Great place to stay

Great pub in a lovely location with fantastic views from the garden. The rooms were very large, as were the beds (which were really comfy). The room had everything you’d need. The staff were great and friendly, and helped out getting a taxi. The food at the pub is great, and the beer is kept exceptionally well. A great place to stay and only a 2 mile walk into Masham. The owners old WW2 vehicles in the car park are very interesting too.

Arrive a little before 3.00pm , 2.15pm, no parking in front due to Construction activity. No access into building prior to 3.00pm -door locked and sign hanging on door saying "Gone to Pub" . Place was a building site and about 15miles from Ripon !!

Great hotel, fabulous location

We stayed for just one night in the Luxury Double with Jacuzzi Bathroom. The room was very big and comfortable. The Jacuzzi bath was a bit snug. The food was very good and the breakfast was excellent. Be warned that the "internet price" doesn't include breakfast. The views from the room were stunning, if you ignored the small caravan site. Some of the reviews I have seen have said that the caravan site, which is part of the hotel, was noisy. We were there mid week out of school holidays, so hardly noticed it.

Masham Visit

Room was really nice, location was about 2 miles from Masham so we got a Taxi back on the night, only £7. Nice location for walking and visiting the countryside. Did not eat in the pub but called in for a pint which was ok.
