An awesome unique and lovely place to stay.
The food, service and room were great.
Lots of history and busy which understandably makes it a huge task trying to keep up with the cleaning of the walkways and stairs.
An awesome experience so thanks to all x

The bedroom has a very comfy bed with lovely views.
The restaurant wasn’t so good, tables were sticky and not clean at all. Breakfast was chaos, bread wasn’t there had to ask for it to be stocked up. There were no plates for toast, the only ones we saw were all dirty.
The waiter didn’t know what muesli was.

After a very tiring walk across the moors. the Tan Hill offered a very welcoming sight. Even better was the ambience inside, with a very welcoming and helpful host. The bedroom was tastefully decorated with a massive bed and lovely shower room. Needing a hearty meal the 3 of us were delighted with melt in the mouth cooked to perfection steak and chicken pies and a giant Yorkshire boeuf bourgignon. We will be back !

The accommodation was lovely although a little tired in places. We stayed in a Geo Dome (D2) and although the weather was not ideal due to Storm Dave the room was warm and comfy. I slept well enough and toilet not far from the dome so no real issues.
The thing that let the place down was the service in the pub/restaurant. We had a table booked for 8pm, turned up ten minutes early ordered just after 8 and at 9:10pm we had to ask if we had been forgotten about! We had but the chef reopened the kitchen and cooked for us and eventually got our meal at 9:30ish. A little too late for me but my husband said his food was delicious - Giant Yorkie and a leg of lamb he said was cooked to perfection.
Breakfast again this morning was extremely slow and once again we had been forgotten about. All things which can be helped never mind how busy it was. It was heaving last night. Atmosphere made up for it.

A lovely old world pub, the highest in Britain.
Lovely ambience, cosy bar areas and nice rooms. Just a few scruffy areas like the carpet going up to the accommodation and the ceiling and floor of the bathroom sliding door area. However it is understandable with being a busy pub with people with work boots and walking boots constantly in and out.
The food was good, with lots of choice and well cooked.
We had a slight blip checking in but it was sorted out quickly and efficiently.
Overall a lovely stay in an iconic pub with a great atmosphere.

Terribly slow service. Cold food, huge wait times. Staff are lovely but organisation is poor and they are overwhelmed by the volume of people. Strange situation with every food order and drink order, regardless of you’re sat at a booked table or not, having to go through the bar where there is always a very long wait.

very unique property with lots of character. the double room was miniscule however and very small indeed. despite the claims on their website of a dog friendly room where a bed, water bowl and snacks would be provided none of this was and instead i got one bag of gravy bones left outside the door for the second night which i suppose was something.

Dome tent nice but shared, tiny, dirty shower room

All the lovely views, atmosphere and good service were cancelled out by the toilet and shower.
We paid £166 for the night and couldnt use the toilet for the queue of campers who paid £10. Had to go into the closed pub at 7am and pee with the door wedged open because the lights were off.
The shower room is tiny and serves 16 staying in the pub and another 2 dozen campers. There was no shower gel, a filthy muddy floor and a dirty single bath mat being used by everyone.
The luxury dome had a comfortable bed and nice bedding but the kettle was dirty and the cupd hwer dirty.
