Very Enjoyable Stay.

lovely place with very comfortable and tastefully decorated rooms. Nice touches such as fresh milk in the room every day. Restaurant served very nice food - not cheap, but very nice. We all like romantic dinners with soft lighting, but one of the nights the lights were so dim, we could not identify some the food on the plate without tasting it. After that we picked our own table with better lighting :)

Perfect location, quiet and friendly.

Everything about our stay start to finish was excellent. Friendly staff, lovely room. Great food. Was worried it may be noisy over a pub, but it wasn't. Chose here as it was only 15 minutes drive to the Emmerdale set, where we were booked. Ideal. Also walking around the village and saw the manor house ruins was a nice surprise. Recommend travelling to Brimham rocks for a day as stunning.

Great stay

The room was decorated really well and decent size. Very clean and bed comfortable. Shower had good pressure, so not like the normal ones where it just drips out. Plenty of parking spaces.

Beautiful hotel with lovely facilities. Room was lovely and really comfortable. We were on the front of the hotel so it was a little noisy being right by the road. But other then that, it was great. Very welcoming staff to.
