I cant speak for the accomodation but the food is below average and over priced. The service leaves you wanting.........read on. On arrival and on standing at the bar we noticed a number of dogs, dont get me wrong I love animals but a restaurant is not the place for them, it get worse some ones beloved pooch decides to... more

The Heifer is a fantastic place to spend a relaxing weekend. The themed rooms are tastefully decorated and include welcome extra treats. Our party stayed in the James Herriot room, and the Malt Whisky room and both were really well thought through. The food served in the seafood restaurant is second to none - we all ordered different options and... more

Me and my partner stayed in the chocolate themed room, which we were more than pleased with. The food was exceptional & the service was great. My partner decided upon the famous fish & chips. I myslef enjoyed the fabulous fish curry... more

I and my family have just returned from a 3 night stay at the Heifer. I have to say, it was one of the most enjoyable stay I have experienced. We had 4 rooms, the chocolate room, the four poster, the black sheep and the wensleydale suite - all rooms I would highly recommend but I thought the chocolate was... more

I have to say that I agree with everything the reviewer below "good but not great" says. We stayed in the Herriot room and, whilst it's very nicely finished, did not think it was worth double the average B&B, £90/night would be about right. Anyway, we did have a good time and luckily for us it actually snowed while we... more

We booked to stay at the Wensleydale Heifer after it came top of the pile in the Big Eat Recommended fish restaurants (The Times), not living too far away I was surprised I hadn't heard of it, so promptly booked a night away. My thoughts are as follows:- Location - great, can't beat the Yorkshire Dales, and although a tight... more

Have just spent a 'Sumptous Sunday ' at the Wensleydale Heifer along with some friends from London who we took as a treat and the Heifer did us proud.The place is warm and welcoming in every way..the decor is tasteful and modern and a little bit quirky which goes well with the low ceilings and higgledy piggledy layout of the... more

We recently stayed at this hotel in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. It's location could not be faulted- a truly beautiful place to visit. Moving onto the actual property, our first impression of the B&B was of the extremely tight turn into the narrow driveway leading to the car park- we had to break very sharply to make the turn in... more

I booked this hotel direct and as I am interested in seafood and thought I'd stay overnight whilst in the area. It's OK! No that's unfair It's more than that.. The reception is first class, my room "whisky" (with a free dram) was Good, Tea making facilities.etc..Restaurant.. presentation and service faultless.I ordered shellfish Ok but not what I quite expected... more
