Ideal for couples looking for charm

We had a lovely little courtyard to enjoy our drinks and a chance to mingle with other guests, it felt cozy. The room was really clean and the shower? Powerful and refreshing, just what you need after a long day.

It wasn't exactly cheap, but for the experience, it was reasonable.

would love to go back

The superior double room had a comfy bed, flat-screen TV, tea/coffee maker, and a private bathroom with shampoo and towels. The inner courtyard view was lovely, and the garden offered outdoor furniture to relax. Loved the cozy atmosphere and the attention to detail with free toiletries and complimentary drinks. Perfect for unwinding.

Had a great time with friends exploring the bustling harbour, grabbing fish and chips at The Magpie Cafe. The charming secret courtyard was perfect for relaxing. Plus, the attention to detail in our room was awesome and everything we needed was there. A lovely base for our adventures.

The bed was a little small for couples, which might not suit everyone.

Charming, Charming, Charming

perfectly central for exploring whitby's best sights and sounds

I loved how clean and well-maintained the room was. It was just a few steps to the stunning Captain Cook Statue and other iconic landmarks. truly a gem for anyone wanting to walk and unwind. As a single traveler, I also appreciated the comfortable bed after a long day exploring the vibrant town and its charming cafes, but I did find that I could hear some noise from the guests above me.

The vintage decor at Shepherd'S Purse was charming, with delightful fairy lights and plants adorning the scenic courtyard, making it a lovely retreat. The accessibility features made my stay comfortable and stress-free, allowing us to relish every moment.

More seating options in communal areas.

Noise can be a major issue. sound insulation isn't great, so expect to hear conversations or movement from nearby rooms. The room felt tight, suitable for a short stay but not ideal if you're packing heavy. While the courtyard is lovely, the frequent disturbances from nearby outdoor areas could disrupt your peace at times—all part of the quirky experience but something to consider. the bathroom is compact, which can feel restrictive for some.

i recently stayed for 3 nights in whitby and loved the cozy little room. shepherd's purse exceeded my expectations with its charming courtyard and super comfy bed. the location is perfect, right in the heart of everything, making it easy to explore the area.

shower didn't have consistent temperature

A lovely stay in a beautifully decorated room, though the thin walls made for some disrupted sleep and little privacy in the courtyard. Needed more coffee and milk, but staff were friendly. it was a charming experience with character and a great location.

a romantic hideaway with heavenly comfort and flowers delivered for special occasions

Charming courtyard, extremely friendly staff.

Charming and cozy stay

We had such a nice time! The room was super cute and clean, with this amazing comfy bed that I wish I could take home. The courtyard was really chill with cool fairy lights and plants. Only thing was, a bit tight on space for all our stuff, but not a huge deal for just a couple nights.

Had a fantastic time with friends exploring the local harbour and enjoying delicious fish and chips at The Magpie Cafe. The location was perfect for wandering around, and we loved the charming atmosphere. Plus, the cozy room had everything we needed for our stay, making it a real gem for a group getaway.

The only downside was the noise from other guests. We could hear footsteps above us and conversations next door, which made it tough to get proper rest at times.

My recent stay at Shepherd'S Purse was truly enjoyable. The room was well-appointed with a comfortable bed, a quaint ambiance, and a beautifully designed courtyard ideal for relaxation. The staff provided attentive service, ensuring all my business needs were promptly met. The location was perfect, situated within walking distance of essential amenities, making my trip both efficient and pleasant.

Wi-Fi connection was inconsistent at times.
