Harts Head Hotel in Craven

Great country pub. Excellent food, great service, delightful staff. Very thorough Covid safety measures, yet low key so as not to spoil the ambience. Good selection of Gins and beers to keep everyone happy.

We arrived on spec at 6pm as a family of 4 hoping for an early evening meal outside as we’re recently out of shielding, with ongoing high risk with Covid-19. Having seen the great reviews and knowing they have a large beer garden we didn’t...

Service ,value and quality all round. Genuine friendly service,lovely people indeed. Sunday roast for a king...best ever. Booked to go again before we go home,faultless.

We’ve just been and had their Sunday roast dinner the mixed meat one is absolutely awesome all for £13 (16/08/20) the chocolate fondant and brownie are really good also.

Super meal.... merigine to die for... amazing. Really friendly staff... very relieved we managed to get a table ... not booked. Govt discount scheme made meal incredible value. Many thanks for great evening

Fanatic meal, friendly fast service, the staff were lovely with my 9 year old who is very fussy with food. They even let me plug in my phone as we are camping. All in all fabulous

We ate her on 2 consecutive nights and the food is excellent. The menu is good but limited, not sure if this was due to Covid or this was the normal menu. The first evening we both had the homemade tomato and basil soup which...

This was our first foray out since our enforced stay at home spell. We had a wonderful welcome, firstly from John who greeted us warmly and escorted us at a discreet distance to our table and then by Aaron his partner, a few minutes later....

Had dinner in the Harts Head on Friday night the 26th and the food was excellent we had the steak night special and what great value 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £30 and the steaks cooked perfectly can't fault this place well worth a visit if you are in Giggleswick.

Just returned from 2 nights in Giggleswick at the Hearts Head Inn really pleasant stay lovely landlady who made us so welcome excellent breakfasts and dinners compliments to the chief. Rooms maybe in need of a revamp but clean. Would go back

I ate one evening whilst walking in The Dales. The menu was good ,the food was well-cooked and served hot. The service was friendly and efficient and there was plenty of parking. Price-wise it was exactly what you would expect from this kind of bar food establishment. A good choice.

Passed a pleasant hour or so in this nice little pub...warm and friendly, full of locals. The barman was rushed off his feet but served everyone in order (which is a rare quality). The ale was well kept. Prices were a bit ad hoc with both rounds being different prices despite the drinks being the same. It was still good value though. We didn't eat there but the restaurant looked welcoming

The place itself looked lovely, bedroom was big and looked nice. Even the view was good. The problems were the bed wasn't comfortable, food was nothing to shout about. Plus, you don't get much of a choice off the menu. The fish cakes tasted like they were off and the onion gravy was there soup of the day it was like they weren't bothered about us being there and couldn't wait to get finished as we had breakfast at 8.50 and they stopped at 9 no milk for cereal was left they cooked our breakfast and then just went. No toast was offered so was very disappointed we then herd that someone had complained about the fish saying it was iffy and didn't taste right. Probably cos the fish was off and didn't order fresh in and was trying to get rid of it to customers instead. Me and my boyfriend spent 2 nights there and I am disappointed to the fact that we both had to pay £110 each. When it really wasn't worth spending that much. We were so happy to be away from the place and back home. We will not be returning in the future.

A very pleasant bar with a very wide choice of cuisine Really enjoyed the experience although it appeared on the pricey side. The staffwer e very pleasant even though they were run off their feet.

A warm welcome from Barbara was the start of our stay on B&B basis. We stayed in the Innkeepers cottage annex which was great for us a there was private parking and security for the bikes. Breakfast next morning was being run by pleasant staff but took a bit of time to get tea and be shown self service items on a table which was out of view. Cooked breakfast was good quality and plenty of it. Breakfast next day had Barbara in attendance, atmosphere and efficiency was much improved, food was again good quality and set us for the day ahead. Overall an enjoyable stay, as someone else commented needs a little TLC to make this a 5* rating.

A great selection of food at reasonable prices. The service was excellent and the view over the hills was a bonus!

Great selection of real ales and a great restaurant as well. There is also accommodation which I have not tried. Often visit here to see the football in the tap room and then have a meal after.

very friendly and welcoming. Menu was amazing. So much choice and very reasonable. Advisable to book as we turned up on Friday night at 6.45 and they were fully booked. Great atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Visited on Friday afternoon 27/02/15- for a few drinks as i know they serve fantastic ales. wasn't disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed our experience and nice to talk to the locals and landlord! an entertaining couple of hours! CHEERS!

Table for 4 booked in the restaurant for dinner. We had asked for the Xmas menu and had emailed our individual choices through to the chef. The pub area was nicely busy and we enjoyed a drink prior to being shown through to the dining room. Most members of the party had sticky maple duck as a starter followed by roast turkey and all the trimmings. The duck was served on a bed of mixed leaves and was tender and very tasty. There was a generous portion of turkey which was served with the usual trimmings and a large crispy yorkshire pudding. A bit unusual but it was delicious and the pub is in Yorkshire after all! The mains were followed by a good selection of puds and finished off with mince pies and coffee. All this for £15.95. What a bargain!The service was slick and the landlady was constantly on hand to make sure everyone was happy. We certainly were.

