The owners, Barrie and Barbara are so warm and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. They are very caring people. Breakfast is a feast of whatever you want it to be. The rooms, as is the establishment as a whole, are full of character but they are also fully funtional as advertised.

We spent our usual week at The Old Star B and B this summer and will return next year. Premises (very clean etc) consist of an old pub (sadly no longer licensed but you can bring your own drinks and, in any event, the acclaimed Fox and Hounds is almost opposite) with excellent bedrooms and bathroom facilities plus the added...

We stayed here for three nights. The owners are absolutely lovely and friendly. The Bed & Breakfast is a great place. Our only downside was we stayed in the family room out the back in the converted part of the pub and it was a little damp so had that horrible smell that comes with it. I am not slating... More

Was attending a wedding the area and got a twin room ensuite at short notice. The first thing was the warmth of the welcome despite it being in the middle of Yorkshire monsoon weekend. Lots of characterin the whole place, very clean and tidy. Didn't get to see much of the local area because of wedding but will definately return... More

A nice big room (we had one with en-suite) and good solid breakfasts. Location is very good - 20 yards away from the only pub in the village and about a 100 yards from the Wensleydale Heifer (a very nice seafood restaurant). Barbara and Barrie were very helpful hosts too. Overall, a very good value B&B.

We stayed here to attend a wedding. The place has a quirky Yorkshire charm. Compared to any sort of travel lodge it knocks the spots off it, unless you like anti-septic homogeneity. The welcome of the owners is truly warm, they clearly care about their guests. The breakfast is superb. There is also a nice garden to use if it... More

This is a lovely place to stay. We stumbled upon this old inn overlooking Wensleydale, now a cosy and characterful guest house, quite by chance. We were given a warm welcome by owner Barrie. Our room was delightful, and very thoughtfully equipped. Barbara's breakfasts were fabulous, with locally sourced bacon and sausages. Easily the best we have been served when... More

Pleasant room in a lovely village overlooking Wensleydale. Barrie is very welcoming, our room (6) was a good size and had a view overlooking the valley which was lovely. Other rooms probably don't though. Two down sides to the room - low ceilings - I'm 6ft 4 and cracked my head on the beams and the shower was the hand-held... More

The Old Star is a small B&B on the main road through Wensleydale at West Witton. It has been run for 20+ years by the same couple who offer a warm welcome, friendly advice and a great, locally sourced breakfast. Parking is available either at the front of the property or in the pub car park opposite (the pub is... More
