Cosy pub ..

A beautiful traditional pub decorated for Christmas and with gorgeous open fires, traditional ales and mulled cider. We were made to feel very welcome with our dog, the room was clean, comfortable and warm on arrival and we were provided with a superb breakfast consisting of local produce. The food menu had a nice choice of home cooked meals and we ate here both evenings of our stay. Great visit and we would definitely stay again.

Cosy hospitable pub/hotel

Stayed here with a friend in preparation for Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge. Check in very easy. Warm welcome. Very hospitable staff. We had to leave the hotel early next morning before kitchen opened but staff left us breakfast (cereals, yogurt etc) out for us which was really appreciated. Also made us sandwiches to take with us. Pub/bar and food was really good. Cosy.

Visit to the Dales

A pleasant English pub in a lovely setting. The room was a bit small and the bathroom sink rather difficult to use. Service was excellent and the owner couldn't have been nicer, especially when the power was off when we arrived. Food and drink was very good so overall not bad at all.

comfort away from the crowds

Nice country inn. Narrow, steep stairways a bit of a hassle to maneuver with luggage, but staff was quick to offer help at all times. The room was a comfortable size (important since we got rained out one day while the restaurant/pub were closed !) and nicely decorated. The bathroom is a bit small with a small sink and small shower, but plenty of hot water to warm up after getting caught in the rain. Breakfast was the fully cooked version and delicious - the ingredients all tasted fresh. We had dinner at the on premises pub and it too was delicious. I can imagine that the National Park area must get swarmed in the summer, so this was a nice retreat while still within walking distance of the park (about a mile away) Welcoming hospitality and good beers on tap.

Dad and the lads - Stag do #1

Lovely proper country pub with good choice of beers and sound well prepared grub. Comfy beds with good shower. Plenty tea/ coffee choices and fresh milk readily available. No tellys - which might rankle with some at first - but embrace it because that's the point. Enjoy the place, the surroundings. Time to stop and listen and talk; indulge the senses. Lovely church next door and....oh yeah, a tranquil and handy alternative to Malham which gets a bit clogged with daytippers. Good base for the 3 peaks which was our mission.
