Broomfield House is a family run guesthouse in the centre of the historic port of Whitby. Our experienced staff are on hand to make your stay in Whitby as enjoyable and relaxing as possible. We are situated on one of Whitby's most important streets with views of Pannett Park, museum and the Georgian street houses that line the road into the town centre. We have tried to source room products & breakfast ingredients as locally as possible. These companies include Bothams Bakers, Halders and Landers Butchers, local produce supplies sourced from William Wilsons and Yorkshire Dairies. We make our own jams and marmalade, again trying to source ingredients locally. A local farm supplies us with award-winning honey.

Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in the Borough of Scarborough and English county of North Yorkshire. Before local government reorganisations in the late 1960s, it was part of the North Riding of Yorkshire. Situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk, Whitby has an established maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Cædmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived. The fishing port developed during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets,[2][3] and was (along with the nearby fishing village of Staithes) where Captain Cook learned seamanship. Tourism started in Whitby during the Georgian period and developed further on the arrival of the railway in 1839. Its attraction as a tourist destination is enhanced by its proximity to the high ground of the North York Moors National Park, its Heritage Coastline and by its association with the horror novel Dracula. Jet and alum were mined locally. Whitby Jet, which was mined by the Romans and Victorians, became fashionable during the 19th century.
