“Stepping into the White Horse & Griffin feels like entering a storybook, especially given its enviable position near Whitby Abbey and the beach. This historic building, dating back to 1681, clearly embraces its character, from creaky floors to uniquely styled rooms. For travellers seeking a pet-friendly stay with a culinary bent and a relaxed atmosphere, this spot strikes me as rather appealing.”
