The two days we spent at this Inn are two of the most pleasant that we have spent anywhere. Reception by Alison was warm and welcoming, the room was comfortable and clean - the bathroom had really hot water in plenty. The real Yorkshire breakfast certainly set us up for the day and the meals available in the Evening went... more

Spent a very pleasant weekend here with a group of friends. Rooms are well decorated and comfortable, quite trendy decor but perhaps a bit short on hanging/wardrobe space. We did suffer a bit with noise from a fan that ran the cellar cooling system and was situated just below our bedroom window. They need to take a look at that!... more

We stayed for two nights during a stay visiting family in Gilling East. The room was beautifully furnished. There was a fabulous big ensuite with a shower, a bath would have been nice perhaps.

We had an excellent evening meal and breakfast. Thanks... more

Lovely Yorkshire Pub Several rooms in the Pub but we stayed in a family room at the back. Good clean and reasonably priced. - we had a double bedroom and a lounge. Food in the pub is excellent - very recently refurbished - mordern style inside rather than quaint old English. Beer garden at the front with a little stream... more

The Fairfax Arms is a pub that also provides accommodation and food. It is located in a lovely little village called Gilling East on the edge of the North Yorkshire Moors. The rooms are simple, but good. The food and drink are again good. What really makes this place great is the hospitality of the owners and staff. They make... more
