Stayed here after a long slog through the Yorkshire dales. The place was perfect for groups and single travelers alike. We all had plenty of space to stretch our legs and enjoy a brew and a chat with the lovely host. A bleary night of local ale, some cheap wine from the shop opposite finished with a very nice send...

We stayed here walking the C2C the wrong way. The lovely owner is called Denise, who gave us a warm welcome and cooked us a nice meal which went down even better after the long walk. The accommodation is basic but clean and has everything you need for a couple of days stay. Would recommend this for anyone on a... More

Part of 7 man coast to coast. Made welcome from the start. Comfortable rooms plenty of hot water and good food, just what you need after a gruelling day. Close to all the local amenatiies. Great hostess definately stay again.

I turned up to a note on the door with the code to access the building, once inside my bag was right there - it could have easily been stolen. There was no heating on and the drying room was freezing! The owner was at a social event and not there until morning. To get warm I placed 4 blankets... More

Just what we needed after our wet and cold journey. The place was lovely and warm and very welcoming. Would definately be staying again. The managaer couldnt be more helpful if you needed anything which is good compared to some places i have stayed.

The hostel was really pretty as a lot of the old features were kept from when it was a church, without sacrificing the function of the place. It was actually a very warm building which surprised me because... More

This is a superb location, very comfortable, and the manager is most helpful too. The only downside is the showering facilities that could do with improving... That said, it's ideal for walkers with shops, of all sorts (eg:- co-op, F&C's, Out-door shop's and many more) close by.

We arrived at the hostel after walking the wettest and longest leg of the C2C so far to be met with a note on the door explaining that there was no member of staff and if there was any problem then to call the mobile number provided. Fair enough. We then climbed upstairs to our 'ensuite' room. On entering the... More
