Although we didn't stay here we came back night after night for the excellent beer, meals and the entertaining company at the bar. The free wi-fi was appreciated as well. We will certainly return when next in the area.

If your looking for a real Yorkshire experience with hospitality to boot then The Counrtyman is the place. Our short stay was complimented with a great selection of local beers and a great wine list.

Looking for somewhere to eat on a weekend up Yorkshire (not staying here though), we tried several pubs and they all said dogs wasn't allowed so we couldn't go in.

We have had such a great weekend that we feel compelled to share our experience. Tony the landlord is a very dry "stick" but extremely welcoming and attentive as are the rest of... More
