The Wensleydale Heifer
Recommended by
Our view
"Stylish all-rounder."
Overview
Father and son partnership Lewis and David Moss have owned the Wensleydale Heifer for more than 17 years and have created a real family atmosphere at the hotel. With a cosy and comfortable lounge, complete with its log burner, the Bar and Snug offer dog-friendly and more casual options for dining, while the Fish Bar and Dining Room are perfect for any occasion. Whichever room you choose, the food is AA-Rosette quality; start with beef, wild mushroom and truffle spring rolls; continue with herb crusted hake fillet, crushed potatoes and herb cream; or roast Nidderdale lamb rump, garlic and herb mash plus roast confit garlic. There are whole pages of choice for both vegetarians and vegans, as well as a lobster menu, a grill room menu and a wonderful children's menu too.

About the area
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England’s largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
