Lovely country hotel with large garden and free parking. Our room had a comfortable bed,fridge, fan and tv . The bathroom was clean with extra large towels. We ate at restaurant for 3 evenings. Menu had a good choice of meals and food was lovely. Restaurant was very busy so pre booking advised. We had a great breakfast each day with hot and cold selections. Bus stops outside to Whitby and Saltburn which was a bonus. Lovely hotel with wonderful staff and we would definately stay again

The staff might just be the friendliest in Great Britain. It made the stay a delight and we used the great conservatory space to watch a Christmas movie with our little one. Great food and great beer/wine. You need a car to access all the local things (Runswick Bay/Whitby/Scarborough/Moors) but we will come back each year as we love it.

An absolute little gem of a place - our dog friendly room (No. 7) was really lovely - very homely and immaculately clean. The staff are super friendly, helpful and really go out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. Our evening meal by the cosy fireplace was absolutely faultless - proper home cooked comfort food, and the breakfast equally as good too. Wish we could have stayed longer - highly recommend and will absolutely be back.

We had two nights at this hotel based on the excellent reviews, and we were not disappointed. Everything was exemplary. The room was spacious with probably the most comfortable bed we've slept in for ages. The food was equally good: nothing too fancy but perfectly cooked and piping hot. The same goes for breakfast. And if you like your beer, the Timothy Taylors Landlord was perfectly stored and served.

The location is superb - easy driving distance from Saltburn down to Whitby and beyond. If you prefer, you can leave the car and travel by bus with regular buses going along the coast.

Service by every single staff member was excellent - smiling, helpful and engaging. We hope to return again and highly recommend this lovely inn.

Beautiful garden and room. The room was a good size with a large, comfy bed, great shower and fresh milk for tea and coffee.
We ate dinner there, having established that there were options for a vegetarian who was also coeliac. I had a vegan but not GF wellington, which was lovely. Breakfast was also excellent, with a coeliac-friendly omelette with GF toast. It was all delicious, so thank you Ellerby Inn!
The website said EV charging was available. We enquired at check-in and they said we could plug in our granny cable for a slow overnight charge. We didn't have it with us, but it would have been a great option if we did.
The staff were welcoming, friendly and caring. We hope to stay again sometime.

My only gripe is the the amount of dog faeces in the garden. Two of our party managed to get some underfoot. Next day it had been covered over with sand, not sure that was the best course of action!

We had a really lovely stay at the Ellerby, the staff were the friendliest that I've ever met in a hotel. They can't do enough for you, always with a smile and a chat. Food was great too, Everywhere was spotlessly clean, and it was extremely dog friendly, both our dogs had a sausage each for breakfast every day! Hotel isn't 5 star luxury, but it was certainly one of the nicest places we've ever stayed. We loved it and can highly recommend.

Stopped for a night while walking the Cleveland Way with a friend and couldn't fault the property or service! The location is and property are beautiful, and from the moment we arrived the staff were polite and attentive and went out of their way to help with a breakfast complication (caused by our walk planning rather than the property). Particularly fond of the little garden just outside the rooms! Excellent place - would definitely stay again under more relaxed circumstances!
