Great staff. Very nice hotel.
We were at a concert and was a shame that the bar closed so early as would have loved a pint after.

Excellent food and drinks, very welcoming
Lovely hotel with great rooms, good selection of coffees teas and local fudge. Fresh milk provided to take to your room. Great range of beds, bowls and treats for dogs too. Meals were excellent and the staff, Sarah and Rob (and the others too) went above and beyond to make us all feel welcome and sort gluten free information for one of our party. Will definitely go back.

Log fire luxury for Settle to Carlisle.
This is an excellent and very accommodating, comfortable hotel that is perfectly placed for rail travellers on the world famous Settle to Carlisle Railway. Our room was comfortable, warm and the beds were better than home. Great breakfast, reasonably priced ale, log fires topped up!
No complaints.

A welcoming, relaxing stay
Welcoming and comfortable stay. We enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Golden Lion. A very friendly and well run place. The staff worked hard to ensure we and our dog had a fantastic break. The food was excellent and the room had all we could want.

Highly recommended
Very clean. Room recently redecorated to a very high standard.
Lovely welcome tray with good choice of tea and coffee and some local fudge. I was offered a flask with fresh milk for my room.
Great attention to detail.

Fantastic place to stay in a really lovely town
Really clean and nice place to stay. Great food and a nice friendly atmosphere in the pub.
My friend & I were doing the 3 peaks challenge the next morning and the hotel made arrangements for breakfast to be left out early for us so we could have something before we left.

Staff were lovely and very welcoming. Food and drink were both great and reasonably priced for the quality. The room gorgeous but I do recommend a pair of ear buds/plugs as it is on the main street and rooms to the front do have traffic going by from early in the morning.
