Bed & Breakfast - Tables and seating are all moveable and 'carver' chairs are available for people who need extra support or lift.

• Table sizes and style vary and all tables are able to accommodate wheelchair seating.
• Freshly prepared to order and local fresh seasonal ingredients.
• The owners of the guesthouse make their own marmalade, jams and breads for breakfast, the bacon and sausage is supplied by a traditional local butcher (Breckons Butchers, Golden Lion Bank, Whitby) and is sourced in Yorkshire with full traceability. This enables us to identify where the meat we buy came from, even our black pudding which is award winning, is made in Yorkshire by Arthur Haigh ltd, Thirsk.
• All fish and seafood are from a local fish merchant in Staithes (Whitby Seafish) who also have their own smokehouse- so our kippers, smoked haddock and mackerel that we serve are again award winning local produce.
• The green grocers (Taylors of Pickering) also supply with dairy farm milk and yogurt and the eggs are supplied by Hawthorne Farm, Ellerby which can be seen from the dining room window.
