Description

Located in the village of Danby at the heart of the North York Moors and close to the historic Whitby coast, the Duke of Wellington Inn offers guests beautifully decorated accommodation amongst some of the country’s most stunning scenery. The Duke of Wellington Inn overlooks the village green in Danby and is considered by many to be the most attractive Bed and Breakfast in the North York Moors National Park serving traditional food and ale to its many local customers and travellers to the area. Dating back beyond 1765 the Inn was formerly known as the Red Briar and later the Lord Wellington. It has grown over the centuries to encompass a small holding and cottages and was used as a recruiting post by local regiments during the Napoleonic War. A cast iron plaque of the famous first duke was unearthed during restoration work and can be seen above the fireplace in the main bar. Much work has been done over the years to create immaculately presented accommodation for guests whilst preserving the character and charm of this historic inn. A home to two darts teams, and host to many competitive dominoes matches and the local Quoits team and a monthly folk music night the Duke of Wellington remains a traditional Yorkshire Inn. Now after many years trading the business, the current owner wishes to retire, offering a highly successful and profitable business for its next custodian.
