Owned and run by three generations of the Newton Family since 1946, the Saxonville Hotel has a 3 star rating with VisitBritain. Well situated on Whitby's West Cliff, the comfort and hospitality of the Saxonville Hotel can be found just a few minutes stroll from the narrow streets and winding alleyways of this delightful, historic town. To ensure the safety of yourselves and our staff we have made a few small but significant changes. Check-in time is from 3pm. This allows us more time to ensure all the rooms as deep cleaned and sanitized before you arrive.

Guests return again and again to enjoy the spacious and attractive Fairfield Restaurant for delicious cuisine prepared daily in our kitchens. Enjoy traditional English fayre from our Table d'hote menu, complemented by the special sweet trolley selection of mouthwatering desserts.

The quaint streets of Whitby, leading to the harbour, which provided the inspiration for Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula", are now filled curios, antiques and small shops where personal service is still the rule, making browsing and shopping a real pleasure. Perched high on the east cliff proudly stands the haunting remains of Whitby's magnificent Abbey, founded by St Hilda in 657ad.

The staff were frriendly and helpful. The rooms are well furnished and clean, with quality furnishings. The hairdryer is near the mirror, which is not the case in all hotels. The food is excellent, served in a beautiful dining room, with full waitress service. The hotel is just a short walk to benches overlooking the sea. Overall, a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely clean hotel. Every single member of staff is polite and happy. You are made to feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble for them. Totally enjoyed our stay here. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Great location too. A nice walk into town and the beach. Highly recommended. Thank you very much x

We wanted to change our reservation to a year later with the Saxonville as one of our parents had become critically ill and required full time care. Unfortunately Saxonville refused (via Expedia). We rang them up to try and resolve but they flatly refused saying that we should have booked direct. We spoke to Expedia who were more than happy to change the booking, but the hotel refused, citing that we booked a non-transferable rate. We were happy to pay extra but again the hotel refused to book the same room for a year later! Disgraceful attitude with absolutely zero compassion for our situation.

Really enjoyed our stay. Very clean, freshly refurbished, large comfortable bed, attention to details, friendly staff. The breakfast was delicious with good choice served high level with that nice tableware. Every night after long busy day we had our "night cuppa" at the bar and guy there was very friendly and chatty. Would definitely recommend

This is not ultra posh, my room had no brilliant sea views. What it had was a rather nice atmosphere and excellent service. My visit was during covid restrictions. The place was spotlessly clean. The food was good. A minutes walk got you to West Cliff. I got the impression that some guests were regular returners. I'm glad I found it. I will most certainly go back.

Everything was in place for us to feel safe to enjoy our holiday in these unusual times. Hand sanitizers were strategically placed in public areas. A welcome pack including a mask wS in our bedroom. We went half board, the food was absolutely delicious and we avoided queues at restaurants in the town. I had followed the arrangements being made at the hotel and they were true to their word. We had an excellent break thanks to all their forward thinking.
