Fox Inn

Nice and tidy room. There are supermarkets nearby. Very convenient.

The landlady was brilliant. Made herself available, was efficient, friendly and very helpful. The room itself wasn’t that clean. We had an issue with the shower ( dealt with promptly by the landlady). We would have liked a bedside table and lamps.

Stay was for 2 nights in a double room in September and purchased with a Buy-a-Gift voucher for £130. No parking available but there is a public (pay and display) car park 150 metres away When we shown to our room we were told that there wasn't a toilet in the room but there was a shared one at the end of the corridor. We had not previously been informed of this. There was no food available for an evening meal despite it being only 5pm. No breakfast was available on either of the two mornings. No information was provided in the room regarding wi-fi or indeed anything else. There were no bedside lights and no wardrobe - just two hangers on a clothes rack. The water in the shower was dangerously hot because the taps were so difficult to turn and control. There were soap dribbles down the outer wall of the shower and the wall toothbrush holder was stained with old toothpaste and covered in dust. The old wooden sash window was wedged open with a wooden block, not sure why, because it was totally stuck anyway - it couldn't be moved either up or down. The totally frosted window obscured our fine view of the fire escape and back yard. Admittedly the days had been warm, but the room was unbearably hot at night because no air could get in. There was a huge cellar cooler outside the window which emitted a noise that sounded like a giant hairdryer that never turned off. Had we been cool enough to get to sleep, this noise would have kept us awake anyway. The upholstered chair in the room was a very worn and dirty affair that that had definitely seen better decades. We didn't sit on it to test its comfort. The room wasn't serviced before the second , (and thankfully last), evening and we had to go in search of a member of staff to give us a tea bag. On the positive side, the linen was clean and the bed comfortable..... Don't think we'll be coming back though!

Clean and comfortable. Just a but cold, but the weather had changed. Good value

I am not a snob but the lack of bedside tables and bedside lights are a must. The tv is positioned at an angle that hurts your neck to watch from bed. Strange noise after flushing the loo that went on at 5 minute intervals for about an hour afterwards was bizarre?! Apart from that, the bed was comfy, noise from the street and bar is to be expected so this wasn’t a problem for us but I would suspect that it would be for some. No parking but it doesn’t advertise that it has any? We stayed in Early September so we didn’t need any heating. We probably would stay here again as we almost had everything we needed. Next time I would ensure we had bedside lights.

Nice, budget hotel. If you can't afford staying in Whitby, this is the best option. Clean comfortable rooms with excellent bedding.

poor check-in service, they were prioritising pub customers over check-in. Music from pub very loud until 23:30

The fox in was a lovely night stay. Very friendly staff,

Our twin room was small but at £73 for one night, it was still value for money. The room was clean and warm and the beds were comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. We ate in the pub downstairs and the meals were tasty and not expensive. The hotel does not have its own car park but we were lucky and found a space on the street outside.
