"We were hesitant to book over a weekend but were assured by the 11pm closing time that it wouldn't be too much of an issue; that wasn't the case. When we checked into the 'cosy country pub' we soon learned that the closing times listed online were not correct. We were told we were to pay when we check out, and were shown up to our room. At first the room seemed fine, if a little warm. First problem, the window didn't open. There was an inner double glazed unit which did open, but an outer sash window which didn't. The space between the two windows was THICK with mould, it clearly hadn't been cleaned in months. We soon discovered that the floor was filthy and the toilet seat was both loose, and clearly didn't fit (potentially dangerous). Despite this, we tried to make the most of it. To be fair the food and drinks we had were decent, can't fault that. Our room must have been directly above one of the speakers, I see other reviews describing a quiet stay but that is NOT our experience. Music was thumping until 12 on the Friday night, and 1:30 on the Saturday night. Not ideal in an already hot and stuffy room. Then came checking out. No staff anywhere, we called the pub, no use. We called the number provided by Expedia. No answer. We tried the emergency contact number provided in the room, who informed us she hasn't worked there for months. After 2 hours we got hold of the manager, who informed us payment is taken automatically when we check out. Honestly, can't recommend."

"It is impossible to overstate the standard of the Wensleydale Heifer. The awards affirm the restaurant quality and the standard of accommodation. What they do not evidence is the attention to detail that every member of staff personifies. This is the first opportunity we have had to stay at the Heifer, although we have eaten here before. The hotel was everything we hoped for and will become our "go to" place in the Dales. Thank you for a memorable stay!"

"We stayed In the Den S/c apartment and it was great for 2 days for 2 of us. Well equipped, clean and modern. On arrival we found a jug of milk in the fridge, tea and coffee and home made cake. The owner popped round to say hello and check we had everything we needed . Excellent stay."
