The Castle Arms Inn in Hambleton

We stayed for 3 nights and ate every night ,the food was very tasty and we enjoyed it. Unfortunately we were slighly disappointed with our room, details were missed ,a lightbulb needed replacing and when I opened our curtain in the morning the window sealant around the panes had dripped and not been removed which looked extremely unpleasant. There was a loose tile in the shower. There were no hand towels only on that day When I mentioned the bulb and window to the staff on Tuesday afternoon they said that they would sort it out which they hadn't done when we returned on Wednesday. We felt that the room wasn't up to superior standard as expected . On the plus side the room and bathroom were toasty warm, the water perfectly warm and the towels very soft. The breakfast cooks were very good as were the breakfasts and Tia who served us our meal Monday and Wednesday evening was excellent.

Had a lovely meal at The Castle Arms in Snape recently. I had a burger and the chips were amazing! Got to say they were the best chips I have EVER eaten. I couldn't manage to eat them all but even when they were nearly cold, they were SO crispy. My friend had fish pie with "just cooked right" veg. The pie would have fed two!. Nice bottle of Sauvignon too. Friendly, helpful staff. We also met Marley the cute Labrador puppy. Only one comment, it was a bit cool in the dining room but it was a cold night. Will definitely return. Thank you everyone at the Castle Arms for an enjoyable evening. We will be bringing our friends.

Despite slow service the food was good also the choices were good ! Haddock and chips very tasty but vegetables with the lovely fish pie were in need of more attention and had a funny taste, also a bit hard; a shame because main dishes and chips were great !

We ate in the dining room which was lovely. The food was very tasty and the rhubarb and parkin trifle was exceptional. The service was a little slow given the pub and restaurant were not full. It did not matter to us but if we had something else on that afternoon we might have been getting a little anxious.

The new owner & staff of The Castle Arms Inn were exceptional, so friendly & accommodating, a big thanks to Adrian, Louisa & Derrick for a great stay. The Castle Arms Inn is a proper traditional country pub with good ale. Our room was well maintained & well equipped. The breakfast was first class, all good quality ingredients & definitely a one that sets you up for the day. The Castle Arms had a good selection on their evening menu, along with the addition of a specials board, the food was well cooked & tasty. The Castle Arms is set in a very quiet village, however it is within easy access to many larger towns & a short drive from the A1. Highly recommend.

Not many places serve till 7pm on a Sunday so called in after a busy day, so glad we did. Only a handful of people in, the lady that served us was polite. We had a main meal each and desert to finish. Genuinely it was top class in all ways, luckily we live only a few mile away and will be back. We so many pubs shutting, this pub should, and deserves, supporting.

I stayed here with my daughter and 2 grandchildren for 1 night. The hotel is lovely and everybody was very helpful and nothing was too much bother. In the morning at breakfast due to bad weather the chef was unable to get to the hotel however they all pulled together and breakfast was excellent. They had a big shooting party in and coped with a stressful situation very professionally. I hope to return one day but would recommend highly to anyone visiting this lovely area.

Lovey meal, very warm and welcoming environment and dog friendly. Will definitely be coming back, thank you.

Only one member if staff serving so it felt a bit uncomfortable. Why not employ a young student to help with service ? The chicken breast was more the size of a pigeon breast and the filling dry. The dessert left a lot to be desired . No background music. No real atmosphere except a feeling of tension as understaffed

Amazing weekend stay, great location for all the north Yorkshire attractions, stayed in one of the rooms in the courtyard area of the castle arms Inn, clean, spacious and welcoming. Had an outstanding evening meal and breakfast the following morning, home made cooked food and the landlady/owner, staff and Merlin the dog, where just great, looking forward to returning soon.

We were greeted by a friendly chap who took us to the outhouse conversion. Lovely appointed barn conversion rooms. The atmosphere in this local pub was great. Food is excellent and tasty. Breakfast looked a little on the small side but actually with the quality ingredients turned out to be perfect. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Arrived for a two night stay as two couples for my brother-in-laws 70th birthday. 17-9-22 Only to find they had only booked 1 room and didnt have another room available. The female owner was not appologetic at all and didnt think there was anything wrong with their booking system. Needless to say we wont be going back.

