Hayburn Wyke Inn

A proper country-inn sort of stop, tucked between Scarborough and Whitby with woodland, coast and good walking country all around it. Hayburn Wyke Inn is an 18th-century coaching inn with a traditional pub feel, Yorkshire ales, hearty food and a bar area that welcomes well-behaved dogs inside.

It is the kind of place that suits muddy boots, post-walk appetites and a dog who thinks every firelit pub was built entirely for them. The bar area keeps paws and people together, so nobody needs to do the pavement-waiting shuffle after a coastal ramble.

Very strong "one quick drink" turning into lunch energy, which is exactly what windswept dog walkers and hopeful noses need after tackling the trails around Hayburn Wyke.
