“A gloriously situated coaching inn, on the Pennine Way, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Pretty rooms with soft hues and lovely views. Unwind in the buzzy bar with dogs, fires and home cooking. The perfect base for walkers and those looking for some peace and tranquility.”

Hotel review

The Pennine way cuts through this pretty village in the heart of the Dales; walks shoot off in all directions. This handsome, warm-hearted 17th century coaching inn over looks the village green and a babbling brook. The bar is bustling with locals, families and walkers plus numerous dogs, enjoying a log-burning stove. Nine comfortable and unfussy bedrooms come with plasma TVs. Chef patron Terry and his partner Kirsty produce hearty breakfasts; picnics for walkers and good, home-cooked pub grub, the ingredients are naturally locally sourced.

The bar area is welcoming and cosy, while the restaurant area is a series of little nooks, with original fireplaces, wooden floors and beams.
