Hidden Gem

Found this place and wasn't sure what to expect but had a wonderful stay and will be staying again every time in the area. The hotel has a Chinese restaurant sa well as a traditional pub. The food was amazing and Irecommend everyone to try the taster menu (2 main taters for £17.50). Staff were super friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

Nice hotel and owner

Rooms a little dated but what makes this hotel a gem is the friendliness of the owner and the quality of the food in the restaurant.

over night stay

Could do with extending the menu as not a lover of foreign food , but the stay was ok but the toilet seat was far to low and the floor boards creaked badly in the next door room , otherwise a good night sleep was had .
WILLIAM, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was clean and well appointed. The service and food in the Chinese restaurant was excellent and reasonably priced. The locals in the bar were friendly and invited us to join in a quiz.Alice was a superb host.

Nice pub in a quiet village location. Very friendly welcome. Great food (Chinese food menu). Our only issue was creaking floorboards, so we were aware of all the early risers in the morning.

Good value, clean and welcoming

I stayed in the family room which was large and spacious. Very clean with good size en-suite. Alice was so helpful and friendly. She takes the trouble to remember all guests by their first names. Free parking behind hotel. Peaceful, comfortable and would definitely stay here again. Cooked English breakfast was delicious!

A great stopover location!

Late arrival and early out but was still welcomed by Alice the owner. Breakfast was offered and even provided at an earlier time than normally given, for which I was very grateful. A great cooked breakfast kicked off my morning and soon I was on my way. This was a perfect location to break up a long North to South journey. Very pleasant indeed. Sad that I missed out on what looked like a super Chinese dining experience for an evening meal! And just a few mins of the A1M

A happy smiling welcome

On arrival was met by Alice, a bubbly character, full of energy and a welcoming smile. Took me to my room which was lovely and clean. Ate in the restaurant food was excellent. Staff very attentive. Food reasonably priced. Restaurant got busy very quickly a testament to the standard and care of all the staff. Now on my list of places to stay when in North Yorkshire.

A comfortable night

Surprised to find food was Cantonese & The Naggs head is no longer a pub.. should have read booking info better!

8/10 Very good

We were made very welcome on arrival, but an extractor fan created lots of noise and vibration. We were moved to another room which was much better, but the vibration could be felt until the fan was turned off around 2215.

Stayed for 1 night. Bed comfy but it smelt. Not sure if was because the bedding hadn’t dried properly or if it hadn’t been cleaned, Towels in the bathroom were tatty on the ends and discoloured. Bath mat

1 night stay

Staff very friendly, food in Chinese Restaurant excellent but breakfast very average. Bar very dull. Room very much in need of TLC. Although it had been well cleaned it needed a complete overhaul and the corridor outside was pitch black until you reached it’s end when the light automatically came on. Not what we expected for the price.
