Restful welcoming good food and Kevin and team made our stay great
Pros:

Kevin made us feel at home when we arrived from Oughtershaw walking the Dalesway. By the river so with window we could hear the nearby stream. Good food especially the lamb stew and a great variety of Indian and vegetarian dishes.
