Location & Nearby

The guesthouse is a 10-minute walk from Whitby's harbor, blue-flag beach, and attractions like St. Mary's Church and the Whalebone Arch. Sandsend Beach, 2 miles away, has safe paddling areas. The North York Moors National Park and Dalby Forest are a short drive away.

Check-in runs from 9am to 9pm, with self-check-in via door code after noon. Rooms must be vacated by 10am. Smoking incurs a £100 cleaning fee. Lost keys cost £100 for lock replacement. Group bookings for events like stag parties are restricted.

Transport & Directions

Kimberley House is at the crossroads of Hudson Street and Havelock Place. Durham Tees Valley Airport is 70 km away. From York, take the A64 and A169; from Middlesbrough, follow the A171. Free parking is available nearby.

“Kimberley House strikes me as a particularly thoughtful choice for families, offering unique multi-room setups designed with young children in mind. The owners seem to prioritize a personal touch, from curated local dining recommendations to smooth, code-based check-ins. Its proximity to both the town and beach makes it a prime spot for exploring Whitby.”

parking pass welcome pack brown stains blood stain
The provided parking pass was a amazing perk since parking can be difficult. I also liked the easy check-in. A welcome pack had our keys and parking pass ready for us when we arrived.
The room had a carpet with brown stains and I did find a slug there. There was also dust on paintwork and a small blood stain on the duvet cover, this was not appreciated.
