    “Lovely old building situated in the heart of Whitby I appreciate the age of the hotel but the rooms desperately need updating. Hottest day of the year and no fan. No hairdryer. Uncomfortable beds/pillows. Had heavy rain and the windows don't shut properly. Breakfast was underwhelming. All in all disappointing 😞”
