Cocketts Hotel in Richmondshire

After reading great reviews I called in here on Monday March 27 2023 looking for lunch. Very pleasant and polite member of staff informed me that the restaurant is no longer open to serve daytime meals since they shut at the the end of last season

Probably the worst ‘Indian’ I have ever had. Both meals (Chicken Buhna and King Prawn Karahai) were bland and layered in grease/oil. Rice was tasteless and oily, garlic naan bland the only half decent thing was the popadoms. If this had been eat in rather than takeaway we’d have sent it back. First time and last time.

We totally fell in love with this hotel and couldn’t fault a single thing.Beautiful rooms. Wonderful location. Excellent food.Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone of any age.

Quirky for sure but very friendly and very keen to please. The soup we had was delicious and having leaf tea was a treat. Scones on the table is a lovely idea but a cover would be better. Lovely chat with the proprietor and really good at engaging with our whole family.

We came here to have the cheesy afternoon tea which was lovely. The savoury course was excellent and I particularly enjoyed the Mac and cheese. The dessert course was less good, we weren't keen on the cheese cake and not a huge fan of fruit cake.
