Scotts Arms in Harrogate

Ate here because we were staying nearby for a couple of nights. The food was really very good, and it's a lovely old 17th century pub with a lot of character. Definitely recommended.

Excellent, professional, warm and friendly staff and nothing was too much trouble. Rooms and place was fantastic. We would definitely visit again . Thanks so much x

Lovely pub great food and wonderful staff

A change is as good as a rest - for about 10 years we have stopped half way between the New Forest and Edinburgh staying over at the Windmill in nearby Linton - and time for a change - and our stay at the Scotts Arms was excellent. A friendly welcome, immaculately clean and refurbished bedrooms - our evening meal served in a cosy and buzzing restaurant - the food was well presented - portion size was spot on. A good night's sleep in comfy beds ( good pillows) and a great breakfast. A really good first experience - a super establishment, in a great location - very professional. We would recommend and will return - thank you.

Once again 3 times in a month Sunday lunch amazing, the staff are so helpful, happy beautiful people nothing too much trouble. A big thank you too you all, from the searle family.

We were there for lunch Friendly staff, excellent quality food at a good price

A lovely old pub in a rural setting, with excellent, very friendlyfriendly service, facilities and meals. Thoroughly recommend.

Thought the staff could be friendlier and the yorkshire puddings had flour falling out which had not been mixed properly and was not even cooked. When we complained no one could be bothered coming back on it. They will not keep their customers at this level.

Lovely pub and restaurant in quiet village. Good menu, good service and friendly staff. Outside beer garden when weather permits. Had a lovely meal there to celebrate our son’s university graduation. Nice walks around the local area and pub has printed walking routes available.

Terribly disappointing customer care. Table was too close to fireplace and nearly knocked myself out on it! Did they care? Not a lot. I also challenged a small item on the bill and nearly got my head bitten off 😡

Very average roast which is surprising for the price. Came swimming in gravy which I don't like. Overall not Impressed but pub itself nice and staff great.

Went for lunch following an organised walk and everything was great. Our group had a room of our own and the service and food were excellent. The pub was very busy but our food came on time and we were served by very pleasant, friendly staff.

Great food, varied menu. Sunday dinners are great but not available during the week.

Quick visit for afternoon tea. Great service and perfect food. Thank you.

I loved coming here with my family due to the cosy atmosphere and caring staff! The food was brilliant (I recommend the pork tomahawk)

Somewhat bland, chicken special was dry, mashed potatoes were reconstructed. One starter, a mousse, was small, without bread and when asked we received a slice of dry bread( no butter ). Standards appear to have slipped - unfortunately.

Lovely time. Was there on Sunday after a group walk. Service and food was Lovely

Had a lovely Sunday lunch. Excellent service and food great. Highly recommend.

Called by for a pint with the Yorkshire Driving Club. Friendly staff, plenty of beers, lagers and wine to choose from. No time for food, so I cannot comment, although there were plenty dining when I visited. Maybe next time.

Called for lunch while out house hunting. Lovely food, definitely more restaurant quality than pub food. Gastropub would definitely describe. Look up country pub and there should be a picture of this! It has a decent car park, plastic holders outside containing printouts of various walking routes. The loos are clean and well equipped (you know what I mean, girls!). There's a lovely fireplace and various signs for music nights etc. I'd probaly move here based on the pub alone! Service was excellent and the food delicious, slightly expensive but not overpriced. Menu had lots of options and specials on the board.

A true country pub, lovely setting and staff, great food. An Italian friend thought the capuccino was excellent!

Excellent stay, wonderful warm friendly welcome, modern, fresh room which was spotless, and spacious. Bed was extremely comfortable. Lovely village pub, the food was absolutely excellent . Imogen and the team were friendly , nothing was too much trouble.

Had a lovely stay. Location nice a quiet, Staff friendly and helpful, food and drink really nice.

Me and my mum stayed at the Scotts Arms Inn for 4 nights in June 2024. We absolutely loved it there and will definitely be coming back. Our whole experience of the inn was fantastic. The rooms were beautiful, clean and comfortable, the service from all staff was outstanding and the food (breakfast, evening meals and Sunday roasts) was incredible. I didn't want to leave! I highly recommend visiting the Inn!

Sunday lunch at 4.30 - lovely ambience - good choice although unusually only turkey left on the roasts that day. Definitely recommend.

Great campervan stop over. Very quiet and delicious food.

Food was OK, service was excellent

I enjoyed the meal i chose well as for the beer first class

Great pub offering top quality food and selection of drinks. Several really nice walks from here with maps and instructions provided by the pub.

Beautiful country pub/restaurant in the village of Sicklinghall. Excellent choice of food & drinks, well managed and staff are friendly and efficient. Been several times & will return as often as we can!

