Cons

The narrow access road has sharp bends and steep gradients, unsuitable for caravans or large vehicles.

“Nestled in a postcard-perfect village with a nearby waterfall, this traditional English pub is a great base for exploring the Yorkshire Dales; the staff are friendly and accommodating. I think it's a very comfortable and clean place to stay, offering fantastic value for money with good, reasonably priced food. For me, this inn provides a charming and convenient experience.”
