I stayed at Riftswood B&B July 2012- and it was brilliant. Even though our bedroom had a WC in a separate room, it didn't compromise the stay. The rooms were clean and amiable- their pictures on their website do not do them justice. The hosts were all you could hope for, and more. Breakfast was one of the best I've... More

This review is probably an echo of the many others already on here but I wanted to reiterate how good this place is. The Riftswood is a lovely B&B run by the most welcoming and helpful couple Pete and Paula. They couldn't have tried any harder to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. We stayed in one of the larger double... More

What a great place to stay. Decided to try Riftswood after reading all the reviews and I was not disappointed. Normally I would prefer to stay in a hotel but after staying at Riftswood I am now a B & B convert. Good location easy to find and parking right outside the door. Only a short walk in to town....

Great location away from the centre of the west cliff but quick and gorgeous walk into town. Lovely room. Everything you could want. Special little touches made it very memorable. Great breakfasts...so much choice and so much care and attention. Wonderful knowledge of the surrounding area and their passion for Whitby shone through....infectuous. We were a little worried about the... More

We had a wonderful 3 nights stay. Our hosts Paula and Peter were so welcoming and friendly. The room and breakfast were both superb. Would definitely recommend to anyone wishing a bit of genuine Northern hospitality.
