All of the bathrooms feature granite or marble countertops, double sinks, and a walk-in shower. The suites all have a separate bath.

Guests can dine at The Whitby Bar & Restaurant. It’s open all day, every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It also serves a wonderful, traditional Afternoon Tea throughout the day.
