Top 10 The Resolution Hotels

What a fantastic hotel, everything was spot on including the reception desk staff, the large deluxe room, the restaurant staff and the amazing breakfast. This hotel has its own car park over the road, which we were able to use before our allocated booking in time. The staff were very attentive and nothing was a problem. The location was 5min walk from the whale bone arch and a nice 15min walk I to town. We will definitely be visiting again

The house on the photo is both a pub and a hotel. It is translated as ”White Horse and Lion Beast” and we stay here. When I left the store, I took this booklet at the bar, knowing that it was the place where Captain Cook recruited sailors more than 200 years ago. A few years ago, I went to Mount Cook, the highest peak in New Zealand. Now I fly over half of the earth to the hometown of the explorer who first landed in New Zealand. Unintentionally, history is connected at the foot.

The staff were absolutely fantastic, nothing was too much trouble and so friendly

On arrival we found our marked car park slot and then found the public areas of the hotel were very pleasant, I think all fairly recently refurbished. Our room overlooked the harbour and the abbey which was the best view one could ask for. The room had apparently been given a makeover in the Shearings era but they hadn't touched the bathroom which was clean but a bit decrepit. The only only issue with the bedroom was that the door could be opened with a loyalty card (I proved it). To renovate the rooms but not the bathrooms must have been an accountant's decision! To be fair the current management company are working hard with upgrades; we saw the evidence of this as we moved around the hotel. The hotel is beautifully situated but be prepared for some steep hills to get about. We noticed that the tourist bus made a stop at the hotel and found this the best way to get across to the abbey. Plus you get an interesting commentary about Whitby on the way across town. Breakfast was good, a couple of evenings we ate in the bar which was interesting as the local folk musicians had a jam session on the Friday evening! Yes, we would stay here again as long as we could choose a fully renovated room with harbour/abbey view.
