The Rose & Crown - 'Summer Escape' Special Offer

Barnard Castle

A chorus of acclaim this year for Cheryl and Thomas Robinson’s 18th-century coaching inn turned village pub par excellence. The quality of local ingredients shines in David Hunter’s seriously great grub. Rooms are splendidly non-chintzy.

More best gastro pubs with rooms in North East

The White Swan, Pickering

Traditional pub features of local ales in a fire-warmed snug are mixed with a smarter dining room with candlesticks and polished tables at the Buchanan family’s 16th-century coaching inn.

The Star Inn at Harome, Helmsley

Devotees of this thatched village pub-with-rooms with its Michelin-starred cooking and quirky style will be thrilled when it fully re-opens in autumn following 2021’s disastrous fire; rooms and breakfast, meanwhile, are unaffected.

The Ellerby Country Inn, Whitby

In a quiet Yorkshire village, a mile from lovely Runswick Bay and on the edge of the North York Moors, this country inn is a beacon of good service, and is great value, too.

The Blue Bell, Harrogate

Real ales in the bar, a handful of smart rooms and a deserved reputation for its food make this ‘excellent-value’ village inn ‘a great stop-over near Harrogate’.

The Fauconberg Arms, Thirsk

On the edge of the North York Moors, this quintessential village inn in tranquil Coxwold has locals and dogs in the bar, country fare in the dining room and fuss-free bedrooms above.

The Blue Lion, Leyburn

Log fires and settles downstairs, country-style bedrooms up: in this ‘sophisticated’ 18th-century inn, Paul and Helen Klein offer an ‘utterly authentic’ slice of rural Wensleydale hospitality.

The Red Lion Inn, Alnmouth

Watch the sun go down over the Aln estuary from the sheltered garden of this traditional 18th-century coaching inn, which stands opposite the parish church in a pretty village.

The Alice Hawthorn, York

On the green of a peaceful village at the confluence of the rivers Nidd and Ouse, this smartly revamped Grade II-listed country pub is one visitors make detours for.

The Lord Crewe Arms, Blanchland

In a postcard-perfect village of honey-stone cottages with a sparkling river, this historic building blends atmosphere with 21st-century comforts and robust food.

The Angel Inn, Skipton

In a quiet corner of the Yorkshire Dales, this creeper-covered 15th-century inn spoils guests with Michelin-starred food, luxurious but understated bedrooms and a relaxed vibe.

The Pipe and Glass Inn, South Dalton

The winning formula of Michelin-starred food plus spoiling bedrooms in James and Kate Mackenzie's classic coaching inn prompted one fan to make a 60-mile detour to spend the night there.

The Carpenters Arms, Thirsk

A successful blend of the traditional and the modern can be found at this smart village inn, with views over the Vale of York, chalet-style bedrooms, and classy food.

The Three Acres Inn & Restaurant, Huddersfield

There are ‘tremendous views to all sides’ from this ‘friendly’ roadside drovers’ inn in Pennine countryside, but diners may find their attention drawn, instead, to the ‘detour-worthy food’ served within.

Shibden Mill Inn, Halifax

In the wooded Shibden valley, this wisteria-covered 17th-century inn stands near Red Beck, the stream that powered the corn and spinning mill that once stood here.

The Durham Ox, Crayke

In a hilltop village along an ancient Celtic trail to York, this ‘friendly’, personably run pub-with-rooms has hosted visitors for centuries.
