Kathryn

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Staff were very pleasant, friendly and exceptionally helpful. The decor in the room was beautiful and it was very clean with plenty of tea making facilities including ‘proper’ mugs and a teapot with tea cosy which was a lovely extra. However the room was very, very small and it did not have any drawers or wardrobe to store clothes (there was a small rail in the corner with four hangers to hang a few items). The en-suite was also very small but it was supplied with lovely White Company toiletries. The cooked breakfast was beautiful and piping hot. There were also lots of other hot food options as well as cereals, yoghurts, breads. All in all a lovely place to stay, with fantastic staff and when I return I will ask for a larger room.

Short stay for a local wedding

The room was lovely, bathroom wasn’t as clean as it could’ve been and the hot water at the sink was dangerously hot. The shower was great though, really powerful. The bed was comfortable and we both slept really well. The breakfast was nice but small portions for the full English. I think the jars of jam etc are a bit of a waste, maybe some smaller tubs might be better. All the staff were amazing, friendly and good service.

We stayed at the Golden Lion with friends as we were walking the 3 peaks on the Friday, we both stayed in a classic room, the rooms were lovely, comfy bed, hair dryer, shampoo and conditioner, tea and coffee and bottled water, don't forget to ask for milk before bed. We ate in the restaurant both nights, the food was lovely and we had great service. We had asked for breakfast the morning of our walk as we had to leave at half 6, unfortunately they forgot to leave out any bread or bowls for cereal, which was a bit disappointing. We had the full breakfast on the Saturday morning which was delicious and again the service was great. Would definitely recommend

Lovely hotel with great rooms, good selection of coffees teas and local fudge. Fresh milk provided to take to your room. Great range of beds, bowls and treats for dogs too. Meals were excellent and the staff, Sarah and Rob (and the others too) went above and beyond to make us all feel welcome and sort gluten free information for one of our party. Will definitely go back.

Log fire luxury for Settle to Carlisle.

This is an excellent and very accommodating, comfortable hotel that is perfectly placed for rail travellers on the world famous Settle to Carlisle Railway. Our room was comfortable, warm and the beds were better than home. Great breakfast, reasonably priced ale, log fires topped up! No complaints.
