The Wheatsheaf is a traditional, family run inn set in the beautiful countryside of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Walker and dog friendly, the Wheatsheaf is on a spectacular walking route between the historic Bolton Castle (where Mary Queen of Scots was kept captive in 1568)and the world famous Aysgarth Falls. The Wheatsheaf was also where Alf White (more famously known as the vet and author James Herriot) and his wife had their honeymoon in 1941. Featuring real ales, log fires, and good food, the Wheatsheaf prides itself on its welcoming atmosphere.

When for a bar snack last night. Luckily we had booked ahead as they were very busy with a party from the local estate. We through that service might be a bit slow but a drinks order was taken straight away and menus given out. We needed a little time to decide as they have a very good menu to choose from. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are available also with a good choice. The food came quickly and was very good. I had the 12inch sausage which is made by a local butcher in West Burton and my wife the Vegetarian glamorgan sausage. The chips are delicious, crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. To drink I had the wheatsheafs own bitter and the wife a white wine spritzer. She was offered a choice of wine for it. Sorry but we did not have room for a pudding. Very good service. Glad to see a pub doing well for trade. …

We had a great time at the Wheatsheaf. The room was great, very clean and the shower was also very good. We enjoyed the breakfast which was very tasty. We were in Hawes and at the Wensleydale creamery. We enjoyed tasting all the cheeses there and looking round the town, we visited the interior shop with a good selection of Christmas decorations, and the mulberry bush, which has gifts and cards. We went to Northallerton to shop and visited the furniture shop called simply Dutch which has many interesting pieces and a cafe. One of the highlights of our stay was the visit of several reindeer who came to the front of the Wheatsheaf where most of the villagers came to enjoy them and take photographs with them. It was very festive! The staff worked hard to decorate and make the public areas look festive.…

Staff was very attentive and the room was great. Hotel was booked through a recommendation and didn't disappoint. Food was good and freshly cook, Plenty of choice for breakfast but found the menu for evening meal was what you would expect from a normal pub, but all freshly cooked and well presented.

Our room is so lovely, with rabbit, hare and woodland decorations. Super clean and very comfy. The bathroom was perfect. Dinner and breakfast was delicious and the service was faultless. See photos. Parking was provided which was ideal. The Wheatsheaf is very local to Bolton Castle, which is where Mary Queen of Scots stayed.

This is an amazing place to stay, right in the heart of the Dales. The team could not make you feel more welcome. We stayed for 3 nights bed and breakfast in a really comfortable room with a lovely freshly cooked breakfast every day. We ate in the bar for each of the 3 nights and the home made food is fantastic, especially after a long walk! Great choice of beers and an open fire too, what more do you need. We had our border collie with us too and she was made to feel just as welcome. We will definitely be back and would certainly recommend a stay at the Wheatsheaf. Absolutely brilliant, see you again soon......

Spent the night here on my way to Scotland. A five star experience from beginning to end. Lovely setting, warm & friendly welcome from everyone and the food (lunch & dinner) was outstanding. After a very comfortable nights sleep I left wishing i was staying longer. Highly recommended.

Beautiful pub, excellent service and food was amazing. Very reasonably priced. You will not be disappointed. We only had an evening meal, however, the accommodation looks spectacular so we will certainly be booking a stay.

Super short break at this lovely dales pub. We loved it! Staff were really good - professional, friendly and very efficient. Good pub food with homemade specials. We stayed in the duplex room next door with our dog which was excellent - parked outside with direct access outdoors, lots of space/ room and …. a log burner! We are booking again!
