About Us and WHITBY
Alison and I first came here to Whitby some fifteen  years ago. We fell in love with the place at  first sight and the years between have only tended to deepen and strengthen that first love and if you would like to visit our wonderful town I am sure you will come to love it too.

We are proud of the fact that Captain James Cook, the great navigator and explorer learned his sailing skills here at Whitby.
