We had 3 lovely nights, the inn was spotless the staff were efficient so friendly, they could not do enough for you, coming back after a full day out was lovely to just chill outside in the garden or by the bar, before our evening meal. The food was delicious every time, Breakfast was always welcoming before going out for the day.

Louisa United Kingdom

Warm welcome, dinner reservation was easily moved back half an hour so we could shower beforehand, very comfortable room, DELICIOUS MEAL, lovely wine, great sleep, amazing breakfast... Literally everything!

Sarah United Kingdom

Comfortable rooms that had been well though out with little touches like plug sockets where you need them, adapters, umbrella etc. Nicely decorated and equipped plus a small outside area that came in useful with the evening sunshine. A key reason for the stay was the food - which is always good. Dinner was excellent and breakfast choice and quality was similar. Staff are friendly and professional, service is good. Handy location for the dales and nearby towns. Some local walks/footpaths easily accessible straight from the property. I was very impressed with the steps taken to handle Covid-related issues - restaurant and one-way system logically arranged without being intrusive.
