The Garden Wensleydale Heifer

Great character-ful country pub serving excellent food, stunningly quirky boutique rooms and a very warm Yorkshire welcome. Cannot praise this hotel/pub highly enough.

We ate in the restaurant and actually stayed on the premises. It is beautiflly kept and furnished the staff were excellant and the meals throughout mouthwartering and the atmosphere so welcoming with anything taken into consideration

Had a tremendous evening meal, our starters of posh prawn cocktail, followed by Irish oysters, then whole Dover sole and a trio of lobster were excellent. Not cheap, about £110 incl tips and a bottle of wine, but well worth it for that special occasion.

Had lunch consisting if a lobster baguette and a turf and surf baguette , with fries . Both fantastic , albeit about £15 each !! Service was good , as we're surroundings and ambience !! No problems with vinegar spillage for us !!!Try it .. But take your big wallet !!!

We really enjoyed our stay and dinner at The Heifer. Our dog was also well looked after with a bed, treat and sausage at breakfast which was a lovely touch. The seafood and steak we tried were some of the best we’ve had, just wish i had room for the amazing looking puddings! We will be back!

Stayed in Chocolate Heaven room which was cosy and tasty with plenty of chocolate treats to eat. Dinner was faultless from the welcoming attentive staff, to the excellent service and the food was top class! We ate the famous fish and chips and the lobster and we were fully satisfied. Breakfast was nice. Only slight negative was slightly thin walls and hearing traffic passing by.

We enjoyed a wonderful, tasty meal at the Wensleydale Heifer for my Dad’s birthday. From the moment we arrived and throughout the meal the staff were friendly, welcoming accommodating overhearing that it was Dad’s birthday and bringing out a birthday balloon, card and a little present! The food was lovely with a good mixture of options to suit the vegetarian in our party and the remaining meat eaters. Everything was wonderful and I am grateful to the staff for the excellent customer service and for going above and beyond to make my Dad’s day feel special thank you so much!

Stayed just one night, en route from a trip North. The staff were really lovely. Dinner was amazing, starting with Oysters and the most amazing steaks. No room for dessert this time but they looked really good. The room was very clean, the bathroom and amenities were excellent. We stayed in the Hiefer room which had a starlight ceiling which we kept on all night. The breakfast was really good. All in all, this was the first but most definitely not the last time we will stay here. We're already planning the next excuse to travel up. A must stay or evening meal in the Dales. Beautiful.

We booked a table with our son to celebrate him going off to university and to round off the end of a very pleasant holiday. We were greeted by friendly staff and shown to our table after perusing the menu. The first course arrived quickly and was delicious, the main course quickly followed and again all meals were very nice. My son had the controversial lobster salad and pronounced it delicious. The restaurant was beginning to now get quite busy but the staff serving were efficient in bringing the dessert menu unfortunately that's were the service went down hill. Though the staff were very busy I eventually had to ask the waitress to take our desert order after 20mins. She was very apologet...
