Hotel/Pub recommendations

[minornut]

Taking the better half away for the weekend.

Can anyone recommend a decent pub/hotel in the dales or on the moors to take her to?

Budget upto £80 per night

I'd recommend the Buck Inn, Buckden.

but it may be just outside your budget looking at the current tarrif.

Lovely spot though I have never stayed the night.

Very very cheap too.

The Hawnby Hotel is set in a lovely location well off the main roads.
Some nice walks around there too.

If you want to do this on the cheap, they let people put tents up in the back garden. I've done this a few times. Its a very popular thing to do, but its never crowded. Have a look at the size of the back garden in the photo on the web site!

Looks like I'll be in Hawnby. Thanks for the recommendations. I might call in for lunch in Coxwold on the way as there seems to be a BNG trial run stopping off.

there is - Fauconberg arms
12.30ish

Hawnvy gives you great base
Suttn bank just above - into helmsley and either go towards yorks moors and sboro or onto stokesley and great driving road

I can second the Fauconberg Arms. Coxwold is a really nice little village in the middle of some good twisty roads. I think the Fauconberg has changed hands since I was last there but they have a web site:

Look if your taking the missus and you really want to impress her.., The Buck Inn is in loverly location but a bit in the sticks and right next to the youth correction facility that is "Buckden House" forced field trips!!

Well out of budget for standard room rates but the offers are there. The location is spot on, right at the foot of the Dales for scenic wonders and drives and you've got Ilkley, Skipton and Harrogate within 10 mins each direction. And the Hotel, Restaurant and Bar are 1st class. The place had a Hellipad last time I was there.

And Bolton Abbey is 5 mins walk.

Storiths if still there is worth a visit.

Lots of Restaurants and Bars in Ilkley, Skipton and Harrogate and happy to recommend the best if you want. And shopping is pretty good in both Skipton and Harrogate. Skipton in a market town way and Harrogate in a posh small town way. Plus you could always call in at HHC. Burnsall is a must.

Top place, wish I still lived there. Surrey is nowhere near as good. Mail me and I'd be happy to tell you all I know, although its 5 years out of date.

Try the Green Dragon Inn at Hardraw, near Hawes, with the added attraction of England's highest waterfall in the back garden.......

Unfortunately I will have to wait a while longer to sample all these recommendations as Yogi decided to blow his ignition coil on the A1M just north of Pontefract! Cue a very tedious afternoon trying to fix him and then the ignominy of a trip on the back of a recovery wagon.
