    Is there anything about Whitby not to like? Never.

    We stayed in the garden. I loved the simplicity of it, quite quirky in a getting back to basics kind of way. When inside and the weather a little wild out, it felt really cosy and being with the family close together we had a good laugh. The breakfast was really really good with enough choice without being overwhelmed. We will definitely be back and I have told a few people about how good it was. If you want value for money and somewhere to call base for a few days this is ideal

    A few improvements might be: More hooks in the huts, toilet and shower room. Shower gel in the shower room, along with cloths to mop up. A small bedside table in the shepherds’ huts on which to put your phone, along with a bedside light. Some general refurb of outside paintwork.

    The shepherd huts were quite cosy and provided good privacy. The bed was comfortable. Tea and coffee facilities were fine and the huge bottle of water in rooms much appreciated. The pub food was really good, probably as good as pub food gets. The beer was fabulous. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good flexibility in providing a packed breakfast,

    If I was to complain about anything maybe a larger duvet for the bed it was just a bit small to cover 2 people comfortably.

    Good vibe.. friendly and welcoming. Lovely food!

    We had one slight issue and it in no way impacted our weekend, we had an amazing stay and would 100% stay again. But our boys stayed on the sofa-bed in the chalet and kept complaining it was too uncomfortable - naturally we told them they'd be fine, we used to sleep on sofa beds all the time when we were kids, but they were up at 1:30am unable to sleep. So I swapped them and turns out they were right. The mattress wasn't thick enough and you could feel the frame through it. This could be easily rectified and would not prevent us from staying here again.

    We loved our stay at the windmill. The staff were amazing, very friendly and made you feel right at home. The chalets were cosy and clean and everything you could need for a nice night away. The communal toilets and showers, which might put some people off, were spot on, well kept and clean as a whistle. The people that run this establishment deserve a lot of credit.

    The radiators in the room don't give off huge amount of heat, making it quite cold overnight in the chalets.

    We’d have done better with an ensuite with a shower as opposed to a bathtub. Bathtub looked cool, but we like our showers. Wifi was virtually nonexistent in our room so we accessed from corridor or dining room.

    Easy parking. Clean comfortable room. Breakfast was good and varied. Staff very helpful. Very quiet considering you’re attached to a pub.

    Tardy communication with the hotel through the Booking.com message facility. May be difficult to park in the small car park but there is street parking immediately opposite on a very quiet road, which is where we parked and is not really an inconvenience. The room was small but okay for a stopover. The bar lacked atmosphere.

    Clean room with comfy bed. Good breakfast and enjoyed the tasty dinner, served at lighting sspeed. Spacious bathroom (hand-held shower only). A 5 minute drive from Whitby. Worth noting that one of the three rooms has a bath in the bedroom, so an option depending on your preferences.

    my only negative thing to say about our stay was that the bed is quite short and the mattress is very firm in the middle but too soft on the outsides. I am only 5'4 and my feet were poking out the bed when we were sleeping. It didn't ruin our stay, but made it hard to get a good night's sleep

    The room was lovely, very well decorated and very clean. The bathroom was gorgeous and the bathtub was quite big! Our room had a little desk with a drinks tray and a vanity, we also had a big wardrobe with hangers inside :) The staff were all very lovely and polite, the pub/restaurant was nice to sit in on an evening too. We played cards by the fireplace and it was super cosy
