What guests think
Travellers describe Argyle House as a clean, comfortable guest house with warm, hands on hosts, an excellent made to order breakfast, and a quiet, walkable West Cliff location within about ten minutes of Whitby’s harbour, beach, and attractions.
Rooms are well equipped, with some quirky gothic decor that many enjoy and a few dislike. Parking uses on street permits and can take time to find a space, and top floor rooms involve many stairs; the area’s hill may also challenge those with limited mobility. Overall, expect a straightforward, good value base for exploring Whitby.

The overall stay was excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough to help make our stay enjoyable. Breakfast was particularly good and set us up for each day. The only drawback was the parking which was very difficult.

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.

Parking dufficulties but not surprising considering the amoint of hotels in the area. Great location but not good for disbled or infirm people due to the amount of stairs in the property, especially to access the attic room. Room was very well equiped with all amenities plus extras, i.e., hair straighteners, umbrellas and ironing board and iron.

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.

Rooms
Rooms are well equipped with comfortable beds, and some are spacious while others are compact. Attic rooms require climbing several flights of stairs, and the gothic decor appeals to some but not all.

Our attic room was cute and comfortable and very clean, with a view of the abbey. Tea/coffee/milk were unlimited in supply; check-in was seamless and the guest house is very well located. The only problem was parking: we did find a space but it was a bit of a walk, not really a problem for us and perhaps to be expected as we arrived quite late in the day on a bank holiday weekend. We would definitely recommend this as a place to stay.

Excellent location. We chose attic room no. 8 for the view of the Abbey but not quite as expected! Bill did say the room would be redecorated shortly which it needed. Curtains and roof window blind also need replacing as not fitted properly. Though room was warm with hot water and clean towels and bedding. Breakfast was delicious. Excellent service from Bill who was knowledgeable of the area and very hospitable. Overall enjoyed our stay.

What a great place to stay, our host was superb and couldnt do enough for us. The room was clean and tidy with an ensuite. Breakfast had ample choices for those who have different tastes, was fresh and cooked to perfection. The location was ideal for us and a 10 minute walk to the harbour, of note there is a hill to climb for those not able to get around as well. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic location, close to the whalebones, short walk to the town and beach. Nice room, very comfortable bed. Great host and service, lovely breakfast with a good choice. Would stay again.

What a great place to stay, our host was superb and couldnt do enough for us. The room was clean and tidy with an ensuite. Breakfast had ample choices for those who have different tastes, was fresh and cooked to perfection. The location was ideal for us and a 10 minute walk to the harbour, of note there is a hill to climb for those not able to get around as well. Would definitely stay again.

No complaints about this venue at all. Once you get used to the slightly quirky nature of some of the fittings, such as a bat hanging from a light and red bed linen with black bed bedstead, it was what you would expect from a guest house. Breakfasts were great. As a bonus, you are provided with a parking permit free of charge (the hotel we stayed in in Scarborough charged £5 per night for this). Overall, this is an excellent place to stay.

The Argyle was a lovely guest house. A good walk to the front, but enjoyable. I couldn't comment on the staff, because there weren't any! All booked online, keys and car parking disc, left in an envelope at the door. Very difficult to get in touch with the owners if you needed anything. Too impersonal for me, I like a meet and greet.

Although we didn't have the pleasure of meeting the owner the instructions and communication was perfect, the room.was clean and very well presented the gothic look was great and perfect vibe for pirate weekend that we didn't know about but was so much fun, the B&B is just a short down hill walk to the town perfect really
