Over the years, had visited several times for coffees, teas, sandwich lunches. This time we came for Sunday roast (beef & Yorkshire). Very much enjoyed ourselves - good quality beef, very reasonable pricing, pleasant service, classic ambiance, plus a nice drop of Black Sheep (I think it was). Will certainly return for another roast. Would have preferred roast vegetables to boiled, but the latter proved perfectly acceptable.

so disappointing it was just not good. ive been before about 8 months ago and it was good hence i went again. the staff and dining room above average but the plates cold the pork was micro thin slices looked like plastic the veg just plonked on plate no separate dishes to choose from the veg was red cabbage and carrot and parsnip cubed very basic. dessert was good well i had room to eat a dessert cos the mains was so poor. ive been in the week in the bar meals fish and chips was excellent. we commented on the meals but were half way thru entertaining and without prompting they refunded one main course but i had invited friends and really bulled it up so was really disappointing.
We live fairly locally, and set off for lunch in another local village, only to find it closed in spite of information to the contrary on their website. Hit upon the Worsley Arms in the next village along, and found a wonderfully warm welcome: blazing fire, nice lunch menu, friendly service, good quality food at reasonable prices. This will be our intended destination in future. (Dog friendly too, we don't have one but two of our fellow diners did.)
I think it would have been rather grand when it was built in 1840. Family run, the manager Sally is a wonderful. Seems to do everything in the hotel. How she finds the energy is a mystery.
High ceilings, broad staircases, and corridors. Plenty of parking around the back. If you're a light sleeper, ask for a room away from the roadside.
The internet worked slowly in the bathroom, not at all in the bedroom. Your teenagers may start a revolution! Telephone and data signal strength in the village is hardly their fault. Bring your book. Strong Wifi downstairs around reception, breakfast, and sitting room for planning your day.
Clean and recently decorated, I liked the soft bed. Plug sockets? I've got a 2 metre phone charger cable.
The bar serves draught beer in great condition - the cellar man knows what he's doing. This is not a cocktail bar; wine list is adequate and appropriate.
A pair of you might exhaust the dinner menu in a couple of days, and the breakfast is exactly what you'd expect - good. They have 'real' kippers, not the factory stuff, if that's your thing.
Financially, I've no idea how it keeps going, but that's not my problem … nor yours. A three star hotel at three star prices, no need to get sniffy about it looking a bit 'vin ordinaire'. This is a farming community in North Yorkshire, not Mayfair.
We enjoyed staying here. I think it's the kindness that suffused the place.
Warm, dry, with access to food and water, it's great from a survival point of view.
We have visited this country hotel on numerous occasions over the last twenty years.
We have just returned home from another two night stay. The hotel is steeped in history and full of character.
The room allocated to us was across the road from the main hotel building which wasn’t a problem. It was comfortable and quiet.
The breakfasts were cooked to order and were of excellent quality and in a lovely setting. We had one evening meal and this was both reasonably priced and delicious.
One of the best points of the hotel is the comfortable lounge areas in the hotel away from the bar and restaurant.
Finally I would like to commend Tony and Sally and staff for the energy and effort that they they put into running the hotel. We look forward to our next visit.
Had a very pleasant three night stay at this hotel. It is located in an attractive village that is within easy reach of some great attractions. The hotel’s public rooms were welcoming and spacious. The staff were helpful and pleasant with it. The breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. The three evening meals we had were also very good (although the salmon dish was rather spoilt by a cold plate and an indifferent sauce). Our bedroom was well equipped. The bed was comfortable and the central heating did its job. The bedroom and bathroom are both a little ‘tired’ and could do with a makeover, but that would take some investment. Overall the package we had was very good value for money. We hope we can go back.
