Lovely old building, but very modern bedrooms. Beautifully clean and fresh room; tastefully decorated. Pleasant beer garden.
Enjoyed a good meal in the restaurant in the evening, and breakfast was good too. Pleasant and helpful staff.

We stayed for a single night but were made very welcome. The room was spacious and very nice, with a clean and very functional en-suite. The food, dinner and breakfast, was very good, as was the Wensleydale Bitter

Fantastic place to stay, Sheila, Gerald and Jon were fantastic hosts and the location is so quiet and idyllic. Lovely, homely, good-sized room with a very large, comfy bed and a fantastic breakfast. A short walk to the station for a train into Whitby and good food and drinks just up the road at The Fox and Hounds Inn. Can't reccomend enough, we will be back.

I found this little pub gem on Booking.com as I needed a place to stay the night between Scarborough and Layburn in North Yorkshire. Ideally situated on the route between the two towns. Price was fab as was the whole experience. Bed and room were very comfy, very clean with a great pub varied menu. Staff really helpful and friendly. Will certainly visit again

NO NOISE AT NIGHT. RESIDENTS VERY FRIENDLY.
NO NOISE AT NIGHT. RESIDENTS VERY FRIENDLY. A WONDERFUL CAFE WITHIN 30 METRES , SERVING THE MOST DELICIOUS SANDWICHES AND PASTRIES . A MAINLINE RAIL STATION ON THE DOOR STEP. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON HOSTS A MUSIC NIGHT ON OCCASIONAL THURSDAYS . WITH MUSICIANS JAMMING A WHOLE RANGE OF MUSIC AND INSTRUMENTS , ALL VERY PROFESSIONAL AND ENTERTAINING DANBY IS SO EASY TO FIND ON THE MOOR ; IT'S WELL SIGNE POSTED ,CLOSE TO WHITBY . THE AVAILABLE PARK & RIDE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF WHITBY IS THE MOST SUITABLE ARRANGEMENT FOR VISITING THE TOWN. IT IS EQUALLY AS CHEAP AS THE WHITBY CAR PARKING CHARGES.

Main thing for me - it's a lovely cou try pub just 300 yards from the station - so you can let the train take the strain for a short break instead of haviong the hassle of a long motorway journey. PLUS the Eden valley running east towards Whitby is absolutely gorgeous and not as famous as it should be. If you can imagine a railway line running up Wensleydale you wouldn't be too far off - but the Yorkshire Dales are infinitely more famous.
The Inn seemed to be pretty much the social focus of the village. Just a short walk from the railway station. Very interesting old building, clean and comfortable room.
I arrived much earlier than the normal check in time but the host saw me outside and let me check in early, then imparted lots of useful information about the area. I walked to Danby Beacon following his clear directions.
Excellent and plentiful food and a great range of ales.
Everything you'd expect from an old country pub.
Beautiful house and well located for attending a wedding at Danby Castle. We had the whole top floor to ourselves and Charlotte was a great host. The room was beautifully presented and had a gorgeous bathroom and living space (all with a lovely view). It was spotlessly clean. We had everything we needed.and the bed was so comfy! There is a nice pub and a local shop just around the corner too. Plenty to do within a short drive and not far from Whitby.
We had a wonderful stay at Lilac Cottage over the Easter weekend while attending a wedding at Danby Castle, the area is absolutely beautiful. Nessa was really accommodating to us and the welcome treats on arrival were a lovely touch. The cottage is very well equipped, a real home from home with a log burner for those chillier evenings. We were extra lucky to see newborn lambs which were in the field next to the cottage garden. Highly recommend!
Location was idyllic for exploring the North Yorkshire Moors. The Duke of Wellington was as characteristic and decorated as you'd expect of coaching inn of the period. Rooms were clean and freshly furnished. The food was lovely and all the team friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and engaging. An added bonus was a nearby sandwich and coffee shop.
Great location for the wedding we attended at Danby Castle. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Tea coffee and biscuits were provided and a lovely little outdoor area was also available straight outside our room. Sheila and John were very friendly and the breakfast was delicious.
Super location, lovely old but well maintained property, great staff and cozy pub with comfy rooms and real fires in public spaces . Breakfast is very good. We were attending a wedding at Danby Castle, which is a good 25 minute walk in the beautiful countryside- very good choice to stay.
Lovely traditional cottage, spacey for a one bed, nice garden for sitting out on warm evenings, great location near Danby with bakery and Moors National Park Centre, also Castleton with supermarket, heaps of walks nearby plus Whitby and Esk Valley rail line.
The location is stunning - Danby is beautiful and if you are looking for a peaceful base this is the one. :)
sarah the host is a lovely lady and really accommodating, it was lovely to meet her, Ted the dog and the horses!
Ideal location to stay at for a wedding we were going to at Danby castle Barn just 5 minutes away in car. everything you needed for an overnight stay. I left a jacket behind and they kindly sent it back to me via Evri.
We stayed a few days when our daughter was getting married nearby. The Fox and Hounds were very welcoming to all the wedding party. The night before the wedding they provided a delicious buffet for us in a private room,
We met friends and family and the five of us enjoyed a lovely meal together.
The staff were very friendly, accommodating and the food and beer superb.
We have even been planning a return visit in the near future.
Pretty much everything at this historical building was terrific. The service, the cleanliness, the ambience, the food (oh, the food!), and the location (close to Danby National Park Center) were all exceptional.
What a fantastic hotel, we loved our stay the food was lovely and the room was extremely comfortable I can’t wait to go back!
Beautiful location so peaceful plenty of walks and the drive there was stunning
Good location friendly staff a nice experience for a few days not a week long did prefer when stayed in the hotel last time around would definitely stay in the hotel again
