"my wife and I spent two nights here earlier this week and from the arrival to go, we were very well looked after. to stay in rooms that were very welcoming, everything was on the ground at both nights and at the sight of the evening...menu, we decided that we booked a longer break. this, together with the specials board, did not give us a simple decision. both decided to begin garlic mushrooms, my wife chose ribeye with diane sauce and I decided to stripe bark in dijon senf and mushroom sauce with rice, both dishes were error-free and tasty. the next night we ordered both prawn cocktails, with incredibly large portion garnels. we both also ordered porkchops with blue cheese sauce, without doubt, some of the best pigs we've ever tasted! no room for a pudding. the breakfast at both days was just as pleasant. gail who took care of us, and the girl in the kitchen deserves a special mention, many thanks."

Sadly we were very disappointed in the quality of the food we had. I had the pork belly for starter which was very tasteless. I had the fish crumble for my main which again was very tasteless my husband had the pork which was...just a giant slab of pork on his plate.. again tasteless . The chips were nice though

Consistently good food, we met friends for a birthday celebration and, as ever, were not disappointed. Friendly service, great views if you are lucky enough to visit on a sunny day. Outside or inside the staff are welcoming and attentive. Lots of choice for everyone.. but being a fish lover their Haddock and Prawn Crumble is the best! View menu

We visited for lunch on a grey Thursday, and were warmly welcomed. We sat in the garden, listening to the birds and enjoying the views. The ducks in the next field, and a visiting stoat were entertaining! I had the most delicious steak pie ..the meat melted in my mouth, and there was plenty of it. My husband had the pork, which he said was also delicious. The service was prompt and really good even though we were outside the waitresses still checked we had everything we needed. We will definitely be going back again. View menu

we arrived on Friday night and checked in. we were with gertie the schaf in the room, which was well ordered and cozy. when we had babysitting, we had no dinner, but we were back in the time for a quick pint with the host. and a local couple who felt really welcome to us all. bed was very comfortable and I slept really good- first time in a small bed. shower as soon as we worked out how to keep the temperature stable was nice. breakfast buffet and everything was an excellent value for money. thanks for a nice stay. we will definitely return.

We stayed here for one night arriving at lunchtime after a long journey. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our room which was lovely . We popped down to the bar for lunch and a pint which was really nice and reasonably priced ....As we didnt intend to drive anymore that day we asked about local walks and we were delighted to hear there was a footpath behind the pub winding gently up through the dales with stunning views of the whole of Swaledale and lots of sheep ! The pub is in a quaint little hamlet which was very peaceful while we were there. We had our evening meal in the restaurant which we enjoyed very much and ended the night having a few drinks with the hosts and staff back in the...

"We arrived frazzled because we drove around the grounds in the dark not knowing where to go. The signage inside the grounds is no help at all. Allow time for this if you haven't been before. Fortunately we had because we wanted a pre dinner drink in the bar before we ate. Even when we did arrive we weren't sure if we had arrived at the back entrance because we stood for ages with no welcome or acknowledgement. A very disappointing start to our evening. When someone did come they didn't take our coats. We went through to the snug for a drink. They gave us menus and went away. Later came back for our order. We got our drinks and ordered our food. Then very quickly afterwards we were asked to go through to the restaurant. We had only had a couple of sips of our drinks and it was still prior to the time we had actually booked our table for (7.30pm). We felt rushed. The food came and was fabulous. I had the beetroot starter which had beautifully cooked beetroots and some pickles. It also had a grain through it. I couldn't remember what the grain was so asked a member of staff. She didn't know so went away to ask and came back saying it was probably buckwheat....probably! My main was pork belly with parsnip and an apple reduction. The pork could have been cooked a little longer. I think belly needs to be very well cooked until really soft. The top skin was impossible to cut through as it was not crisp, I couldn't eat it. A steak knife would have helped. Having said that it was still a good dish which could have been excellent. We had sides of mashed potato and greens with pickles both superb. The presentation of both dishes was innovative and inviting. Portion size was good too not tiny portions of fiddled with food which I much prefer. The service was not as polished as the food. There was no obvious manager and we had different servers which is never quite as good as one for the entire meal. The servers were scruffy not appropriate for such a lovely building. Overall it was OK but could have been superb with more attention to some details. Service: 2 Location: 3"
