Lovely, clean comfortable, ideal location find
Pros:

Have stayed here before, ideal location for Settle Victoria Hall… Clean, comfortable, friendly staff.. Complimentary items in fridge on corridor a nice touch.. Although the room is a little dated & tired, it’s very homely.. Breakfast was good Won’t hesitate to stay again

Cons:

The room wasn’t checked after our first night, the drinks weren’t replenished & the bin wasn’t emptied.. Only a minor issue as we always make our beds & leave it tidy

Beautiful, clean, feel good hotel - and dog friendly!
Pros:

Big, comfy spacious rooms, 2 dog beds with a goody bag laid out for both dogs, everything was clean, food was to die for, lovely staff, great location - everything was great! The free bottled water was also a lovely touch (from someone who struggles with tap water). Incredible hotel.

Spacious room, friendly staff and a great pub. Definitely recommend staying here.
Pros:

The room and bathroom was spacious. Quiet too. Beds comfy, I slept well. Plenty of parking. Staff were friendly. Having milk and juice available in a fridge near the room was handy. Lovely evening meal. A ten minute walk into Settle.

Cons:

Just a few little things which weren’t a big issue at all. Bathroom was a bit tired. Wardrobes needed straightening up.

HARTS HEAD HOTEL FEB 2026
Pros:

Excellent location. Very helpful, friendly staff. Good facilities. Great breakfast choices and excellent food available in the evening.

Cons:

The dog friendly room that we had did not have any windows so it was a little stuffy during the night. This meant that our sleep was disrupted slightly but it wouldn't put us off staying there again.
