“An old fashioned 17th-century country hotel in the Nidd valley (an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), popular with walkers. Bedrooms are light and fresh, with modern bathrooms but it's the food, served in a dining room sparkling with silver cutlery and crystal lights, that remains the highlight.”
