Book a table in advance

We have stayed here before. The bedrooms are in different areas we were in room 10 in The lodge a ground floor room with hard to open patio doors and a small table. The room is a good size though, usual tea coffee facilities you would expect. A small table inside with two armchairs. Dressing gowns prividd were lovely and soft a nice touch compared to rough ones I have used elsewhere. Breakfast was between 8am to 10:00 we got there abouts 9:30 we were presented with a menu. No fruit juices, cereals or yoghurt on display. We asked for juice but its unclear if its available I spotted a couple with juices so we asked for apple. Breakfast menu has various options I cannot eat a full cooked breakfast so opted for bacon. Avocado with mushrooms on toast. It tasted lovely and I enjoyed it. We had dinner the night before I recommend booking as it was busy. Steak was tasty though hard to cut a little tough in places. My husband had the pork tomahawk, chips were not very pleasant. An enjoyable stay easy checkout.
Garden area very pleasant.

The Craven Heiffer has a warm and welcoming atmosphere - staff were professional, friendly and approachable and the service was excellent! My hotel room was lovely and spacious, the bed was comfortable and I had great nights sleep. I will definitely plan a return journey … the bar staff were lovely and I’d like to thank Gemma in particular !

A Tale of Two Locations!

Accomodation excellent, cleanliness excellent, well appointed and furnished with 'taste'. Food was excellent and wide choice available, bar and waiting staff were efficient,attentive and personable. My only adverse comment would be the relative positions of the accomodation block(s) and the pub/restaurant, umbrellas are provided for the journey, should it be raining, even during good weather, there are steps to negotiate and you leave a warm building experience outdoor temperatures then enter another warm building.