We have dined here and stayed many times and the food and accomodation has always been good. What isnt good is Jills dog it has problems with other dogs and weve had a few close calls with Merlin and ours. Well this visit he managed to get hold of my Bernese and bit her face, chasing her round our table and even under a couples table next to us, who were eating as well and totally traumatised by the whole experience. The lad behind the bar managed to get him away but again the dog was snapping and snarling at him. I wrote to Jill on messenger and she wrote back and apologized and said she would investigate. Still heard nothing from her about the investigation or even asking how my dog is after the bite narrowley missed her eye just had teeth marks either side. Well if your reading this shes recovered ok after some eye cream and TLC but its a good job shes not a show dog or her career would be over...

My hubby and I went to celebrate my birthday we were not disappointed. Despite the owner being absent on well deserved annual leave Ben and Dakota and the kitchen staff did an amazing job on a busy Friday. Friendly staff great food at affordable prices. Snape is lovely we went to visit the Chapel lots of history. Lovely Courtyard bedrooms very comfortable bed and fabulous breakfast 😋 will be back

Wide-ranging menu with great individual touches. Lovely atmosphere and efficient service with a smile. We were staying nearby and ate here two evenings running

Paul and Yolanda Great Location, Very Friendly, Fabulous Food, Good Beer We stayed at The Castle Arms Inn for 4 nights. We had a lovely break. The breakfasts were extremely good, lots of choice and excellent service. We ate here for 2 evenings evenings as well and was excellent .The rooms were warm, clean, well equipped and comfortable. The location was very good and a great base for seeing local places of interest .We've had a lovely, relaxing time. We would recommend this Inn and are going to stay again in March '22 and we are really looking forward to it.stay Thank you to Jill and her staff who were all very welcoming and friendly.

My family ate here for 4 nights in February, when staying nearby. The food is really great, and good value for money. I asked the steak to be cooked a certain way and they were happy to oblige. Really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend it.

Nice inn good food reasonably priced as well, friendly and helpful staff , must say though for a superior double room it was on the small side, not much space around the bed and bathroom was also small, the main problem for us was the heating , it was obviously set by the owners to come on at certain times , went for two nights. You cannot check in until four thirty onwards then we went into a very cold room and it took a while to slightly warm the room up, the house keeper kept opening our window, the window had a draft and so did the door , I ended up ringing up on our second day as the heating was stone cold one of the owners said she thought it had been reset( it hadn’t) to come on , woke up each morning absolutely freezing. Pub is actually closed until four thirty every day so pointless getting there to early, we kept our key when we went out as not sure if we could of got back into our room before that time, the other problem was the walk from the back of the pub to the accommodation some ten yards away ,with it being dog friendly on our way for breakfast we was met by loads of wee and some dog poo in the morning, my wife and I was genuinely looking forward to this visit and if been in summer may of been better but we was sadly very disappointed with the accommodation but the pub food etc was good.

We stayed at The Castle Arms Inn for 3 nights. We had a lovely break. The breakfasts were extremely good, lots of choice and excellent service. We ate here all three evenings as well and although the menu wasn't too extensive everything we had was extremely well done and we didn't struggle to make a selection. The rooms were warm, clean, well equipped and comfortable. The location was very good and a great base for seeing local places of interest without having to drive miles and miles every day. We've had a lovely, relaxing time. We would recommend this Inn and would stay there again. Thank you to Jill and her staff you were all very welcoming and friendly.

Stayed here with friends on the way to Edinburgh and was this was an ideal place to break the journey. Very pretty village and good car parking was a welcome sight. Surprised that it wasn’t open all day but the owner showed us the rooms and left a drink in the bar to collect so no problem. Food was very good, and good choice of beverages. Bed was a bit hard but room was good standard for the money. Special mention to Merlin the dog who greeted us with great affection! Would definitely stay here again.

