“Duke Of York's location at the bottom of the Abbey steps provides an interesting contrast of historical access with modern comforts. I particularly noted the dog-friendly accommodations and easy outside access, a real advantage for pet owners exploring Whitby. The live music and community pub atmosphere, coupled with recently refurbished rooms, make it a worthwhile base.”
