Excellent venue for short break!
Pros:

The room was of a good size, clean and comfortable. Excellent breakfast. We ate in the pub both nights and food was very good. The staff were extremely helpful and welcoming.

Cons:

The pub is on the main Settle to Kendal road, so if the room is facing the road, can be a bit noisy. Fortunately the traffic is minimal at night!