We recently celebrated our wedding at the Ashbrook arms in October 2020. Sean and Roszita were very welcoming & accommodating, particularly as we were scheduling the wedding less than 10 days before the date (Due to Covid levels changing!) Our guests (21 adults & 2 children) enjoyed a drinks & canape reception, while we took several photographs on the grounds of the hotel. Our photographer was delighted with the ample locations for shots including the courtyard, walled passage, Green house, & river, resulting in many fabulous shots! Our speeches were held before the meal in the initial dining area before proceeding to the conservatory for our 5 course reception. We were blown away with the standard of food, and choice on the menu. We hadn’t had time to schedule in a meal or tasting in advance, but we were assured by friends and family that the food was good! In addition Sean catered for food intolerances with ease as the Bride had some dietary requirements. The conservatory was the perfect room for an intimate group, and made for a very elegant dining space with the assistance of a local florist . On the night there was only our wedding party staying and we enjoyed the run of the hotel with a leisurely breakfast the following day. Everything about the day was relaxed and comfortable. We would highly recommend the Ashbrook Arms as a wedding venue for any couple planning a small wedding.

Last minute booking and what a find. Pleasant welcome at reception. Room was quirky and clean. Covid measures in place. Food was amazing and the lady that served our table was a gem. We have found a wonderful place to stay. Totally relaxing, just what we needed. We will return again. Oh and a Four in a Bed winner. Well deserved.

Mine and my wife's family went to eat here yesterday we all ordered stakes and my wife had a chicken burger all of it was amazing the chips was the best I've had in a long time no one left anything!!! Then the pudding i had chocolate fudge so lovely the chocolate melted in my mouth Great place definitely will be going again!!

On the positive side the staff could not have been more friendly- however the service was extremely slow. We were there for 2 hours and managed to have one course. By this time it was 9.30 and we really didn't want to wait any longer for the dessert.The main issue for me was the way Covid is being handled. The seating is just about the correct distancing which considering the room size is an achievement. Unfortunately when someone leaves the table it is merely wiped over with a dry cloth before the next group are given the table. Also on the tables are salt, pepper and vinegar- again possibly used by the previous group and which are not wiped or replaced. Menus are also freely passed from one group to another. Having eaten in several pubs since lockdown ended this is certainly the worst for not complying with the recommendations for preventing the spread of Covid.In these current times I personally would feel uncomfortable going back.

Looking for somewhere to eat on a Sunday that served food a bit later in the evening. This place was fab - great food, nicely presented - served by a lovely lad who did a great job all round. Would definitely recommend.

What a fabulous place! Jill is the perfect host. Food is delicious (try the steak pie or fish pie!) and breakfast fills you up for the day. Lovely seating areas inside and out. Great rooms with generous hospitality tray. Locals very friendly too.Good location for the Dales and the Moors. 10 mins from the A1.Give it a try - you won’t be disappointed. I’ll be back soon, thanks Jill!

Popped in on a whim- stayed for dinner. Gem of a place. Lovely tea- we had fish & chips and steak and ale pie. Went down a treat. Lovely landlady-Jill. Had a great chat. If you’re out this way- pop in. Worth it.

We went to the castle arms inn on 22nd and the 23rd December. The inn was perfect , staff were lovely and helpful. We took our labrador Milly and we took her into the bar area where we had a lovely meal /drinks and breakfast. Staff and customers made her very welcome. Our room was on the small side but there was everything there for us..The rooms were separate from the inn and it was very quiet , which is just how we like our breaks away. The castle arms inn is perfectly situated for Brinham Rocks, Fountain Abbey and Thorpe Perrow.

Stayed here with friends for 2 nights while visiting the Sheep fair at Masham. Warm friendly welcome - the rooms were excellent with very comfy beds. A lot of thought has obviously gone into the decor. We had a brilliant evening meal - try the steak and ale pie. My husband and friend said it was the best they had tasted. Other meals were the steak and roast chicken and mushroom risotto which we couldn't fault. Extremely pleasant waitress and bar staff and friendly locals. Enjoyed the hand pulled beers on offer. Breakfasts really set you up for the day - all freshly cooked to order. We have all agreed to come back again in the summer when we will be able to enjoy relaxing in the delightful garden area and taking gentle strolls through this pretty village.

What else is there to say? Excellent accomodation, excellent food and such a friendly atmosphere from the staff particularly Lorna.

