If you’re planning to walk the Herriot Way, do yourself a favour and book into Coleman’s Bed and Breakfast in Aysgarth — it’s an absolute gem. After a long day hiking, the rooms were everything I needed and more: spacious, spotlessly clean, and ridiculously comfortable. The cherry on top? The B&B literally backs onto the start and end point of the Herriot Way. You can roll out of bed, lace up your boots, and be on the trail within minutes. Genius. Hosts Pete and Theresa are a dream — warm, welcoming, and totally on the ball. Breakfast is made-to-order, none of this fixed-menu nonsense. Just say what you want, when you want it, and it’s there waiting for you, piping hot and perfect. They’ve also got a brilliantly maintained caravan and camping site with loads of great facilities if you’re going down the outdoorsy route. Honestly, whether you’re in boots or a camper van, this place nails it. Can’t recommend it enough.

The property is a lovely building with a handful of different types of rooms, I stayed in the suite which I absolutely loved, great space, fantastically clean and was equipped with everything I could think of needing. Perfectly presented throughout Attentive staff, couldn’t do enough with recommendations on where to go, what to do and gave us a full brief of where to find things in the property that we’d have access too. Pete was overall fantastic, friendly warm welcome, made a wonderful breakfast for us in the morning, took note of preferences and made it a really awesome stay so thank you very much. We’ll be looking to return later on in with year to enjoy exploring the area’s surrounding the village more.

I couldn’t name one thing that I didn’t like about the property

Myself, my wife and our cocker spaniel Teddy, stayed here over the weekend. What an incredible find this was. The B&B was exceptional. The room was a great size for the 3 of us. On arrival, there were dog bowls, dog towels and a dog bed all ready in our room. The room had everything we could need for a weekend getaway. The big rainfall shower was particularly my favourite. We had a fantastic breakfast the next morning, with more than enough on offer. The hosts were both incredible. Very friendly and very welcoming. Our pooch (Teddy) met their pooch, also called Teddy. Thank you both for a great stay. Cat & Alex

Exceptional property in a lovely location. Stayed in this area many times before, but this was my first stay at the Colman's . Couldn't recommend this B&B enough 👌🏻 outstanding breakfast with plenty of choice, exceptionally clean room with everything you need, and more . I could go on and on ! My only regret was that I didn't say goodbye to a superb host in Clare , as she was busy talking with other guests, and I didn't want to be rude . So thank you Clare for a lovely stay, will definitely be coming back.

Nothing

The location was so beautiful, and very peaceful. Our hosts Clare and Matt were so very welcoming. Our room was immaculately presented, very clean and super fresh. The bed and pillows were so comfortable we slept soundly. Also the welcome tray was very good with the added bonus of homemade Rocky Road which was delicious. The breakfast was amazing, a really good selection/ choice...compliments to Matt as the cooked breakfast was delicious. The service from our host Clare really made a great start to our stay and day ...she was so cheerful and friendly. Also she was very knowledgeable of the area and helpful with suggestions of places to visit. This Bed and Breakfast is the best we have ever stayed in...we would definitely recommend staying here.

We only booked 1 night...

Amazing host - very friendly and accommodating! Room was lovely, clean and very homely. Great location for local walks and nice pub in the walking distance. Fantastic breakfast. All little additions like local hand made soap, drink on arrival, quality teas and coffees in the room - every single detail well thought out- highly recommended

Can’t fault anything.

Extremely comfortable room. Great shower room. Smart TV had lots of channels included. Home made biscuits, fresh milk and real coffee, not instant. Bed was huge and very comfortable. Hosts were extremely obliging, nothing was too much trouble.

Nothing much apart from the weather. The room wasn't cheap, but it was worth it.

Good village location with a few places to eat in a great spot for some beautiful walks across the dales. Zero light pollution means there was a fantastic view of the stars at night too. Then the hosts, I think they are quite possibly the nicest, most welcoming hosts I have met. They are warm and welcoming and have really considered every last detail. They seem to do everything with such joy and it it very nice to watch people enjoy their work so much. It was a real pleasure to stay here.

This is the best B&B we have stayed in. Claire is a kind, helpful and so welcoming host and makes you a tasty (local fresh ingredients) cooked breakfast, comfy and immaculately clean rooms with so many added extras - home made flapjack, fresh milk and an outstanding knowledge of the area. What a lovely few days we’ve had - thank you so much!

Nothing!

The easiest way to sum this review up is within the property we saw a Booking.com review score 9.9 and both my wife and I said we can't understand why it's not 10. From the welcoming, attentive owners, to the clean, spacious, modern rooms, everything was excellent. So happy we chose to stay here for our anniversary.

That we hadn't booked to stay longer and had to come home.
