Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The White House Inn enjoys a beautiful location, with many guests appreciating the stunning views from the hotel and its proximity to the Whitby golf course. Several guests have savored the dining experience, particularly the Whitby Kippers at breakfast and the Thai green curry. While some found the coffee from the machines less appealing, the spacious rooms offer a comfortable stay for many visitors. The hotel is not central, requiring a walk to Whitby centre.

local produceunpredictable showerroom noise
The breakfast was acceptable. I guess fresh local produce is good, or so they say.
The room situation was just not it. they gave me a room above the bar. predictable, i didn't sleep well because of the noise from below. and the shower? temperature was completely unpredictable. I'm pretty sure i got third degree burns.

Charming Stay Near the Coast

dining areagolf course viewsfaulty window
The room provided a calm atmosphere with good facilities. Breakfast had a wide selection of options, and the dining area had golf course views (I especially loved the morning light).
The bathroom window would not open fully. This made the small space very steamy after a shower, which wasn't very pleasant.
