Green Dragon Inn in Richmondshire

We stayed here for a night . The room was nice but the meal we had was awful and expensive. My pie was all dried up and taste less my partner had the sausage and mash which was cold . We had breakfast in the morning which was obviously pre - cooked and Luke warm . We will not go there again.

I organised a surprise visit with friends to see how similar the interior was to the one seen in All Creatures Great and Small. We were all blown away at how incredibly cosy and authentic it was and loved the feel and authenticity. You truly could be in any decade over the last 100 plus years. In addition, the food is outstanding, portions significant and quality of beers exceptional!

Was so looking forward to staying here , love hawes we are here alot but never stayed here , it was my birthday so went what a mistake , got put in a room away from the Inn itself , room was OK though and clean,, the worst it was the food , booked evening meal put us on a table that we would have struggle and seats that you couldn't get half your arse on , asked to be moved , meals were a bit pricey i thought , I ordered burger , was not nice burgers were auwful and the chef decided to put which tasted like horseradish sauce all over inside the bun was horrible don't even like that sauce was very hot and horrible , husband ordered lasagne which he said was OK but not great for the money, but the best bit was the breakfast did not taste good cheeapo sausages as well , and the flies omg the flies , wafted them away all the time but alas my breakfast was ruined half way through it and a fly dive bomed into it that was the last of my breakfast , would never stay there ever again im surprised at the good reviews , constant flies was even more annoying

Excellent pub with very good pies. Nice and friendly staff and regulars. Bright and well decorated rooms, with a very comfy bed. Breakfast was great as well. Nice walk to the Waterfall to finish off the visit.

Four of us had dinner on a Friday evening. Gammon steak was excellent. Scampi was pretty standard. Two pies, one steak, the other chicken, appeared to be bought in and served with some generic gravy which had been nowhere near either pie. For pudding, the sticky toffee pudding and apple crumble both looked and tasted home made and went down well. A salted caramel tart in comparison was tiny and looked very much bought in…. A disappointment really. Overall not bad but could be better.

My husband and I stayed overnight for our anniversary. The Inn is stepped in history dating back to 1302, The interior is stunning . We stayed in the Wordsworth suite and we were not dissapointed. The accommodation was very spacious and beautiful, also it was very clean. We were provided with tea and coffee making facilities in our room. The staff employed were helpful and friendly , and the food was a good standard. We would highly recommend a visit/ staying in the Green Dragon Inn 😊

Visited the green dragon yesterday with my little boy and his dad for food. I opted for the steak and ale pie. I have not stopped thinking about it since, the pastry was incredible and the pie filling itself was amazing, I even ordered another jug of gravy as I couldn’t get enough! My little one ate all his adults lasagne and he’s 8 so I think that speaks for itself! His dad ordered the roast beef dinner which I also tried and was delicious and very well presented, we didn’t have a long wait for food either, staff were attentive and the building itself was just great, like sitting in a little piece of history! Will definitely visit again :)

Gorgeous old pub with roaring open fire places. We had lasagne which was nice and steak and ale pie. We sat outside as it was sunny and it’s a lovely quiet village location.

We have just returned from a 3 night stay. The rooms were finished to a very high standard, the breakfast was delicious and so were all the other meals, especially the chicken and ham pie!!. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful. A great base for some lovely walks.

Staying in the area, we visited here for our evening meal and a drink. Absolutely blown away by the interior. Dimly lit, beautiful, traditional pub. You can see and feel the history pouring from every wall- if they could talk! The annoying thing that took the shine off it was the bar area. It was overrun with children. Pushing past people, running about and climbing on the bar stools. Also children continuously running past our table and being loud. If children can’t behave or the adults they are with can’t guide them on how to behave then they should be banned from the bar area or the pub altogether. It was obvious we weren’t the only people who picked up on this. More than once there were 6 children at the bar shouting and pushing past. We ate and left as we didn’t book a table at soft play! The food was delicious. Real pub grub. Staff pleasant but looked stressed.

What a great pub this is. The landlord is second to none a charming lovely man. You won't get a better public house with more charm it's so rustic. 3 blazing fires it takes you back in time we loved it.

