The pub and accommodation is set at the heart of Malham village, perfect for exploring the Cove and Gordale Scar. I've been many times for drinks and food previously, this was the first time stopping over in their accommodation. It’s a typical country pub, open fires, quirky character and full of life. It has accommodation above and to the rear of the pub, and also a short distance away in the converted barn accommodation. We were quite disappointed by the room to the rear of the pub. It was located on the ground floor with the bedroom door directly off the beer garden (no lobby), the layout was cramped rather than ‘cosy’ with little to no natural daylight, a ‘view’ of about 2 metres on to a grey breeze block wall and a utility tank. The bathroom was not a size that it could only be used by one, with the wash hand basis literally behind the door. The accommodation was simply not up to standard for the price charged. We did raise this with the management who did eventually arrange a change of room having initially shown us a little 'attitude'. The range of bar food is drinks is good, if a little on the expensive side for what you get. Breakfasts were good although sausages could have done with a few more minutes and the filter coffee was extremely weak. A few little changes would make all the difference to the feel of the place: a large stack of children's high chairs at the side of the log burning stove in the bar, having to navigate Henry the Hoover in the main entrance to the accommodation etc. I stay in a lot of hotels and it’s things like this that stand out. Overall, the problem with the room took the edge off the visit for us. Would we stay again, not sure, the location is great, that’s what makes it popular. For the price charged there are lots of alternatives around. TRAVELLERS TIP - ROOM 10 IS TO BE AVOIDED (Cosy Room) - request another at the time of making your booking.
