Beautiful Whitby lots of history and lots of fish and chips

[@robertbrailsford3335]

I stayed 4 nights at Spoons Hotel in Minehead, It was the best hotel I've ever stayed at. The room was really spacious and the bathroom had a walk in shower which is better for me. There were ample hot drinks in the room and the staff even asked me if I wanted more. The wifi was excellent with a good seating area for using my laptop. I'm always up early so breakfast at 7 was a bonus for me. I caught four buses to get there and using my bus pass it only cost me £2 to get there. It was £56 a night so overall a nice cheap holiday in a nice area. I'll certainly be using Spoons hotels again.

[@andycooke6231]

I have stayed there and as you say it was a great hotel for a great price, there is no parking but receptionist directed us to local street with free parking.

[@sandraheaton4929]

Weve stayed in the Angel hotel weatherspoons a couple of times steven our room both times was facing the harbour a family room it was lovely & lovely & clean we would stop in the Angel hotel again if ever we go back to whitby the room you stayed in steven was lovely, keep up the good work 👏.

A nice step up from sleeping in the StarBus Steve, I’m glad you’re treating yourself to the finer things in life.

It's a good place to stay, Clean and tidy with nobody else's ornaments and stuff ( Cos that makes my skin crawl). Don't forget you can use your mug down stairs at the drinks machine for free, just change it for a clean one at the bar then take it back up when your done.😊 It's free for residents.xx

[@theabandonedhunter3604]

Top video Sir, I enjoyed Whitby when I went. Magpie Cafe is a must for Fish & Chips! The Weatherspoons hotel looked good!! Robin Hoods Bay…. A little hidden gem! ….. Smithy

[@glenshea1967]

Magpie is extortionate. Hadley's is lovely. Over the bridge up from the dolphin pub.

[@Shazzadut1]

I’m from Australia, but if I ever get to Whitby I’d stay there quite happily. Nice room, and lovely and clean. Close to everything. And great price. Fish and chips right next door, or downstairs. Lovely sea front. I also saw a video of another Wetherspoons Hotel and it was lovely too. Family room was £79. Very reasonable for a traveller.

[@RadioJonophone]

Whitby is a great day trip for me from Newcastle. I have driven there, but usually travel by train. That Wetherspoon hotel was well presented and seemed good value, I'm almost tempted to give it a go. Whitby is a lot more refined than Blackpool, or even Scarborough - smaller, of course but theres's plenty to explore. You are right about the seagulls, they are after your chips with a vengeance. Thanks for your video.

[@NormaTate-w5u]

I agree I'm from Sunderland and go to whitby 4 times a year from a day out to wkends away hope u are well

Good memories of holidays in Whitby at the Royal Hotel. Spending most of my pocket money in the arcades within an hour of arriving😅. The harbour was thriving with fishing boats bringing their catch in back then.

[@gazellis1961]

Been waiting for this video Stephen, hope you had a great trip,always loved Whitby cant wait to see the rest of the vlog.

[@johngelson2948]

We live about 20 miles inland from Scarborough, 25 from Whitby and visit both on the Coastliner bus fairly regularly. Being a bigger town, Scarborough has more shops and attractions, especially in summer - while Whitby has the history and atmosphere. The Grand Hotel has seen better days but has lots of potential for a new owner with seriously deep pockets to invest in it. When in Whitby I sometimes have lunch at the Angel Hotel, one of the best Wetherspoons I've been to. It's all very different to Blackpool and the Fylde, I enjoy both really ... watching you visit the Yorkshire coast for the first time reminds me how lucky we are to have it all on the doorstep 🙂

[@susanhoward47]

Whitby is beautiful, that hotel is fab for the money.Sad demise at The Grand in Scarborough, when we went the hotel was filthy.Sad as the staff are really nice so I don't know what's gone on there.Thank you for your great videos.

Whitby looks like an amazing place to stay, a nice little seaside town. A great video of Whitby Stephen and the hotel, great value on the hotel, looks like a very nice place to stay, was surprised how glamorous the Weatherspoons hotels are 😊

[@Alice-hp6yb]

I’ve been to this hotel for drinks and food lots of times for the usual excellent value Weatherspoon offerings. Much prefer the upstairs bar on the first floor, especially the window seats that open right out with views to the harbour. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to stay at the hotel it looks fab!!

