Made the mistake of believing that a good menu meant a good welcome. 17th May 2012 walked in found barman on the phone did not even acknowledge we were there. Girl in dining room looked towards us 3 times carried on setting tables again no acknowledgement of being there. Stood there a while longer still nothing. Beginning to feel a... More

A good find in this delightful village. We were staying nearby and looking for a good meal locally. We were not disappointed. Expectations were modest as there were no pretensions to be a gastropub but the service was good, the manager friendly and the food and drink excellent. The shared starters were interesting and the main courses of liver and... More

Having found myself unexpectedly single and a long weekend booked for the bank holiday , i through caution to the wind and took the lonely road up there . Both Kevin the sometimes grumpy landlord and Charlie the only single gay in the village made me welcome from the very start . The food was served even at busy times... More

Having struggled to find a spare table in Kettlewell for a late Sunday lunch, we were grateful to find space in the back room of what at first sight appeared to be an attractive, traditional and cosy pub/hotel. We were disappointed by a curt and disinterested welcome from a bearded barman, who then resumed his focus on the cleavage and... More

Only ate here so I can't comment on the rooms, however the food was very good served quickly and piping hot despite a large party in the dining room, locally sourced ingredients and very well kept Taylors Cask Ales - would recommend.

This was my first visit to the Racehorse Hotel and certainly will NOT be my last. The food was fantastic, the room was very clean and warm the breakfast kept us going all day so much on offer. Charlie was a dream host as was Kevin the Landlord who knows his local area well and was not what we had... More

We enjoyed a night in The Racehorses while the children were looked after by their grandparents. It was a great night away. The beer (Timothy Taylors) wine and food were great. The room had a lovely view over the river and was warm, spacious and well appointed. Breakfast was indeed "full" and Kevin was a good host.

just returned from a two night stay, i did read the reviews before we set off and was slightly nervous as to what we would find............im not really sure what the negative reviews were about, the food was excellent, the service was excellent, our bedroom was clean tidy and the views out of the windows outstanding... as for Kevin (the...

We have recently visited Kettewell which we enjoy, we did not stay at the Racehorses as we booked at the last minute and there was no vacancies. The food was lovely as always and although Kevin might not be everybodys cup of tea , he is a nice bloke and runs a great pub. He managed to fit us in... More
