What guests think
Across reviews of Penny Hedge, Whitby by Marston's Inns, travellers praise friendly staff, comfortable rooms, a handy on-site pub with good-value breakfasts, and convenient free parking, plus an easy 15–30 minute walk or short bus ride into Whitby.
Common downsides include occasional understaffing and delays, limited menu availability at busy times, and poor coffee reported at breakfast. Rooms are generally spacious but basic, with limited storage, some dated fixtures, occasional noise between floors, and sporadic issues such as lukewarm water or faulty dispensers. The setting is on the outskirts by a main road and retail park, so views are mixed and some road noise occurs. Overall, expect a simple, good-value base for visiting Whitby.

I find the accommodation ideal for our needs. The rooms are in a separate building to the pub/restaurant so noise is minimal and facilities convenient. We've stayed here several times now and I'll keep coming back.

Convenient place to stay. Lovely pub next door with a children’s play area and the food was good. There’s a big sainsburys two minutes walk away with a bus stop to get into Whitby centre. Maybe the only thing that is missing in the room is that there is no fridge. Otherwise, great!

The room was clean and comfortable and very quiet even though the hotel was full. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Good security on the hotel block with 2 doors operated by key card. Just a little too far out of the centre to walk but a great base for Whitby and the surrounding area.

The advert for the hotel is totally misleading and I would never have booked such a room for myself and family especially considering the price paid.The location of the accommodation is actually on the site of a retail park and this included having views from the room looking onto Screwfix although you can also see the sea in the distance. It did not feel like a Whitby stay. The room itself was not in the pub as per the photo but in a bland / sad accommodation block next to the pub. The room was not the family room shown in the photo so it lacked an extra bed.We checked out at 7.30am but there were no clear instructions on what to do as there was no response to the intercom system. On a positive note the room was clean, had nice soap, a great hairdryer, pleasant and what appeared to be hardworking staff.

Check in delayed as porter had to go check if our rooms were occupied before handing us the room keys. Confusing as we were checking in at 7pm so not sure why they would have been occupied. Attention to detail needed as toothpaste on the back of the door so cleanliness not up to scratch and dust on top of toilet roll holder which is evident when your sat and have time to look. Might have been more attention if I’d taken the time to look

The room was nice and roomy and was clean. Was a bit of a wait to check-in as staff were busy. I felt that the toilets in the restaurant area were in need of a refurbishment, the radiators were rusty and the hand dryers were also rusty. Just looked tired in the ladies. Breakfast was good but the coffee was awful. I overheard someone complain it was like water and someone came and just added more instant coffee to the jug. Thankfully I had decaffeinated from a sachet. Little things like good coffee make a difference. I would stay again as it's in a great place with nice views. Plus has a good restaurant for meals during the day and evening.

The hotel is well located and is in good condition and generally comfortable, however the double bed in our room was not comfortable as the mattress was very soft and my wife and I both had back ache the following morning and we didn’t sleep well. The second night my wife had to sleep in our son’s single bed as the mattress was firmer! My son had to sleep in the double with me! The bathroom and bedroom were clean and tidy and good sized. We had evening meals both nights of our stay, which were good and good value for money. We also had breakfast both mornings and enjoyed these and thought the price reasonable. Overall, a very enjoyable and pleasant stay, but please buy some firmer mattress for the double beds!

I was happy I chose this hotel. Very similar to a Premier Inn in layout and decor. I had a comfortable stay with no adverse noise in my room despite workmen nearby with what sounded like pneumatic drills when outside. Good sound proofing! Two minor criticisms, would be that the television was a little on the small side, and the toilet was a touch too close to the sink

The room needed drawers so we could actually unpack rather than having to have stopped on the floor. Very disappointing. Also there could have been a small side or 2 comfy chairs to sit in. The main door was very loud when people were going in and out, so kept us awake. There was disappointment at the bar when I tried to purchase a port. There wasn’t enough for a full measure once the barman had poured it. He asked the manager what could be done and he came back to say I could have it a full price even though it wasn’t a full measure. This was so sad, I asked if he could put it through at a reduced price but he said he couldn’t do this. This was such a waste as this would have been thorn away. Very unhappy.

Booked for a 3 nights stay as a family. Initial issues with the key card not working. This continued as the card had not been programmed for 3 night's. Room was ok (only 2 glasses and cups when the booking was for three). Room was tired (trim coming off in the bathroom). Booked and paid for breakfast for 3 days, but was only booked in for one day. Couldn't have breakfast on the last morning due to only one member of staff. Asked for a refund as we couldn't wait over half an hour. Still waiting for the refund to be paid. Needless to say won't be returning.

