What's this?
We have two great selections of hotels tailored to make your short break just the way you like it.
Bay Hotels - these hotels represent all that is best about Shearings - the warmth, the hospitality, the comfort, the great entertainment and all round great value.
Coast & Country - each hotel has a comfortable bar and lounge offering the perfect place to relax and unwind and our restaurants pride themselves on offering good food and a choice of wines.
High on the West Cliff, the Royal occupies a commanding position with wonderful views over the beaches, harbour and lovely old town, and towards the dramatic abbey ruins. Bursting with seafaring heritage, Whitby's ancient streets invite you to step back in time, so much so that you can almost expect to bump into Captain Cook when following his trail! Step inside the Royal, meanwhile and you'll be taken into another world of holiday relaxation and fun. With a variety of games, activities, a comfortable lounge and an entertainment room where you can 'trip the light fantastic', there's plenty to entertain.
The hotel has a car park. Alternatively street parking is available or there is a public car park located nearby. (Parking charges apply).

A party of four of us have just stayed here for the weekend (Fri-Sun). We found the hotel room very good, with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in any hotel. We paid extra for a sea view which was lovely. The food was excellent, served very quickly and efficiently by friendly staff, who were really on the ball. We had plenty of hot water and the rooms were warm. The only criticism I have is the general shabby state of the building, which was a letdown. Should be refurbished.

We visited the Royal for tinsel & turkey. The hotel was ok but a little dated... Can't fault the staff, they were great especially in the dining room, they couldn’t do enough for us. The entertainment wasn’t up to much for a t & t visit only had two artists on over the 4 night stay. Over all we had a great time there. would definitely recommend The hotel.

Staying at the Royal Hotel has always been one of the things I want to do before I die and it didn't disappoint I absolutely loved it true there are areas that are a bit dated but it adds to the character. The waiting on staff couldn't be faulted (are they Polish) our waiter (Michael) couldn't have done more for us he was efficient to the letter we loved him. The cleaning staff were also super efficient you couldn't fault them. All in all a brilliant holiday thank you Shearings and Tony.

Just a brief note to thank all concerned for an excellent (and apparently no expense spared) Christmas. We changed Hotels at virtually the last minute as we have stayed at the Royal on numerous occasions but never at Christmas. What a good move it turned out to be! The staff (as ALWAYS) were most attentive and helpful and we would certainly wish to use room 3 when we next come to Whitby which will happen in the near future. Thank you ALL once again for making Christmas so enjoyable.
