Oh I do like to be beside the seaside… And there’s no place quite like Whitby! Fish and chips and queuing up for your favourite ice cream; sand castle competitions and dipping your toes in chilly water, brightly coloured beach huts and fresh salty sea air; a stroll around a quaint town and a rambling walk in the countryside.

Whitby has everything you could ask for and more.

Boasting one of the best locations for accommodation in town is the Riviera. Our friendly family-run guest house has received several awards for excellence in guest satisfaction. What’s more, you won’t find a better outlook in Whitby than here, with panoramic views out to the dramatic North Sea, Whitby Harbour and across to the next bay of Sandsend.

The Guesthouse is a stone's throw away from the sandy beach & within walking distance of the town with its vibrant fishing harbour, beautiful and unique shops, restaurants, and tourist attractions (e.g., Captain Cooks Museum, the Dracula Experience, boat trips & Whitby Abbey with its famous 199 steps).

Riviera Guesthouse's commitment to guest satisfaction has been recognised by receiving various awards. Our latest awards are TRIPADVISOR TRAVELLERS' CHOICE 2024, BEST FAMILY RUN B&B by LuxLife Hospitality Awards, SEA VIEW GUESTHOUSE OF THE YEAR and we are also a GOOD HOTEL GOLD AWARD 2024 winner.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you to Whitby and the Riviera! Emma and Zed
