“Dog friendly short stay.”
The Hotel was nice as was the attached bar. We didn't spend a lot of time there to give a full review. Rooms were clean and well presented. The bed was unexpectedly comfortable. There was a lovely smart TV in the room. Breakfast was fine, quick and friendly service, and they even gave us a sausage for the dog.

“Enjoyed our stay and would recommend”
We were familiar with this hotel as we used to have a static on Skelwith Fold. Had a drink in the Talbot Bar many times. Love the location with access to many local places. Free car parking and on a bus route if needed. Nice staff at check in and in the dining room. Fabulous breakfast. Big comfy bed. Bath sheets not towels a nice touch.
