The Windmill Inn - Whitby - A family-run pub with ensuite rooms, shepherd huts, and local dining in Stainsacre

The Windmill Inn - Whitby features three double ensuite rooms within the main building and four handcrafted shepherd huts with shared shower facilities in the grounds. Guests can enjoy a full Yorkshire breakfast inside the inn or select from the bar's menu, which serves locally sourced dishes for lunch and dinner. The property includes a beer garden with a children's play area, a pool table, and dartboards, while Whitby's attractions, such as Whitby Harbour and the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, are within 4 km. The Windmill is dog-friendly, allowing leashed pets in the bar and garden areas.

Pros

The onsite bar serves local ales, wines, and spirits alongside home-cooked meals.

Dog-friendly policy permits pets in designated areas.

Family-friendly amenities include a play area and sofa beds for children in the shepherd huts.

Cons

Shared shower facilities for shepherd hut guests.

Limited dining hours, with no evening food service on Sundays.

“The Windmill Inn, despite initial impressions, offers a surprisingly charming and comfortable experience. Its location outside Whitby proves ideal for exploring nearby attractions, while the on-site pub serves up hearty meals and local brews. I think their shepherd huts provide a cozy glamping alternative, rounded out with a fantastic breakfast.”
