"I wish I could have stayed at the WH for more than one night. The warm welcome upon arrival and confirmation of our dining arrangements set the tone for a great stay. The first floor accommodation required some caution when accessing, with a narrow and steep staircase, but assistance was readily available if needed. My room was warm and cosy, located at the rear of the building with plenty of wardrobe and drawer space. The bathroom had a walk-in shower, which better suited my needs, and was spotlessly clean with everything in working order. The restaurant was busy on the Bank Holiday Monday evening, but the service was excellent and the quality and presentation of the dishes were exceptional. Breakfast offered a wide selection of dishes to accommodate different tastes, from Continental to a Full on Yorkshire breakfast. The staff were helpful, efficient, and not intrusive. Checking out was simple, but leaving so soon for a long journey home was a shame. I hope to return for a longer stay if the opportunity arises."

We had a wonderful stay at the Heifer Hideaway. The food at the Heifer is consistently excellent, thanks to head chef Craig and his team. I have no complaints about the Wensleydale Heifer and would highly recommend it. Five stars all around. View menu

Recently stayed over at the Wensleydale Heifer loved it. Firstly, all the staff were lovely, friendly couldn't do enough for you. The evening meal was fantastic, particularly the seafood pancake the breakfast was great too. We stayed in the Chocolate room which has as much chocolate as you can eat which suited my wife! ...all round great time highly recommend

We went to the Wensleydale Heifer for dinner 4 years ago and the fish pancake was amazing. Managed to go back today, this time with our dog, my mother in law and our 14 month old daughter. I had the fish pie pancake again and it was as delicious as always. Everyone was really welcoming to both the dog and our toddler and didn’t mind her wandering around. Fabulous place

We had the most delightful birthday lunch today. Our table had been set with a balloon, birthday card and notebook how lovely. The food was amazing, so much choice including gluten free options and the service was so special. The food packed an amazing taste punch and was presented beautifully...we were so full we skipped the fabulous looking puddings, but have resolved to return for Round II !!! Thank you. View menu

We enjoyed a wonderful, tasty meal at the Wensleydale Heifer for my Dad’s birthday. From the moment we arrived and throughout the meal the staff were friendly, welcoming accommodating overhearing that it was Dad’s birthday and bringing out a birthday balloon, card and a little present! The food was lovely with a good mixture of options to suit the vegetarian in our party and the remaining meat eaters. Everything was wonderful and I am grateful to the staff for the excellent customer service and for going above and beyond to make my Dad’s day feel special thank you so much!

Stayed just one night, en route from a trip North. The staff were really lovely. Dinner was amazing, starting with Oysters and the most amazing steaks. No room for dessert this time but they looked really good. The room was very clean, the bathroom and amenities were excellent. We stayed in the Hiefer room which had a starlight ceiling which we kept on all night. The breakfast was really good. All in all, this was the first but most definitely not the last time we will stay here. We're already planning the next excuse to travel up. A must stay or evening meal in the Dales. Beautiful.

"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"
