The Shepherd's Purse

Located centrally in Whitby, this accommodation provides friendly service, clean and spacious rooms with amenities, and a superb breakfast at the on-site restaurant. However, some guests found it too noisy during peak hours.

Beautiful place ❤️ central to everything so ideal location. The rooms beautifully decorated. People that run it lovely and helpful. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Few downside esp if u have mobility problems. 1. We couldn't park in the carpark closer to the rooms( no parking at the hotel you have to pay £9/10 per day for parking ), it's a very small carpark, we tried all 4 days we were there. The next carpark is a 20/30min walk depending on mobility, also there are alot of steep steps, I really struggled, going up for me was impossible my partner had to come pick me up for car journeys. If your in a wheelchair it is not possible to get down from the top carpark. 2. We were in the bottom rooms, ground floor. unfortunately you hear everything that's going on in the above rooms 😔 talking, swearing, people walking about, taps, toilet flushing etc we got woken up quite a few times in the middle of the night, at one point had to go out and ask the people above to please stop banging around it sounded like there were moving furniture. If u struggle sleeping get a room on top floor.(This was a big disappointment for me as I struggle to sleep as it is). 3. The courtyard/garden bit isn't private, I have ME/CFS so needed to rest bk in the room. Unfortunately had people just wandering up into the courtyard, few times children tried to open our door, this also included at night, drunk people wondering into the courtyard. It would be best if you could lock the gate at night at least. I would go back again but would definitely book a room on the top floor. Other then the above, the rooms and court yard are magical and well kept and clean. Beds comfy, towels included and shampoo etc.

A lovely little hideaway in the heart of Whitby. The room we had was very small but having said that, it was ok for a two night stay with everything that you need. The shower, although also very small was powerful with loads of instant hot water. The lady we interacted with was lovely which sums up the whole experience. Although small it was just the right price and we can have no complaints. Would we stay again? Definitely.
