We were underwhelmed by our stay here. I thought that with all the wonderful reviews that the food and accommodation would be nicer then it was. We were in a room on the bottom floor, and you could hear the patrons conversations and footsteps late into the night and first thing in the morning. The food was average too, as was the service. The grounds are stunning though, and give you a great feel for the beautiful Yorkshire Moors.

Laid-back, but with attention to detail.
We always love staying here, the room, the outlook, the food, the beers, the staff all get a tick for us. there are many things to get right in running an establishment like this- always updating and improving year on year, they do a great job in all departments. Thanks for a nice stay again.
