A lovely pub with fab rooms. Stayed in one of the lodge rooms which were gorgeous! All mod cons, clean, well-presented and a great bonus of a balcony. Had our evening meal in the pub which was delicious! Highly recommend the bbq platter.

Fantastic experience and will be back
Pros:

Comfortable bedroom and so good for dogs. The area, the surroundings, the treatment from staff, all excellent. The food was surprisingly incredible (venison was to die for) and I’d go back there just for it. My dog got a sausage for breakfast which was a genuinely kind gesture. 10/10. Lovely area to walk around with cute farm animals next door.

Very nice two night stay
Pros:

Stayed for two nights. All the staff were wonderful. Excellent Sunday roast and breakfast buffet. Room was a little small but had everything we needed and was very clean. I’d recommend trips to nearby Brimham Rocks, Fountains Abbey and Ripon.

Pros:

Fantastic place to stay, was perfect for us when visiting Harrogate and North Yorkshire. Staff were excellent, super polite and helpful, showed us to our room and nothing was too much trouble during breakfast. Was nice to see staff take so much pride in their hospitality. Room was clean and stylish, extra points for a modern bathroom, with the balcony area being great for sitting out in the stars and chatting. Would happily go back here. Place was 10/10, and in a great location for transport too

Pros:

Could do with more staff at dinner and breakfast. Slow service but not because of ineffective staff - they were just rushed off their feet!

Pros:

We stayed here whilst we visited the Great Yorkshire Show. Ideal for travelling to and from the show. Staff were at the Inn were not only friendly but very helpful. We had a toddler with us and having an outside space was ideal for us all
Staff are a credit to the owners and we would definately stay again
