6th stay at Sawyers Yard and will book again for next December. The accommodation is perfectly placed for a stay in Whitby. Located right next to the harbour, within easy walking distance of the town center and close to a couple of pubs and eateries. Limited free parking nearby but a pay and display car park within 100 yards.Accomodation is well appointed and is always warm and welcoming on arrival.