My family (along with our dog) and I visited the Castle Arms Inn based on the reputation of a previous visit by my parents.Unfortunately, it felt like there needs to be a brush up on the basics of customer service.The young lady on front of house seemed pleasant enough regarding our request as to whether we could have a table. As there were four of us, there wasn't a table available at the time. This, in itself, wasn't the issue.The issue was with the bar manager/owner whose attitude gave the impression of, at best, couldn't be bothered with our request or, at worst, smacked of not wanting myself and my family to be there.As somebody who works in the customer service sector, I have an appreciation of civility and it would have been nice to at least had an offer of drinks whilst we waited for a table to become available. (A case of what my parents say in "Manners cost nothing").Needless to say, the lack of hospitality made us feel unwelcome and we ended up going to the town of Bedale... who made us feel more than welcome for our lunch along with our four legged family member.

Always use this pub as a half way point in a long journey. I had the burger with sweet potato fries and it tasted amazing. I asked for garlic mayonnaise and the lady who served us said they didn’t have any but would make some for me. fantastic service and attentive staff!

Chose this place mainly because they are dog friendly and also the photos on the website looked nice. I called and the gentleman who I think is the owner was very friendly and suggested we could just turn up as it would be a little quiet tonight. So we did and he was just as lovely in person. First impressions were great. They allow dogs in the bar area which is just as lovely and cosy as the restaurant itself. All the candles and light music made the ambience perfect. However it did feel cold in the room where we were sat but when I asked if it was possible to light our fire in the room we were told no it was too late in the day to do so. Not such a big deal but I do think having both fires lit on such a cold day would be better. The food was really delicious. Good menu choice also. The owner was fantastic and the service and welcome he provided was excellent. The only reason I gave a score less than excellent is the waitress that served us didn’t seem to be very hospitable or genuinely happy we were there despite us being one of only 2 tables.She just made us feel that after our main meal she wanted us to get the bill. We stayed for dessert anyway but when I asked for the hot drink list she replied with well we do tea and coffee that’s it and also a little abruptly. We all felt that this place has so many positives but maybe in future the waitress could just try to be more like the owner and be more hospitable,welcoming and friendly. Maybe it was just an off day but regardless it was a shame as we all felt this spoilt the place a little. However I can say if you are looking for a lovely country pub that is dog friendly, has great decor and delicious food this is a good place to go.

Five of us stayed for two nights and had dinner one evening and enjoyed breakfast on two mornings. The landlord, Ian, is very friendly, helpful and accommodating. The pub itself is quite quaint with seating areas near the bar and the restaurant in a separate room. There was one fire lit in one of the bar areas but its effect was quite limited so the place did not feel very cosy. Our dinner and breakfasts were good and portion sizes were generous. Our bedrooms were located in an annexe building separate from the pub itself. The bedroom my wife and I occupied was small and cramped with a tiny en-suite bathroom. The hand wash basin was very small, barely adequate. The room itself was very warm and hot water was plentiful. Parking is at the rear of the pub. The pub itself is centrally located in the pretty village of Snape.

Having extolled the virtues of this pub since first visiting in 2016, we were really looking forward to our repeat vacation in Snape and eating again at the Castle Arms. Sadly, on the 2 occasions we attempted to eat there this week, the unfriendly waitress gave the impression that she would have preferred it if we had not interrupted her busy evening. In fact, on the 2nd occasion, we were left waiting nearly an hour to place an order and we were offered nothing to tide us over in the meantime, not even a friendly smile. In the end, we gave up and left, hungry and disappointed. What a huge disappointment after having looked forward to our return visit for 2 years!

We stayed in Bedale but decided to drive over to Snape, good choice! This is a super old traditional village Pub with excellent food and hand pulled beer. We both had very good starters and mains served by friendly helpful staff. Highly recommended.

Found this pub after visiting the Arboretum at Thorpe Parrow, set in a quant village of Snape the pub was a lovely find.

Dining room was too dark.we couldn't read the menu.6.30pm the room was stone flagged.shrubs were growing over the windows.this meant the room was cool to cold.no heating on.no log fire lit.2 of us had the pie which was very good.1had the burger a little dry.1 had the full with cus cus.ok but the cus cus was cold.overall not bad but could have been better.

Stayed at castlearms inn for 2 nights. Rooms were very clean and comfortable, food was excellent, lunch, evening meal and breakfast. The landlord was very welcoming and friendly. Also girls who made up rooms and served breakfast were also very helpful.

