A lovely place to eat and stay
A lovely pub with fab rooms. Stayed in one of the lodge rooms which were gorgeous! All mod cons, clean, well-presented and a great bonus of a balcony. Had our evening meal in the pub which was delicious! Highly recommend the bbq platter.

Very nice two night stay
Stayed for two nights. All the staff were wonderful. Excellent Sunday roast and breakfast buffet. Room was a little small but had everything we needed and was very clean. I’d recommend trips to nearby Brimham Rocks, Fountains Abbey and Ripon.

Fantastic experience and will be back
Comfortable bedroom and so good for dogs. The area, the surroundings, the treatment from staff, all excellent. The food was surprisingly incredible (venison was to die for) and I’d go back there just for it. My dog got a sausage for breakfast which was a genuinely kind gesture. 10/10. Lovely area to walk around with cute farm animals next door.

We stayed here whilst we visited the Great Yorkshire Show. Ideal for travelling to and from the show. Staff were at the Inn were not only friendly but very helpful. We had a toddler with us and having an outside space was ideal for us all
Staff are a credit to the owners and we would definately stay again

Anyone looking for a short stay, or base for visiting Fountains Abbey or other local attractions should consider the Inn. The property is clean bright and feels new. The room we stayed in was small but beautifully finished and set out. All the meals were really good, Haddock was huge and the Steak pie delicious. Staff friendly and helpful. All so good.
