Our Heritage
345 Years
Founded in 1681, the White Horse & Griffin served as the first coaching inn from Whitby to York and London, hosting travellers for nearly three and a half centuries.
Historic Guests
Captain James Cook and William Scoresby hired their North Pole expedition crews here. Charles Dickens visited this Grade II Listed building, now lovingly restored.
Warm Welcome
Restaurant with rooms, offering modern British cuisine with fresh local ingredients. A characterful escape in Whitby's cobbled old town, at the foot of the famous 199 Abbey Steps.