Stayed here on a Travelzoo special offer. Very nicve rooms in quiet location. Would deifinitely come again. Convenient for visiting the Black Sheep Brewery in Masham

Great setting, rooms in converted barn around a courtyard, meaning there was a pleasant place to sit out. Staff very friendly, food good. Pub just a little bit dark

Situated in the quiet and picturaesque village of Snape the pub has the nicest atmosphere of any we have visited in the area (and we are regular visitors to this part of the world so have visited a good many!). The pub and restaurant areas are characterful and ìnformal and although some of the furnishings in the outside area could do with a lick of varnish the area itself is well secluded and a charming place to eat lunch on a hot summer day. The landlord was very welcoming with an easy charm and quick sense of humour so our party of 6 plus two dogs were made to feel at home as soon as we stepped through the door.

Some confusion over our booking but this was very well handled by the hotel management, who were pleasant & helpful throughout our stay. Bedrooms are on the small side, but comfortable & well equipped. Breakfast was good, a great range of options and well prepared, though some local fresh seasonal fruit would have been a nice touch.

My husband and I happened upon this pub today. It's situated in the very picturesque village of Snape. We decided to pop in for a drink and sat in the very pretty beer garden. As it was so nice and we had been welcomed so warmly we stayed for lunch. We had fish and chips and steak and ale pie which were both superb - pub grub at it's finest. Pleased we chose to not have a starter as the portions are very generous. I would highly recommend The Castle Arms and we will definitely return. Thank you for a wonderful lunch.

Went here over the weekend when we stayed at the pirate glamping up the road. We went for drinks on the Friday and Saturday we went to watch the england match, food and drinks. The owner was a lovely man very helpful. Very cheerful and made the place seem really welcoming. The food was amazing. We had fish and chips and onion rings. No faults at all. The courtyard beer garden out the back was very idyllic. Lovely to sit in. Would defiantly recommend to go if friends were in the area.

We have just returned from a lovely overnight stay in this delightful hotel.

Wij hebben hier op een dinsdagavond en een donderdagavond gegeten.

We were staying in Snape at The Castle Mews and ate in The Castle Arms for 1 lunch and 2 dinners. The food on all 3 occasions was top notch, well presented, freshly cooked meals with great staff. Will be back

this is a lovely pub in a beautiful yorkshire village,the food was great, the only thing that was missing was just the finishing touches, table mats on the table not having the table set out properley, and sat looking at white rings on the table from hot plates did not give the impression of good presentation.The staff were very helpful and full of imformation about he menu,but one member who was clearly not quite up to serving multipel tables at one time left us hanging about and woundering where our food was.Overall a lovely pub but could just do with a bit of tweeking

Fabulous place in a beautiful historic village. Well worth a visit any time of the year. Beautiful setting and lovely food. Open fires and dog friendly.

Lovely location, good food, clean rooms but rock hard beds and poor customer service. We were booked for 2 nights but got little sleep the first night so politely asked to change rooms. Was told we couldn't as that would have meant more work for them. Was told no one had ever complained before. We wanted to leave as it was so bad but were told we'd still be charged for 2 nights. No refund offered. Very expensive weekend spoiled by landlady's poor attitude.

We ate here two nights in a row on a trip to North Yorkshire and loved the food. Whoever's in the kitchen knows what they're doing. And the service is fast and efficient. Well worth a detour if you're in the area.

We last ate here five years ago following a visit to the nearby arboretum. The Inn has now changed hands, and after another arboretum visit we were delighted with the welcome, the service and the food at the Inn. Won't wait another five years!

Sunshine and unseasonable warmth borne ahead of hurricane Ophelia showed the beautiful autumn colours around Snape at their best. After a long walk, a drink in the open in front of the pub, followed by a delicious Sunday roastie made for a grand day out. Even the house dog, Reilly, kept our hound company when the food was served.

We met friends for dinner with our 2 border collies. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. We will return for special occasions as it was a little more pricey than an average pub meal, but it was worth it.

Lovely setting and well worth visiting. Rooms are very clean and have all you need, nothing wanting. Food is great as is the menu plus the staff are helpful and polite Breakfast is really lovely and well presented with a good selection. We will be coming back , and Bedale is really worth a visit

By word of mouth we visited the Castle Arms to try their Sunday lunch. We were met with a very friendly welcome by the owner and impressed by the olde worlde charm and cosiness of this village inn. The beautifully cooked choice of beef, park...

