Rustic hotel.
Excellent location - so close to the pub at the front of the property, the hotel's restaurant and the surrounding beautiful forests at the edge of North Yorks Moors. Well-appointed and brand-new rooms with repro brown furniture.

The accommodations feature charming decor and a cozy vibe. Dining options showcase a well-curated menu with standout dishes like expertly cooked lamb and delicious desserts like brownies that impress.
Service can feel a bit rushed, especially during busy meal times, with main courses arriving too quickly after starters, leaving guests little time to enjoy each course properly. Some dishes may arrive cold, indicating a need for better kitchen timing. For the price point, certain meal portions seemed on the smaller side, which may leave diners feeling underwhelmed in terms of value.

The location was super nice and the food was just yummm! We stayed in a comfy double room with a private bath and everything was clean n cozy. The ox team was really friendly and seemed to work great together. Already recommended it to friends and can't wait to go back!
The main course felt rushed and the soup was only warm. We also had issues with the shower not getting hot water properly.

The Superior Double Room was comfortable and clean, perfect for a relaxing stay. The location is fantastic for walking, with fine rural scenery. Dining options are varied and excellent, with standout dishes like the seafood platter. The staff during dinner felt a bit stiff, which detracted from the otherwise cute atmosphere.

The Superior Double Room was really comfy with charming decor. The bed was huge, seriously one of the best I've slept on. It felt cozy and clean. The bathroom was nice too, just a bit annoying with the shower not getting hot water properly. Pretty good vibes in the room.

I had this amazing dinner with a group of friends, the lamb was fantastic. The pub itself has this superb charm, feels like a hidden gem in the countryside.
It wasn't exactly cheap, but for what you get, it's acceptable.

great food but noisy at night
Dining options here are excellent, especially the quality of the breakfast. The cute pack with local walk information was a nice touch. Parking right outside the room made it convenient for us.
The noise during the night from nearby rooms was a bit disruptive.
