The good pub guide review

This attractive stone inn has been run with great care by the Willoughbys, husband and wife, for decades. The comfortable and warmly welcoming bar has beams, plenty of panelling, some exposed brickwork, local prints and scenes, a large mirror, and a pile of logs beside a big fireplace. The carefully arranged furnishings give the impression of several separate and cosy areas, with seating including elegant, stylishly mismatched upholstered armchairs; background music. Served by impeccably polite staff, the ales on handpump are Timothy Taylors Landlord and two guests, usually from Yorkshire Dales; also, 13 wines by the glass and 11 malt whiskies. The panelled dining room with its white-clothed tables and stripy upholstered chairs is a suitably smart setting for the seriously good food. There's also some seating outside on a fenced-off terrace with fields beyond. The five bedrooms are well equipped and comfortable and the breakfasts are very good. It's a delight to find yourself here after the tedium of the A1.
