This was our third stay in 12 months and it just gets better and better. The place, the food, the service is simply wonderful. The Heifer staff are so friendly they go out of their way to make your stay special. We were upgraded on arrival to the Chocolate room. We could not fault this place. Dinner and breakfast were...

We stayed for one night on a Travelzoo DBB offer on our travels - we are biased in that we just love Wensleydale but whilst we had eaten a couple of times in the Heifer we had never stayed so this was the perfect opportunity We arrived at about 4pm ish - its a tad narrow to get to the... More

We recently spent two nights here and the food, staff and room were all excellent. We really enjoyed every aspect of our stay. I would highly recommend a stay or meal here. The menu is varied with fish is the speciality.

We have had both dinner and lunches over last few years at the "Heifer" and never been disappointed. On this occasion we were entertaining friends as "a thank you" for their support over a family illness, and decided the only place to take them was to Wensleydale Heifer, some 45 miles away. The menu choice, food quality, presentation and service... More

This was our second visit to the Wensleydale Heifer. The themed rooms are fun as well as comfortable but it is the food and staff that really took our stay to a special level. I am gluten and dairy intolerant and have never had such carefree and enjoyable eating in any other establishment. They staff were aware immediately we arrived... More

We stayed here to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary. I must say it was the best decision we made. The room was sumptuous (True Romantics). The food and service was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble. The home made chocolates were divine. We will certainly be back to try another one of the themed rooms.

The food and service is exceptional. The rooms are all different and very novel, we stayed in the Movie room on our last stay You can eat from the same menu in 4 areas which gives great flexibility.....from the formal dining room to the bar snug.

Excellent and attentive staff strive to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Having a gluten allergy poses no problem for the restaurant, allowing you to sample almost all of the menu. I have so far stayed in 5 of the themed rooms and intend to eventually enjoy them all.

We stayed at the Heifer on Saturday 25th May and believe me it will not be much longer until we return, what a truly memorable place to stay and eat. Where the Wensleydale Heifer stands out from its competitors is the attention to detail, from the warm welcome on arrival, the freshly baked biscuits in the room, the 1/3 or... More
