At Hillcrest you will find a grand old house with excellent breakfast, cooked to order and also to perfection. Steve and Jayne are obviously striving to provide good accomodation for the traveller. We think Joe L's review is about a different b & b!??

Not sure where the main photo accompanying this is is of, but it isn't the Hillcrest, Whitby. Just returned from a 3 night stay - lovely host/hostess, super premises, fabulous breakfast, cosy and comfortable room, great bathroom. I would definitely stay there again!

The Hillcrest Guesthouse, well what can I say about this place? I booked one of the premium rooms costing £100 a night for two nights over 5 weeks before my intended stay, at which time all the rooms were un-booked. When booking online it is possible to choose the arriving by car option and reserve a parking space. Upon arrival... More

Trip Advisor does allow us the benefit of a response and to that we will endeavour, for the benefit of others, to provide a response to your negative review. You did indeed book a four poster room, several weeks before your arrival. There is no where, on any of the on line booking forms/agents used, the opportunity to reserve a... More

We have just spent 2 nights at the Hillcrest, quite a good sized room overlooking the main road so a bit noisy at night, modern bathroom but not much storage space but shower was good, carpet in bedroom could do with a clean. Breakfast was excellent. No welcome from the owners as mentioned in previous reviews!

Enjoyed our night in the Ruswarp room very much. Owners very welcoming, allowing us to check in early and leave our car in their car park whilst enjoying the day. Clean, well decorated comfortable room and fantastic shower with a good breakfast to set us up for the day well. Would love to visit again and see what the other... More

I stayed here with my partner for a 2 night relaxing break, we were met by the waitress and shown to our room, she was very friendly and asked if we needed anything. We liked how we were left alone and not bothered by anyone, we were given the code for the door and came and went as we pleased,... More

Upon arrival we were informed that we had been upgraded to one of the Executive rooms due to it being calm during our mid week stay. We found the owners very pleasant and the car park was more than adequate for us. The property is a short walk from the marina, and despite being on a main road we found... More

I have often stayed at the Hillcrest on work related trips and found Jayne and Steve (the owners) helpful and accommodating, so am surprised to read some of these reviews. The location is good, with parking, which is a huge plus in Whitby. The breakfasts are hearty and well cooked, choice is brilliant, love the smoked salmon and scrambled egg,... More

We have just returned from a weekend break in Whitby at the Hillcrest guest house. On arrival we were met by the cleaner / waitress who showed us to our rooms, I would have at least expected to be met by one of the owners to give us a friendly welcome and to show us round the place. We did... More