One of the most spectacular pubs you'll visit.... Ran by one of the most bizarre families you will ever meet! Visited on a few occasions and not made to feel welcome. Visited again recently and qued for a long time whilst an elderly lady served. Asked for a pint and two cokes. Asked what Crisps she has and she looked at me as if I was stupid and pointed to a wall! Recently read online that the pub had closed and the community had bought the pub and was now operating it... Tried to make small talk and asked her about this... She bit my head off... "You need to check your information.... The internet is obviously wrong. Etc etc" Asked to pay on my card and she declared that she was 80 year old and can't see the machine... Offered to help but she shouted "why do people these days think it's acceptable to pay on cards!!! I can't see the machine I'm 80 year old" sighing and banging around... Clearly I a foul mood..... Ermm OK, sorry but before I headed off on my long walk over from Hawes I forgot to consult my crystal ball in case the barmaid was elderly and didn't like using the card machine ..... Or should I walk all the way back to Hawes use the cashpoint then walk back and pay for it... Hopefully this gem of a pub will one day get the landlord it truly deserves

A lovely traditional pub. The locals were really friendly. We went for a drink before going to see the Hardraw Force Waterfall. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

I adore this unspoilt pub and been comming once a year for years . We mix with the locals next to the fire and are always made welcome. The landlord is always pleasant and makes you welcome please don't change a thing. Some reviews are not happy as no food available. This is an old pub not a restuarante and I hope it stays that way so many good times here and hope there are plenty more to come

would be great if the pub could update their website for opening days etc as when I arrived on a Tuesday found the pub closed no notice to inform me as to when it will be open for custom. So very disappoint came all the way from Essex to view and have a lovely pub lunch

We arrived at The Green Dragon having done our homework for Hardraw Force waterfall.We arrived in the pub.We asked very politely if they were doing food.WELL you would have thought we had asked for the Crown Jewels.The older lady behind the bar barked back at me “ we are a drinking pub,no food “.The pub owns the falls,behind the pub on their land we found YES a cafe doing food.No mention of this from the lady in the pub.Pub was very original ( Drovers Arms in new series of All creatures great and small ) but needed sorting out as it was chaotic.Be Advised.

Only open during the day on a Saturday and Sunday. The lady behind the bar was very friendly however the pub needs upgrading.

Visited The Green Dragon today as we wanted to visit whilst in the area due to it being featured in the TV drama 'All Creatutes Great And Small". On the previous day I messaged the pub via their Facebook page to double check if they would be open on a Monday lunchtime as I'm aware some hospitality venues close after a busy weekend. We recieved a message saying "We usually are if the weather is good. From 12ish. We only serve drinks though. Mark" As the weather was good we visited the area and then made our way to the pub. After visiting the waterfall which was next door we went around to the pub to find it totally closed up and in darkness. (This was at 12.45 so comfortably past the 12ish time mentioned in the message) Two other couples were also looking to visit. One couple from America who were also fans of the TV show and were wanting to specifically visit. This was such a shame

What a gem of a discovery, was made to feel so welcome we went back twice before our trip ended. Fabulous landlord who lent me a book on local history. Great historical bar area possibly dating back to 13teenth century. Bags of character plus a certain puddle out behind the pub. Well worth a visit in fact it's a must before the Gentleman landlord retires, top pint of peculiar too. Thank you Mark, for us it was the highlight of our tour of north Yorkshire. Wanna go halves on a bid for Pendragon castle?😁

Not very friendly and very overpriced drinks, almost felt we were being charged what the owner thought he could get away with. I would miss this pub and visit the friendly, cheaper pubs in Hawes

Called in for a couple of drinks after the steady walk over from Hawes, hasn't changed much in all the long time I've been visiting. Landlord was a very relaxed and amiable chap who was very polite and friendly. Cards, Phones and watch pay methods don't always work so it's best to have some good old fashioned hard cash on you. Will be returning shortly.

Incredibly rude "service". No food at lunchtime despite advertising availability. Avoid. Plenty of lovely places nearby.

Fantastic little pub with some amazing history! Had my first ale here, which was great! Loved the atmosphere and the staff was very friendly and helpful! This is also a must do location for fans of the new "All Creatures Great and Small" series, you'll recognize The Drovers Arms as soon as you walk in. Apparently the business is still recovering from the Covid mess, and hasn't brought food back to the menu yet, but I can't wait to come back and try it in the future!

