    If I was to say anything it was a little noisy on a morning but in all fairness there's not much they could do about that and the sink was very small.

    The staff were great, the food was great. We felt cosy and welcome. We arrived late on New Years eve and the place was fully booked for food, yet they still offered to feed us at the 1st possible chance. Also a nice bar to sit in, friendly atmosphere, we were even offered Yorkshire puddings and gravy free of charge on Sunday afternoon. I lovely roll top bath overlooking the fields was great and water was piping hot.

    We stayed in the huts, shared shower room and toilet

    Fabulous food, lovely, attentive staff, Beautiful location, pub was welcoming, but the hut we stayed in was very basic, I would recommend a stay in the hotel.

    The bed was comfortable to lay on while watching TV but we both felt our backs aching the following mornings after sleep.

    The food was lovely, the staff very friendly. Our room was clean and a good size with a fabulous bath tub. The premises were clean and tidy.

    The bedding was attractive and clean but the quilt seemed a little thin and small.

    The setting with lovely views across the moor and Whitby. The room although quite small was well appointed and the bathroom was beautifully modern. Everything was clean and well cared for. the staff were friendly and helpful. Due to bad weather we decided to upgrade to a room inside the inn rather than the chalet we had booked. This was quickly sorted with a short phone call on the day.

    The bark chipping’s on the floor outside carry into the room, making it messy! also the sofa bed could do with a mattress topper.

    The property was a good location if you would like a nice walk to & from Whitby.

    We thought the room could have been more up to date , but it didn’t spoil our stay.

    The breakfast was top class, there were some nice walks to Whitby and Robin Hoods bay, very scenic on the old railway line.

    We felt the shared facilities could have been bigger. They were clean but one shower and one toilet for the 4 huts we felt wasn't enough. We also didn't realise until after booking that we'd booked the Hut so maybe make this clearer at booking stage.

    Staff were very friendly and welcoming, the Shepherds Huts were clean and warm, but we did travel in August. Breakfast was delicious.

    It is a pub, which some people might find noisy especially at closing time with people leaving, cars starting up and glass bins being emptied. we weren’t too bothered as we were only there a few nights. Having somewhere to get a drink at the end of a day out out weighed the inconvenience of some noise.

    The location was great for our trip to Whitby; we didn’t want to stay right in town and The Windmill, being right on the Cinder Track, gave us a perfect walk into town. Don’t be fooled when you arrive, the initial appearance does not do this place justice. Outside looks like a row of terraced houses joined through but inside is a lovely open pub/restaurant with a fireplace I imagine is lovely in the winter. We were warmly welcomed by Mich (Michelle) who sat and drew us a map of town and gave us some recommendations of places to eat and visit in town.

    Our room didn't have a shower, (room 1) just a bath in the room with a divider to spare your blushes. Facilities were not pinpointed to say this in the booking. Saying this, showers are a standard facility in a B&B or hotel. Is this my error or should this have been pointed out when booking? The bed was small and sloped off, and the curtains were cheap paper thin and they need to invest in heavy duty curtains. But these are minor issues and certainly didn't hamper our thoughts on this Inn.

    The food was fantastic. Portions a good size, and great value for money. Free parking. Gave us room service when this wasn't a facility they offered. The staff were pleasant and accommodated us at last minute. The Windmill Inn is a quaint essentially English traditional Inn, and I'd highly recommend staying here 🥰

    The bed was a little uncomfortable and the room could’ve done with a little dressing up.

    All in all we had a nice stay, the pub was nice the food was great and the accommodation was clean and tidy.
