Contemporary flair and classic English cuisine mix at this restaurant-with-rooms on the cobbled square of a Dales village. It is owned by chef/patron John Rudden and his wife, Sue. The Grade II listed Georgian house has many glamorous touches: cascading chandeliers, bold brass sculptures, ornate fireplaces. Some of the individually decorated bedrooms have a balcony or window seat; all are provided with Fairtrade tea and coffee, home-made flapjacks, waffle bathrobes, organic toiletries. Sit in the smart restaurant and fireside bar for ‘enjoyable’ dinners using much locally sourced produce; in fine weather, go alfresco and dine on the terrace. The hosts’ rare-breed pigs provide the restaurant with bacon, sausages and plenty of crackling. ‘We were pleased with it in every way.’
