Nice quiet comfy clean stay. Would go back .

Pros: Staff were really nice and helpful. It was quiet which I liked. Clean. Food menu was very limited but i tried the Shepherds Pie and it was lovely. Welcome dogs too which is good to know.

Cons: Parking is hard, I used a pay and display about 3 minute walk away which was OK , you'll do well to park on road near the pub but really thats a minor point.

Great location for the Dales

Pros: Lovely old pub in a quiet village near Settle. Only a few rooms, which are quite small but beautifully appointed. Meals are not included, but we had an excellent dinner and a basic breakfast, with special provision of gluten-free food (and beer!) at my request. By chance, we arrived on quiz night and enjoyed a lovely atmosphere in the company of the village residents. The hotel has free parking and is well located for Malham, Ingleton and the rest of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

Cons: Some might find the steep, narrow stairs up to the bedrooms quite difficult.
