Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Ellerby Country Inn from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Ellerby Country Inn is known for its delicious, generous meals, particularly the popular Sunday Lunch, although the lasagna was considered disappointing by some. The rooms are spacious, frequently updated, and guests appreciate the powerful showers and option for a good-sized bath. Conveniently located, the X4 coastal bus to Whitby and Saltburn stops right outside, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. You can expect a tasty breakfast, and parking is readily available for guests.

early closure small portion
The staff were attentive, but the bar closed unexpectedly early one evening. I wanted to relax with a drink after dinner, but everything was already locked up by 9:30 pm. No one informed us of the early closure, which i found quite DISAPPOINTING. the lasagna I ordered one night had very little beef for the price (nearly £18).
