We were looking for somewehere for a relaxing break after New Year that takes dogs, has nice rooms and good food to boot. By chance we found the Wensyldale Heifer using a search engine and after a bit of research and exchange of emails we booked a two night stay, dinner, bed and breakfast - £140 per room per night.... more

Set in a beautiful location. After reading how lovely this place was in a book we thought we'd stay a night while we were staying in Yorkshire. The inn itself and staff were lovely but the lobster we order was so chewy. We had to order drinks at the bar twice, were told they would be brought over but then... more

we stayed at the wensleydale heifer for my friend's birthday. The place has a really quirky friendly feel to it. I would say the restaurant and bar has been done to a great standard, the lounge area could do with a little bit of a facelift tho The meals (dinner and breakfast) were out of this world and made the... more

We had a fantastic time once again at the Wensleydale Heifer. The food was sumptuous & well presented. However the thing that makes this place extra special is Chris the manager. His professionalism & charming personality & enthusiasm create the perfect ambiance. more

My girlfriend and I had booked the Chocolate room in August, so were looking forward to immensley for when we went 02nd January 09. We were not let down! The room was fantastic, very nicely decorated in brown and cream colours. The chocolate draw was great, the vases with roses chocs in was brilliant. The bed was huge and so... more

We stayed at the Heifer for three nights from New Years Day. I would highly recommend it although there are a few things which prevent me from giving it top marks (see below). On the plus side: The food and customer service was fantastic - we like our food and have eaten at many top resturants and couldn't fault the... more

Thank you for your great comments, I will pass them onto all the staff. We are sorry you were not offered the New Years Day menu, it was only actually for people from the village that had pre-booked with us for that promotion. As for the canapes / fish platter describtions I will personally ensure that these are explained either...

Had previously visited the restaurant for a meal and in view of that decided to take a break there. Was not disappointed with the meal, which was excellent. However we stayed in the four poster room, which overlooks the main road through the village. This meant we had an early wake up call with various tractors and lorries passing by.... more

Booked the Sumptious Sunday Deal at a room rate of £140 which included full english breakfast and dinner! Excellent Value for money! This hotel really has a cosy homely feeling to it, it has a loung area with three leather settee's and chairs around an open log fire.....just great for relaxing with a few drinks! The bar staff are so... more

Stayed at the Heifer for my husband's birthday and were a little disappointed. The room (heifer room) smelled musty and was situated over the kitchen and so the sound of the extractor fan was a bit of a nuisance. Overall we thought the accommodation was overpriced for the quality and the room was a little shabby. However, the food at... more
