We are situated in the heart of the beautiful seaside holiday town of Whitby, North Yorkshire - home of Count Dracula, Captain Cook and world-famous explorer William Scoresby to name but a few. Being only a few hundred yards from Whitby's famous Abbey and its 199 steps, only minutes away from 'Heartbeat Country' and several other national heritage sites, the White Horse and Griffin is the ideal place to stay for your holiday or short break. For more information on what Whitby has to offer, click here.

We offer high quality, luxury accommodation in one of our 10 beautifully refurbushed rooms, offering single, double, twin and family rooms - all situated in our 320 year old building.
Our restaurant / bistro offers exceptional cuisine, all prepared using the freshest and finest local ingredients. Our speciality is based around the beautiful fresh seafood, brought into the town daily by the local fisherman. We also pride ourselves on our range of vegetarian meals. Real pride in what we do has gained us a reputation as being one of the finest restaurants, in one of the finest hotels in Yorkshire. For a more detailed look at our menu, click here.

Seperate to our B & B rooms, only a few hundred yards from the hotel are our two self catering holiday cottages - Kipper Cottage and Perkins Cottage. Ideal for those who want to stay in the heart of the town, yet still come and go as they please.

Finally, for larger groups who wish to stay in self catering accommodation, why not take a look at our Country House in the nearby village of Sandsend? Outside of the town, yet still 'handily' close, its the ideal solution for your break.

Please browse the site at your leisure, and do not hesitate to contact us with any queries, or you can find unbiased reviews of the hotel in 'Rough Guide', 'Lonely Planet' or 'Les Routiers'. We look forward to being of assistance to you during your stay.
