Mandy and her staff were exceptionally accommodating and very friendly. The location was beautifully quaint and we were able to sightsee the local seaside villages and towns very easily. I have food restrictions and Mandy was so gracious to offer alternative options for breakfast. We would definitely stay here again! Lovely people and lovely country!
This charming family-run hotel has a great restaurant and a wonderful, peaceful location on Whitby’s West Cliff, near the seafront and within walking distance of the town center.

Everything was exceptional.
The food was amazing! We had a Sunday Roast when we arrived which was delicious and a great portion. The individual gravy boats were a massive hit as we all love gravy.
We had breakfast included in our stay and it's definitely a great breakfast. You can tell everything is made with top ingredients and a good variety on offer.
The staff.. wow! The service at breakfast in particular was amazing. We were constantly asked if we wanted anything else, any additional drinks etc. All the staff were polite and just super friendly.
The rooms were beautiful. Loved the decor and super clean.
Our toddler decided his favourite thing to do was put his shoe in the bin in the bedroom. Although we kept taking it out we didn't realize he did it again and the bins were emptied. We explained to the staff before we left AND THEY CHECKED THE BINS FOR US! We have been reunited with his shoe. I am so thankful for them even offering to check the bins, luckily it was the first one they checked. If that doesn't say enough about the staff and the service I don't know what will.
There was a lovely outdoor play area which our son loved. A little mini golf which he walked through but didn't play and it's opposite a reservoir to it's a beautiful location.
If we are ever up that way again I will not hesitate to make a return visit.

Lovely little pub, staff very friendly and helpful. Stayed for dinner and breakfast included. Food was excellent. Room was clean, comfortable and very quiet. Would definitely recommend.
The area was very pretty and easy to get to. The views are stunning from the cliff tops. Our accommodation was in a great location, very quiet and peaceful. Very steep hill to the beach, not for the feint hearted. There is a Pay & Display carpark at the bottom, but it takes only cash, unless you download an app. There is a Co-op in the next village and a number of places to eat. Locals were very friendly and informative. The walk along the Cleveland Way was was easily accessible. Great for dog owners. Never managed to walk on the beach as when high tide it was difficult to clamber over the boulders at the entrance to it, it is possible but care needs to be taken. In April high tide was in the afternoon. Plenty of people did manage it but be aware that it is rocky and pebbly. Important to know the times of the tides.

Stayed 3 nights at Salt & Seaweed, a 3 bedroom cabin.
Stayed 3 nights at Salt & Seaweed, a 3 bedroom cabin. It was very secure due to it being in a gated complex. There were 3 areas to sit outside, so followed the sun! It was very peaceful and quiet. The cabin was spacious and had everything we needed. We ate at the Firs restaurant one evening, a short walk away. The food was excellent and well priced. We walked the coastal route to Staithes, a few challenging areas with steep steps, but my 75yr old parents survived it! I would recommend Salt & Seaweed.

Runswick is perfect if you want a beach holiday and a walking holiday as the Cleveland Way passes through it; one way to Staithes and the other way to Whitby. There are no shops but Hinderwell is very near and has the odd shop or Staithes is about 7 mins in the car and that has a Co-op on the outskirts as you approach it on the main road plus some niche shops in the actual town centre.

breakfast was brilliant, plenty of choices.
breakfast was brilliant, plenty of choices.
accessability needs working on, entrances and exit doorways didnt have enough turning room for mobility scooter. We had room 8 with a wetroom but it wasn't big enough. obscured windows and tatty curtains that i had to stand on the sofa to draw. all in all the room was just not big enough.
The house is in a great location behind the Runswick Bay Hotel. Bus route runs past too if you want to go into Whitby. We walked from the house to Staithes along the coast and got the bus back.
The house is very comfortable with great bathrooms. Nice patio behind for when the weather is favourable.
If you are long, I'm 6ft3, one of the beds is shorter than the other. I didn't fit in one but the other was perfect!
The house, overall, was better than expected and would recommend to others as a great place to stay.
Very warm welcome from the staff, lovely large cosy room with four post bed and gorgeous bathroom. There was Fresh cake and tea & coffee facilities, as well as fresh milk in a little fridge in the room. The breakfast was first class with loads of choices and there was also a restaurant in situ, The Runswick Catch, which was a fish restaurant. We ate there the first night and the food was delicious. Location is great at the top of Runswick Bay with parking on site. Great stay and we would come again.
The location of the lodge (far corner) was perfect, nice and quiet and not overlooked. The lodge itself was immaculate, beautiful decor and spotlessly clean. There was plenty of room for all 5 of us to sit inside, and outside there were two seating areas so we could move with the sun! A 20 minute drive into Whitby and Runswick bay was only a 5 minute walk away.
Lovely small hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. The room was cosy and clean, good size bathroom with a bathtub and window. Breakfast was superb. The location is excellent, upper village in Runswick Bay. The beach is few minutes walk, it is a steep slope, but this is unavoidable in Yorkshire.
Enviable position with lovely view and room was large but unappealingly dark and unwelcoming ! The staff on duty were pleasant and helpful and made an effort to respond to basic requests of what was expected to be provided in any hotel room ! however no hanging space at all not possible of course
Great house
Easy access with lockbox
Comfortable with nice warm living room and huge beds
Beautiful bathroom with an amazing bath and spacious rainforest shower
Close walk to Runswick Bay beach
Close drive or longer walk to Staithes
Amazing value really
The room was spacious and with all the mod cons. The breakfast was amazing. There was nothing on the menu you couldn't have wished for. The staff was very friendly. The Firs now also has a restaurant with lovely seafood on the menu.
The location was fabulous, beautiful view over Runswick bay. Located on a very quiet country lane.
The house was superb,spacious,light and airy.
All rooms are en-suite.
Everything was of the highest standard.
Normanby Cottage is a little bijou gem ! Brilliantly located in an elevated location and close to the Royal Hotel, who would kindly bring pre-ordered meals up to the cottage.
Marvellous in every way !
Fab location, just on the coastal path and very close to runswick beach. Beautiful garden behind the hut, the hut was lovely and warm with the electric fire on, lovely comfy bed and a fab BBQ too.
