Property highlights
About this property
Set in a 17th-century building, this guest accommodation serves local, fresh seafood in its restaurant and has elegant rooms. Whitby’s sandy beach is less than 10-minutes’ walk from the White Horse & Griffin. Tea and coffee facilities are provided in all rooms. Some rooms have original features such as bare stone walls or a wooden-beamed ceiling. A log fire features in the White Horse’s bar and bistro, which serves both vegetarian and meat dishes. Whitby town centre and Rail station are within a 5-minute walk of the property. Whitby’s Grade I listed abbey, and the top of the 199 steps that connect it to the seafront, can be reached in less than 10 minutes on foot.
