Stayed here for girlfriends 18th. Very friendly staff that also run the shop down stairs and sell use their produce for the hotel. Room we stayed in had a low ceiling due to it being an attic room and the view was blocked partially by other buildings. APart from that it was a lovely stay

My wife and I discovered Shepherds Purse almost by accident. We were in Whitby for the day and made an impromptu decision to say over. We were just by Shepherds Purse at the time and saw their sign. The room we took was small but wonderfully comfortable. We have returned a number of times since and have recommended it to... More

We booked this hotel for the because its in the centre of Whitby, with council car parks very nearby. On arrival we were greeted by friendly staff, and guided through a beautiful courtyard to our ground floor room. The room was quaint and endearing with four poster bed, flowing curtains, with fairy lights, and rose garlands. Very romantic! The mattress,... More

Just returned from a two night stay at the shepherds purse ( goth weekend). Lovely quaint accomodation, the people who own it run the shop outside, very kind and friendly.Only downside was the inconsiderate guests below our room, arguing at 2am ( no fault of the hotel). Would definately go back. Well done hotel owners and staff

My wife booked this as a surprise for my birthday. The room and facilities where near perfect. Situated in a courtyard off the main cobbled street in old Whitby, This place is perfect for all of the sights, amenities and facilities that Whitby has to offer. A great getaway, hide hole, and comfortable base. Perfect for a romantic stay.

The Shepherd's Purse is perfectly located off one of the main streets in Whitby. It's far enough from the main drag to offer privacy, but convenient to shopping and the abbey. We stayed for two nights in November in a small room on the ground floor. The bed essentially filled the room, which was fine for us as we spent... More

Found this accommodation trawling through google. We previously stayed next door last year, at Sanders Yard. We travelled on 16th November for two nights, and booked the best room - which is Room 5. It cost £150 for both of us, room only, for two nights. Previous to booking, spoke to the staff with queries, and they were more than... More

Could be really nice with some tweeking and loving care. We stayed in the honeymoon suite, good job it wasn't as it was too cold to get undressed, the room was freezing, we complained about the cold and a fire appeared on the day we were leaving with our bags. We had half dead flowers in the room and on... More