I wish I'd known about Trip Advisor when I went here hoping to have dinner. Rural Yorkshire of course, maybe they didn't like the look of my companion. We stood at the entrance to the restaurant for 10 minutes while waiters and waitresses passed by completely ignoring us. Finally we left, disgusted.

Came to the Yorkshire Dales to see Malham Cove (which is unbelievably beautiful), and hadn't booked anything. This was the only place available but it was very English and fitting for where we were. The building is very pretty, and the food at the pub is really, really good, especially considering where this place is. I'm giving the Inn a 4 because the food overcame the room, which was really funky and okay because we were only staying one night, but I wouldn't stay any longer. The other thing I would say is that the service was not remarkable; we were waiting what must have been 30 minutes for our main meal to arrive, but it was delicious. Not a bad place, but I would look at other options first.

Varied menu, including a wide range of vegetarian options. Good size portions of tasty food. Good value for money, nice atmosphere in a pleasant dining area.

I had the scampi which was a little disappointing! They were very accommodating making sure all 8 of us sat together even though we arrived in dries and drabs!This is really a pub/hotel serving pub food which is not cheap. It was busy so seems popular. But it didn't do a lot for me.

Have been here a few times and the staff and food are great. I think the Hart's Head serves the best gammon around

We enjoyed two very good evening meals here and some excellent beer during our walking break in Giggleswick. The Harts Head Inn is welcoming, warm and comfortable. The "Lamb Henry" served with mashed potatoes is highly recommended. The staff team, locals and other visitors were all very friendly. A great place to relax after a day's walking.

The food, service and the ambiance was excellent. The manageress could not do enough for us. It was such a cosy pub that I did not want to leave. Please go and try this little gem it is the best place that I have been to in a long while.

We were staying in the area sight-seeing. We asked a local where the best place to eat was and were directed to the Harts Head. We were not disappointed. The menu was varied and the food was lovely. The bonus was that they are a CAMRA real ale pub with a good selection of beers. The landlady was very attentive. Very pleasant end to a day.

A group of 20 plus Ramblers had done a 9 mile walk called 'Giggleswick Scar', a circular walk that met at the Hotel.The group made a meal reservation in the restaurant and before setting off pre-ordered their food.The staff were very friendly and helpful. A 10-15 minute walk from Settle this would be another restaurant I would visit again.

We've been to this pub quite a few times, as a friend of ours lives nearby. It's a real locals' pub and there certainly are some characters that drink there! Always a lovely friendly welcome from Barbara and her crew, and a good selection of well-kept real ales, mostly local. It is very traditional inside, and has an extensive menu - nothing radical, but decent, hearty, honest food. A gem of a place.

Nice atmosphere, staff extremely helpful and food of a very good standard. We ate there two nights in a row but would havehad to have gone every night for three weeks to taste all that was on offer on their extensive menu

I drink there regularly ! It's a cheerful friendly pub, with a good local clientel as well as visitors. They keep a good range of real ales, including some that are locally brewed, and keep them well.I've eaten there occasionally, both in the bar and in the restaurant. The menu offers a good range of typical 'pub food', with a few unusual offerings too, including several vegetarian options, and is well cooked, and cheerfully served. There's some outdoor seating, and a small children's play area, at the back, with a good view. It's a great place to sit and watch the sunset on a warm evening (which has happened twice in 2012 !)

Based on the recommendations we had read on this site we decided to visit the Harts Head whilst on holiday in Settle. We were encouraged by the wide range of choice of real ale and were not disappointed with those that we sampled. However, the food was distinctly below average. Both our meals were over cooked to the extent that the Salmon had crackling on the top! We may have been unlucky and visited when the chef was having a poor night, but based on our experience we will not be returning to eat again.

We had dinner at this pub and the food was excellent, our meals were hearty and it's a lovely location in giggleswick. Would recommend it to other Australians who are travelling through this village, it had a lovely warm and cosy feel inside, with a home cooked fresh feel to the meals.

We ate here for three nights while on a Ramblers walking weekend. Despite the fact that there were 19 of us, the staff managed to serve all our food at pretty much the same time and were pleasant and efficient. There is an extensive menu with some more unusual dishes and the food was excellent. The place was very busy apart from our party and my husband was full of praise for the bar staff who ensured that no-one had to wait too long to be served. Would definitely go again.

I had three meals here. They were reasonably priced and of good quality. Fresh vegetables are used and the presentation is of a high standard. The staff were friendly, attentive and helpful without being intrusive.

Food was above average but the ambience was just awful topped out by Christmas songs being played in late March. The waitress didn't seem too interested and just said it was part of a stndard playlist!Gave a feel of shabby and in need of some serious money, they should be grateful for the captive hotel trade.

We have been to the Harts Head Inn on many occasions and always get a warm welcome from the owners (Trevor and Barbara) and also the courtious staff.   The bedrooms are warm and cosy and are constantly being updated to meet guests comfort.   The food is also very good with a comprehensive menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner complimented by a substantial wine list.   This is a hotel I have pleasure in reccomending to both family and friends.
