About Seaside Haven

A tranquil retreat where Yorkshire hospitality meets coastal serenity

Our Story

Seaside Haven began as a dream shared by Margaret and Thomas Whitby, a couple who fell in love with this stretch of the Yorkshire coast during their honeymoon in 1985. After years of visiting every summer, they decided to make this magical place their permanent home.

In 2010, they lovingly restored this Victorian cottage, preserving its original character while adding modern comforts. What started as a family retreat soon became a haven for friends, and eventually, we opened our doors to welcome guests from around the world.

Today, our guest house continues the tradition of warm Yorkshire hospitality, offering a peaceful sanctuary where the rhythm of the waves and the beauty of the countryside create the perfect backdrop for rest and renewal.

Our Philosophy

We believe that true relaxation comes from simplicity and connection – with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself. Our guest house is designed to slow down time and create space for the moments that matter.

Our Promise

  • Peaceful, uninterrupted rest in comfortable surroundings
  • Genuine Yorkshire hospitality and local knowledge
  • Respect for the natural beauty that surrounds us
  • A home away from home experience
