Beautiful Whitby lots of history and lots of fish and chips

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 👏.

[@centureye]

Looks lovely seaside town i heard that Whitby does have best fish and chips

[@martingregory9881]

The hotel and bar looked really nice . Am planning a holiday in Whitby Oct 2025 so it was nice to have a look .

[@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.

[@paulrundle1694]

Just watching this video and noticed Simply Whitby sitting there at the 4:15 mark... We enjoyed the video...

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Yeah, somebody else mentioned him. I didn’t know about him until I checked his channel & his moustache gave it away.

[@jayoneill1533]

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

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

It's good to have a treat, but I slept quite well when in the starbus. Best to do a bit of both.

[@garymason8978]

I love Whitby and Scarborough..been to both a few times..stayed at the Grand once when we went on a coach holiday with Alfa Travel a few years ago..never stayed in Whitby, just visited on day trips..like yourself Stephen I always look for the nearest Wetherspoons and I've been in The Angel a number of times, can't beat them..we also had some fantastic fish and chips in a cafe overlooking the harbour..the portions were huge with a round of bread and butter and a pot of tea..excellent!

[@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.

[@mickburns7487]

Been going there for 50 years my opinion is it’s the best uk place to go for everything

Yes Stephen, beautiful. Definitely be a pleasure to stay in the hotel and holiday in such a scenic view. Swerve the grand completely. Thankyou for showing us.😊❤

[@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

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.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@WilliamWoodchuck]

Britannia hotels is what's gone on there ...

[@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 🙂

[@lovingscarboroughvideos4388]

I'm staying there for the weekend, 9 to 12 Feb, for the Steampunk weekend. Great video

[@davidemmerson7072]

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.

[@therange4033]

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 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 😊

[@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!

[@appleoneill5135]

I love Whitby. There's a place called 'ye olde pie and mash shop' (or something like that) and it's the most amazingly atmospheric place I have ever eaten in. The history of it is fascinating and the food is gorgeous. Lovely staff as well, it's definitely worth a visit. That's a lovely room, looks very comfy, and a decent price. Scooby Doo, haha! x

[@sandraheaton4929]

We've been to whitby on 2 occasions & visited the pie & mash shop it was absoulutely lovely 💯% & we was full to the brim we love the place definitely recommend the staff are very friendly, if ever we visit whitby again we would definitely pay another visit.

[@JulieCawthra]

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

[@pauln0371]

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..👍👍

[@blackpool4ever]

Great video and insight Stephen. Didn't you say you were going to tell us about your breakfast the following morning, or did I mishear what you said? Keep them coming.

[@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool]

I didn't do the breakfast as it's a typical spoons. Maybe I'll fit it in if I visit another.

[@kevanhubbard9673]

I stayed there once.Whitby isn't so big and doesn't have so many hotels so prices are often high.I live in southern Co Durham so not too far from Whitby and mainly just go on day trips.

The ship in the harbour is a life size replica of Captain Cook’s Endeavor, it used to live on the river Tees in Stockton until around 2018 when it left for Whitby. Captain Cook was from Middlesbrough.

It's the Grand Turk ship ,sorry not the endeavour😊

O wow Steven you are amazing I am loving the hotel video please keep this up showing us all the different hotels it would of been nice to see what the breakfast was like I think it was worth the money i have never been to Whitby. It looks amazing. I would like to say thank you please keep these videos up ❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Will do Susan!

[@glenshea1967]

I have stayed in the angel. They charge extra for breakfast. Not in with the price.

[@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.

[@rbnhd1144]

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.

[@Shaunsfavourites]

Very reliable Weatherspoons Hotels. I've stayed at Match and Hull. I particularly like how late they serve food for a late arrival.

[@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!!

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.

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? One of the hotels I worked at years ago used to have softer ones on the bed and more firm ones in the wardrobe as a choice. Just a tip for you there! You timed it well between all the awful storms didnt you?😅 Looking forward to seeing what else you got upto in Whitby. It's a great place to visit.

[@grahammalia6830]

Enjoyed the video fella, Whitby is a favourite of mine. Its busy all year round to be fair, but jam packed at summer season. Did you visit the most famous chippy in Whitby? Its called the Magpie Cafe, mega snap. Getting parked in season is a nightmare, but they offer a reliable park and ride service. Last time i went i parked at a place called Grosmont and jumped on a steam train which runs to Whitby on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (featured in the TV series Heartbeat). Worth a trip and something a bit different.

[@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.

[@traceyabbott6184]

We love coming to Whitby , Scarborough, the harbour car park does get busy in the summer, we parked in the Co op car park opposite , had yum fish not chips and went on a boat ride , x

[@jamescoates5606]

Love Whitby. Just up the road from me. You’re right that car park does get extremely busy in the summer. Best off using the park and ride in the summer. The big sailing ship outside is a replica of the endeavor that captain cook sailed on. Hope you have a good time around here!
