Firstly l would point out the staff were excellent and were very helpful. However the room was not great. It was cramped and you had to move the tv (or duck under it) just to get to the bathroom. The road noise was constant despite double glazing. Also had to ask the lovely staff to change the stained pillow cases. When leaving at 10am check out time the place was still locked up, curtains pulled and deserted.

Wonderful break

This is the second time we've stayed at the Mason Freehouse, it was lovely the first time we stayed, which made us keen to return. Although it is now under new management, it's clear that the lovely, friendly, warm welcoming atmosphere is something the staff are keen to retain. We're looking forward to coming back and staying again, as the plans for new menus sound fantastic. Room sizes and facilities are very adequate for a short stay. The location is very central for the surrounding walks, caves, lakes and other activities. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Cosy, clean pub rooms.

Clean, comfortable rooms but quite cosy. The pub is on the busy A65, so it can be quite noisy, even at the back. Very little choice for vegetarians/vegans, especially if you don't like fake meat. Although the kitchen did agree to do the mushroom salad which is normally only on the lunchtime menu for dinner, which was nice. Some fruit at breakfast would have been nice, but there was tasty bread.

Stayed here on an overnight exploring Yorkshire Dales. On arrival announced ourselves as no-one at bar we were greeted with "we are here...just wait". Taken to room up a very tight staircase, advised we could use the fridge outside the room & then left to it without a key for the room. Room lovely & bed comfy, fan provided great as it was warm. I love traffic noise but for anyone who doesn't...this place is on a MAJOR main road with trucks passing at all hours. We put water we had bought in the fridge & discovered the following morning it had been stolen! Advised the male host on departure & he didn't seem bothered. Nice place but customer service & security lacking

Friendly staff

Good service and friendly staff, decent food as well. Very close to the waterfalls walk which is worthwhile doing. Road is quite noisy if you’re a light sleeper but I didn’t have an issue.

Lovely pub with welcoming hosts

A lovely, welcoming pub which is ideally situated for the village of Ingleton and local places of interest. Our room was cosy, super clean and the power shower was amazing! All the staff were extremely friendly and attentive and made us feel very welcome. The only drawback for us was the busy road that the pub is situated on. With the window open, the noise of the traffic is pretty relentless. There was a large fan in our room though which we took full advantage of!

Average accommodation

Accommodation was average but the cleanliness let it down. The bedding was clean and fresh but we had old tea spashes on the unit and also someone's old toilet usage was still stick to the pan. "Wasn't the nicest thing to have to clean when I've paid to stay at a hotel" overall would I stay again. Yes I probably would as it may have been a one off... Some of the furniture and decor had seen better days too

Very nice

Lovely room at the Mason's Arms, very clean, it was on the small side but this didn't bother us at all. Nice big shower with free use of shampoo/conditioner/shower gel. They were busy when we arrived so had to wait to be served and shown our room but we arrived at the busiest time for the restaurant. We also ate there and the food was delicious, we would stay again. The room was warm so had to open a window, we could hear the traffic from the busy road outside but it was not a major problem. Overall a really nice stay :-)

Easter 3 peaks walk.

Very comfortable, staff very friendly, service spot on. After walking the 3 peaks the bend in the stairs could do with an extra hand rail, but that only because i was aching and knackered.

A breakfast would have topped it off...

Quality country pub... however on main road - very noisy through out the night with passing lorries. Also disappointing no breakfast offered, when Hotels.com clearly stated breakfast was included in the price..... another mis-leading sale from Hotels.com

Great for a stopover for the waterfall trail

The pub is very busy and friendly. Room was small but perfectly fine for an overnight stay; we ate in the resturant and the food selection was limited [Sunday menu], but very good quality. Staff friendly and attentive.

This traditional pub has everything you could possibly want. The pub is clean friendly and inviting, they have a food menu which is not too big but offers a selection of most dishes you would expect to see. We ate both dinner in the evening and breakfast the following morning and the food on both occasions was faultless and enjoyable. The staff went out of their way to assist, finding a table for us to eat in the evening, (booking is advisable), offering to carry cases up the stairs to our room. The room was spotlessly clean, the bed was comfortable although the pillows were slightly too big for us (no problem there if we had wanted we were offered extra pillows etc, nothing is too much trouble). There is an hairdryer and tea and coffee making facilities with biscuits provided and in the bathroom which is ensuite there is a soap dispenser, shampoo and conditioner dispenser and pristine soft white towels. I would not recommend room 3 for a person who is less able bodied, as there is quite a steep staircase with very shallow winding steps at the top.. The bathroom is very small and there is no handle to hold on to when getting in and out of the shower which is quite a high step up and down, otherwise a very nice clean functional bathroom in every way. There is a small car park next to the pub which can get busy but it does empty quite quickly too so we didn't have too much of a problem parking. The staff advised that it is ok to use roadside parking also.

Great

Stayed here for one night before doing Yorkshire Three Peaks walk. Cosy pub downstairs with great food and drinks at reasonable prices. Room is in great condition, clean and comfortable albeit not very large but totally fine for the purpose. would definitely recommend
