“The Chiltern Guest House strikes me as a welcoming base to experience Whitby, particularly its literary connections. Its West Cliff location sounds ideal for tracing the footsteps of Bram Stoker, with comfortable rooms offering a relaxing retreat after exploring the coastal path. It's the sort of place that encourages a deeper connection with the town's history and atmosphere.”
