The rural setting provides proximity to hiking and cycling trails, as well as landmarks like Harmby Waterfall.

A complimentary English breakfast and manager's reception are offered daily.

Rooms include flat-screen TVs, tea/coffee makers, and private bathrooms.

The on-site restaurant serves British, French, and Mediterranean cuisine.

Cons

The nearest airport, Teesside International, is 43.5 km away.

Some rooms may overlook an inner courtyard rather than scenic views.

“This pub-hotel lands you right on the market square, the best possible location. The rooms are surprisingly well-equipped and decorated-a total steal for the price, in my opinion. Add friendly staff who might just run to the shop to get you vegan breakfast items, and you've got something special.”
