A great customer service from the confirmation of the booking to leaving. All staff are friendly and helpful, the room was clean and spacious. I think it was the little touches such as Zed coming round at breakfast time checking in with everyone that they are ok.

Nice guesthouse with fantastic views on the doorstep,close to the beach and attractions,would use again although probably better not for those who struggle with walking.
We enjoyrd every aspect of the property the room wss lovely overlooking the sea,and the food was excellant plus the owners cooked it how you liked it.
Would definitely return and recommend.
A reasonably priced guest house which is very convenient for the beach walk and the town centre. Very good choices at breakfast.
Parking is, maybe inevitably, a trial!
Excellent choice for a last minute visit to Whitby. Stunning views overlooking the sea and a perfect location for exploring everything Whitby has to offer. Super clean and modern room and lovely full English breakfast. Nothing at all to complain about. If you can mange the 199 steps you will be fine here 😁
Well looked after, the bedroom had a nice character, however the bathroom en suite has had some sort of a make over but not to the best standard.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Location of guest house was excellent but as for all such properties in this area car parking has to be paid for using discs or cards purchased from the property. The Riviera was OK but not as good as we were expecting based on the historic reviews.
Such a lovely place, would recommend it very highly. Room was lovely and clean with a spectacular sea view. Breakfast was gorgeous too! We got a parking permit for £2 from the owner, so parking was sorted for the whole of our stay. Will definitely be back. Whitby is an amazing place and here is duch a fantastic location.
Very handy for town, my room looked out to see.Friendly staff and excellent breakfast,good choice. Parking was ok,it's disk zone but you can buy permit from them,my four days cost £2 for full stay. Would definitely go again
Overall stay was amazing, expectations exceeded. Despite the many Guest Houses, Riviera far proclaims the rest! Highly recommend people consider staying here. Close range to the beach and harbour, your feet get plenty of exercise. 25,700 steps on our first day there.
Great location across from the beach with sea view. Near to the town. A very clean and comfortable stay. Owners were there if needed, but never intrusive. Staff friendly. We can recommend the Garden Room restaurant at Sneaton Castle and the Trenchers Fish restaurant in Whitby. Both served very good food.

Liked the friendliness with the owners and staff
Did not like the room.
I knew there would be stairs to climb, but I didn’t expect it would be eight flights to our room. A warning would have been appreciated. There was a strong smell emanating from the bathroom although the bathroom was clean we had to keep the extractor fan going 24 hours a day to confine the smell to the bathroom. The sheets were too small for the mattress and kept rucking up. It would have been appreciated if we had some help lugging our luggage up and down the stairs no one was available. I am sure that others must have complained about the smell in the bathroom and am surprised nothing has been done about it.
