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.

A lovely break (3 nights) was enjoyed here, Host was great informing us of all we needed to know. I liked the idea of choosing what breakfast option you wanted, even if that meant deciding the night before. Typical Pub arrangement where a number of steps were encountered and therefore not for the immobile i would suggest. Good value.

Lovely old village inn
Very friendly and welcoming. Great home cooked food both dinner and breakfast. Good size room and comfy bed. Proper old village pub. Very creaky floors! Could do with a little up-dating but a lovely place to stay.

Only spent 1 night here, lovely beer garden at back of pub, full of flowers. Olde worlde pub, quaint. We stayed for our evening meal , I had the fish pie with veg, and my husband had the steak pie and chips, which were delicious. You have to go to the bar for your drinks. Everyone was very friendly. Happy with our room, as it was hot there was a fan to use. Bed a bit soft for us. Maybe take a torch for during the night as it was very dark! We stayed for breakfast, £10 each for full English with orange juice, tea or coffee and toast and jam. Very good value, would recommend.

Quiet location and remote, had trouble getting taxis in and out of Thursk. Chris was so helpful with taxi numbers. He was a hive of information all round. The Hotel rooms were lovely and clean but a bit dated, but that wouldn’t stop me from returning. The food here is exceptional, from a full English to the evening meal. Although this is a pub, please be aware that it doesn’t open till 5pm and that’s every day. Besides that it was a lovely stay. Very small and friendly village. Thank you Chris & Bev.
