This is a friendly pub very convenient for the A1 with excellent staff and lovely food. The bathroom was new, spacious and comfortable. It's a bit noisy outside due to the location but this is outweighed by the staff who can't do enough for you!

Really nice comfortable pub/ resteraunt.
Staff were efficient, friendly and helpful, good selection of tasty food and drinks served in a very relaxing atmosphere. Luxury double room didn't dissapoint.
Finding good accommodation on a budget is not easy in this part of Yorkshire.
