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!

Stayed here for the first time 14 March oh my what a treat. We stayed in the James Herriot room and it’s the little details such as a piece of cake a glass of port and the accessories were in keeping with the great man himself all very well thought out. We dined that evening and we were not disappointed the food was exceptional and well executed. A warm and welcoming experience by staff who were so friendly!

A great one night stop

Lovely boutique hotel and gastro pub with plenty of parking. Very friendly staff throughout. Choice of themed rooms, each seemed to have their own unique features. The dinner and breakfast the next day were excellent. Highly recommended.

The themed rooms are a must, we stayed in the chocolate room and were spoilt with treats. We were celebrating a birthday and the birthday boy was given a balloon, beer and card, to make the event more special. The staff were friendly. The tasting menu was delicious and substantial. The breakfast was a must and worth staying over for. The little extra, the home made granola, yoghurt with fruit compote were an unexpected delight. We left with a homemade chilli jam.

Top quality with a family-friendly feel

We had a superb time at our recent family reunion - the staff were welcoming and really friendly, the accommodation was very comfortable with a few extra touches that made the stay memorable, and the food was excellent - both the evening meal and the breakfast. Highly recommended and will be returning for sure!

Outstanding Gem in the Dales

Having read all the reviews my friend and I were so excited to be staying for two nights. We thought we would try somewhere different to our favorite place at Bolton Abbey and went with high expectations. Absolutely top class in EVERY respect. Outstanding friendly, helpful, but also kind staff, a real team feel and a team who are clearly happy and proud to work there. Great to have air con in the dining room and also to have options to sit out in the fantastic weather to eat and drink. Excellent food - extensive menu catering for all tastes. Wish we could have stayed longer. I had the James Bond room which was tasteful and good humored. So many little touches - having never met Alexa before having her in my room was a great way to try it out. Brilliant to find another outstanding hotel in the beautiful Dales. I then traveled on for a night at another alleged 'excellent' place but was very disappointed - they could learn a lot from the WH!

1 night stay in Chocolate Room

We stayed in the Chocolate Room which was very comfortable but the cleaning in the bathroom wasn't great and had to ask for the toilet roll which had been placed on top of a dirty toilet brush to be removed together with the offending toilet brush.

Dinner good in the restaurant but portions are huge. Maybe better to reduce portion sizes and prices a bit? Disappointing that the local Wensleydale Cheese does not feature in the menu or, very surprisingly, on the cheese board.

Breakfast was a very high standard.

A LOVELY LITTLE FIND

It was a really good stay. The staff and condition of the hotel was excellent and the food was very good. Our only down side was that our room (and presumably most of the rooms) was over the kitchen/restaurant and the continuous noise of the door slamming from restaurant to kitchen was really annoying after a while.
