The Sportsman - Harrogate

Always fabulous and generous. We went for lunch with some old friends and indulged in delicious food and a laid-back atmosphere. Perfect in every way.

Had a fabulous 2 night stay in a deluxe room, which was lovely. During our stay we enjoyed 2 leisurely lunches, 2 excellent evening meals and 2 very nice breakfasts. The staff are all amazing and the chefs are very talented. The icing on the cake for us was being able to sample grouse for dinner on our first evening! It was exquisite and we can now tick that box on our 'bucket list '. Thank you so much. We will definitely be back in the future.

Excellent lunch in every respect. Beautiful pub inside and outside, in a stunning area. Top class menu for a Sunday lunch with the usual offerings plus fantastically cooked local game dishes, which really should be tried. Very positive and friendly staff. We loved it and will be back many times I am sure! Perfect area for a walk before or afterwards of course.

I absolutely loved this restaurant. A friend who lives nearby highly recommended it and I am so glad I listened to their advice. The staff at the bar were charming and helpful, even insisting on bringing our drinks out to us in the beautiful gardens when I could have easily carried them myself. It was delightful to sit outside in the sunshine, chatting with other diners. We had been on a long walk that day and were simply looking to relax and enjoy a good meal, which we definitely got. The food was excellent and we devoured everything on our plates. My youngest daughters, who are in their 20s and follow a vegetarian and pescatarian diet, also thoroughly enjoyed their meals. The wine selection was great and we never felt rushed or had to wait long for anything. The whole experience was just perfect. After our meal, we took a lovely walk back along the river footpath to Pateley. The entire area is amazing, so we will definitely be returning and are already looking forward to dining here again.

What a gem this place is! We enjoyed a nights stay with an evening meal and breakfast. The staff were very welcoming, helpful and attentive from the moment we arrived! The food was delicious. The room was cozy and had everything we needed. There was something special about this place, it had such a good feel about it and was very relaxing. Thank you everyone for a lovely stay!
