Was touring around with my motorcycle. It was not a problem to find me safe off-road parking. The lady behind the bar was very accommodating and made me feel at home right from check-in. The food was excellent and reasonable priced.
The room was well presented and very clean. Bed was comfortable and made for a good night's sleep after a long ride.that day. Breakfast was included in the price and was to the same standard as I came to expect.
Well done, guys you will go on my list to revisit. THANK YOU .

I found this little pub gem on Booking.com as I needed a place to stay the night between Scarborough and Layburn in North Yorkshire. Ideally situated on the route between the two towns. Price was fab as was the whole experience. Bed and room were very comfy, very clean with a great pub varied menu. Staff really helpful and friendly. Will certainly visit again

NO NOISE AT NIGHT. RESIDENTS VERY FRIENDLY. A WONDERFUL CAFE WITHIN 30 METRES , SERVING THE MOST DELICIOUS SANDWICHES AND PASTRIES . A MAINLINE RAIL STATION ON THE DOOR STEP. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON HOSTS A MUSIC NIGHT ON OCCASIONAL THURSDAYS . WITH MUSICIANS JAMMING A WHOLE RANGE OF MUSIC AND INSTRUMENTS , ALL VERY PROFESSIONAL AND ENTERTAINING DANBY IS SO EASY TO FIND ON THE MOOR ; IT'S WELL SIGNE POSTED ,CLOSE TO WHITBY . THE AVAILABLE PARK & RIDE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF WHITBY IS THE MOST SUITABLE ARRANGEMENT FOR VISITING THE TOWN. IT IS EQUALLY AS CHEAP AS THE WHITBY CAR PARKING CHARGES.

Main thing for me - it's a lovely cou try pub just 300 yards from the station - so you can let the train take the strain for a short break instead of haviong the hassle of a long motorway journey. PLUS the Eden valley running east towards Whitby is absolutely gorgeous and not as famous as it should be. If you can imagine a railway line running up Wensleydale you wouldn't be too far off - but the Yorkshire Dales are infinitely more famous.
The Fox & Hounds is a small country house nestled in the North Yorkshire Moors village of Ainthorpe/Danby. It is in a very peaceful setting and really appealed to us as we wanted a chilled and relaxing day and overnight stay away from the hustle and bustle. The property has a combination of en suite accommodation and outside pods. We loved the country feel of the public areas ie bar and restaurant, and there was a great atmospheres there were a number of walking groups. It’s also very dog friendly.
Beautiful house and well located for attending a wedding at Danby Castle. We had the whole top floor to ourselves and Charlotte was a great host. The room was beautifully presented and had a gorgeous bathroom and living space (all with a lovely view). It was spotlessly clean. We had everything we needed.and the bed was so comfy! There is a nice pub and a local shop just around the corner too. Plenty to do within a short drive and not far from Whitby.
We had a wonderful stay at Lilac Cottage over the Easter weekend while attending a wedding at Danby Castle, the area is absolutely beautiful. Nessa was really accommodating to us and the welcome treats on arrival were a lovely touch. The cottage is very well equipped, a real home from home with a log burner for those chillier evenings. We were extra lucky to see newborn lambs which were in the field next to the cottage garden. Highly recommend!
Location was idyllic for exploring the North Yorkshire Moors. The Duke of Wellington was as characteristic and decorated as you'd expect of coaching inn of the period. Rooms were clean and freshly furnished. The food was lovely and all the team friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and engaging. An added bonus was a nearby sandwich and coffee shop.
Very close to Danby Castle where we had attended a wedding for the evening. Host arranged check in earlier as this worked better for the itinerary of the day. Room was perfect for a quick stop over. Bed was very large and very comfortable. Would definitely recommend if you are attending a wedding at the Castle.
Everything about our stay from start to finish exceeded our expectations. Honestly such a great place to stay. And was perfect for us location wise, as we were there for a wedding at Danby Castle.
My friend and I will definitely be visiting again.
Thank you to all the Fox and Hounds for an amazing stay.
Sheila, Gerald and John were fantastic hosts. Room was clean, well equipped and warm despite the snow and -8°C overnight temperature.
Breakfast was tasty and nicely cooked. Was served in a little private breakfast room.
Would recommend as a place to stay if attending a wedding at Danby Castle.
Lovely traditional cottage, spacey for a one bed, nice garden for sitting out on warm evenings, great location near Danby with bakery and Moors National Park Centre, also Castleton with supermarket, heaps of walks nearby plus Whitby and Esk Valley rail line.
The location is stunning - Danby is beautiful and if you are looking for a peaceful base this is the one. :)
sarah the host is a lovely lady and really accommodating, it was lovely to meet her, Ted the dog and the horses!
We stayed a few days when our daughter was getting married nearby. The Fox and Hounds were very welcoming to all the wedding party. The night before the wedding they provided a delicious buffet for us in a private room,
We met friends and family and the five of us enjoyed a lovely meal together.
The staff were very friendly, accommodating and the food and beer superb.
We have even been planning a return visit in the near future.
Pretty much everything at this historical building was terrific. The service, the cleanliness, the ambience, the food (oh, the food!), and the location (close to Danby National Park Center) were all exceptional.
The Duke of Wellington is a real traditional old english inn the the pretty village of Danby North Yorkshire. The rooms are clean ond comfortable, the food is excellent and the staff are very welcoming.
