Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
Log fires and settles downstairs, country-style bedrooms up. This 18th-century inn, a former coaching house, has a good reputation for its cheerful, knowledgeable staff and good atmosphere: there are real ales from nearby Masham, and a warm welcome for dogs. In the bar and candlelit restaurant, modern British menus are based on ingredients that are farmed, fished and grown as locally as possible and might include glazed salt aged pork belly or fillet of smoked haddock. Bedrooms have a more rustic style in the main building, and some have views across the village to the dales; more contemporary rooms are in the converted stables. It's not far to Bolton Castle and Fountains Abbey.
