Had a great one night stay in the twin room. Room was beautifully decorated, clean, warm and cosy. Lovely view over the harbour and great bathroom with walk in shower. Breakfast was excellent too. Can't wait to stay again. Thanks to the lovely staff who made our stay so enjoyable.
Recommended to have our dinner here. Lovely pub and stunning view if you have a window seat. Great service. Food we both had fish and chips, (very nice indeed) apart from the coldish mushy peas that we had. Also £2 for bread and butter, I was expecting bread and butter for a chip sandwich, but as u can see x1 chip only on 1 slice. So that x1 slice of bread and butter cost me £1. Sorry but never again. £4 for x2 slices of bread🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
1st time to Whitby, couple of night stay at the Duke of York. Staff really friendly and helpful, food really nice. Our room was absolutely spot on with a nice view across the harbour with a great breakfast too. Location is at the bottom of the steps to the Abbey, you have to park in the town and walk which took us around 10-15 mins with our bags which could be the only downside. Would recommend highly though if you are visiting Whitby and want to be right in it.
Stayed here for 1 night. Room was spotlessy clean and the view was beautiful. Spent a few hours in the pub Saturday night to listen to the live music. Was a great atmosphere im there. Had breakfast the Sunday morning was lovely and hot...2 bacon, 2 sausage, 2 hash browns, 2 eggs, mushroom and a tomato. There was a selection of cereals, yoghurt too. Juices to choose from and toast. We were told there could be some noise in the rooms from the pub downstairs but this didnt apply to us as we were in the pub ourselves. Would definitely stay here again
We stayed here for one night and had a wonderful experience. The room was spotless, with a beautiful view and a very comfortable bed. We also enjoyed a delicious meal in the bar – the food was of a high standard and full of flavour. The staff were professional, attentive, and friendly, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We’ll definitely be returning in the future.
