The Haven enjoys an ideal position in a small crescent of only nine properties, on the west cliff at Whitby overlooking the harbour entrance St Mary’s church & the ruins of St Hilda’s Abbey, only a short walk from the town centre railway and bus stations, the cliffs and beach are also nearby.

Parking in Whitby is mostly unrestricted and free, the Haven is also within a few hundred metres of three pay and display car parks.

The Haven has been a guest house for twenty five years and is now owned and managed by Chris and Stevie Connell, who purchased the property in 2002, following a complete renovation, guests started to arrive to new surroundings in April 2003. The house has been tastefully decorated, and no expense has been spared on furnishings or comfort.

Rooms are normally ready to occupy around lunch time on day of arrival, and guests are requested to vacate rooms by 10.15 am on day of departure.

Please do not forget to hand your keys in before final departure.


We operate a strict no smoking policy.
