Pros:

Zentral gelegen, Pub im Haus, guter Ausgangspunkt in die Dales.

Cons:

Bis auf eine männliche Person, die das Frühstück brachte, recht unpersönlich. Reichlich Renovierungsstau. Kurze Betten mit klapernden Kopfkeil. Wasserdruck mau. Verletzungsgefahr durch billige Wc- Deckel.

We enjoyed our visit and it’s in a good location.
Pros:

The Breakfast is a preorder one. However do not be put off by that. We were half an hour early for our breakfast
And seen to straight away. Very nice it was.

Cons:

It’s unfortunate that it is lacking Disability facilities. It is an old building and the proprietors are limited with space.

Excellent breakfast and view from room - location also couldn't be better. Surprising quite as the pub was down stairs and there was music on. Room lovely and clean.

Comfortable, convenient, dog-friendly
Pros:

Perfect for the location - right in the middle of the High Street. Just stopped for one night - bed and shower was all we needed with the dog. Breakfast was excellent too.

Cons:

Just needs a little modernising in places but I guess most guests are walkers and don't really care as long as they get a good sleep, shower and breakfast!

Te veel geld voor de geleverde kwaliteit. Slecht dat niet naar buiten kunnen kijken niet is benoemd in de omschrijving.
Pros:

Het dorp er omheen
Het ontbijt en de bediening bij het ontbijt was goed

Cons:

De kamer had 2 kleine ramen met glas waardoor je niet naar buiten kon kijken.
We hadden een kamer geboekt met 1 bed, maar kregen 2 aparte bedden.
De bedden waren te hard.
Niet ingesteld op langere mensen. Te lage en te kleine wastafel. Rondom de trap veel te smal en te laag dus hoofd stoten.
