Sanders Yard - A family-run 3-star inn with cosy guest rooms and cottages near Whitby Abbey
Sanders Yard offers four ensuite guest rooms and three standalone cottages, each with distinct character-beamed ceilings, wrought-iron beds, and a roll-top bath in Jade Attic. Double rooms at Sanders Yard overlook the Old Market Place and West Cliff, with private bathrooms featuring rainfall showers. Breakfast is served daily at Sanders Yard Bistro, which provides vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The property sits on Church Street's cobbled stones, 500 meters from Whitby Abbey and beaches. Guest amenities include free Wi-Fi, TVs with Freeview, and laundry services. The Old Dispensary cottage, over 400 years old, is unsuitable for guests with mobility issues due to its three-level layout.
Pros
The property is 500 meters from Whitby Abbey and sandy beaches.
Sanders Yard Bistro serves locally sourced breakfast, including vegan and gluten-free options.
Each room includes Yorkshire tea and Botham's of Whitby biscuits.
Dogs are permitted in designated cottages for £10 per night.
Cons
Limited on-site parking requires use of nearby public car parks.
Church Street's cobbled terrain may challenge accessibility for some visitors.
“Sanders Yard stands out for its prime location just off Church Street, placing guests within easy reach of Whitby's attractions while maintaining a quiet atmosphere. The spacious rooms, particularly the Jade Attic, feature comfortable beds, stylish bathrooms with excellent power showers, and thoughtful touches like ample tea and coffee. The easy check-in process and responsive owners further contribute to a seamless and enjoyable stay.”
