Olde Beehive Inne, Whitby

The most unfriendly unwelcoming and uncomfortable place i have EVER stayed. The room was freezing,no hot water, had to hunt for tea tray.After waiting six hours still freezing.The whole pub is no bigger than a shoe box and if you don,t mind the bar/public toilet right outside your door or the screaming of the grandchild(who lives there along with its teenage mother)everything can be heard from the bar or if in bar heard from room(actually heard hubby using loo in our room whilst I was downstairs in the bar trying to keep warm by open fire which puffs out a face full of smoke intermittently).If looks can kill then don,t look at mandy the landlady and if its privacy you want, forget it Keith the landlord knows everything about everything

The lamb and Esk salmon were except
