Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
‘A gem of a place' with 'delicious food and loads of walks from the doorstep', the Reynolds family's small Georgian-cum-Victorian country house is much loved by readers. Built by the influential Ingilby family of Ripley Castle, it is commodious, welcoming, ‘a place where nothing goes wrong, with friendly staff'. Bedrooms are traditionally styled, from doubles to suites, all supplied with fresh fruit, homemade biscuits, Molton Brown toiletries. A reader staying in the attic suite reported that 'the bed was big and comfy, the setting peaceful… views spectacular'. In the dining room, short menus of locally sourced produce feature dishes such as cod poached in wakame oil or pork ribeye with sweet and sour cheek and gooseberries. Readers who enjoyed the tasting menu reported that 'all ten courses were delightful and varied' and were matched with delicious wines. Others commented on the 'wonderful ingredients cooked to perfection'. There is a good choice of breakfast dishes, and you can order a picnic for a day walking the Dales; the hotel is at the foot of Ingleborough. (BW, CP, LP)
