Pros:

The location was perfect for us as it was so close to Victoria Hall, Settle. The separate entrance meant that we could arrive back late and not disturb others. The breakfast was delicious. My only slight negative was the twin beds when I was expecting a double.

Good food and a comfortable stay
Pros:

A comfortable bed and clean room. The food was very good - both breakfast and dinner. The temperature of the room could be set at the radiator and was easy to control.

Cons:

The door to the shower did not meet completely at the bottom. Also turning the shower head on to warm up before use, it was difficult to make sure the water didn't come out as you opened the doors to get in. No heater in the bathroom made the bathroom cold if you closed the door to the bedroom.
