Situated in the charming village of Robin Hood's Bay, just a two-minute walk from the beach and 5.4 miles from Whitby, this Victorian redbrick hotel dates back to the 1890s. It blends traditional architecture with a relaxed atmosphere, offering laid-back rooms that provide views of the church and countryside. Guests typically check in from 1:00 PM and depart by 10:30 AM.
The Grosvenor Hotel features an onsite pub and restaurant, serving hearty meals and a variety of real ales. Breakfast is included and frequently praised for its quality, including freshly cooked items like bacon and sausage. While the hotel does not offer air conditioning, parking, a pool, or fitness facilities, it provides free Wi-Fi, a smoke-free environment, and kid-friendly accommodations. However, some guests have noted occasional noise from the pub and children, which may affect those seeking a quiet stay.
Its location makes it a practical base for exploring nearby attractions such as Whitby Abbey, the Yorkshire Coast, and Dalby Forest, all of which offer opportunities for hiking, sightseeing, and history. The hotel is accessible from several regional airports, including Newcastle International, Leeds Bradford, and Teesside International, all reachable within two hours by car.
Reviews highlight the friendly and helpful staff, good value food, and comfortable rooms, though parking can be challenging as it is located opposite the hotel and fills quickly.

We have loved staying at The Grosvenor. We had a fabulous room with a view of the church and countryside. The staff are fabulous; so helpful and friendly. Breakfast was fantastic. Dinner has lots of wonderful choices. And Robin Hood's Bay? Such a cute and quaint place to explore. Our winter visit was fabulous.
Stopped for Sunday lunch after walking along the Cinder trail from Hawsker. Lovely plate of roast pork with a good selection of veg, including cheesey leeks. All for a very reasonable price. The beer was good too.
Stayed twice. Loved every minute. Be back for sure. Food was excellent , staff Fantastic. Music night was brill. Well done all who are involved..
Yes very pleased. The rooms were beautifully furnished & clean. The only problem was the shower. It was just a dribble. Certainly not a shower. Breakfast was excellent. We also had a bite to eat on our first night & the steak pie was delicious & homemade. We did compliment them on the steak pie. Parking is a problem. It is in the car park opposite. Yes it does get very full & have to keep going round & round.
Fantastic traditional pub/hotel in Robin Hood Bay. A good selection of real ales. Something to please most people. Food in the evening is very well cooked, tasty and at a reasonable price. The included breakfast definitely is the best I have had in a long time. Excellent quality bacon and sausage, cereal, fruit juice, fresh fruit, toast, hot drinks. All cooked fresh to order. The staff are all welcoming. The hotel has some very good offers on if booked direct through their website, for winter, mid-week stays. Parking is free across the road till the end of march. Fantastic find for a winter mid-week break.
We went here for a family meal. 12 of us aged from 70 to 10. The food was absolutely excellent. I had chilli which was superb. I was going for steak pie, other family members had this and it was also superb. Clean plates all round. Will certainly call again.
Wow! Enjoyed the most amazing home made steak pie in the restaurant...served with proper chips, veg and lashings of gravy hits the spot after 15 miles of coastal walking! Wine at £16 a bottle was an added bonus...thank you team!
This Victorian redbrick hotel built in the 1890s is 2 minutes' walk from Robin Hood's Bay, and 5.4 miles from Whitby in the North York Moors National Park.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Whitby. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
