Perfect, cosy and wonderful
It was amazing, the service and the personal touch was perfect. Really enjoyed the breakfast it’s such a good idea ordering it the night before to save wasting food. All questions were answered straight away and in a friendly way. The room was clean and it had a great selection of tea and coffee with biscuits too. For my first time to Whitby, it was the best place to stay.

A great customer service from the confirmation of the booking to leaving. All staff are friendly and helpful, the room was clean and spacious. I think it was the little touches such as Zed coming round at breakfast time checking in with everyone that they are ok.

Sea view room
I was informed about being on the 4th floor in advance of my stay, which was not a problem. However, the stairway is steep and has many doors to pass through. The room itself is compromised for height by being in the eaves but not a problem for a solo traveller. Would be a different review if I had been offered this"luxury" double room as a couple

A reasonably priced guest house which is very convenient for the beach walk and the town centre. Very good choices at breakfast. Parking is, maybe inevitably, a trial!

More than 199 steps 😁
Excellent choice for a last minute visit to Whitby. Stunning views overlooking the sea and a perfect location for exploring everything Whitby has to offer. Super clean and modern room and lovely full English breakfast. Nothing at all to complain about. If you can mange the 199 steps you will be fine here 😁
Even the bathroom had a wonderful view

Great place to stay
Great B n B in a fab position just near the whale bone arch. We had top floor sea view room, nice n quiet (not good for less mobile) the lady owner had e mailed beforehand to check we were ok with stairs(we are). Shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom, with heated towel rail. Plenty of plug sockets to go at. Tcmf and biscuits in the room, along with wine glasses and tumblers. Hairdryer in the drawer. Plenty of wardrobe space , ironing board. Really comfy bed. Top floor hallway area was a bit chilly...as was the room (14)...but it does say in the welcome book to turn it on and heat up to your own needs...which we did... big electric wall heater which heats up fast and gets the room really cosy. Nice hot fast shower. Lovely brekky (pre order from welcome book and leave it downstairs in the box the night before). Lovely ladies working the brekky room both days. Free parking outside (only valid mid oct-mid march...due to seasonal months)...in high season...follow parking permit instructions.

Fantastic stay!
Such a lovely place, would recommend it very highly. Room was lovely and clean with a spectacular sea view. Breakfast was gorgeous too! We got a parking permit for £2 from the owner, so parking was sorted for the whole of our stay. Will definitely be back. Whitby is an amazing place and here is duch a fantastic location.

My review
Well looked after, the bedroom had a nice character, however the bathroom en suite has had some sort of a make over but not to the best standard.

Liked: Cleanliness
Location of guest house was excellent but as for all such properties in this area car parking has to be paid for using discs or cards purchased from the property. The Riviera was OK but not as good as we were expecting based on the historic reviews.

Overall stay was amazing, expectations exceeded. Despite the many Guest Houses, Riviera far proclaims the rest! Highly recommend people consider staying here. Close range to the beach and harbour, your feet get plenty of exercise. 25,700 steps on our first day there.
