I cannot remember who was asking for accomodation in Whitby during the August Folk Week and could not find any. Well... There is some! I have just returned from a very pleasant weekend in the Kimberley House Hotel (www.kimberleyhousehotel.co.uk). 2 minutes from the Spa pavilion. 8 rooms - 7 on-suite. Only 1 let for the folk week up to now. The owners, Julie and Steve Walton, are very friendly and would love to hear from you. But DO IT NOW - before it is too late. Ring them on (+44 outside UK, 0 inside)1947 604125. 44 pounds per room based on 2 sharing (ie 22 UKP each) per night for B&B. Comfy rooms, great breakfasts (Full English, Veggie, Light or Whitby Kippers). What more could a Gnome ask for? - should suit anyone!

Good Luck and happy Whitbying!