Good location to Sneaton Castle (5mins by car/taxi) pub was next door for evening meal & breakfast, Sainsbury’s and shops less than 5min walk. Check-in was easy although we were pay on the day the venue took the money 24hrs before. Staff were friendly at checkin to hotel and restaurant staff too, the bar not so much that we complained. At the end of the night paying the bill we selecting no tip but the machine is broken so ended up tipping £16 for bad service, they wouldn’t refund so I need to contact head office! Annoying! So warning to others.. Room was spacious but dated, soap dispenser was broken and the one in shower hanging on by a screw. Room was clean with towels, double bed was comfortable but the single sofa bed, our little boy can sleep anywhere thankfully but I felt crippled from lying on it for 10mins.

We arrived early and the later was very friendly. We knew it was too early to check in, which was fine. When we came to check in, there was one man serving at the bar, told us he wouldn't be long (he was doing his best). So one of the chefs came out and checked us in. This morning, breakfast was ten minutes late opening and not everything was readily available. The price (which was a lot!!) we paid I expected far more.

After driving for 4 hours we arrived here . We went into the pub to check in and was told to go over to reception desk.We stood there for about 10 mins with staff just walking by us. In the end I asked a member of staff if somebody was on the desk , he was very rude and said “can’t you see we are busy.” We wouldn’t have minded if someone had just said we would be dealt with soon but staff were just walking by us . Apart from this we enjoyed our stay and and certain members of staff were very nice .

Penny Hedge is on the outskirts of Whitby. There is plenty of parking. Nearby is a small shopping complex. The rooms are large, clean and well equipped. The pub provides a good range of tasty, good value meals, served by friendly staff.

Very smart and clean. Staff were helpful and friendly. parking was great. It's a bit of a walk into Whitby mostly because (like the whole area) it is a bit hilly. It is walkable though or just a short car / taxi / bus ride. I would happilly recommend. Parking is okay in Whitby but will cost up to £10 for the day.

Great location as it was close to everything we wanted for our walking weekend. Comfortable accommodation, clean and tidy with daily house keeping if required. Staff at Penny Hedge are all really friendly and the service was fantastic. Good choice of food for breakfast; and enjoyed three evening meals during our stay.

Convenient for our trip. 20 minute walk to the centre of Whitby. Accommodation spacious clean and away from pub area (Annex) so nice and quiet. Next to main road so some traffic noise but perfectly acceptable.

Dining
The on-site pub is handy, with many praising tasty, good-value breakfasts and generally decent meals. However, reviews also cite stock shortages, understaffing and slow service at busy times, and inconsistent coffee quality.

Parking is plentiful and free, check-in is simple and efficient. Room size is adequate and bed was comfortable and all clean. Bathroom sink in room 23 conflicts with toilet space. Breakfast is good value but please include machine dispensed coffee as at the Spread Eagle, as the percolated coffee is not good. All staff were pleasant and helpful..

The advert for the hotel is totally misleading and I would never have booked such a room for myself and family especially considering the price paid.The location of the accommodation is actually on the site of a retail park and this included having views from the room looking onto Screwfix although you can also see the sea in the distance. It did not feel like a Whitby stay. The room itself was not in the pub as per the photo but in a bland / sad accommodation block next to the pub. The room was not the family room shown in the photo so it lacked an extra bed.We checked out at 7.30am but there were no clear instructions on what to do as there was no response to the intercom system. On a positive note the room was clean, had nice soap, a great hairdryer, pleasant and what appeared to be hardworking staff.

There appeared to be a problem with lack of staff in the restaurant with only 3 people on duty on a saturday night. Also some choices of food and drinks not available. The people that were there were working exceedingly hard.

The quality of the rooms is comparable with the Premier Inns. The breakfast on offer is reasonably priced and of a decent quality. The only drawback was that the restaurant seemed to have insufficient stock; several times that had run out of basic supplies.

Room OK, helpful staff but not enough of them. Restaurant understaffed, grubby tables, limited food options, unavailable wines on list (OK if your palate runs to "Red or White"). Good for an overnight stop but I\'d suggest eating elsewhere if the place is busy. Breakfast next day was oddly the highlight, actually nice choices and well cooked and presented.

The room was nice and roomy and was clean. Was a bit of a wait to check-in as staff were busy. I felt that the toilets in the restaurant area were in need of a refurbishment, the radiators were rusty and the hand dryers were also rusty. Just looked tired in the ladies. Breakfast was good but the coffee was awful. I overheard someone complain it was like water and someone came and just added more instant coffee to the jug. Thankfully I had decaffeinated from a sachet. Little things like good coffee make a difference. I would stay again as it's in a great place with nice views. Plus has a good restaurant for meals during the day and evening.

We always stay at Penny Hedge when visiting Whitby. The rooms are clean, bed comfortable bath and shower all good. The restaurant and bar areas have a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Breakfast is very good, we had an excellent evening meal there. The food and service was lovely. We took advantage of an email offer that we had received with a very generous 40% off main meals. The staff are really friendly and helpful, from checking in, eating drinking at the bar/ restaurant. The housekeeping staff to checking out. Thank you for a lovely stay at Penny Hedge We will be returning. .
