Ruswarp is a mile from the edge of Whitby by foot (there are several walking routes including one across an old viaduct), bus or train, plus it has a very acceptable pub. Ruswarp Hall dates from around 1600 and as the traveller pictures show (the 'professional' one is somewhere else entirely!) is attractive and characterful. My single room was rather... More

Stayed here whilst working in the area. Nice rooms, very clean and tidy. Staff friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Only downside was the total lack of mobile signal which I needed for work (minor complaint). Would recommend

My boyfriend and I booked for one night so we could spend a weekend in Whitby and was exactly what we expected given the cost and description. We travel a lot and stay in many B&Bs and so are very realistic about what to expect for our budgets. If u r more interested in spending time in Whitby and you... More

The hall has a grand entrance and beautiful staircase. It is a little basic and perhaps could do with an update on decor/soft furnishings but it was spotlessly clean, comfortable and we had a very warm welcome from the hosts. Breakfast was very good. The website appeared to show a bar which we never found, there was a very nice... More

We'd made it! The C2C was over and my mate had, 8 months earlier, booked us a table at The Magpie in Whitby and so we needed accommodation somewhere nearby. This was literally the only place where we could get a room, and indeed, we had to take a room for 4 for the 2 of us to share. We... More

Have stayed at Ruswarp Hall twice and have enjoyed both visits. It's quite basic but very welcoming and comfortable. It does feel like a step back in time but I think it's ideal for an hotel just outside of Whitby. The owners are very friendly and helpful and the breakfasts are superb. It does look like it needs a lick... More

We deliberately chose Ruswarp Hall for our visit to Whitby because it was just outside (about a mile) the town and this was a good choice because Whitby itself was very busy. There is a paved walk into town, although not suitable for less abled walkers (slopes, steps and uneven surfaces) but for us it was fine. Ruswarp Hall is... More

A warm welcome from Colin the owner greeted us to this quirky place of character. Having read other reviews our expectations were high, perhaps too high. Our room (no.5) had a delightful view from the large window but was sadly let down by the decor, furnishings and towels. The garden room (residents lounge) overlooked the sweeping lawns of the pleasant... More

We visited Ruswarp Hall with our Candian visitors,and really enjoyed our stay. The staff were very helpful and breakfast's were exceptional with lots of choice.We both had spacious bedrooms and comfortable beds.The garden was wonderful and tranquil...and nearby walks to Whitby and surroundings from this lovely village area. However with little attention to 'Room Detail' this could be a 5... More
