La Rosa Hotel

Weird, but wonderful. Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland, once stayed in this house while holidaying in Whitby. Entering today is like stepping through the looking glass into a world of love-it-or-hate-it Victorian bric-a-brac and kitsch, peppered with vintage film props. Eight quirky and atmospheric bedrooms, great sea views, no TVs, an in-house bar and breakfast served in a basket in your room.
