friendlyness, location, accomodation and in particular the breakfast bacon were 1st class. Would go back

Excellent stay. Breakfast piping hot and left to our own devices which we like. We would definitely stay here again.

Our stay at Lavinia House was lovely. Warm welcome, relaxed atmosphere and very good for the value.Breakfast was deliciousness and very filling.The room was clean and very well stocked.The only down side was the view from our window but as soon as we stepped out side the views of Whitby were stunning. The owners were very accommodating and made our stay feel special. Will book again.

Just a 3 min walk in to the center of Whitby.We started in Room number 3 which was immaculate, awoke with loverly sea views. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room.A large variety of food available for breakfast ( we both recommend the Whitby kippers and the full English cooked breakfast).You can tell they put their heart and sole into keeping their guests happy.Big thank you to you both.Chris and NicholaRECOMMEND AND WOULD USE AGAIN.!!!

Our fifth visit to Lavinia House, and another perfect weekend in beautiful accommodation and sunny Whitby!

We had a most enjoyable three day break staying at Lavinia House. Sarah and John were very friendly and welcoming, the room was very comfortable and warm and we had nice views of the harbour. The breakfast was beautifully presented with a good choice of food. There was also a small sitting room in which we could get a good wifi connection. A most enjoyable experience.

Lavinia House is in a great location,very comfortable ,5star breakfast. The hosts John and Sarah were very welcoming .This is one of Whitby's best.

Thank you for the lovely review, we do hope we will see you again.

perfect place to stay.

If you're looking for style, comfort, a hearty breakfast and friendly service, and a place that when you walk out the front door you can see the ocean. Perfect for a young couple keen to escape the hussle and bussle of city life.

Excellent hotel, excellent staff, amazing central location!amazing views from the windows! if we ever go back to whitby we will be staying at Lavinia hotel again!thank you for a wonderful stay

Stayed here before a couple of years ago and we returned because we enjoyed our last stay.Nice room, good firm bed,excellent breakfast and friendly greeting. What more can one ask?

Brilliant food, lovely clean & comfortable room as well as friendly owners. Great central location for beach and town explorers with many good restaurants close by.Had a wonderful stay this summer and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

We stayed 5 nights in the B&B and we enjoyed it very much!

Stayed at this first class b/b , room 8 has fantastic views, breakfast is superb sets you up for the day.Sarah and John couldn't be more helpful, nothing to much trouble, Good location, Very clean well worth the visit will be going back.

We spend three nights in Lavinia house and were very pleased with our accommodation. Tastefully furnished, comfortable bed ,immaculately maintained B and B .a warm welcome from Sarah excellent choice of breakfasts well cooked by John .we found the location good though anyone less fit might struggle with the hills.parking could be an issue though we were lucky and got a spot in the crescent!-then either walked or used public transport lots of information available at the B and B about places to visit and things to do Lavinia house would be our first choice when returning to Whitby

Stopped here twice now over the past few years & will continue to stay here. Fantastic accommodation, very clean & the breakfast is the best we have had at the seaside.

We booked a room at Lavinia House at the last minute for a short break in Whitby in August. From the outset the owners made us feel valued as guests contacting us by email and text to confirm the booking and keep up to date with our ETA as we travelled. On arrival we were greeted by John who proved friendly and welcoming, he noted the trip was for our anniversary, offering suggestions as to restaurants to visit and where we could park for free. It is worth noting the hotel does not have designated parking but we had no trouble finding a spot within view of our room and 100m of the front door...in fact had we parked right outside we might have been subjected to the attentions of the seagulls so we were glad we didn't in the end. Ours was room 6 on the top floor, no lift available but John was quick to offer help with our bags. The room is small but comfortable enough with a lovely view of the harbour, piers and (just) the abbey and St Mary's on the East Cliff and a well stocked hospitality tray. There were one or two minor gripes about the room one being the low pressure in the shower meaning it took a while to wash my hair in the morning and I had to get up pretty early and the fact the room got so hot at night. You could leave the window on vent to combat this problem but the position of the B&B meant there was a fairly constant stream of traffic until late at night and from early in the morning, when the seagulls and fish market also became an issue...so if you're a light sleeper you may need a room without a view!! Obviously this is outside the owners' control but worth bearing in mind. I would however suggest lighter tog duvets and blackout linings for the curtains to block out some of the light might be a helpful addition? Breakfast was served between 8.30-9am we were usually done by ten to nine so you can still get out and about. It was delicious and plentiful with fresh fruit, cereals, toast and a full English offered daily along with fresh orange juice and tea/coffee. If you wanted something else or a variation on this you could request it and the owners would do their best to accommodate it. Again served cheerfully by Sarah. Both John and Sarah were attentive without you feeling you were being constantly monitored, lovely hosts who run this place well, keeping it spotless and home like. We would definitely stay again if in Whitby very good value!!

Thank you very much for the lovely review, we do hope we will see you again.

