Best gastro pubs with rooms in Yorkshire

The Buchanan family’s 16th-century coaching inn offers a warm Yorkshire mix of traditional pub, smart food and modern bedrooms with character.

The Star Inn at Harome, nr Helmsley

Devotees of this thatched village pub-with-rooms and Michelin-starred restaurant will be thrilled when it reopens in autumn following 2021’s disastrous fire; rooms and breakfast, meanwhile, are unaffected.

The Ellerby Country Inn, Whitby

A mile inland from lovely Runswick Bay, in a quiet Yorkshire village on the edge of the North York Moors, this country inn is a beacon of good service, good value and simple comforts.

The Blue Bell, Harrogate

This is a village inn you would like to keep a secret: real ales at the bar, high-quality food and a modern country style that still keeps the pub’s character.

The Fauconberg Arms, Thirsk

With its honey-coloured stonework, tables on the cobbled front terrace and colourful window boxes, you sense this quintessential village inn will have you perched on a bar stool chatting with the locals.

The Sportsman’s Arms, Harrogate

A country lane across a packhorse bridge leads to this fine-looking village inn in classic Dales’ countryside, as popular with diners as with overnight guests.

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 General Tarleton, Ferrensby

Open fires and flag stone floors in spruced-up eating and drinking areas, make this recently refurbished 18th-century coaching inn a welcoming place.

The Alice Hawthorn, York

Off the beaten track, yet only five miles from the A1(M), this smart 18th-century village inn has a reputation for inspired pub food and Scandi-cool rooms.

The Pipe and Glass Inn, South Dalton

In an enchantingly lovely village, this classic coaching inn continues to impress guests with Michelin-starred food, traditional pub features and indulgent bedrooms.

The Carpenters Arms, Thirsk

Overlooking the Vale of York, this deceptively large village inn blends traditional pub features with Scandi-style bedrooms, and classy food with a range of good ales.

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

With views over the Vale of York, this village inn has all the warmth, character and robust food expected of a 300-year old country pub.
