Our Guest House in Whitby is an ideal base for discovering the coast, the North Yorkshire Moors, and the narrow streets of this delightful historic town. There is something for everyone and we hope your stay with us will be a pleasant one. We offer room only accommodation, allowing our guests the opportunity to have a lie-in and experience the vast array of cafe's and restaurants within the town, at their own leisure.

Lavinia house was built in the 1850's, and although retaining its character and features of the original dwelling it offers the comfort and standards expected in a well modernised guest house. The house is ideally situated at the top of the Khyber pass and enjoys views of the sea, is close to all local amenities and offers friendly, relaxed hospitality to all guests.

Whitby Abbey was a 7th-century Christian monastry that later became a Benedictine abbey. The abbey church was situated overlooking the North Sea on the East Cliff above Whitby in North Yorkshire, England, a centre of the medieval Northumbrian kingdon. The abbey and it's possessions were later confiscated by the crown under Henry VIII during the Dissolution of the monastries between 1536 and 1545.

Lovely place in a fantastic location, just a stone's throw away from the heart of Whitby. Very pretty room with a grand four poster bed. Good value parking, with no problems getting a street place (its a very busy October weekend...).

Lovely lovely guesthouse. Owners were really nice and we got to check into our room early as it was vacant the night before. Room large and clean (room3) and good view of the sea from both sets of windows.
One issue we did have was with hot water. We had to run the shower or tap for a long, long time before we got even mid range temperature water out of it. Made showering a chilly process and not ideal for a bath.
Lavinia house is in a great location, quiet but only a short walk to the centre of Whitby. Definitely recommend staying here.
