Although the location and property itself are undoubtedly charming, the service is pretentious and the prices eye-watering (two course dinner for two with 'cheap' bottle of wine £160, no dessert/coffee). The food was OK but not exceptional and vegetarian offering very poor indeed - certainly not a patch on The Box Tree at Ilkley. Dining room sparce and uncomfortable (spent... more

My husband and I stayed for one night and I cannot begin to tell you how disappointed we were. The atmosphere was stuffy, the food was like a good restaurant from the 1990's (and yes we do have a discerning palate) the rooms are vastly over priced and very shabby. when we arrived we were told the restaurant was full... more

We stayed for a seventh time at the Yorke Arms in December 2008. It had snowed the previous evening and this added to the atmosphere. Once again we we given a superb welcome by the staff and the General Manager, John Tullett in particular. During our three night stay, nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The food remains... more

There is no doubting the quality of the food at the restaurant. It is wonderful and far better than any one or two Michelin star restaurant I have eaten in. I'd say, for the money, it is one of the best restaurants in England. BUT, and I say this with great regret - the atmosphere created by the Maitre D... more

Although we very much enjoyed our trip to the Yorke Arms we were disappointed with our room. We didn't have high expectations of the room after reading reports on tripadvisor. The room was small and the bathroom outdated, although the heated towel rail was very welcome. The food in the restaurant was excellent, as was the service. We spent a... more

The reception we received and the service throughout our stay was second to none. The food was an incredible experience - could not be faulted. The reception areas are comfortable, homely and welcoming. However we did think the rooms were vastly overpriced - the bed was a good size but the bathroom was tiny and difficult to move around in..... more

The consensus of all the reviews here is that generally the restaurant and food are fantastic, wonderful, memorable, value for money and a lovely experience. The rooms, however, lack attention to detail and are not such good value for money. If they could get the rooms to the same standard as the food and the staff then the Yorke Arms... more

We stayed for 2 nights and it was lovely. I think it helped that there was 5 inches of snow, so the area looked heavenly. We met some friends there on the Saturday night and it was lovely to share with them the warm fire and the snowy surroundings. Food – one word “exquisite”. We like our food, and the... more

This was our first visit to the Yorke Arms. We stayed for a Saturday night on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis in one of the superior rooms. First impressions were great when we pulled-up after a beautilful drive through the frosty Dales and inside didn't disappoint. The room was great, the food sublime and the service a perfect balence... more
