Shower wasn't great. The bed posts were at my knee height so I kept knocking against them. Instructions were good and information about parking.

Our stay at Argyle House in late September this year was good. Bill, and his son, were very friendly and helpful. The room, on the first floor, is a good size, quirkily decorated ( rather gothic), well furnished, bedding good, and clean. Bathroom quite small , with a good shower etc. Located high up on the West Cliff side a few minutes walk from the Cook Memorial and 10 minutes walk down to the harbour and town centre. There is on street parking only ( a local parking permit is provided) ; if you are lucky to find a spot nearby leave the car there and walk everywhere if you can. There is no breakfast provision although there are a couple of good nearby cafes. Restaurant eateries are a bit further away.

My sister and I stayed for 2 nights at Argyle House.The room was immaculate and i was very impressed with decor and little extra touches.Plenty of tea and coffee and toiletries,iron hairdryer and a tv with apps.Our room was at top of house with quite a few stairs to climb which didnt bother us but elderly might struggle with this.The town centre was uphill but only a short walk from train station.Overall we had a pleasant stay and would definitely recommend

Argyle House, Whitby - Excellent in every way

Jacqueline

Disliked: Staff & service

Lots to improve

The room was fine, clean and the bed comfortable. The toilet which operated on a sani flow system was very noisy and so was not good to use during the night. In addition it stopped flushing on our penultimate day. Luckily I spotted the cleaner on our way out and was able to report it and it was fixed that day. This was the only time I saw anyone attatched to the hotel. None of the suggested means of contact produced contact. We were not able to access the free netflix and on the final evening lost all tv.Finally, I accept the room was advertised as an attic room, however, it would have been good to have been made aware of the 48 steps to get to it.( my attic room has half that number) I am 78, fit and active but I certainty didn't appreciate the climb to my room after a lovely day in beautiful but very hilly Whitby.

Had a lovely stay at Argyle House, was comfortable and convenient. Easy to find and Bill gives you all the information you need. Close to major attractions and in a very walkable area. Room was clean and the slight gothic decor in our room was fun and on theme for the area.
