About this property

Welcome to Seacrest Guesthouse

Seacrest Guesthouse, nestled at 10 Crescent Ave in Whitby, offers a charming coastal retreat that perfectly blends modern comfort with classic British charm. With a solid 4.4-star rating, this guesthouse stands out for its warm hospitality, thoughtful amenities, and a location just minutes from the beach.

Guests consistently praise the attentive and welcoming hosts, Alison and Andy, whose dedication to delivering a personal and memorable stay shines through. From early check-ins to friendly communication, their service goes beyond expectations, creating a home-away-from-home atmosphere. The inviting decor, a tasteful mix of contemporary furniture and the building’s heritage features, crafts an ambiance of understated elegance that guests cherish.

The rooms are a highlight—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. One guest recalled the delight of a top-floor room with a unique roof window framing calming sea views, a perfect spot for morning reflection or evening respite. The beds promise restful nights, while the subtle scents and quiet environment softly soothe the senses, though occasional thin walls might remind visitors of the authentic, lived-in charm of the historic structure.

Breakfast at Seacrest Guesthouse is more than just a meal; it is a feast of classic English flavors served with care. Guests mention the full English breakfast as an inviting start to their day, prepared fresh and enjoyed in a convivial setting. This, along with kid-friendly accommodations and a pet-free policy, ensures a tranquil experience catering to families and solo travelers alike.

Location is another asset. Situated just a brisk five-minute walk from the shoreline, guests find themselves perfectly placed to explore Whitby’s famed scenery, historic sites, and vibrant town life. While parking can be a challenge during busy times, the proximity to local landmarks and ease of access to sightseeing and recreation more than compensate.

Seacrest Guesthouse is not only a place to stay but a place to feel genuinely welcomed. It offers a blend of well-maintained comfort and heartfelt hospitality in a location that invites guests to slow down, explore, and savor the best of the English seaside. For those seeking a cozy retreat with a personal touch and an authentic seaside experience, Seacrest Guesthouse is a compelling choice.

We stayed in room 7 on Friday night and couldn't fault a thing. Not only did Andy text to see what time we'd be arriving, he also got our room ready significantly earlier than the stated check in time despite us saying we were happy to check in later in the day. We had a beautifully decorated top floor room with a roof window from which we could see the sea and after handing back the key the next day, my boyfriend was kindly able to leave his bag until our train later on. After talking about our bullie (the apple of my eye) and our concerns about bringing him to such a lovely place, we were assured he'd be welcome in the pet friendly guest room and seeing their beautiful boxer, I wouldn't feel judged by his breed or big personality and feel like we could easily relax with our fat headed goofball here. The location is perfect for quick access to shops and the beach and there were even recommendations for nearby breakfast places. We had the best time. Thank you!

We stayed for two nights. The room is very nice with modern furniture that fits perfectly with the old style of the building. The full English breakfast was lovely. Very welcoming. Would suggest arriving fairly early as finding a parking spot close can be tricky.

We had lovely stay at Guest house.Owners been my years serving guest with B&B and Alison &Andy decided to sell it, but someone pull out offer and they are still in business, and þrying hard to please guests. Lovely, clean, comfortable beds . Really nothing to complain. Just being grateful for paying reasonable price in lovely area, where buildings are great, owners are polite and welcoming, and nothing seems too much for them. Definitely we would back and stay next time. Was lovely to meet you. We had amazing weekend

Really great location, about a 5 minute walk to the beach, if that. We really enjoyed the breakfast. Be aware that you may not be able to park directly outside the B&B, I think we were just unfortunate to arrive when there was a wedding on, as there's a church not far away. The walls are quite thin and one night I was awake listening to a man snoring next door. Overall we enjoyed it here, and we would recommend

We have just returned from our 3 night bank holiday weekend stay. Really helpful host, Alison brilliant location. On street parking £2.50 per day, we were lucky enough to get a space right outside the guesthouse. We loved the boxer dog, looking out of the window when we left and came home. We would definately recommend this place to stay, Alison directed us to The Granby Hotel for a full English breakfast. This was a really great price, and enough to keep us going all day. We were really surprised that all of the drinks, boat trips were cheaper than expected at a seaside resort. Whitby is lovely, and we would recommend Seacrest guesthouse as a place to stay. Thank you.
