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.

Loved our stay in the shepherds hut. Great family get away in a lovely location. Fun alternative to our usual camping. Lovely facilities, amazing welcoming staff and delicious breakfast. Short drive to all local destinations…wish we had stayed another night!

Lovely place for an overnight or weekend break.

Room in the Windmill was clean and spacious. Bed was very comfortable. Loved being able to have a deep luxurious bath... so relaxing after being out in Whitby and walking most of the day Staff were welcoming and very accommodating. Got asked every morning if we needed anything doing or replacing in the room. Breakfasts and evening meals were amazing, with lots of choice and using locally resourced produce. Need to have a good appetite as portions were more than ample. Sunday lunch was unbelievable. Very popular family friendly pub, but plenty of seating outside to sit and unwind on a summer evening and enjoy the lovely views. Noise from the bar on an evening could be a put off for some but it wasn't an issue for us.

Nothing to like on the whole. Outside property not appealing. Stairs up to room - carpet was dirty. Room decor needed attention. Paint peeling from wall. Curtain tieback hooks fell out of wall. Bathroom clean and new looking. Over bath shower but no shower screen. No toiletries apart from Aldi hand soap. Bed comfortable. Good breakfast.
