Originally built in 1870, this beautiful Victorian terrace house is ideally located in the heart of Whitby, with stunning views across the historic Pannet Park. Just a short walk away from the town center, harbor, beach and abbey, the 4-star Florence Guest House provides the ideal base for your stay in Whitby. It offers 5 comfortable, tastefully decorated bedrooms and a wonderful, locally-sourced breakfast to start each day. Set slightly away from the town center, you are assured of a peaceful night’s sleep.

Our property is part of a white brick Victorian terrace built in 1870 by local business men. We are situated in Bagdale one of the most historic parts of beautiful Whitby town across from Pannet Park & with a chalybeate Spa Well in our back yard. We offer secure parking for our guests just up the road, but currently only have 4 spaces for 5 rooms, therefore parking is reserved on a first come first served basis. A space MUST be requested at the time of booking. If we have no availability, we will endeavour to find you street parking for your arrival.
We moved to The Florence in October 2023, new to the hospitality business we soon found we enjoyed every minute, we have now found our niche in life. We love sharing our wonderful home with our guests.
