Lovely comfortable stay for tired hikers
Pros:

We stayed for the 3 yorkshire peaks challenge so it was lovely to have a nice comfortable and clean room to come back to. Check in was really smooth and the place was easy to find; right opposite giggleswick station and walkable into Settle town.

We were up too early for the breakfast on the day of the hike, but the staff were incredibly helpful and packed us a very generous continental breakfast to take with us, and even offered a packed lunch which kept us going. The pub and restaurant below also offered delicious food in the evening.

Lovely room (number 8) extremely clean and comfy bed too. Room is small but it is an old building and it didn't bother us. We had a lovely view over a field with lambs and rabbits running around.
