When we booked the hotel, I was told we had the Chocolate Room which I though meant the colour scheme! We could eat as much chocolate as we wanted and were welcomed with a tray od handmade chocolates and cakes. The room was really comfortable with a huge bed and the meal in the restaurant was exceptional. It was made... More

I'm going against the flow here I know, but I just can't see a top class place that I'd rush back to here. Nothing specifically bad happened here, but I just can't wax lyrical about it. You access the main building rooms via an incredibly steep staircase, mostly hauling your own bags. Our room was smallish, and whilst comfortable enough... More

My husband and I stayed at the Heifer for a walking break. When we arrived, we thought 'oh dear', the Heifer does not look much from the outside. We were so wrong on our initial thoughts. Totally wonderful, we stayed in the Champagne Suite, which was beyond words. The bathroom was out of this world. The food at breakfast and... More

Had an overnight stay as part of a package, stayed in one of the theme rooms in the annex to the restaurant. The room was very good, comfy bed, very clean and great facilities. The restaurant was excellent the food was well prepared and good value as part of the package. You really need to book in advance if you... More

Downstairs there was a lovely mix of friendly service, smart decor and great food. The restaurant and fish bar were buzzing from early evening until about eleven o'clock; everyone being served lovely food with a smile. The wine was good, water and bread free and there were delicious little extras along the way. We stayed the night and the breakfast... More

This was our first time at the lovely Wensleydale Heifer, and will not be the last, in fact we have already booked for a night mid May with our relations. We arrived late afternoon mid April, the lovely girl who checked us in explained all about the hotel, she took us to our room, which was the Herriot room, very... More

Holidaying in nearby Leyburn I booked Sunday lunch at the Wensleydale Heifer on the strength of having seen their Head Chef and his side kick cook at the Dales Food and Drink Festival. Thinking was if they can cook that well and be both funny and passionate about their art whilst trying to perform in difficult circumstances then I want... More

This is NOT a grand country hotel with lovely sitting areas, glorious gardens and views, and snootiness to match. Rather it is a rather ordinary-looking village pub sited on the main road in the village of West Witton, which is not the prettiest of Wesleydale villages. As you enter the pub the slightly scruffy entrance leads into a small sitting... More

I can only endorse all the great reviews. We stayed in the Black Sheep room which had HUGE comfortable bed and lovely bathroom, plus a complimentary bottle of Black Sheep ale! We were there on a travelzoo offer for 1 night for our wedding anniversary, and like previous reviews staff had left a happy anniversary balloon tied to a little... More
