Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
Log fires and settles downstairs, country-style bedrooms up. This 'sophisticated' 18th-century inn, a former coaching house, is liked for its 'pleasant, 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: twice baked Wensleydale cheese soufflé with a chive cream sauce; partridge, truffle hash brown, kalettes, macadamia nuts. Bedrooms have a more rustic style in the main building, and some have views across the village to the dales; more contemporary 'big and comfortable' rooms are in the converted stables. Nearby Bolton Castle and Fountains Abbey.
