A great stay which was thoroughly enjoyed by us both. Made special by the friendly/efficient staff.
Pros:

All meals were excellent, being freshly prepared to order. Still prompt & efficient service though. The room was not over big, but certainly met our needs. It was well prepared for our arrival & was a ground floor room as initially requested. The shower was great & general cleanliness throughout was maintained by the staff during our stay.

Cons:

Nothing.

Would definitely stay again
Pros:

Excellent food, friendly people,clean and comfortable. My friends had their dog with them and so we ate in the bar which was perfectly comfortable and left the restaurant free for other diners. A great idea, accommodating everyone. A lovely location.

Cons:

Might be a little far out of Settle for some people without transport. If coming by train aim for Giggleswick Station, which is really close by.
