We stayed for one night, June 2025, I wish it had been longer! From start to finish, everything about our stay was lovely. Picturesque building in a beautiful setting. Plenty of room in the private car-park. The staff could not have been friendlier. We ate an evening meal in the pub and it was really lovely. Plenty of choice on the menu, reasonably priced and the food was excellent. Our room was spacious and looked as if it had been recently decorated. Comfortable bed, well-appointed bathroom, plenty of amenities. All you would expect from a really good hotel, let alone a country pub. Breakfast was lovely - well cooked, beautifully presented and ample quantities. I can't recommend The Wheatsheaf highly enough! Thank you!

My wife, daughter and I stayed at The Wheatsheaf combining a work trip with some family time. We felt very well looked after at The Wheatsheaf; the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was a really good size for the three for us and we were all very comfortable. It is also a fantastic location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales and Lakes, with the beautiful Ingleton waterfall trail right on the doorstep. Thank you to the team! We hope we get to come back!

Very loud

Food was good. Staff were very pleasant. Stayed in a family room, unfortunately there was a band on that were playing directly under our room from 9-10:30pm so it was ridiculously loud and therefore not family friendly. Room was ok but I feel very overpriced

Mixed

We had booked the Cabaret suite, but something was causing a very loud intermittent noise, like a grinding sound. So was offered a different room, but bed was smaller & rock hard. I had booked the "romantic room" and ended up in the "cricket room".... no compensation offered. However, the food was bloody lovely!

Great place

Fantastic visit to this hotel. Room was lovely and clean, comfy bed, nice towels and even had toiletries. Nice decent sized tv and great variety of teas and coffees. We took our dog Barney and he was made very welcome, even getting a welcome pack. It contain 2 chews, a ball and a poop bag. There were even dog biscuits on the bar for a donation to charity. The bar was nice and with plenty of tables and drinks. A lovely log burner which Barney loved. Fresh bowls of water for him too. We went half board and was worth every penny. The food is amazing. Lots of choices for breakfast and all freshly cooked. The evening meals were delicious too. Being half board you got a choice of a main and a starter or desert. Again all freshly cooked. All the staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful. Would definitely return and recommend.
