Celebrating 10 wonderfull years at The Belfry Whitby
This year has been a special one for us at The Belfry Whitby — we celebrated our 10th anniversary running our beautiful Bed and Breakfast here on the stunning West Cliff.
Over the past decade, we’ve seen it all: the Beast from the East, police visits, renovations, lockdowns, bats, floods, dolphins, golden beach sunsets — and of course, countless flights of stairs! It’s been a journey filled with laughter, hard work, and unforgettable memories.
We feel incredibly lucky to call Whitby our home. Every day, this seaside town takes our breath away — from the dramatic cliffs to the charming harbour and cobbled streets. Living and working in a place that constantly makes you reach for your camera is something we’ll never take for granted.
None of this would be possible without our wonderful guests. Over the last 10 years, we’ve welcomed so many amazing people through our doors — many of whom have become like family. Sharing our favourite Whitby spots, swapping stories, getting restaurant recommendations and you watching our family grow has been one of the greatest joys of this journey.
We’re also thrilled to announce that in 2025 we were honoured with the TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Award – Best of the Best Hotel, placing us in the top 1% of TripAdvisor’s 1.6 million listings worldwide. This incredible recognition means the world to us. Thank you to every guest who has shared their experiences and taken the time to write a review — your words make all the difference.
As we look ahead to the next decade, we can’t wait to welcome new and returning guests to The Belfry Whitby. Whether you’re discovering Whitby for the first time or returning to your favourite getaway, we look forward to sharing more memories, more sunsets, and even more breakfast together.
Here’s to the next 10 years! 💙
