We stayed here on 22/23rd Jan for 2 nights. We ate in the hotel restaurant the first night which was amazing food, we shared the Yorkshire Beef platter which is quite expensive but left us no room for puddings or cheese so it didn't feel a high cost meal as we'd not had starters either! The restaurant is a cosy,... More

We stayed here on a cheap groupon deal for two nights and were given the Scoresby room which was very small and had a view of the tiles of the neighbouring roof. The sash window was slightly rotten at the bottom. The bed was fairly comfortable and the bathroom small and had no shower curtain so water went everywhere. It... More

Being regular visitors to Whitby, we've always considered the white horse and griffin, but due to cost always stayed elsewhere. When the groupon deal became available we took the chance of two days for less than half the normal price. On the way there we received a phone call from them asking what time we would arrive as the don't... More

We stayed at the White Horse and Griffin for two nights this week on a Groupon deal we bought late last year. In total we paid £100 for two nights B&B, which was for an upgraded room as they couldn't offer us a standard room. We were really looking forward to our stay, as my wife is due in just... More

My recent visit to Whitby staying at the White Horse and Griffin booked through Groupon was once again a very enjoyable stay at the Town but slightly disappointed with the accommodation. The WHG was really a Restaurant with rooms in my eyes, the restaurant being superb whatever time of day or night. The room we stayed in 'Warrior Queen' was... More

Only stayed for one night but enjoyed the evening. Bags of old world charm. Stayed in the room called Scoresby, maybe slightly overpriced but a comfortable night. Staff were lovely and friendly, and my husband and I ate at he restaurant in the evening.The food was beautiful, will definitely go back there in the future. More

I sat in the chair next to the bathroom but it had very little spring support so i was nearly sat on the... More

We stayed for three nights over Christmas and found the hotel to be excellent value for money. Yes, there are a lot of steps if you are on the higher floors, but it's an ancient, tall coaching inn which oozes atmosphere. The welcome was very warm. Leanne was delightful, and all the staff that we encountered were friendly and professional.... More
