The Black Horse - A traditional pub with award-winning ales, Yorkshire Tapas, and historic charm in Whitby's old town

Set in Whitby's old town, The Black Horse is a traditional two-bar pub offering four en-suite rooms on a room-only basis. Guests can enjoy award-winning cask ales, craft beers, over 30 gins, and a selection of rum and wine, alongside a Yapas (Yorkshire Tapas) menu featuring dishes like homemade crab pate and Barnard's pork pies. The pub features one of Europe's oldest public serving bars, dating to the 1870s, and stocks Wilson's of Sharrow nasal snuff in various flavors. Rooms include hot drink facilities, toiletries, TVs, and hair dryers, though breakfast is not provided-nearby cafes offer alternatives. The Black Horse supports local charities, including Whitby Lifeboat and Runswick Bay Rescue Boat, and is dog-friendly, with treats and water bowls available. Landmarks like the 199 Steps and Whalebone Arch are within 0.5 km, while Durham Tees Valley Airport is 75 km away.

Pros

The pub serves award-winning cask ales and a unique Yorkshire Tapas menu.

Dog-friendly with treats and water bowls provided in both bars.

Rooms include en-suite facilities, TVs, and hot drink makers.

Historic charm, featuring one of Europe's oldest public serving bars.

Proximity to Whitby's landmarks, including the 199 Steps (0.5 km away).

Cons

Breakfast is not provided, though cafes are nearby.

No on-site parking; the nearest car park is a short walk away.

“This spot seems to have mastered the art of the welcoming atmosphere, especially appreciated after a day exploring Whitby. The French onion soup alone might justify a return visit; it's memorable. What stands out is its blend of quality and value, offering a unique dining experience without the hefty price tag found elsewhere.”
