Sanders Yard - A family-owned 3-star guesthouse with historic cottages and an on-site bistro in Whitby's Old Town

Sanders Yard offers four guest rooms and three holiday cottages, each featuring unique decor, ensuite or private bathrooms, and locally sourced amenities like Botham's biscuits and Yorkshire tea. The quirky double bedroom in The Old Dispensary includes a wrought iron bed under beamed ceilings, while Jade Attic features a roll-top bath. Guests can dine at Sanders Yard Bistro, serving home-cooked meals with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The property is located on Church Street, a cobbled road near Whitby Abbey, the 199 Steps, and sandy beaches. Some rooms allow well-behaved dogs, though Jade Attic is pet-free. The nearest airport, Durham Tees Valley, is 75 km away.
