Excellent food and drinks, very welcoming

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.

A welcoming, relaxing stay

Welcoming and comfortable stay. We enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Golden Lion. A very friendly and well run place. The staff worked hard to ensure we and our dog had a fantastic break. The food was excellent and the room had all we could want.

Fantastic place to stay in a really lovely town

Really clean and nice place to stay. Great food and a nice friendly atmosphere in the pub. My friend & I were doing the 3 peaks challenge the next morning and the hotel made arrangements for breakfast to be left out early for us so we could have something before we left.