Totally agree!

[@tomwilliams7391]

Wetherspoons hotels are pretty good, better than other chains like Travelodge. The food although pub chain food, is better in Spoons than Brewers Fayre and the drinks selection, particularly ale is better and cheaper than all other chains.... That looks a particularly good Wetherspoons!

[@SteveRiceDJPUD]

Love whitby n nice to see ya on ya travels.. We've stopped in Angel twice n can't knock it...modern/clean n tidy...drinks n food on tap at great prices. Fab Whitby to explore whats not to ❤

Ooooh so jealous! You'll love going up to the Abbey. It was the inspiration for Bram Stokers Dracula! You could go on a ghost tour there! You should get the room free for your good opinion of the hotel and the advertising!

Whitby is one of my favourite places on the coast. We used to go 3 or 4 times a year on holiday when i was a kid in the 70s. My mothers ashes are scatterd at the top of the cliffe in St Marys church yard and we go over every Xmas eve to put some flowers on the fence.. Beautiful place. Sandsend just up the coast is also belting and can be reached via the promeade on the beach providing the tide is out. Staithes is a really quaint little village further up the coast. It is usually alot quieter tbf..Very picturesque..You should come over to Whitby for the Goth weekends in April and November. Busy as feck but some real characters knocking about..👍👍

The Angel hotel in Whitby has lovely memories for me. I stayed there a few years ago with my now late husband and we had a lovely weekend. I'm trying to pluck up the courage to stay there on my own sometime. I'm not feeling that brave yet though. We always loved Whitby and would drive down just for a day out. We'd enjoy fish n chips 😊 before heading for home again.

Thanks Anne. Sorry to hear about your loss.

[@davidwil58]

I’ve stayed at a few Wetherspoons Hotels and they’ve always been very good, and great value. Haven’t seen inside the Whitby one as I live nearby so don’t need to stay over. Whitby itself is rammed in summer, and busy almost all year round.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I'd like to go in summer, but I bet it's a struggle to find a parking space.

[@stephenmcculley7]

The trick with the card powering the lights is that you can use any card with a magnetic strip on the back, so certain loyalty cards will also power the lights as well, very useful if you don't was to keep re-inserting your room card into the slot every time you enter the room. I know this is the case with Premier Inns and it's probably the same with Wetherspoons.

[@carlrobson5745]

Stayed in July in that hotel enjoyed whitby so much so we've rebooked for next year one of the balcony rooms which go very quickly to get one we had to book on the day of check out they are that popular, the car park is very busy had to drive around for ages to get a spot. You can buy a permit for the week from the tourist information buliding situated in the car park. peak season the seagulls like to wake you up early so anyone stopping here take that into consideration. I peronally would avoid the breakfast the worst I've had and turn left out of reception walk up the bank 30 seconds to the singing kettle on the right a much better breakfast for the same price. The aficionado Simon from youtube simply whitby sat there as you walked in.

Hello Stephen, apart from your double act videos with Lee aka MacMaster this is my first A walk on the wild side😊. Having become an addicted viewer to Simplely Whitby with Simon and the divine Mrs M, have seen most of the sights there. However, they never took us to a Whitby hotel room 😮 So your the first person to share your room with me 😂boy it was interesting. Brilliant room,all you wanted & needed for a nights stay. And bonus 😊❤ breakfast & beer (after 09.00) just downstairs ! Belting good deal.Once the Lottery Cheque is cleared, the summer arrives. And trains run properly. Im in like Flynn😂 May even get the on the road to Blackpool to share a pint,when it all kicks off ❤😂 take care,stay safe,healthy & happy Allan&Family 😊 Will you get a postcard from Perth do you think,telling you about the best fish'n'chips 😂

[@Ian-gw2vx]

As the anniversary is looming on the 9th April for the 50th year since the Dr Who exhibition opened, it would be great to have a feature on this. Perhaps a look at the current building where it once stood on 111 Central Promenade. I remember my first visit in the summer of 1974 and being terrified but equally fascinated by seeing the monsters up front. The tardis was the entrance where you paid your fee to go down some steps into the basement. I have often wondered what that building is like now and if still used.

That's impressive for what you'd expect to be a basic hotel room from a big pub chain! Regarding the pillows did you check the labels of the ones in the wardrobe?
