the staff were very friendly, our room was very spacious and very good parking space for our car; small but nice breakfast buffet with a nice big selection for your freshly prepare main breakfast dish - very nice touch and delicious; also the free internet was very fast

Joerg Hong Kong

Great breakfast, very accommodating with the choices available

Mark United States of America

Excellent location a reasonable distance from the motorway making it an ideal overnight stopover to visit family in Yorkshire. All the staff are welcoming, pleasant, and helpful. The food is excellent and its mention in the Michelin guide is well deserved.

We used to live in this village and so were familiar with The Oak. The room was of a good size, clean and comfortable. Gastro pub, serving excellent food. Breakfast offered a good range of options and was very tasty.

  • We are travelling on two motorbikes. If we booked two rooms can we park right up near the rooms, for security, like the photo suggests? Which rooms would be nearest the bikes! Thanks.

    Thank you for getting in touch. Our parking spaces are located directly outside all 12 of our rooms, therefore, parking directly outside any of our rooms will not be an issue. Kind regards, Rosie
