The property particularly stands out for its dog-friendly accommodations and warm hospitality, making it ideal for families and pet owners alike seeking a countryside retreat; I think the open-plan living areas with log burners create a truly welcoming ambiance after a day exploring Malham Cove and Janet's Foss waterfall. It's a place where traditional Yorkshire charm meets modern comforts.”

excellent stay with great food
secure car park log burner fresh milk quality food
the room in the separate 'barn' had its own private, secure car park. it included a log burner with fresh milk and a coffee station. i found everything nice and clean. the new dinner menu offered varied, top-quality food and the breakfast was the best i've had at a hotel (especially the sausages).
I overheard one of the staff being a bit cold when a guest asked to check in early. She just stated the check-in time without offering any alternatives.

printing error dishonest practice
The lamb roast dinner my parents ordered was overpriced. they charged my mum more than the menu stated. the bar man refused to adjust the price and said it was a printing error. That seemed dishonest to me. i think you should check your bill carefully.
