We always like to go here for lunch if in the area. The food is well-presented & delicious, friendly service, the view second to none. We leave feeling relaxed & well fed.

What a fab old building, full of character but clean and well appointed rooms. Lovely staff and really very good food! Very impressed with the quality of the breakfast, the ‘proper’ bacon and sausages were delicious. I didn’t take the name of the absolutely lovely lady managing front of house when we arrived, but bearing in mind the place was fully booked and she was super busy, took time to show us our rooms etc!

Great Caesar salad- very tasty & generous portions. Lemon posset and homemade shortbread were wonderful. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

A large family group of three generations (ages 1-70) for Sunday lunch. Excellent food for vegans and all the rest. Good beer. Good roast lunches. Child-friendly - ours were pretty well-behaved but one felt that staff would have coped. Nice surroundings, good food, good beer, good company. A memorable meal which we will all remember fondly.

We was recommended the punch bowl by our host, so 4 of us gave it a try, the place inside is very nice and welcoming, the bar manager was very helpful and a breath of fresh air ,a very northern girl with a great northern charm the food is great I had the steak pie which was excellent my wife and daughter had a 3 cheese chicken dish which was very nice aswell, my daughter s boyfriend had the burger which he said was excellent 4 drinks 4 mains around £88 I would recommend this place if you are ever in swaledale

What an amazing place, with fantastic views and a great homely feel. We enjoyed our two night stay very much. Friendly staff and delicious food, the atmosphere was perfect. Ideally located to see everything we wanted and some quaint villages. Only one downside, no shower and I would have preferred this as I struggled in the bath. Even if it was over the bath this would have been much easier. All spotlessly clean and delicious homemade biscuits plus coffee and tea making facilities. We could have stayed longer!
