The Shepherd's Purse

Tucked into Whitby’s Old Town on the East side of Church Street, this hidden garden guesthouse sits below the rooflines. You’re a 5-minute walk from Whitby Abbey, about 8–10 minutes on foot to Whitby Harbour and Whitby Beach, and just 0.1 miles from the Captain Cook Memorial Museum. North York Moors National Park and Bram Stoker Memorial Seat are close enough for day trips.

Just seven pretty guestrooms arranged around a galleried courtyard. Rooms feature stripped pine furniture, lacy curtains, four-poster and brass bedsteads, private balconies and china cups for morning tea. It’s a smoke-free stay with in-room TVs and a cozy, old-town vibe—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and cobbled-street views.

Hidden garden and galleried courtyard seating, private balconies, and a smoke-free property. Outdoor-activity lovers can surf or bodyboard nearby, sail, or hit hiking and biking trails along the coast and moors.

Free Wi-Fi across the property and English-speaking staff to help keep you connected.
