Picturesque location
The Whitestonecliffe Inn is located at the foot of the North York Moors National Park in the village of Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe. Arguably one of the most beautiful in the county offering heather clad moorland, through to rustic coastlands, providing acres of exploration and the great stargazing opportunities. There are 208 adults within 20 minutes walking distance but excludes the tourist visitors to the area looking for a great drive-to-destination and those staying on site in the six holiday lodges. There are three main competitors offering good food, two of which with high standard letting rooms.

Untapped potential
A historic 17th Century Inn brought back to modern standards. Offering six self-contained holiday apartments for the weary visitor and yet leading the local market with a good-sized car park, fantastic alfresco terraces and transformed country inn - premium drinks and quality chef made food enjoyed by all, creating a great ambience. Inside, 89 covers (locals bar 20, bar dining 42, lounge dining 27 covers) with 54 external covers (20 front terrace 34 rear garden/terrace).