Popped in for a pint and crisps in the afternoon after visiting the waterfall behind. Really cosy pub with interesting features throughout. Lovely flagstone floors and an open fire with great atmosphere. Really friendly staff with a few nice ales on tap.

I am no stranger to the dales, myself and my family would visit when I was a kid sometimes twice a year, the green dragon inn in Hardraw is very familiar to me and I have seen many a iteration over the years. It’s been about 15yrs since I was last there and learned it had only been open for a little while before my visit. I was camping next door across the river in Hardraw at the campsite which was excellent and perfectly located for the pennine way and treks up on to the moors. I had some work to do and needed a place to use my laptop for a whole day, on my arrival I spent the evening at the Inn and asked Ian the barman and then the landlord Owen who were both massively helpful, he then introduced me to the owner Mark who again was another layer of helpfulness(also a talented draughtsman) and suggested that I can even use a seperate room to focus upstairs the following day. It transpired that I ended up spending the whole day in the bar(sober) with my laptop because the wifi wouldn’t extend through the 13th century walls(no bad thing). I got a real insight in to the comings and goings of locals and tourists alike which ended up being a big day for Owen and his partner who maintained such spirits throughout as well as plying me with the most amazing local cheeses and good coffee. I can’t thank them enough for accomodating me that day and in a place that holds such amazing memories too. I’d highly recommend a visit if you enjoy quintessential period architecture and not one but a couple of real fires on the go most of the year round. Wishing the team there the very best in their ventures and a continued footfall to keep this amazing place alive and well not just for you the visitor but for the locals too.

Intending to visit for a drink with lunch. Shut during the week open Friday to Sunday just had a chat with the proprietor cost of living=less visitors. Lovely location which I hope won't befall a lot of the Dales pubs we saw closed and up for let

Lovely welcome from lovely staff. Really friendly ‘local’ and obviously we’re not local! Evening meal was excellent. Staff all friendly and attentive. Great room overlooking the Main Street. Fab breakfast in the morning with good parking Have no doubt about recommending and would happily stay again! Thank you.

Just awful. Isn’t it strange when the young lady was there everything was running smoothly and quite the place to go. Not any more if I could have given it 0 stars I would. Get your act together sort yourselves out this place has been...

Web site needs updating! No pie night on Thursdays and no food served Sunday lunchtime 😭 Otherwise, the pub was very atmospheric.

Good, standard, reasonably priced pub food. Booking recommended at this time of year. Lovely to sit out front and enjoy the very quiet village life. We have been regular visitors - family of 4 and a dog - on our visit last year and this...

Called in for lunch on a lovely sunny day. Staff were very friendly and the basket meals we had were very good and reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

My family and I had a really enjoyable experience staying at the Green Dragon to celebrate my 60th birthday. From the outset, and throughout our stay, both the landlord and staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The pub itself is brimming with character, and had...

We have been here many times In the past and it’s a lovely old pub. However, it has recently been taken over by new owners who don’t seem to want it to thrive. They advise you to book even though it was practically empty when...

We've just had an overnight stay here and it was perfect. The pub is very 'olde worlde' packed with original features and is very cosy. The staff were friendly and efficient. We had an evening meal which was superb. Good, honest pub grub done well....

I ate at this pub on Wednesday evening. I was asked if I had booked.... not in my case. ‘I will ask in the kitchen if they can accommodate you’. I imagined a full pub later. Not so! It remained VERY empty. I took a...

The young looking bartender with the gold earring behaved like the end of a bell. Very weird attitude towards us considering we’d done nothing wrong. Also, the toilets are disgusting.

Excellent for calling in for a pint on a hot day and the dogs welcome, staff were very pleasant , it's a lovely old character full pup well worth a visit . Didn't try the food do can't comment

Yes this is a real gem of an original character pub in a lovely village . However the mens toilets are in need of attention . Toiler door jams needs a good clean and how can they justify the drink prices . Fosters £4.40 a...

Visited on 19th June for one night and stayed in the lovely self catering apartment. Spotlessly clean and had everything we needed, comfy beds plus a sofa bed. Stunning waterfalls a short stroll from the pub. Scenery is spectacular! Breakfast was superb and catered for...

