We have recently had a fabulous three night stay at The Leeway. The "cook" room was large, clean and well equipped. Breakfasts ( Yorkshire produce ) are delicious and set you up for the day. Karen and Gary were very welcoming and helpful. If you are staying in Whitby then it's got to be The Leeway.

A wonderful place to stay with fantastic facilities, and run by 2 of the nicest people you could wish to meet. Great breakfast with a wide choice of specials as well as everything you'd expect for the full english - would go back for the marmalade alone! Any time we're in Whitby - and we will be back - we...

Another great stay at the Leeway. They make breakfast especially good, with different choices of fresh fruit salads to accompany their locally produced traditional menus. We personally enjoy their scrambled eggs with salmon. The breakfast sets you up for the day, ready to enjoy Whitby. A warm welcome greets you on arrival and that continues throughout your stay. Karen and... More

The room size was OK but the en-suite was extremely small with no heating which was far from pleasant as we... More

We have stayed in Whitby many times over the last ten years and I think it's fair to say that The Leeway now tops our list of where to stay. We were made to feel extremely welcome and we will certainly be staying there again.

Arrived after parking in free on-street parking right outside. Warm welcome during which our hosts explained the problems they had had with a leaky water tank although we'd have hardly noticed and after effects. Great choice for breakfast which was served promptly and piping hot. Room was comfortable and well appointed although being an attic room you'd need to be... More
