Just a quick stopover. Friendly and comfortable with cosy feel to the bar area. Decor in room a bit TOWIE and at odds with the rural feel of the country pub and certainly not to my taste but room clean, comfortable ,and functional. V good quality food. 4 real ales on tap but all a bit similar

I loved this hotel! So nice, right in the middle of a tiny village. It was perfect. Room was excellent, food was fantastic, staff were very friendly, locals were really good to chat to. The only thing that went against it (and it didn't stay a bad point for long) was the lack of signal. The only mobile provider around here is EE and even that is flaky. WiFi wasn't great either. Then I thought about how I'd disconnected and realised it didn't even matter. Felt even more relaxed!

We had a wonderful 2 nights with great food in the evenings and first class breakfast each morning. It was perfectly situated for envigorating walks despite the wild weather.

Overall the Hotel was Excellent, Food and Staff Superb, and the Location of the Hotel was a plus being close to walks and sites to be visited If you are not on EE or ORANGE, then at present you do not have a phone connection. The Internet was fine downstairs but not good in bedrooms, however, no phones or internet - A BONUS..... This is throughout the village and not just the Hotel - sadly, soon it will be all upgraded, just waiting on permissions

We had a very warm welcome from staff who showed us to a wonderful room, with its own external door, so we could take our dogs out without disturbing the other guests. The dogs were welcome in the bar and spoiled by friendly staff and residents. The menu had a good selection of traditional and al a carte choices,with half portions available for the smaller eater. There was plenty of scope for special diets and personal preferences. Breakfast had plenty of choice and flexibility, the full breakfast was delicious and set us up for a days walking. Staff where very friendly and helpful without being intrusive, and had a good knowledge of the local area. Great area for walking from The Black Swan for all levels.

Not sure what to expect when we booked ie state of hotel or even exact geographic location. Very pleasantly surprised at how lovely the hotel is, the staff are very warm and friendly and the food and ale are superb. The Village of Ravenstonedale is absolutely delightful with friendly locals.

Just a one night stay on business, but all of the staff were incredibly welcoming and professional throughout. Had a great evening meal in the bar - fresh and tasty curry - and breakfast was excellent. Would stay here again, for both work and pleasure.
