"My partner and I during the Christmas period decided to take a trip across the Yorkshire Dales into the Wensleydale area and Aysgarth. We thought it be a good idea to seek something out to eat whilst we were at it. We found Yorebridge House and was interested by it's tasting menu and 3 AA rosette designation. The restaurant/hotel is located in a very quiet village called Bainbridge deep within the Dales. It is quite a drive to get there but it was ultimately worth it and one of the nicest meals we have both had in 2023. Upon arrival we were met with very friendly staff and an absolutely beautiful venue. The colour choices, furniture and decor worked together to create a modern feel in an old building. Hidden alcoves revealed larger rooms and it was actually fun to look around to see what each room looked like. We were sat in the bar for a drink and the initial welcome canapes. The cocktails were great and canapé of beetroot jelly and tapioca were lovely. We were then seated in the main restaurant and began a culinary journey of six wonderful courses. The beef tea was fantastic, we didn't really know what to expect but it burst with flavour and was something I could easily drink a gallon of. The house bread was baked to absolute perfection and paired with the most incredible beef butter. Of all the restaurants I have eaten at with bread and butter courses, this sits at the top of the ladder. The first court of cured trout was complimented with a lovely watercress emulsion and a nice choice of caviar. The fish was meaty and flavoursome and was a great start. The pigeon course was unbelievably good with a lovely barbecued taste and very soft texture. It was cooked beautifully. We were served an interesting scallop course with hazelnuts and a lovely sauce. Scallops in these settings often tend to be raw so it was a welcome change. The venison was the nicest I have had with a wonderful beetroot puree. The desserts were great concluding with a lovely chocolatey mouse/tort paired with homemade ice creams. We of course ended with coffees (to help with the long drive home) and were treat to beautiful petit four of white chocolate and cardoman fudge. This was deep, flavoursome and out of this world. We also had a cross between a jelly sweet and Turkish delight with an intense bergamot flavour. Yorebridge House did an awful lot right from the friendly staff, beautiful venue and excellent food. I would only say that when the venison course was delivered, my partner was in the toilet and rather than bring it out upon her return, the plate was put on the table waiting for her return. I wouldn't have served dishes without everyone being present at the table. It is clear that Yorebridge aspires to obtain a Michelin Star and I don't doubt that it is possible. The food is very good and very fresh and well cooked and although we didn't spend the night in the rooms, judging from what we had seen that would likely have been excellent too. I think the only thing against it for a star is the location, I don't think the Michelin inspectors have the drive to go so far for it which is a shame! It was an overall very enjoyable night. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to the restaurant and would gladly consider spending a night there. The only thing stopping a quick return is the distance."

We had a wonderful dining experience at this fine dining restaurant with a beautiful view of the dales. The service was friendly and efficient, and the food was delicious. We will definitely be returning in the future.

The food at this restaurant is outstanding and the service is friendly and professional. The only downside is the desserts, which were slightly disappointing. The restaurant should consider hiring a skilled pastry chef if they want to achieve a Michelin star.

Situated in the center of the Dales with plenty of nearby walking trails, this accommodation was top-notch. We stayed in the Jasper room with our furry friend and found ample space for all of us. The full English breakfast served was outstanding. The staff were exceptional and truly made our stay wonderful.

Can only say something about the food. It was a bit messy at the beginning. I don't think they often have guests who don't sleep at the hotel or have made a reservation. But in the end we got a nice table. Opted for the all la carte menu. All the dishes chosen were all very tasty. Highly recommended if you want something extra in the Dales

The hotel was wonderful staff very were friendly the food was out of this world small portions but we knew that the only thing that let it down was the mattress it was old and very soft it also had what appeared to be a big blood stain on it let management know when we got home .I didn't tell my wife at the time because she wouldn't have stayed there .manager replied saying I was the only person to complain about the bed being soft and heavily soiled but they would look into it .they didn't bother to get in touch with me to apologise for the blood on the mattress

I had visited Yorebridge pre-COVID and really enjoyed the experience. As it was a significant birthday for me I decided to visit again to celebrate with my wife. The hotel is nicely located within the Yorkshire Dales and is a good size for a boutique hotel experience being a dozen rooms and therefore not overcrowded. I had great attention from the staff who were all very friendly and courteous. The atmosphere of the hotel is very conducive to a special night away which is helped by its location next to the river with extensive grounds. The room was located in the old School House and was spacious with all the accoutrements you would expect. This was separate from the main hotel which was for...
