La Rosa turned out to be the most unusual hotel we've ever stayed in. The location is excellent, the ground floor tea rooms barely used but tables perfect for board games and jigsaw puzzles. Stairs quite a lot so do check if you have mobility issues. Rooms what can I say very atmospheric and quirky so check the photos carefully so you know what you are signing up for. No TV hallelujah. No shower but hey we have one at home whereas we don't have an old fashioned deep bath so what an experience. Staff were friendly, as was the elderly dog who was clearly in overall charge. Definitely a holiday to remember.

Wonderful stay in Scarbados at this friendly, funky and brilliantly sited hotel. The view from our room was straight across to the Abbey. Very enjoyable continental breakfast and lovely deep roll top bath. I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to avoid dull corporate hotels. Our only slight negative was the fact it was not as comfortable as our own bed and it was very warm for sleeping despite the fan provided.

Lovely qwerky hotel , all themed rooms , fabulous view of harbour and abbey, one of the staff even stayed on phone and directed us round to the hotel

La Rosa is one on it's own. It's a unique place to stay. If you're wanting the general grey, black and white decorations then don't go there. It is Victorian in style and they have obviously searched all over to find little artifacts to match the theme of the rooms, each one different. The views over the harbour and wide open sea and over to the Abbey are incredible. The staff are really friendly and will do anything they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. John the dog will bark a welcome each time you come in. A special shout out to Rob who we saw most - the music he played was brilliant when we had a night in the cocktail bar playing Scrabble. No fridge is the only down point, and I am scraping the barrel here, cos they gave me a little ice bucket to keep milk for tea and coffee in so we were fine. Really loved it and we will be back. Thank you for a great stay!

Loved how quirky the hotel is. The owners are so helpful and pleasant. The best continental breakfast we have had. Lovely to be greeted by John the dog he is gorgeous. There was nothing we didn't like.

A warm welcome at this unique and very lovely hotel. Staff throughout our stay were friendly, professional and helpful. Room (La Rosa) was fabulous, quirky, comfortable with all necessary amenities and a view of the coastline to die for! Cocktails in the library were gorgeous as was the continental breakfast we had in the tea room. Close to town and the beach, I would stay here again and have no hesitation recommending to others.

A lovely and unique place with stunning views over Whitby towards the Abbey (we had a room faving that way!) We were made very welcome and had a lovely stay! Would definitely go back and check out another one of their rooms!

Lovely comfortable bed. Very unique decor and staff very welcoming . Great location

What an amazing little gem of a hotel. So quirky with its wonderful themed rooms. We stayed in the Saloon which was based on a room in a an old western saloon. The ensuite had the most amazing stand alone roll top bath which could have fitted 2 without any problem. There is a lounge with a small bar where you can get the most incredible choice of cocktails that I have ever seen. There are also wines beers and spirits available. This was very cozy and comfortable and we finished off our evenings there each night of our stay. The view from the hotel which is situated at the top of the cliffs overlooking both the harbour and Whitby Abbey in the distance is beautiful.

Quirky but intersting decor. Lovely friendly staff and pooch! Fabulous outlook from the front of the property. Some nice touches like delivering breakfast to your door which had a good selection of breakfast items. Also, exquisite selection of toileteries.

Quirky and delightful

What a wonderful boutique hotel, such beauty and character. The most memorable part of our weekend away

The hotel and room were wonderfully quirky and fun. The staff were helpful and friendly. We can't wait to book again and stay in a different room!

The staff were great, really helpful. It’s quite a quirky hotel which is a really good thing!

Beautiful hotel, lots of character and really friendly staff. We stayed in La Rosa room and enjoyed a delicious cocktail in the lounge before going out to explore Whitby. Thoroughly recommend!

This hotel is really special. Great Victorian ambiance. Amazing view of the abbey and bay. Do not expect TV but wifi is good. Loved the all antique decor.

A unique and fabulously styled hotel, in a fantastic location. I've wanted to stay for a long time and it certainly lived up to expectations. Lovely team of folk behind it and we really enjoyed the cocktails. I look forward to visiting again, thankyou!

Quirky hotel where each room is themed. Decorated with lots of recycled vintage items. The room and en-suite were a good size. Our room had a view of the beach and Abbey. Orange juice delivered to our room each morning. Fabulous location- walking distance of the harbour etc.

The rooms and bar area are quirky and full of character. The view of Whitby and the abbey from the room was spectacular. John the reception / bar staff was brilliant throughout, and was always friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning!

Would highly recommend. Very friendly hosts. Nothing was too much. Room was clean and very well theme decorated.
