Stayed here for one night after a wedding in the Danby Castle Wedding Venue nearby. Such a lovely surprise... The room was extremely cosy and well decorated- Rustic yet not at all outdated. A lovely warm welcome on arrival, especially from the lady behind the bar who also showed me my room. I went down for a quick drink on my own before bed and even the regulars made me feel at home. The gentleman who looked after me at breakfast was a superstar too. I left feeling extremely guilty, given that feeling a little bit worse for wear, I wasn't actually able to eat my breakfast but everything looked great. A huge amount of effort is put in and he worked non stop to make sure everyone had everything they needed. All in all a fantastic stay.

I would have been happy to have stayed a little longer!

A very warm welcome by the owner and the locals in the pub. A very comfortable room in a quiet picturesque village The North Yorkshire landscape 😍😍 A short drive to the coast (Staithes, Robin Hoods bay, Whitby) A hearty delicious breakfast to help to start the day Highly recommend this establishment

Nothing to declare

Beautiful place in Beautiful surroundings..I will definitely stay here again in the near future . The staff were so accommodating & polite . Made me feel so comfortable.. It's a short trian journey to Whitby for £7.20 return, hence why I booked The Wellington because prices for accommodation in Whitby are ridiculously high at the peak of season , whereas the Wellington offered much nicer accommodation than anywhere I've ever stayed in Whitby & the breakfast & evening meals were outstanding. I've only been home for 4 hours & want to get in my car & drive back Thankyou for such a wonderful stay x

The quiet location. Great for an escape and views of the North Yorkshire Moors. Even a short walk to the train station that will get you on a train to Whitby. Breakfast was wonderful. You have to order the night before.

There is no phone signal. It's not good for emergencies. It's not their fault, but I was left on my own in the day for space whilst my husband was walking. Didn't quite hear the instructions for the way out, so, as the pub is closed, I found no staff and no way out and no phone signal.. Eventually, I slipped out of the bar cellar door. It's just a warning for all guests to know the safe way out. They do give you a key for a door on the 1st floor. I just didn't listen to the instructions given to my husband. We would definitely go back again.

Absolutely everything. From the minute we walked in, we knew our stay would be awesome. Greeted by the fabulous Sonja, she sorted our meals, our room and the rest of our night! Then the food. I know we thanked the chef on the night, but we wanted to single him out as cooking one of the very best meals we have had in years. Thankyou for your precision, your presentation and your very obvious care and love for food. We noticed . The room. The bed was wonderful - but best of all - you make it with a top sheet! It makes all the difference! You are one of the very few places we have ever found that makes the bed properly! It made for such a great night sleep - almost like home. The bathroom was spotless and we very honestly couldn't ask for anything else to be included. The bar. The locals and their dogs made for the perfect evening. Many laughs and many new friends. Sonja, you made that all happen - thankyou. We travel a lot between Australia and the UK. We have stayed in hundreds of places more expensive than the Duke. I can't say that we have enjoyed any of them any more than this one. When you have it, you just have it. Thankyou ☺️ Queenie and Tim Scott

That we had to leave and come home.

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!

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff (especially Charlie) were really kind and attentive, offering local knowledge. The rooms were a lovely size, really clean and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast choice was fab and the quality of the ingredients was great. We really enjoyed our stay.

Our room faced the road junction and occasionally it was loud, but that’s just to put in to perspective its location - it’s good to know beforehand. It’s summer, so our window was open and we probably heard it more than other times of the year.

Location in Danby village

Requested gluten free breakfast for my wife who is a coeliac, GF bread/toast was available as requested however when breakfast plate arrived it included sausage and black pudding neither of which were gluten free and as they were on plate they had contaminated the rest of the food. Mentioned to proprietor who did not did not make any attempt to replace the breakfast. Guy on next table had ordered boiled eggs so asked me if I wanted to swap my breakfast for his boiled egg.

This Inn has bags of character - properly pubby downstairs but simple, elegant bedroom with excellent facilities and some nice touches of style Staff were very attentive and the food (we had breakfast twice and a dinner) was excellent value and high quality. Very good location for walking, with a train station.

There is no car park as such, but there is off road parking across the road. The inn is on the road which is a bit busier than you might think. These are v. minor gripes
