Paul and Julia run a lovely house. They were welcoming and helpful. Our room was spacious and well appointed, with a lovely new shower. The bus stop is right out the front door and Pannett Park with its Whitby museum are within a 2 minute walk. Town is less than 10 minutes on foot. Breakfast was wonderful each day and my only regret is not planning a longer stay!

Spotless room, excellent breakfast, amazing hosts.

A weekend away to celebrate our 31st anniversary started with the poring rain which didn't stop all weekend! We met our hosts Julia and Paul on arrival and were shown our immaculate room on the first floor, spotless, large room with two chairs for a comfortable seat whilst watching a bit of TV. Breakfast is/was pre order which we think is the best option. Quick and delicious. Everything was to perfection. Julia and Paul couldn't do enough for any of their guests. Thank you for a great weekend away [apart from the wind and rain].

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The service, Julia was a wonderful host, and gave me an upgraded room which was lovely and en-suite. This was an extremely good, and professional thing to do, as the property, was empty of guests at the time. The breakfasts were fine, and on-time, and Julia and Paul were excellent hosts, who recommended a great place for a meal, and supplied my own keys, as well as treating me to an Hot Chocolate. The parking round the area, would have worried me, but I managed to get a space at the front of the building. All in all, I could not have asked, for a better place too stay, or better service. I would go back in a flash, but they are hoping to sell up.

This was a lovely place to stay. It was close enough that the amenities were close by but far away enough that it was peaceful. We had a good sized room with a modern ensuite bathroom and everything was very clean. Julia and Paul were accommodating and very friendly throughout our stay. The breakfast was a lovely start to the day and plenty of options were available. Parking spaces were available at the front

Pleasant vacation

Just returned from a 4 night stay at Glenora, a solo trip which was most enjoyable. Julia was a perfect host who prepared a substantial breakfast which sustained me until an evening meal. Would definitely return.
