The Whitby Hotel
The Whitby trades on Firmdale's old-school design flair and achieves a homey, characterful atmosphere with well-decorated rooms and a convivial bar, yet inconsistent service (rude servers, slow restaurant staff, missed breakfast orders) and premium pricing undermine the warmth, leaving it stylish rather than truly intimate.
