The Wheeldale, 11 North Promenade, Whitby, YO21 3JX The Wheeldale is a very well-appointed guest house in an enviable promenade location in one of Britain s best loved seaside towns. Operated on a simple high quality bed and breakfast basis, The Wheeldale produces high profits year after year and provides a family size flat for owners. Whitby has so much to offer both guests and owners alike. An ancient fishing port with sandy beach, famous Abbey ruins and quaint streets, Whitby is a tremendously characterful resort with both literary and historic maritime connections. Bram Stoker s Dracula novel was partially set in Whitby, and Captain James Cook of HMS Endeavour fame spent part of his formative years in the town. Not only is Whitby tremendously appealing, but it also has the marvellous North York Moors National Park on the doorstep with its glorious scenery, spectacular walks and hugely popular steam railway.

The owners acquired The Wheeldale in 2003 and have continually reinvested.
