Fantastic stay with the best hotel breakfast! Lovely room in the seperate 'barn'. Really recommend.

Pros: Fantastic room in the seperate 'barn' with its own private, secure car park. Really recommend, nice touch having a log burner with the fresh milk & coffee serving station. Nice and clean. Best breakfast we have had in a hotel! New dinner menu was varied and top quality food. Overall, a great stay and we will both return in the future.

We had a wonderful stay in this very special place.

Pros: Beautiful setting. Very cosy and relaxed atmosphere. Delicious food. Breakfast buffet and choice of cooked menu was especially good. Attention to details in the room included lovely toiletries, cosy blankets and shortbread biscuits!

Cons: Our arrival during a busy Sunday lunch service was not well timed! Would recommend arriving after 3pm.

A well renovated cozy pub to stay in close enough for a good hike around malham!

Pros: Lovely rooms with a ton of amenities, decent sized telly, loved the artwork in the room and around the pub. Friendly helpful staff. Great location if you’re into hiking. Breakfast was amazing. Loved the wooden games board especially scrabble.

Cons: Pub was slightly over priced for drinks and food but probably not unusual for the area. Loud machine gun type banging noise that went off randomly which was a tad annoying.

Really enjoyable short stay. Would highly recommend.
