Situated in Whitby and only 1.7 km from Whitby Beach, Number 18 features accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. Housed in a building dating from 1900, this bed and breakfast is 30 km from Peasholm Park and 32 km from Dalby Forest. The property offers allergy-free units and is located 2.8 km from Sandsend Beach.

Our gracious hosts went out is their way to make us welcome. It was comfortable and cozy and walkable to all Whitby had to offer with the added bonus of being a bit away from the noise of the center. When we had an unexpected issue with our vehicle, Steve and Denise went out of their way to help us connect with a garage to get it sorted. If you are undecided, look no further. This is your place.

    The property was very clean and quite classy from the outside and in the bar area. Very rustic which matches the Stables well. The courtyard outside is lovely, with lights and beautifully designed. We liked how the bedroom was quiet even though it’s next to a main road. Staff were fantastic. So friendly and helpful both during the day and at night. We always enjoyed having drinks at night without it being too busy overlooking lovely views of the lake and countryside scenery.

    The location was absolutely incredible, super short walk into town, but still very easy to sort parking for the weekend and not worry about it again! The room was just as lovely as in the pictures, great quirky design, with a gorgeous comfy bed and nice bathroom. The hosts were super helpful and very easy to contact :)
