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.

“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.”
