Holidaying once again in the area, we returned here the following year, this time with a black lab puppy in tow. And what a great choice we made once again: super welcome and service, tasty and well priced food, good ambience and, naturally, dog friendly. Don't miss the restaurant sign on the left as you walk up the main street through the arch and just a few steps along. Thank you. We are sure to return.

Best Full English I’ve had in years. Great service and good atmosphere. Had some takeaway cakes that were delicious. Will be back to try the rest of the menu

Good food and friendly service, we had lunch and went back for breakfast. There's a very good all day breakfast.

Best scone and tea I had in a 2-day visit to the Dales. Friendly staff, good prices and seems to be a favourite of the locals: a solid choice. Service: 5
