We stayed in one of the cabins at the rear if the pub. Very clean, and location at back of pub was well maintained and enclosed, which was perfect as we have a dog. Only downside is one shared toilet and shower between the four cabins, it was clean and didnt cause any issues so only small downside. There are other toilets in the pub itself. Each cabin has a double bed, sofa bed, tv and drawer unit and kettle. Tea, coffee, bicsuits and 1 litre bottle of water in cabin on arrival. The pub itself offers good quality food and drink and is very reasonablly priced. We ate there one night and it was excellent, staff are helpful. The breakfast was freshly cooked and very nice. Location wise the pub is a couple of miles outside of Whitby centre. There is access to the old railway line that has been made into a pathway, all the way into Whitby, which is perfect if you have dogs. A nice walk.

If your looking for peaceful quiet holiday place away from the crowds this place is perfect nothing but countryside around the Windmill Inn, country walks are just 50 yards away from the front door, the breakfast is amazing best I've had in a long time, the dinner menu is very good also & they sell Morretti my favourite drink at the bar, they gave a dart board & pool table inside the pub. All I could hear on a morning & evening was birds singing because the Shepherds Huts are surrounded by trees & away from the busy A171 main road. There's wi-fi inside the pub or around the back on picnic tables so perfect for my teenage boys which allowed me to have the t.v all to myself on an evening which had freeview channels. Coffee/ tea making facilities inside the huts & more spacious on the inside then they look from the outside. Walking distance to Aldi & a lovely bakery that serves lunchtime food. I parked up outside the pub & walked down to the A171 gor the X93 / X94 to take us into Whitby one day & Robin Hoods Bay the day after, so I didn't have the stress of finding a car park space.

Freshly cooked food to order, lovely staff, very clean and lovely room. Only downside to our room was creaky floors which I presume are to do with the age of the building

The staff were very friendly. The hut is nice but the bed was absolutely awful. Very low down. So not great for anyone with mobility issues. Its the mattress though. Absolutely awful. We barely slept. So thin you feel every spring. Cannot stress enough how uncomfortable it was. The shower and toilet are outside. Only one of each. Shared between all the huts. The toilet is very small. Didnt try the shower as it looked pretty bad and was very cold. You have to walk outside to use toilet or shower. So not ideal in the rain. Stairs down from the hut very slippery in the wet. Again. I would warn anyone with mobility issues not to book.We didnt stay for breakfast. Was so fed up and in pain from the bed that we got up, got ready. And left. The lady behind the bar was really lovely though and very helpful on check in. When we were in the bar it was friendly and calm, out in the huts we heard no noise from the bar in the night. There is a good tv with plenty of freeview channels. A kettle and tea and coffee facilities provided. The blinds on the huts do allow some visibility from the outside which isnt great. can now see from other reviews that the bed etc has been an on going issue and the owners havent done anything about it. Even a thick mattress topper would be something but zero has been done. It ruined the experience altogether and the lack of comfort and sleep made us feel completely ripped off. Changed our initial positive feelings on the stay altogether. A real shame.

The staff and the breakfast were awesome. I did feel all the pub locals stared at us on walking through the pub though. Our room was above the pub door, we heard the door bang every time someone entered or left. Sunday morning the music was on really loud and really early so not really the relaxing weekend we thought.

The staff are lovely and the area around the pub is great. We like the set up with only 4 huts and it feels safe. The downside are the beds. They were really uncomfortable and the sofa bed had wood going across the middle and was hard. We ended up all 3 sharing a bed which was tight plus this bed had a very basic mattress. A side light or nightlight would be beneficial. Would also benefit from more toilets and an extra shower as all 4 cabins sharing is a lot. We ate in the pub and the staff are always lovely and the food was good. Breakfast was a highlight. We like the garden area too.

Disappointing Shepherd Hut accommodation. It could be so good but even the small investment in bedside lamps in simple bedside tables was missing. One shared toilet and one shared shower between four huts. Old cheap mattresses, scruffy cheap linens and towels, and single coat hook on walls for clothes rounded it off. The breakfast were quite good and staff were helpful and friendly but that’s the only positive I’m afraid. We ate dinner with friends one evening, again food was ok and service helpful and friendly. Just a few improvements would make an enormous difference, but they seem to sell so they presumably hhink it’s good enough. It’s not. Wouldn’t return.
