A great atmosphere at the Tan Hill, a good crowd was in on the night that we visited. The dinner was very good and the breakfast excellent. Our room was great with a good view out over the moors. If we're ever up that way we'll definitely stay again.

Terribly slow service. Cold food, huge wait times. Staff are lovely but organisation is poor and they are overwhelmed by the volume of people. Strange situation with every food order and drink order, regardless of you’re sat at a booked table or not, having to go through the bar where there is always a very long wait.
