A lovely country pub, with excellent, beautifully cooked food. The hosts are exceptionally helpful and friendly, and couldn’t do enough for us. Very dog friendly - we were able to have our Labrador with us when we ate in the bar. Bedroom quite small, but manageable. Situated in a really beautiful area, and within easy reach of Richmond, which is an interesting, historical town with lots to see and do.

Overnight stay en route to Scotland

Food and service was excellent and very reasonably priced, staff helpful and friendly. Room was comfortable but could be a bit too cosy for anyone of larger build. En suite bathroom was definitely a bit of a squeeze.

Quaint Country Inn

Mark and Lyndsay were excellent hosts. This was my favorite stay in England. The pub is situated in a small community and you could definitely feel that vibe. A local gentleman told us to wake up with the sunrise and it was well worth seeing it come up over the valley with the birds heading out for their day. The food was absolutely delicious (we had the pizza and breakfast the next morning.) I can’t recommend this place enough.

Lovely country retreat

We booked in for one night as we were attending a friends wedding. Lovely welcome as we went in and shown to our room. Had a drink from the bar before the Taxi collected us & took us to the wedding venue. Breakfast was lovely and made to order. Would definitely stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Shoulder of Mutton. The owners couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. We had breakfast every day - fabulous! The room was very clean, albeit quite small. If you have mobility issues, the stairs may be a problem. Otherwise a beautiful, characterful place.
