Stunning location, and a pleasant atmosphere. The hospitality is excellent, with friendly staff, and the food is absolutely fantastic. I would stay there again, simply for the wonderful comfort food.
The room was comfortable, if a little dated. I'd recommend the bathtub be stripped out and a proper shower fitted. While I like spiders, the room was full of little garden spiders, and that might put other people off.

It definitely had its country feel to it, but also like we had stopped off at an American fuel station/nick-nack pub. Adored all of the pieces that they've gotten together all throughout the years to make it feel comfortable. And it definitely was indeed. We took our dog and they were very friendly with us all. It definitely had a homely feeling. The room was very clean and comfortable and had everything you needed. Thank you all again and for also helping me in the morning with the ice and making sure I was okay. (Fell in the shower). The staff were lovely and very efficient. The food was also great, although it could have done with a bit more variety on the menu as some folks can be picky and wasn't too sure on the menu. Other than that. Fab!

Beautiful countryside location set back from a rather busy road. All food was excellent, good choice at breakfast and hot food cooked to order. Good selection of evening meals in the bar, although I would have liked to see a selection of smaller portion meals.
Road noise and poor shower pressure

With a lovely location facing the open countryside and a fascinating interest in motor vehicles this pub with accommodation is well worth a visit. They keep good cask beer and the dinners and breakfasts were very good. The staff were very helpful.
The wi-fi in our room was somewhat unreliable.

Quirky, characterful hotel in a lovely location. Breakfast and evening meals were very good with anttentive and friendly service.
Was disappointed with the small dated room based on price of £150. They may wish to keep the old fashioned character but some modernisation and luxury needed in the bedrooms to warrant the price. Do not bother with the nature reserve.

Breakfast was very good, perfectly cooked poached eggs! Dinner, excellent tender lamb shank and a variety of fresh vegetables. Staff were very attentive, good humoured and polite. Very comfortable bed. Dogs are made welcome.
All good except the weather. Arrived in an awful storm and missed out on the nature reserve.

I enjoyed excellent poached egg on toast, and buttered kipper fillets next morning. We both enjoyed ceral, fruit juice and toast, coffee served by friendly staff.
The much vaunted nature reserve in much need of urgent maintenance, and the 2 foot-bridges are positively dangerous, and should be fenced off! We could only hear and not see the water-fowl!

Idyllic spot. The pub is also a wonderful mini motor museum so there's lots to see and look at. Fabulous walking on the doorstep. A friendly welcome and nice evening meal. Proper pub grub. Our room was a little tired and dated but spotlessly clean. Thank you 😊
Nothing. Maybe time for new bedding with a nice duvet and pillows but definitely not a deal breaker.

The location was excellent with a view of the country side from the room. Ideal location for touring the area by car. The bar had interesting displays of classic car and bygone years memorabilia. Friendly helpful staff made quests feel welcome.
No dislikes.

Location was very scenic. Our bedroom overlooked the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. The breakfast was good. The evening meal was of a good quality and above average portions, which was most welcome after a hard day's cycling and walking. Room service was daily and biscuits replenished.
My only disappointment was that I, as a gluten free diet wasn't given gluten free biscuits, which would have been very good. (but not surprised that I wasn't) The check out time was too early (10am) I propose that 11am would have been a better time for us as we were rushing a bit after breakfast.