Lovely rooms, friendly staff and the food was good ingredients, well cooked. You couldn't really ask for more.

Food and service were both fantastic!

A lovely location and attentive staff but a huge disappointment with the Sunday lunch the poor quality did not reflect the price because it's not cheap.! The desert came with cream that had gone off and was rancid! My partner did receive a glass of wine on the house to be fair but it failed to detract from a disheartening experience. I'm sorry but we wouldn't visit again.

Lovey, had a buttermilk chicken burger and fries. A slightly pricey for quality but I think you're paying a few more quid for the nice atmosphere. The staff were very nice and accommodating to me and my dog. As a side note the motown and soul music playing was really nice. Excellent taste.

Great food, staff, service and not badly priced. Lovely environment too. Not stayed overnight as yet.

Arrived after completing the 12k circular through Linton etc. Felt a little underdressed! We all had the open sandwich, it was delicious and the chips piping hot. Would definitely return.

Used to regularly frequent the Scotts Arms....always enjoyed it. Ted was always a great host. Then I moved North.....but always had it in mind to re visit. Met up with an old school pal last week and for me, it was a no brainer! Atmosphere was great.....food was great, as ever and the girl that served us couldn't have been more obliging. Just a shame I didn't get to catch up with Ted.....but I will do soon. Thanks guys.....you made a school reunion for two old guys even better!!

Nice place to stop off for a well earned drink after a lovely dog walk with friends

We finished the nearby 'Christmas Tree walk' here with a group drink and a few of us then managed to stay for dinner. Perfect cosy pub and restaurant and the food was brilliant too. We will look forward to returning.

Best cod loin I've had ... used to be a nice pub but now really nice pub and cracking restaurant... so far, i've tried cod loin, lamb rump and stuffed chicken breast.. lots of nice cheffy touches 👌.. pesto mash was amazing and their carrots 🥕 are plain cooked but really special tasting must be good local supply .... Also there is a ghost or two 🤔!

Amazing Sunday roast, best I’ve had! Great service, we got given extra gravy and pork crackling too. Will definitely be back.

We had family lunch today. We picked this as it is halfway between Mansfield & Newcastle. Warm, friendly pub. Great food, I have never had a steak pie like it, fish n chips plus fish pies. Sadly no room for pud!! We will come back for a meal again.

Definitely worth a visit! Had a lovely evening meal at this pub yesterday early evening. Food was fabulous. Great value for money. Didn’t stay in rooms

Fabulous first visit with our mum’s for the festive menu,absolutely fantastic meal and service plus a lovely festive atmosphere🎅🏻🎄

Been there many times and never disappointed.

Our walking group goes every Christmas for Lunch, our organiser told us all the prices for the food, it had gone up again the Fish Pie is now £18, she had looked at the Wrong menu it had said Pie £16 they wouldn’t let us have the meals for the price she looked at, so she’s cancelled we won’t be going there again, they are getting very greedy I know things have gone up but is taking it too far, usually around 25 of us so they will probably get some other mugs to pay it.

Excellent lunchtime visit, excellent food and service. Good parkingcandcwheelchair access.

Brilliant service. Warm festive traditional atmosphere. Well selected varied menu. Delicious food promptly served. Excellent.

Lovely staff, good food and nice ambiance.

Lovely food, great service and such a cozy place. Loved it!

Absolutely superb place, excellent food at reasonable prices (good portions too). Lovely staff. So cosy and comfortable. Been there quite a few times and will continue to do so. Favourite venue for birthdays, anniversaries etc or just a relaxing special meal treat. Never been disappointed.

Dined at the Scott's Arms for a celebratory meal. Had sirloin steak with chips. For the price, it was ok, not the most flavoursome of steaks, but nicely presented and cooked medium rare as requested.

Highly recommended. Great room, large shower room. Friendly staff. Excellent food.

Haven't been here for a while but has a lovely Sunday lunch last weekend. Nice atmosphere as quite busy as you'd expect on a Sunday. Enough veggie options for a Sunday menu and food was lovely. Fantastic chips too! Even took a doggy bag home for our canine friends who didn't join us on this occasion

Met with family for Sunday lunch lovely area and surroundings. The site was very busy but well looked after. Food was excellent my wife who is Coeliac commenter that one of the best meals she had had for ages. All the staff were helpful and pleasant and the atmosphere was very good.

Absolutely delicious venison pie with beautiful roast veg and Yorkshire pud 👌🏼

Only stopped for a drink and meet up with friends, but looks like a lovely pub in a great area. Plenty of parking space, outdoor seating, some covered. Seemed very popular.

A welcoming, friendly pub, lovely staff and delicious food. Stayed one night last weekend in a clean, modern, very comfortable room. Super place in a lovely location. Thank you. Will be back!

