Whitby Self-catering and Apartments
Over the past couple of decades there has been a change in the tourism patterns. Formerly the town was very quiet over the months from October through till Easter time. Gradually there has been a steady increase, so much so, that the town is increasingly busy throughout the year. A shift in holiday choices has meant that Whitby is popular for a weekend break, a few days away and the annual summer holiday. This trend has led to the establishment of many new Whitby hotels, Whitby cottages and Whitby B & Bs, to cope with the extra holiday trade alongside the well established accommodation providers.
Many of the recognised different types of accommodation are registered with the English Tourist Board and have grading depending on the facilities offered. When considering which type of holiday and which type of accommodation is on offer, the visitor can be assured of a certain quality and standard when using these establishments.
Facilities too have changed over the years. Nowadays, many discerning visitors require en-suite accommodation or at least a shared bathroom with one other room. Long gone are the days when one bathroom served about four or five rooms! Holiday cottages and holiday apartments too are now well furnished and equipped to high standards, making Whitby fully competitive with the rest of the country.
There are many ways for the visitor to choose their accommodation, from the local tourist guide or newspaper advertising to the ever increasing use of the internet. Some of the larger Whitby hotels obviously offer more facilities but this is reflected in the tariff. The Whitby B & Bs and Whitby Guesthouses are more moderately priced. For a large family wishing to holiday together, then Whitby cottages and Whitby holiday apartments can be more economical by way of self-catering.
Lots of choices here then. Will have a good look round next time I am up that way.
