Duke Of York in Whitby, England

Duke of York offers 7 recently refurbished rooms with private bathrooms, hairdryers, and coffee machines. The Quayside Superior rooms include a freestanding bath and a huge walk-in shower with sea views over the harbour. Each room has individual external access, allowing direct entry to the beach and private seating areas for guests with dogs.

A daily breakfast buffet is served with Continental, Full English, Vegetarian, and Vegan options, plus freshly cooked items like eggs Benedict and smashed avocado. The pub runs live music performances and live sport events in the evening, with an outdoor beer garden on the waterfront. Guests can order seafood dishes such as fish and chips with crispy batter and homemade chips from the pub kitchen.

The hotel sits directly on Whitby Beach with harbour views, less than a 1 km walk to the sandy shore. Whitby Abbey is a 4-minute walk up the 199 steps, and the Captain Cook Memorial Museum is on the same cobbled street. North York Moors National Park and scenic walking routes are easily accessible from the hotel entrance.

Dogs are allowed in select rooms by prior arrangement, with water bowls provided and a small beach 50 metres from the room entrance for early morning walks. Pet bowls are offered at the pub, and the hotel charges a £25 per dog per stay fee that is advised at booking. The ground-floor rooms with external access allow dogs to come and go without passing through the main building.

Family rooms are available with 3 comfortable beds (2 single and 1 double) and large windows offering sea views over the harbour. Children can use the free Wi-Fi and order from the kids' menu during evening meals in the pub. The hotel provides a free daily breakfast for children sharing with adults, with vegetarian and vegan options available.
