The carvery is good with lots to eat but if you order off the menu as well your food will arrive after the carvery eaters have finished. The waiting staff are very young on Sunday, they are a little vague on the whole. Management are good and organised. Cheaper than having people for lunch and all home made.

A friend and I booked 2 nights here for a weekend of hiking. The price was reasonable and there was availability for a last-minute booking which are the reasons we chose it, although they did tell us we were better off booking 9 months in advance due to the busy season starting. We were driving up from London on a... More

This review is extremely critical. However the customer never even came in to the main building to speak to us. Most of the points raised are either inaccurate or simply not true. Our other reviews clearly show that we are a well run Inn offering superb food at very reasonable prices. I reply to each and every point as follows:... More

The central heating was great, beds comfortable but the room was very basic and only one 13 amp socket away from the mirror. Shower room. large car park and the hotel... More

Having been to this establishment on more than one occasion we decided to take a number of our friends. Some of whom are fussy eaters. They were absolutely blown away by the friendliness of the staff and how they were made to feel so welcome on a very busy Sunday afternoon. We ate in the main bar area and all... More

Hadnt been to the Heifer for quite a while so when returning from " bandit country " ( Lancashire ) we decided to call for tea on our way to Ilkley. We were not disappointed. Great atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff. We had the fish and chips, loved the light batter. Had to refuse the sweet trolley, no room... More

Mr and Mrs Davis always have excuses as to why things go wrong and believe me things DO go wrong. I wrote to Mr and Mrs Davis in January with my concerns about my company christmas lunch which was at the Craven Heifer. To date I have not had the courtesy of their reply. They do not deserve to be... More

This lady came on a Christmas do with her firm. All the other employees loved the food but she complained that she didn't have cauliflower cheese. She is clearly mentally unstable and not welcome at the Craven Heifer. I have spoken to her colleagues at Brooksbank valves whom informed it was enjoyable lunch and to take no notice of her.... More

Having experienced a pleasant stay at this establishment, whilst visiting relatives in the locality, in October last year, spending in access of £250 over the two nights we were there, we thought we would spend another couple of nights this weekend. I spoke to the landlord to establish the rates and advised that I would confirm within the 2 hours... More

You rang us up to book and conducted a conversation with a third party at the same time we were trying to help you. You did not stay with us and we can't really see any point to your review. I think facebook is better suited to your comments. More

Our rambling group of 50 ate here again and the quality is excellent. I'm not a fan of carveries but this is exceptional value and quality and the waiters and staff are all friendly. Well worth £8.95.

I stayed at the Craven Heiffer Inn for one night on the 19th January. We were eating at the Burlington Restaurant at Bolton Abbey in the evening and wanted somewhere to stay afterwards. The landlord was very friendly, chatting to us on arrival and showing us to our room. The room was a decent size with a nice view and... More

My husband and I have just spent the night at this Inn on a Special Valantines deal. The evening meal consisted of Canapes , a 3 course evening meal with coffee and chocs to finish. It was absolutely gorgeous food and the portions were huge. We stayed in room 12 for our overnight stay which was very clean but we... More
