Charming Victorian, family run Bed & Breakfast, quietly situated in a secluded part of Whitby, yet within close proximity to both the sea front and the bus & rail stations in the centre of Whitby. Guest facilities include 2 Large and 1 Standard double en-suite bedroom. All rooms are equipped with colour TV/DVD, Tea/Coffee/Chocolate making facilities, hairdryer and radio alarm. A choice of items from our full English breakfast is served, complimented by local award winning 'Bothams' Tea and/or fresh ground coffee. We can offer a pickup/drop off service
Peter and Paula have owned Riftswood B&B for 14years now and have loved every minute of it. We have always loved Whitby and had dreamt of running our little B&B, and here we still are, still loving meeting guests old and new. We look forward to welcoming you to our little B&B.
