We stayed at the Rake on Saturday evening 18th May, as we were viewing properties in the area. The rooms have been recently renovated to a good standard in a nice location on the edge of the pennines. A booking was made at the tapas restaurant downstairs for the evening, we hadn't arrived until 5-30pm and the restaurant was already... More

Went here with my husband and daughter. We were all totally absorbed by the atmosphere and ambience of the dining area. It was snowing heavily outside and the roaring wood burner made us feel instantly welcome as did the staff. We have all eaten tapas before but this was infinitely better than our previous experience. Great service and great food.... More

My and my fiancee stayed here because I had eaten here before and loved both the food and the romantic atmosphere. The food was amazing as usual, it was such a romantic evening and we both agree that it was the best date-night we've ever had. Our room was beautiful. I wish we could have stayed for longer than one... More

Have driven past endless times but never popped in until today ... Will definitely be going again ! Menu was varied with good veggie options and a long list of specials. Friendly service and quality food (fresh and tasty) and homely atmosphere. Recommended.

Very nice meal again last night. Every dish was fresh and hot. Only problem was we ordered too much as the portion sizes are very generous. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. We will be returning soon!

Stayed here with friends on NYE. We had room 3, they were in room 4. Both rooms were individual, delightful and very tastefully decorated. Room 3 has a Shower and 4 has a freestanding bath with a hand shower. These two rooms share a 'front door' too so was ideal for us. Outside is a hot-tub which I presume is... More

OK so you are probably thinking "what?" but the only issue that we have here is that you can be served too many dishes at once. This means that you struggle for space and some dishes become cool rather than hot which is a shame as the food is absolutely superb and the micro-brewery ale is first class. The whole... More
