Chiltern Guesthouse Reviews
" Best of British "
Submitted By: tgs3497
Sometimes you just to get away from the rat race and spend a few days doing the basics. E.G. sleeping in a comfy bed, having a good breakfast, having a central location and made to feel welcome and comfortable. That's why I booked into the Chiltern Guesthouse after trawling through hotel/accommodation sites for hours. School holidays is always an awkward time to find good and reasonably priced accommodation.
We booked Chiltern online after being told by countless search engines that there was nowhere in Whitby for us to stay for 4 nights. We received an email from Chilterns offering us what we wanted.
Upon arrival checking in was easy although parking wasn't, but managed a space 40 yards down road. We were shown to a lovely double room with a king size bed and lots of storage. The bathroom was roomy and efficient with a corner bath unit and shower. All for £224 for 4 nights B&B.
Can't fault John and Jools the owners because everything was as on the 'tin'. The breakfasts were good, wholesome and plentiful. The rooms were kept clean and tidy while we were out exploring. The information and knowledge of the town was execellent and there was a pleasant friendly ambience about the place. Some places I've stopped in feels like you're treading on broken glass at times. Not this little haven.
Chiltern is about 10 mins walk from the swing bridge on the front, so eating, shopping and sight-seeing is very handy. The only drawback is the parking but as most people who visit Whitby are day trippers, after 5pm is it fairly easy to find a parking space within 2 or 3 minutes walk.

My parents had a double room that was spacious that also had an en-suite, however they weren't too impressed with the en-suite as it was very small.
Breakfasts were very good and they were served in a bright, airy, clean dining room. Dietery needs are catered for too.
Booking in was easy and the owners were very informative about local attractions and shops and there are plenty of leaflets on display that have maps in them.
The only downside was the parking as it is very difficult to park outside the guest house. However, you can double park as the road is very wide so unloading and loading isnt difficult to do and parking spaces do become available after 5pm.
The Chiltern is 2 minutes from the beach, 2 minutes from the shops and there are plenty of places to eat.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we booked a full week there for next year before we came away yesterday. Thank you for a very pleasant stay Chiltern, see you next year.
Advice: Fantastic views, great food, great people, awesome shops and plenty to do.
Activities: The Resolution Hotel serves homemade, freshly prepared food, very wholesome. Goathland place to see.
Good for: Beach
