The town provides beach wheelchair access via a cliff-top lift. Nearby attractions include Whitby Abbey (2 km), Whitby Harbour (1 km), Captain Cook Memorial Museum (1.5 km), and the North York Moors National Park Centre.

West Cliff Location

Abbotsleigh of Whitby is situated at 5 Argyle Road on Whitby's West Cliff, 2 minutes' walk from the seafront. It is 1 km from Whitby town center, 70 km from Durham Tees Valley Airport, and 6 miles north of Robin Hood's Bay. The property is near Whitby Lighthouse (1 km), Pannett Park Art Gallery & Museum (0.5 km), and the Whitby Pavilion conference center, cinema, and entertainment venue. Three parking spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Practical Guest Services

Check-in is from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM; check-out by 10:30 AM. The ground-floor Periwinkle room is adapted for limited mobility, with available shower chairs and toilet bars. A ramp assists access at the front door. Assistance dogs are welcome. Accounts are settled on arrival. Free WiFi is available throughout. Smoking is not permitted on the premises. Certain weekends require 3-night minimum stays.

“This hotel struck me as a place where hospitality is deeply personal; the hosts clearly invest themselves in every detail, from the homemade treats to catering for specific dietary needs. Its location provides an ideal starting point for exploring Whitby, yet the property itself, with its Victorian features and uniquely styled rooms, feels like a destination. The easy access ramp for guests with limited mobility makes it stands out.”
