Winter is just about over and with it goes the lengthy drawn out evenings and the darker early mornings. Comfortable though it may be to stay indoors in front of the fire or possibly lie in bed for the extra few minutes of a morning, but look out as spring is just around the corner.

With early spring comes the expectation of a new beginning. A new start to the coming warmer weather and the lighter nights. Happily, thoughts are turning to the possibility of a break away be it for a weekend a few days or even a full weeks holiday.

Looking through the holiday brochures to find an ideal location is one of life’s little treats.Scanning through the pages to find that ideal location or even looking at the advertisements on the tv, contributes to the excitement. In this modern day and age there is the possibility that all the choices that may be there can be found on the internet where each holiday destination is open to be viewed online with explanations of local attractions and amenities situated there. Often it may be possible to view holiday accommodation available and in some instances it may be possible to search for vacancies and even to reserve online.

A popular tourist destination which regularly appears on telly and in the National Press is the charming small fishing town of Whitby. This ancient maritime port in the County of North Yorkshire is an ideal place to spend a few days of even weeks. There are main roads leading into the town from three ways over the moors. Travelling from the south via Scarborough or from the north via Guisborough on the A171 or from York via the A169 Pickering Moor Road. Rail travel can be accessed from the Esk Valley Whitby to Middlesbrough line and also the North Yorkshire Moors Railway which departs from Pickering. Coach travel and public service buses are an alternative way to arrive, timetables are easily accessible or can be downloaded.

Cafes and restaurants are in abundance for the visitor after a prolonged journey and are an perfect way to take refreshment before searching for holiday accommodation. Well organised visitors will, no doubt, have pre-booked their particular choice of accommodation in advance. For many though, there is the question of ‘where to stay’?

This is where the Whitby B&B accommodation providers hold the winning hand. Located all around the town but mainly on the West Cliff, there are a plethora of differing types of bed and breakfast establishments to suit even the most discerning visitor. Each independently owned and unique, there is a incredible choice available.

One or two may be recognisable from the brochures or from the internet, but many more will be waiting to be discovered. Smaller than the hotels and larger guest houses, the B&B’s are more often than not, a family home, run under the personal supervision of the homeowner. Guests are, therefore, assured of a warm welcome. Facilities may not be readily available as in the bigger hotels and guest houses, ie televisions and full breakfast menu choice (possibly en-suite facilities) but this is more than compensated by the tariff and personal attention.

Without worrying about costly overheads of the larger establishments, the bed and breakfast owner can generally charge a much more modest amount for accommodation. But, as in all aspects of life, there will be some that are more luxurious than others but that is the half the pleasure of discovering ones own particular favourite. An other option for those on a budget, but with a love of the open air may well be to choose Whitby Campsites.
