Good Hotel Guide Review

The sun and moon make their haste, but this 400-year-old inn near the River Lune remains a dependably restful spot for locals, travellers, hikers and their dogs. Iain and Jenny Black maintain a ‘friendly atmosphere’. The bar is popular for its real ales and log fires; wonky beams add to the ambience. Well-regarded modern country cooking features in the restaurant (dogs can also look forward to a treat after long walkies on the fells). Country-style bedrooms have a comfortable Cumbrian-made bed, Swaledale wool carpets, a host of extras: fresh milk, local biscuits, bottled water. Come morning, a tasty breakfast of home-made granola, pastries, fresh and poached fruit on the buffet.

Guest comments

'A lovely bedroom. Not too many cushions to remove. Dinner was imaginative and good; staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast buffet was generous. Despite the church clock chiming throughout the night we would stay again. ' - Sara Price - May, 2019
'One of my favourite places to stay. The surrounding area is beautiful. My room, on the second floor, had exposed beams and fine furniture. The en-suite bathroom was modern and well equipped. Dinner was very good. Puddings were light and scrumptious, and service was faultless. Breakfasts were superb: butter and preserves free of irritating packaging;. Presentation is top-notch in all departments: the friendly staff, the napery and cutlery, the most attractive bar, the cleanliness and comfort throughout, the ambience and, of course, the food. ' - Trevor Lockwood - August, 2013
'A beautifully appointed,well-run small hotel with good food. The beds were comfortable and the rooms well thought out. Room 7 looks over the church and is very special. Delicious breakfast. At dinner a good choice of main courses; sensible wine list. Staff excellent throughout. Owners Lucy and Mark Fuller were part of the team who looked after us. Only hazard is the parking. ' - Humphrey Norrington - November, 2011
