Pros: It was in a good location for where we needed to be. The bed was very comfortable. All bases covered for drinks, with Tea, coffee, hot chocolate. White Company bathroom products in big bottles which are more eco friendly.

Ideal for an overnight stay in this beautiful part of the country

Pros: Ideal location. Comfy and well-appointed rooms. Excellent breakfast. Friendly and welcoming staff.

Cons: Shame there is no car park(although there are plenty of car parks in the area). It is a lovely old building but some people might find the stairs and uneven corridors a challenge.

Pros: The Golden Lion has a lovely welcoming atmosphere. The room was extremely comfortable and had everything you need, including a selection of hot drinks and lovely soaps! Breakfast was plentiful and delicious (including a great vegetarian option).

Cons: Nothing!

Recommended - location, food, room.

Pros: This pub hotel was probably better than expected. The rooms were well furnished, the breakfast was very good when all of the options are taken into account, and of course it's well location. White Company toiletries but no mixer taps, fi that helps sum up the experience. Beware of the need for a parking disc when stopping in the market place.

Cons: Nothing in particular. The windows could do with a clean? It can be noisy in rooms at the front of the hotel, but that didn't bother us.

Perfect place for a walking weekend

Pros: The room was immaculate and very comfortable. Lovely finishing touches like the tea cost for the little teapot! We were given a flask of fresh milk to use too. A welcoming log burner as you enter the bar gives a cosy feel and the staff were very welcoming too! A great place to spend a weekend.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.

Nicola 10/10

United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: Lovely pub in the heart of the town 5 min walk from the station. There are car parks around but not sure how busy they'd get in the summer. Staff very very welcoming and the room was really comfortable, loved the shower (no climbing over a bath). We had dinner and breakfast there and it was all delicious, it was February and they were stopping taking food orders from 8.30pm (one couple only just got in). We would definitely recommend here and would stay if in the area again

Cons: We did hear noise from other rooms (TV and people walking around) but it's an old building, not sure they can do much about that.

A Perfect Winter Break

Pros: Exceptional stay. Love coming here and always enjoy our overnights. Food superb and loved the folk band playing ( happens once a month ) throughout dinner. Always a warm welcome, roaring log fires and super dog friendly. Even in winter it makes for a lovely cosy stay and Settle has interesting antique shops to browse and a wonderful museum too. Whats not to like! If you arrive at 3pm the disc parking is free ( the 2 hours takes you to the Free from 5pm - 8am ) Then you can set your disc for 8am which covers you till 10am ) so parking isn't an issue in here.
