Good stay

Very good stay here, a warm welcome from the host, who went out of his way to help us with a flat tyre. Comfortable room and hearty breakfast. Recommend.

We stayed en route to Guisborough to break the journey up. The landlord actually called us to see if we would want food so they could prepare something before they closed. He was very attentive, friendly and helpful, from that call to the moment we checked out. Breakfast was delicious. Rooms are spacious, clean with everything you’d need. It’s a typical coaching house. Yes - as others have said, it’s out in the sticks, so peaceful and quiet. It’s not five star luxury, but if you’re looking for homely, welcoming & inviting them I’d definitely recommend. It is off the beaten track, however, if you’re looking to explore the area it’s a perfect base for Thirsk, Ripon, Harrogate, York, Sheffield, The Yorkshire Moors and much more.

Beats bland chain hotels by a country mile

Lovely family run pub in very quiet location with rooms and great home made meals. Easy reach of A1M and A19. Very welcoming after long day and very sociable. Brilliant cooked breakfast and lovely to see a community pub so popular with the locals.

Spur of the moment

We were on our way back from a job in Carlisle and was looking for reasonably priced B&B/Hotel for 1 night. Lovely old pub just off the A1, Staff are friendly, the food was great including the breakfast that set us up for the long drive home next day.

A traditional country pub with great service from friendly staff. The room was comfortable and good value for money. If you don’t eat here you will miss out as the food is extremely good, far better than many places on our trip. Will definitely stay again.
