Stayed at a local B&B in September and they recommended the Wheatsheaf. Happy we tried your food and came back 2 times to try different dishes. Exactly what you need after trekking in the Dales.

Stayed 2 nights with friends in September. Room comfortable, good quality tea and coffee, lovely and clean. Evening meals were good, reasonably priced and very generous portions! The staff deserve a special mention - everyone was very welcoming, helpful and just generally really nice. Exceptional service, thank you. Good location for exploring this area of the Dales. Good price, especially if booked direct.

We’ve stayed here a couple of times when visiting Ingleton and will continue to do so. Friendly staff, excellent breakfast, comfy beds, quiet area so we get good nights sleep. You can hear some noise from the pub which is expected but this quietened down in the evening so did not affect sleep at all.
