Great location and comparatively cheap compared with other accommodation in the area. Service was prompt with a smile. However if you are a light sleeper it's not great as you can hear everything from down stairs, rooms adjacent and outside so bring earplugs!

Visited here last weekend and had a great stay. It is a typical Dales Hotel. We stayed in room 4 with our dog who even got her own welcome pack on arrival. The room was huge and spotlessly clean. …

If you love historical haunted pubs then you must go to the Black Swan! Steeped in history and retains a lot of old decor and furniture. We never ate here but the pint was good 🙂
