A poor beginning with the failure of the on-line booking system. Having received immediate confirmation of my on-line booking of one night in "Chocolate Heaven", when I rang to pay the deposit I was told that there was no record of my booking and the room was now taken. I was, however offered the "Four Poster" room at a discounted... More

Just returned home after a weekend at the Heifer with friends. Above spec in every way. Wonderfully tasty fishy food. Better than some Michelin starred places. More

This was an anniversary surprise for my husband...he was not disappointed! As keen walkers we visit and love Swaledale on a regular basis and I have often seen the Wensleydale Heifer and thought that it was just a pub in the village of West Witton, however a colleague recommended the hotel and in particular the "Chocolate Room". The quality of... More

Stayed with family for 1 night, we had the Four Poster room and others had Chocolate & Champagne. Fantastic bathrooms, lovely and warm with excellent food and lots of nice little 'extras'. If we went again I think I would want the Chocolate room as the tv in the bathroom made me very jealous!!! More

Stayed early December 2011, in the Night at The Movies Room and thoroughly enjoyed the stay in every respect. It evened snowed just to make it extra special! The room is small and front facing, but was very snuggly and extremely quiet, a fabulous nights sleep, in a lovely comfortable bed. The room seems to be especially dark and even... More

The recent refurbishment of the Heifer is outstanding, and since it’s a number of years since we were last there, we were somewhat apprehensive. We need not have worried as all the original charm was still there but brought bang up to date in fine style. Staff were even better and the food better again. What a delight. We stayed... More
