A great trip

Exactly what we needed. The pub also does some sensational non traditional dishes. They where so lovely when I popped a party canon they laughed and joined our celebrations. The owner of the pub was so kind and gave us a donation towards our charity RASA whom we where doing the hike for. Would recommend and go back! Thanks so much, have a great rest of the year everyone.

Excellent 1 Night Stay

The room was neat and tidy, well decorated, had a very comfortable bed with a tasteful modern bathroom, which had a very good raindrop and handheld shower with nice fluffy towels. In the room there was complimentary water, tea and coffee. The coffee being excellent coffee bags but no complimentary biscuits which would have been a nice touch. We booked directly on a bed and breakfast basis. The breakfast was excellent I have to say with plenty of choice.

Warm welcome and great food!

We choose this place from the Britstops Guide and what a great place it was. We received a very warm welcome; food and drinks order taken promptly and served pleasantly. Fish and chip order was huge; scampi, chips and peas was smaller as requested. An old style pub with good food; great service and very accommodating staff.

Centrally located and comfortable stay.

A lovely hotel centrally located. We parked on a council car park across from this Cardiff hotel which was fine. Room was large and comfortable, and the shower was brilliant. Breakfast was lovely, lots of choice on the menu and staff were very friendly and attentive. We have already booked our return visit!

Excellent first visit

Chose the this pub simply because its local and I hadn't eaten here before. I took my mum with me and we had a starter, main course and dessert. Everything we ate was delicious, well cooked and piping hot. The staff were very efficient and friendly and the whole place was well decorated with a friendly atmosphere. My only regret is I didn't visit sooner I will definitely be back.

Absolutely delicious.

Great menu choice, vegetarian, and vegan options, I had the mushroom and halloumi burger it was a tasty sensation, my husband had the steak n ale pie he said it was packed with steak. Staff are friendly and very helpful. I love that we had time between courses I hate being rushed. Plenty of drinks to chose from and they even do cocktails to. You can sit out at the front and loose yourself in the breathtaking scenery but on rainy days there is also a lovely outside botanical covered area.

Probably the best beer this year.

This is a proper local pub with proper beer with good conversation a warm a welcome for old and new customers, no loud music nice cosy fires on a cold night. Having spent a week on holiday in the forest of Bowland I was beginning to despair there are lots of 'pubs' doing food but I have a dog, who luckily for me, loves pubs and it seems around here the two are not compatible.

Excellent experience

Good, fresh food well cooked, great value for money. Attentive service but not fussy and very well kept beer! As I found out later that they are award winners. The log fire was lovely and cosy and certainly contributed to the warm friendly pub. We will definitely be back, and not just for our 10% discount.

A lovely stay

Just back from a one night stay in this Pub with rooms and thoroughly enjoyed it. We stayed in The Barn conversion just up the road which was spacious, cosy and well appointed. Dinner was very good, as was the service. Breakfast was top quality and the lunch we had after a long walk up Malham Cove was also very good. Just a couple of words of advice. This venue is very dog friendly.

Gorgeous country pub

Just what you needed on a miserable Misty cold day. Roaring fire and cosy oldie worldy decor. Lots of parking. Very pleasant staff. The fish butty ( on a brioche bun) & mushy peas also with skinny fries. The beer battered haddock was beautiful. The goosnargh chicken BLT on brioche was also spot on and will definitely return. Highly recommended

Pub that sells good beer.

I visit the New Inn regularly,this is your traditional "boozer" and like marmite you will either love it or hate it. It consists of 4 rooms plus a bar area, a large rear beer garden "yard" and a smaller drinks area at the front. The main selling point is the choice of well kept beers (usually about 8 cask bitters) at reasonable prices. It doesn't do food other than crisps and there is no background music or slot machines - you have to make your own conversation which most people seem to manage.

Exceptional place to stay

As soon as you walk in you are made to feel very welcome. The Landlord is very friendly and chatty. The pub itself is very cosy and I recommend their restaurant, they serve delicious homemade food. The bedrooms are very clean and comfortable, as well as tea/coffee making facilities they also provide a ‘breakfast’ box which was a nice surprise. Overall I would definitely stay here again.