A lovely friendly pub, lovely people who run it and great rooms. We will be back and hopefully we will try the evening food as the breakfast was superb.

Food what alright but sausage undercooked and staff looked like they didn't want to be there!

Great pub. Really busy at 7:30 on a Wednesday night. Service was quite slow but it was very busy. Food was good. Dog friendly but we’d left ours at home!

Stayed overnight for family party in the next village. A lovely village pub, close to perfection in every way. Staff were welcoming, friendly and provided excellent service. Guest rooms have been recently refurbished and provide high quality en-suite accommodation: definitely exceeded expectations for rooms in a pub. For our evening meal the menu offered a range of typical pub grub plus some specials. Food was well presented, tasty and good sixed protions without being excessively large, as can be the case in many pubs, at reasonable prices. The breakfast menu offered a reasonable range of cooked options but no starters (cereals, fruit, granola, yoghurt etc.). I enjoyed my Royale (smoked salmon, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce). Would definitely recommend.

This pub is perfect in every way. Welcome, Rooms, Food. It even put some coffee shops to shame with its espresso!

Great pub! We stayed overnight in the car park in our motorhome. We ate in the pub for evening meal and breakfast - both were excellent. Lovely walks in the beautiful area surrounding -with the pub helpfully supplying the routes and maps to take! The staff were really friendly and I'm sure we'll be back. Thank you!

Excellent pub,been going to the Scotts Arms for years, and it never disappoints. Staff are very friendly, and the food is superb, and the ambience is everything you would expect from a country pub.

Excellent food, freshly cooked, served hot with veg that is not destroyed… allow campervan overnight in the large car park…. Thank you

Friendly warm welcome. Lovely food at a good price.

Picked this place as it was a good location for us. Ted and his team were super friendly and the food in the restaurant was great.

Food was not up to normal standard, may have been because it was busy but disappointed in fish special.. definitely wasn't red snapper which I ordered...was more like dry overcooked piece of cod with very hard broccoli. Wish I had ordered the pie which looked really nice

Food was very tasty, but small portions and way over priced. I had the steak and it was very tender and I know they are weighted before they're cooked, but it was very small. I had to have 2 desserts to feel full and I'm not a very big eater. I ordered a side salad without peppers due to a intolerance and when it came, the first thing I saw was green/red peppers. So she had to take it back. But the replacement came very quickly.

First time here, lovely food lovely staff will definitely be back

Very good atmosphere, good selection of beers

Had Sunday lunch today very impressed one of the nicest we have had in along time . Staff very attentive and all had a smile would highly recommend definitely be back soon

This pub has been around our family in which most of us have worked at one time or another. Staff and food are amazing. They don’t try to be something there not but walking in especially on a cold winters day feels like home. Love you all xxx

I had the chicken Caesar salad Fantastic. And I thoroughly enjoyed my dessert. The staff are helpful and friendly. The room is clean and tidy. Looks beautiful .

Good food, friendly staff in pleasant surroundings. Consistently good.

I've never stayed there but as a pub restaurant it's great

Lovely place to go for an evening meal. I've given the location 3 stars because the roads to Sicklinghall are rubbish. The pub itself is very nice.

Great Sunday lunch spot. Friendly staff and food was delicious.

Always have a lovely fresh cooked meal when we visit. Staff are very friendly and approachable.

Super-helpful staff - Hayley could not have been more helpful when we got stranded. Beer is excellent and the food first rate. Best fish pie outside of my wife’s kitchen. If you’re looking for a friendly place to eat, drink and chill, you’ll find it here. Well done to all at the Scott’s Arms - and special thanks again to Hayley.

Recommended to us by a local , we had lunch there and it was really good, so we went back and had dinner and breakfast, both which were equally as good , staff friendly and helpful , also dog friendly , some lovely walks for which the pub supply maps, worth a try.

Enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch with all the trimmings. Sweets were a delight too!

Dined here on Father's Day. The restaurant was busy, as expected. Service fantastic and the steak pie is one of the best I've ever had!

Love it here! Keep coming back again and again. Some lovely walks to the pub and dog friendly too. Even my hard to please father loves it - sign of a great pub due to the service and food (so tasty).

Been in and out of here for nearly 30 years.. Food was very good, happy to say we all enjoyed it

I didn’t realise that the Scott’s arms have a place at the back in which they sell ESSE stoves, it’s like an Aladdin’s cave. Well I have bought a 155 stove and I love it as do my 3 dogs, Simon fitted it, had done a fab job and installed a carbon monoxide alarm all included in the price. I highly recommend going and having a look round.

Had a lovely lunch with friends, very friendly staff, would definitely return. Highly recommend.
