Had a fantastic stay at the Windmill Inn. All staff were extremely friendly and attentive. Shepards’ huts were clean and cozy. Breakfast was fantastic on both days and location great for both Robin Hoods’ Bay and Whitby. Would definitely stay again and recommend!

Very friendly staff as they made us feel welcomed straight away. Great food but must book as it gets busy due to the small size of the pub. Loved the bath tub in the bedroom, very victorian.

Was a nice place, the inside was much nicer than the outside, the breakfast was great but the pub is noisy. They do close at 11 and things quiet down quickly after that. To be expected at an inn like this but was slightly annoying after a long day walking.
