We stayed for one night, June 2025, I wish it had been longer! From start to finish, everything about our stay was lovely. Picturesque building in a beautiful setting. Plenty of room in the private car-park. The staff could not have been friendlier. We ate an evening meal in the pub and it was really lovely. Plenty of choice on the menu, reasonably priced and the food was excellent. Our room was spacious and looked as if it had been recently decorated. Comfortable bed, well-appointed bathroom, plenty of amenities. All you would expect from a really good hotel, let alone a country pub. Breakfast was lovely - well cooked, beautifully presented and ample quantities. I can't recommend The Wheatsheaf highly enough! Thank you!

Ingleton stay

Overall a good stay, free parking. Great staff, friendly, helpful and informative. Nice cosy warm large room with all facilities you would expect and a few extras (biscuits, water) Includes breakfast which made costs reasonable. Restaurant was excellent, food high quality, again reasonable price.

My wife, daughter and I stayed at The Wheatsheaf combining a work trip with some family time. We felt very well looked after at The Wheatsheaf; the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was a really good size for the three for us and we were all very comfortable. It is also a fantastic location for exploring the Yorkshire Dales and Lakes, with the beautiful Ingleton waterfall trail right on the doorstep. Thank you to the team! We hope we get to come back!

Loved our stay - we’ll be back

We stopped off at the Wheatsheaf after a very long day of driving. We were cutting it fine to get there in time for dinner but I phoned ahead and let them know we were coming. We arrived 5 minutes before last food order but we were made to feel really welcome and weren’t rushed at all. We had an excellent dinner before we even checked in! The staff were friendly and welcoming. I adjourned to the cosy bar area after dinner for a drink while reading my book. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty and these days it feels like a bonus that it’s included in the room rate. We had intended to go up Whernside before heading home to Scotland but the weather was appalling so we’ll just have to come back!

Staff are friendly, can be a bit noisy until the pub closes, yes I know it's a pub lol. Parking can be very busy at times, breakfast I great. Room was kept clean but no attention to detail for example nobody replenished the shower wash in 5 days of cleaning

Very loud

Food was good. Staff were very pleasant. Stayed in a family room, unfortunately there was a band on that were playing directly under our room from 9-10:30pm so it was ridiculously loud and therefore not family friendly. Room was ok but I feel very overpriced
