Fodor's Expert Review White Horse and Griffin

87 Church St., Whitby, North Yorkshire, YO22 4BH, England

A 450-year-old former coaching inn at the base of the church steps, this hotel and restaurant once patronized by Charles Dickens is full of historic character, with open fireplaces, wood paneling, and exposed beams. The bedrooms, some with original fireplaces, offer a combination of traditional charm and modern, uncluttered style. The cozy bistro downstairs serves a Modern British menu.
