Some rooms boast original features such as bare stone walls or wooden-beamed ceilings. A log fire welcomes guests in the White Horse’s bar and bistro, which serves both vegetarian and meat dishes. Whitby town center 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.
