About

The Duke of Wellington is an ivy-clad traditional eighteenth century inn located in Danby, near Whitby. The hotel is an ideal base for exploring the Moors, Whitby and the coast. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. Built in 1732, the Inn was used as a recruiting post during the Napoleonic Wars. An iron plaque of the Duke of Wellington was recently uncovered on the outside of the building and has been mounted on the fireplace in the bar. Restoration and refurbishment has improved the facilities while maintaining the character and charm of this traditional country inn.

    The room was tastefully decorated and exceptionally clean and well kept. We greatly appreciated the added extras in the room (tea/coffee and toiletries. The breakfast was wonderful and obviously made with high quality and local produce. Very welcoming atmosphere and host.

    Lovely pub, nice and friendly staff and good food

    Nothing really but I would have liked a more comfortable chair to sit in but apart from that a really pleasant stay.

    Breakfast was fantastic. The room was lovely and well equipped. We stayed for a Wedding in Danby Castle which is a ~5 minute drive away.

    10ChrisPosted on: 4-27-2025

    Friendly and helpful staff, they helped with finding a local taxi firm and borrowing an iron. All meals were great, the full English breakfast especially was perfect. Room was comfortable and clean. Great location in the village.

    We stayed one night after attending our friends' wedding at a nearby venue. The staff were very helpful with checking in arrangements so we could get into our room late after the wedding. The room was large, very clean and well equipped as was the ensuite bathroom. It's a small, very rural village, so there's ample free on-street parking close to the inn. The breakfast was good, with reasonable choice, including a substantial cooked traditional English breakfast and included in the room rate.

    I'd say the bed was a bit short for me, although to be fair I'm above average height at 1.86m. I still slept OK!

    I had such a brilliant stay here. I was travelling for work and was therefore by myself. Upon entering, I was made to feel very welcome. I was shown to my room which was lovely - very comfortable and well equipped. After getting settled, I decided to pop down to the bar for a drink, only to be met by lots of lovely local musicians, who had just started to gather to play, sing and drink together. They were all very friendly and extremely welcoming and I had a really lovely hour or so sat listening to them perform.I had a great night sleep and a wonderful cooked breakfast in the morning. Thank you for making me feel so welcome!

    It’s a friendly place used by locals and has a nice atmosphere. The location is great. Whilst the food isn’t exciting, it is very well done and of good quality.

    Like so many such places these days, with profit margins squeezed, it’s a bit “shaggy” round the edges. Clean and tidy, but things like the shower heads just don’t fit the brackets which can make having a shower a bit of a challenge. Water is good and hot though and the pressure is good.

    Stayed here to attend a wedding at Danby Castle Barns. Great location and good proximity to venue - staff were lovely, really helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was delicious too!

    10LauriePosted on: 4-11-2025

    Such charm and beauty inside and out! Cozy dining and lodging!

    The only thing was the cold toilet seat, but they did have a heater in the bathroom that warmed the room up nicely!

    We enjoyed our stay at the Duke of Wellington.We were given a friendly welcome from all staff and we liked the country pub ambience.Our breakfast was excellent and the restaurant menu was very good.I liked having the bath in our en-suite.We plan to return in summer, to enjoy the countryside.

    The rural village location suited us, as we were going to a local wedding. However, the narrow roads meant we should have allowed for a bit longer travelling time. The village (Danby) is at least 12 miles from Whitby.

    Good old pub accommodation, food and atmosphere but the room was a bit cold. The table mats had hunting scenes - this is a cruel 'sport' now outlawed, not something to be celebrated.

    Property is dated and the hotel manger awful. Unwelcoming unprofessional behaviour and down right rude. Felt it was an inconvenience us staying.

    Everything from entering its dated and cold approach to the hotels rude and unhelpful staff
