This is simple b and b accommodation but importantly it’s comfortable clean with good in room facilities and welcoming helpful staff. Value for money is tremendous and the pub restaurant is much the same. Great stopover on the way back to Scotland. Will be staying again!

Lovely stay at this lovely pub/hotel. Great room and the food was fantastic. Only downside - I am diabetic and asked if I could put a ice block in the hotels freezer for a couple of hours then put back with my insulin, which was refused.

Where did all the spoons go?

Nice clean comfortable room but no tea spoons so a bit of a challenge to make a cup of tea! We arrived at 8.30pm and they had stopped food. However, they rustled us up a plate of chips :)

Beautiful room

We stayed here after a day in Harrogate and Knaresborough. It was a boiling hot day and so I had purposefully booked a place with air conditioning. It did not disappoint! We had such a lovely, comfortable nights sleep with the room at a perfect temperature (you have a remote to control this). The room itself was really lovely, perfect for our needs, with a very modern bathroom. The shower was amazing and I didn’t want to get out! You are provided with hand wash/moisturiser and shower gel/shampoo. Staff in the pub were very friendly and helpful on our arrival. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you 😊
