Location matched by warmth of welcome
Pros:

Staff were exceptionally welcoming and friendly throughout our stay. It was great to have a fridge too. Dinner was extremely good, the menu choices were interesting, and our food was prepared and presented beautifully. Our waitresses were engaging and chatty.

Cons:

The room we had was beautifully furnished but had no window that opened and given the heat wave we're enjoying it would have been good to have been able to open a window during the night.

Lovely hotel in a great location
Pros:

Lovely hotel, perhaps slightly overpriced for the facilities available. A chair in the bedroom would have been nice. Food on offer was very good both at breakfast and dinner.

Lovely place with fantastic food
Pros:

The overall stay was nice and only a few minutes from where we were attending a wedding, the food was amazing and the manager was very friendly and helpful

Cons:

Our first greeting wasn’t to friendly off the bar staff when we were trying to check in, we didn’t feel comfortable, but the following day was much better, also we could hear a lot of movement from the pub upstairs, it wouldn’t put us off staying again though.

Little gem, great location & staff
Pros:

Friendly, attentive staff from checking in to leaving on all areas. Fab location, easily walkable to Settle in 10 minutes Sunday Roast amazing, lovely beer garden, great views. Our room std double comfortable & clean. Tray for muddy shoes is a good thing too. Great rear car park as well.

Cons:

Think the space in std double which is cozy & clean, makes it limited but would prefer a small hanging rail instead of 9 small drawers & a hobbit cupbard for hanging clothes& nowhere to pop toilet bags in bathroom. Wouldn't stop me staying again for sure.

Staff amazing.....helpful and polite, food really good, just need a draught free door in room 8!!!
Pros:

Food was really good. Breakfast had the usual selection of cereals granolas and fresh fruit/yoghurts. Hot food also available including full english, and various egg dishes. Quality excellent!!

Cons:

We stayed at the hotel as we were attending a wedding in Settle just a stones throw away. We were given room 8 a ground floor room at the back of the hotel. Very comfortable, and clean, but not overly big. Main criticism was the draught blowing through the door. A draught excluder would be useful. I would not want to stay in this room mid winter!!!
