Lovely pub. Remote but walkable into Skipton via a public path followed by housing estate. Would be helpful if more buses during set months. Not everyone has a car or access to one. The rooms were lovely with no faff TV remote to turn on TV and easy shower where a dial was turned for cool or hot shower. Very hospitable staff. I enjoyed my stay immensely.
Stayed here on Saturday for the night. We were in room 5 triple which is ground floor at the back of the building. The room suited us as it was quite private and apart from the gale force winds in the middle of the night fairly quiet. The beds were comfortable, bathroom and shower adequate and the room nice and warm. The bar was not overly busy and had plenty tables and spacious seating. The staff were friendly and looked after their customers bringing drinks to the tables rather than have people waiting at the bar. We enjoyed the breakfast which was a help yourself continental or cooked breakfast with freshly made tea, coffee and fruit juices etc. I’m not usually one for leaving reviews but was surprised by some of the negative comments left previously by guests here. I thought the Craven Heifer and its staff were fantastic and we really enjoyed our stay. We will definitely be back soon.
Stayed at the Craven Heifer Inn last night and although it's decor I feel was dated, it certainly has everything you need for a lovely stay. Great twin bedroom was lovely and warm on arrival , good shower/bathroom. The inn and bedrooms are spotless and the staff especially the young woman with ponytail (sorry didn't get her name) who served us in the dining room this morning was really friendly & hospitable. Lots of nods to the past with pictures and farming tools. We really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend and revisit . The only downside, a little out of the way for the Skipton town but a taxi was only £6. We could have walked it easily but my dog is old boy now. Breakfast was gorgeous and very well presented as was the help yourself breakfast or fruit juices, danish, fresh fruit, yogurt and cereal. Really good break the views from the Inn is also beautiful.
Very clean, tidy nice rooms though tiny shower (room 11). Breakfast in the morning was perfect, even the milk for the Cereal was ice cold which was nice as so often you get luke warm milk at hotels. Service with a smile. Would stay here again. If you have a car, car park is a good size.
Came in as a family of 4 ordered 3 soups to start this was very hot and tasty that's what the one star is for unfortunately this was only good thing about our experience. For mains we ordered 3 Sunday carvery and a medium fish and chips. Fish was burnt and dry, and what can I say about the carvery, must have been out all day, cold and dry pork v beef not cooked a good vet could have revived it. Gravy I can only describe as dish water tasteless and thin, no apology from the staff. Would not recommend anyone to visit
Dog friendly hotel and pub restaurant just a 5 minute drive from the centre of Skipton. No issue taking the dog to all areas (except the main dining room, though there is a dedicated dog friendly space for mealtimes). Staff were friendly and attentive to our large group - the TV remote was dead so one member of staff made a trip to Skipton the Friday night we arrived to replace them. Nothing too much hassle. Rooms clean and clearly recently renovated, with a decent amount of space and nice views. Lots of free car parking.
Great value for money. Lovely staff. Room comfortable and clean. Great breakfast. Served good real ales. Great views and a Woodland Burial site accessible from car park which was good to see. The only downside was the squeaking bedroom door which closed very slowly. And no milk had been left in the room for a cup of tea and no one to ask because bar was closed.
Beautiful & clean a must visit place!! A home from home experience ideal for families & anyone searching for solitude. The friendly staff, warm atmosphere with great food & excellent service is a rare pleasure. There is outdoor seating to enjoy the surroundings & a large car park is available. The area is surrounded by natural beauty and breathtaking peaceful views. There are many walking trails ideal for nature lovers. Accommodation is provided & I will definitely be visiting in the summer. A haven of tranquility 10/10
Stopped here for 2 nights only on first night but had to leave review already. Arrived after 5pm was greeted by 3 young ladies who was all very polite, was checked in and after a shower went down for food. Well starter main and dessert was exceptional wings was great gammon steak was beautiful and sticky toffee pudding was yummy. Room is big and nice shower room. Tv could do with being bigger.
Stayed here in the carpark overnight so we could get to an appointment the next day at 9.30 instead of leaving home at stupid o’clock. The staff were great and very helpful and friendly, and out dog loved the free home made doggie biscuits The food was brilliant and all homemade fresh.
