The Ellerby Country Inn
Ellerby, Yorkshire
Good Hotel Guide Review
‘A really good find – an inn where residents come first.’ In 2020, a long-time friend of the Guide discovered this family- and dog-friendly Yorkshire village hostelry. With a pretty garden, crisp bedrooms and good pub food, the sandstone inn, with its climbing roses and colourful planters, sits in a row of cottages in pin-neat Ellerby, a mile from the sweep of Runswick Bay. ‘Immaculate housekeeping’ makes the simple, quiet bedrooms – breezy colours, modern oak furniture – perfect for a good night’s sleep after a day’s walking. Some of the shower-only bathrooms can be a squeeze, but they are modern, and all rooms have fresh milk, robes and king- or super-king-size bed. The best share a balcony overlooking the garden. Dine alfresco if the weather allows; otherwise choose the bar or restaurant. ‘Superior classic pub food’ ranges from Whitby scampi and home-made pies to sea bass or steak, and there are good vegetarian options. Owners Mark and Georgie Alderson are ‘keen to ensure you have everything you need’. A ‘lovely place to stay – and eat’. (Lynn Wildgoose)
