Pros:

Stunning

Cons:

Staff who received us did not share information with us about the room saying he did not know as it wasn’t his job, he was very indifferent to our situation.Kitchen staff and breakfast was amazing

Very enjoyable.
Pros:

Lovely location, great breakfast choices which included freshly prepared fruit. Dinner menu included a specials board. Very comfortable bed and superb shower.

Cons:

Some renovation of the building is required , but the Assheton Arms is leased by James’ Places so the land owner -Assheton Estate needs to do the work.

Can’t wait to go back and try some more things on the menu and stay in this beautiful area
Pros:

The room, was not in the pub, but in its own block of beautiful traditional cottages overlooking the church.
The staff and food at the pub were excellent, we were travelling with our dog, but instead of getting the dodgy dog room, our room was beautifully kept and clean and the staff at the pub were very accommodating ,breakfast menu was extensive and catered for all.
Will definitely be returning.

Cons:

Nothing