This trad Yorkshire country inn is going from strength to strength since the new landlord took over. The locals are coming back, tourists are looked after and the food has improved vastly. Watch for occasional folk nights by real fires - a gem.

After reading some of the reviews on here I nearly did not go but so glad I did. I had the best rost beef dinner the staff were friendly and helpful dog friendly as well

Super helpful staff on a busy Bank Holiday weekend - and dog friendly too! Good quality, home cooked pub grub - delicious fish and chips, and a very filling chicken pie. Thank you!

Excellent food and attentive hosts. After a visit to Hardraw Force we had an evening meal at The Green Dragon Inn. It was excellent.

We were a group of 20 cyclists who stopped over on our route from Leeds to Carlisle, and it was FANTASTIC! I can't remember the last time I had the pleasure of staying somewhere with such a helpful and friendly host - couldnt do enough...

Flagstone floors, open fires, labyrinthine floor plan, good pub grub and well kept beer. We all had fish and chips which came with mushy peas AND curry sauce on the side. Friendly and efficient staff. Good, loud, friendly, buzzing atmosphere. Waterfall at the rear!

We booked this a while ago, a much needed night away with friends and had been really looking forward to it. I have been left rather underwhelmed. £120 per room b&b. When shown to our room the first thing I noticed was a fusty smell...

This pub stands as a testament to time and the new series of James Herriot. Walk through the door to a warm welcome, a roaring fire and a glimpse of life in the Dales 100 years ago. Full of ston steps, benches, beams and a...

This is a real gem of a pub in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales! Authentic English pub with open fire, really friendly staff and good, basic pub grub!

I love this pub. It does everything well. We'll kept ale ( essential in my book), lovely bar staff and good food. Food and drinks well priced and as this establishment is on the Pennine Trail it must get all sorts.

We were a group of ten (and two hungry dogs) up for a weekend in Hawes and a meal and some local beer on our first night at the Green Dragon. Fantastic food and ambience can’t recommend it high enough. Will be back !

We had an overnight stay at this wonderful pub very recently. All staff were extremely welcoming and the Landlady and Landlord oozed friendliness. They are new to running a pub but boy have they got it right. 2 cosy fires were blazing away and the...

Lovely warm welcoming pub in a beautiful location. Extremely friendly staff with good food and accommodation and glorious open fires. Definitely well worth a visit

Returned to Green Dragon on our yearly visit. Have been visiting for 30 years under mixture of owners and always been impressed. But, this time the bar person was dour and frankly inhospitable. Stayed for one and usually would have succumbed to another at least,...

Dog friendly, traditional pub. Good food, good service and live music. Couldn’t be better. The pies on a Tuesday are also excellent.

Called in for lunch and enjoyed a good steak & ale pie with chips and peas, washed down with a pint of Butter Tubs ale. Good honest food and a traditional pub ambience, with cosy seating corners, fireplaces and flagstone floors

We called in here on a large loop walk and it was perfect. Snacks, light food and drinks all seemed to be just right. An historic pub well worth a visit.

We loved this pub, very friendly welcoming and cosy. The food is amazing and if you’re passing when pie night is on the menu. It is a must. The pies are amazing. Chips are super too. We also tried other foods off the menu and...

Very traditional Inn with great ales and simple but wholesome menu. Friendly atmosphere created by the staff in a perfect and charming Inn. Offers inside and outside tables. Avoids the extremely busy spots in this area. Worth seeking out.

We stayed for two nights while walking the Pennine Way. Clean tooms, the pub has a traditional feel, great beers, good pub food. Chis and Ann made us feel extremely welcome and Chris went above and beyond by driving us to Horton-in-Ribblesdale to start the...

What a lovely country pub. Top quality, honest, excellent value pub food, served with a smile. If you're in the area, I'd highly recommend it. If you're lucky you'll get served by Sam, the friendliest barman you could find.

Full character and characters . Nice food. Well priced accommodation and so easy to walk into hawes. Hope we get gonagain

It's a very charming inn with superb location. With regards to our stay, we tried very hard to like this accommodation but unfortunately there were things which we couldn't get past by. To start off, we booked a 5 night stay and were only informed...
