It is a few years since I’ve eaten there but what a pleasure it was to stay overnight in such a comfortable room. The food was lovely (proper pie) and the Viking bitter really hit the spot after a gruelling walk. The staff were courteous and accommodating. We could not have asked for more.

Great room, friendly staff, incredible food. But❄️
Our stay was great. We only stayed the evening and left in the morning. Room was beautiful and the amenities included were great. The food served in the restaurant was incredible and the staff were really friendly. Only downside to the stay was that the heating seemed to have been turned off during the night and was only turned back on in the morning around 09:00, meaning we were pretty cold during the night which was the only detractor from the stay really. Ideally we would’ve had the option to check out later than 11:00, as we paid about £150 and didn’t end up checking in til about 19:45. Understandably though, I imagine they need to get the room sorted in time for the next guests and we did have the option of checking in from 15:00. All in all, an extremely pleasant stay in the dales. Just wish the room was warmer.

An enjoyable Stay
My wife and I spent 3 nights over the August Bank Holiday Weekend at the Charles Bathhurst Inn. We certainly enjoyed our time there. We found the staff very friendly and always willing to help. Many procedures had been put in place to minimise Covid-19 risk. We had a spacious dual aspect room with a shower room. There was plenty of storage in a large chest of drawers and a built-in wardrobe. Tea and Coffee were available in the room and a fridge in the corridor provided fresh milk. Two easy chairs within the room provided comfortable seating. There was also a lounge for guests available. We had all our breakfasts and evening meals in the Inn. The food was excellent, well prepared, and severed without long waits. Although the menus didn’t change during our stay there was sufficient variety to give us plenty to choose from. A large car park made car parking easy. We will certainly consider staying there again.

Excellent friendly service, food and attractive rural location. Only minor gripe is room 19 had v poor WiFi coverage and I found the coffee rather bitter. I’d certainly recommend it as a great place for a leisure stay.

The hotel was situated in lovely surroundings on the moors. However it was in the middle of now where.My wife has severe problems walking and to reach our bedroom she had to climb 36 steps and really could not cope.As a result we cancelled the two remaining days and checked out.

I'm sorry that you had to leave early from your stay with us. Our location is detailed on the website along with a map. It also states that if you have any queries about accessibility you contact us direct before your stay. Unfortunately we were fully booked when you arrived so were unable to allocate you another room.

Exceptional service and lovely food
The CB Inn has the best of a pub in terms of atmosphere and welcome, but the status of a hotel with the quality of the rooms and brilliant cuisine. All the staff were interested and knowledgeable about the food we ordered. The setting is idyllic, looking down the peaceful dale, with walks all around from the doorstep.

Wonderful rural location, excellent staff and very good food. Great mixture of locals and visitors in the bar, with quoits and dominos in progress. Rooms have super views to the hills in every direction. Packed lunches and paper delivery available, along with lots of local information including copies of many local walks. Best pub we have stayed at.