We had a very enjoyable 3 night stay.Everywhere was spotlessly clean.The breakfast was varied and the quality was very good---no cheap stuff here.Sarah and John were friendly and helpful. They gave us a complimentary open-topped bus ticket for the day. We learnt a lot about the history of Whitby from that.Would cetainly stay here again The location is excellent.

Very happy to recommend Lavinia House. Everything about it is excellent. The only thing disappointing for my husband on our last stay was they didn't do kippers for breakfast, but now they do, so he was more than happy! We will definitely be returning.

Very clean and comfortable breakfast very enjoyable

Whitby is lovely hotel very nice and not far from the centre

Stayed for 2nights room 4 was very clean and comfy John & sharah very helpfull breakfast really nice and filling ( full english ) nice location.Would recommend and stay there again if we go to whitby. Thanks John and Sharah for a peasant stayTerry & Barbara Roberts. Shepshed

Lovely facilities and hosts. Ideal spot to explore Whitby with lovely sea views from the rooms. Right in the hear of it all whilst still quiet and relaxed. Very good value for money. Would highly recommend Lavinia House.

Response

Hi it was a pleasure having you stay, we hope we will see you again

Stayed for three nights at the end of May (bank holiday weekend) with friends (we had rooms 1 and 6). Our room, room 6, was on the top floor with a good view of the sea, but was a little cramped for space, although it did have a fantastic shower/bathroom. The rooms were really clean and the guest house was decorated to a high standard. The hospitality was very good and the breakfasts were tasty and plentiful, to include cereals, fresh fruit, egg and bacon etc, toast and tea or coffee. Sarah was very friendly and always ready to chat. This was our first time in Whitby and we couldn't have wished for a better guest house, ideally situated for a great stay. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Response

It was pleasure having you stay and we look forward to seeing you again.

We have just returned from a 3 night stay at Lavinia House and this was our first stay here. The hosts are so friendly and make you feel right at home. We were lucky enough to be offered a free upgrade which just goes to show how wonderful the owners are! Our room, room 2, was lovely, clean and comfy with a wonderful view of the crescent and the sea beyond. The room was very spacious wtih a big bathroom too. Breakfast has to be ordered the night before which was not a problem for us and was always delicious and cooked just as requested. The owners recomended a pie shop on the otherside of the swing bridge which was amazing!!! We had a lovely stay and will return here in future!

Lovely room (2), Perfect hosts. Beautifully clean and lovely and quiet. Would highly recommend!

Response

Thank you so much, it was a pleasure having you stay.

We arrived to a warm and friendly welcome. I had emailed lavinia house before i booked to explain that my father needed oxygen and we had to have it delivered prior to our arrival. when we arrived it was all in situ and plugged in ready to go, which was a great relief. the rooms were lovely, tv hair dryer and drink making facilities in rooms .The beds are really comfortable. The breakfast full English but Sarah and John would do a different breakfast if you requested it the night before. They were there if you needed them and were always friendly towards you whenever you saw them. the hotel is in the perfect place to get the best out of Whitby and surrounding areas. My husband and I have stayed at the Lavinia 5 times over the years but this was the first time we have met Sarah and John as they have only had it 2 years. We had a fantastic weekend and would thoroughly recommend it. we wouldn't book any where else , home from home is how I would discribe it

Thank you very much for the lovely review, we do hope we will see you again.

This is the third time we have stayed at Lavinia. Everything is spotlessly clean, the hosts are friendly and the quality of the breakfast is excellent.What more could you ask! The only down side on our last visit was that there was no hot water for a bath after a long walk.

What a fantastic B & B.Nothing was too much trouble - food was amazing, rooms spotlessly clean and can't wait to visit again

Me and my pregnant wife decided to have a weekend in Whitby because we had never been before and was making the most of the time we have before our little boy arrives. We stopped at the Lavinia and found it to be excellent.We stopped in room 7 with a great view and was very welcoming. My only downside was that the bed was too firm for me but the wife loved it (personal taste only). Breakfast was great, even though my wife threw her egg at me lol.Overall we would both go again and would stay at the Lavinia without hesitation, Whitby is such an amazing place and we didnt want to leave. I would recommend that if you go and you find a parking space when you get there then leave your car where it is. Parking is hard to find.I hope this helps others make their decision.

Would highly recommend Lavinia House to everyone. Right from driving up to the house, and seeing the crescent it is sent in, it has the wow factor. Our room (room 3) was perfect for us with its large 4 poster bed and 2 floor to ceiling windows, all in keeping with the style of property, with fantastic views of the sea. The en-suite bathroom was spotless and not only had a shower but also a bath (luxury) pure white towels that smelt divine. Excellent breakfast choice's cooked and presented to its best. The added bonus is its run by lovely people who were attentive and mindful of our comfort to ensure our stay was enjoyable.So a big Thank You for making our first stay in Whitby one that makes us want to return and stay with you again.Mandy and Mark (Nottingham)

We found parking difficult having arrived just before lunchtime but the owner John very kindly helped us find a space and we checked in straight away and we then went off to explore.
