Guest Room
“ A cosy but cool Yorkshire Dales hideaway, overlooking rugged moors and green space as far as the eye can see. Inside, guests can relax in farmhouse comfort with splashes of Nordic influence, and indulge in London-style fine dining without the hustle and bustle of the city. A true country escape.”

Hotel review

A historic 15th-century stone inn-turned-gastro pub in the heart of Yorkshire, offering an elevated yet personal and warm take on the Dales experience. 

Michelin chef Michael Wignall heads the culinary team, which serves a creative blend of British fine dining with Japanese influences. Indulge in a six- or 10-course tasting menu (you'll leave comfortably full whichever you choose), where standouts include North Sea cod and hispi cabbage and Landes quail, parsnip, miso and boudin blanc. Wash each dish down with a wine pairing, expertly — and genuinely interestingly — explained by a member of the waiting staff. Nothing beats humble Yorkshire charm.

Scandi-inspired interior touches blend with traditional Dales stone, both in the restaurant and the 16 rooms and suites, split between the main inn and nearby Fell View barn just over the road. Think rustic roaring fires juxtaposed against polished concrete floors and bespoke oak tables that feel like an extension of the wild, northern landscape.

If you can peel yourself from your feathered queen-size bed, a thoughtfully placed map of nearby walks showcases the best of the Yorkshire Dales. 

Sophie's Top Tip: If you’re looking for the perfect Dales walk, take the Grassington to Hebden circular route, a scenic four-mile walk in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, which takes roughly 1.5 to 2.5 hours to complete. The perfect way to stretch your legs after an evening of foodie indulgence!