An olde World pub worth going out of your way to fine. Very much in keeping with this beautiful village....

Lovely village pub - very friendly staff , lovely setting and very cosy, evening meal was stunning !!

This dog friendly Inn is open to non residents for breakfasts and or evening meals and serves a good varied menu of freshly prepared lovely cooked food and drinks at very good value. Well worth eating or drinking here (Jennings Thwaites and Ringwood beer on draught) and nice wines and spirits also. A very friendly landlord and attentive staff made it a pleasure to visit.

Came here a couple of times as we were staying in the village. Staff were friendly and service was good. First time I had the burger, which was very nice. Second time, my wife and I both had the steak and ale pie. Unfortunately, both of pies were Luke warm and we had to return them. However the New pies were good. Premises allow well behaved dogs which is a bonus. Best to reserve a table if dining there at weekends

Stumbled upon this little gem on a day out,Lovely pub in a lovely village.Good choice on the menu, our table ordred several dishes and not one was a disappointment . All cooked well, presentation was good and all tasted delicious.If you are out that way or passing call in to be welcomed by friendly staff, the resident dog and enjoy a relaxing drink /meal.

I think Kath S & Ann Smyth must have stayed in a different hotel to my self & my 5 cousins, the food was excellent, the bedrooms were very clean and well kept. The staff were very accommodating and polite. We all enjoyed our overnight stay and would defiantly recommend this hotel. It has the added bonus of being in a lovely little villagetypical of Yorkshire.

The welcome was warm and efficient. My daughter and I had booked a twin room which was immaculate and very cosy with thought being given to the lay out and the facilities. We stayed 2 nights and ate at the pub both nights. The food was delicious and, to use one of the owner's, Ian's phrase, its served in Yorkshire portions!! The owners, Ian and Lisa and all the staff were lovely and helpful including the friendly and cute Border Terrier, Riley! We will be back and look forward to enjoying the hospitality and the area very soon.

I visited tonight with my son on a living social voucher, from Christmas.I have visited hundreds of dining establishments over my years through work and home life. I must say that tonight's service was below substandard. The waitress had little regard for the fact the potatoes was not cooked, to which she then lied about asking to take them back. The food in its self was less than average.The manager refused to give me a receipt for my card transaction, saying that no one ever asks for a receipt for contactless and he's never been offered one. He stated I was being aggressive over asking for something no one ever offers or gives. I find that strange that most other places always do. I would never visit this place again and say to any future possible customers avoid avoid avoid

A lovely village pub that was warm,welcoming,and serving delicious homemade food.We had TZ voucher that enticed us here to this lovely area( on the door step of Thorp Perrow) which is highly recommended.Cosy atmosphere with real fires and candles, there was a separate dining area away from the bar.The menu had lots of lovely sounding dishes,we had the fish pie and steak pie both excellent,with huge portions.A great experience.

We had Sunday lunch here which was very good. Roast beef and of course Yorkshire pudding. Loads of veg. Desserts were delicious too. Nice country pub ambience and friendly staff. Will certainly visit again.

My mum got me and my hubby a meal here on a travel zoo voucher for Xmas. When I went to the website and saw it was a dog friendly pub we decided to make a night of it so we could have a few drinks. The welcome was lovely and the room was so cute, spotlessly clean with plenty of pure white fresh towels. We had a table reserved in the bar by the open fire. No phone signal and wifi was down but it was bliss just to sit and chat the night away. Our two course meal was stunning! And breakfast the next day was delicious! I'd definitely come back here.

Outstanding food well worth the drive! My wife and I had this place earmarked for a spot of lunch and it didn't disappoint the food and service were first class.

I was really disappointed in this inn. Was in a village with nothing round about it. The room had spiders webs , towels were not changed just hung up to dry. Hogmanay celebrations were non existent , crisps or nuts on tables would have been suffice. Owners wondered why pub was quiet at 12 mn. Maybe cause no effort was made. Breakfast was cold but on a positive note evening meal was very good. Couldn't stay second night due to family illness but wasn't disappointed leaving early. No rose wine available after first bottle !!! Sorry but won't return

This was our friends local so an easy walk and stagger back! I had steak and ale pie, there was plenty of it but it was a little salty. Landlord (Ian) and staff were friendly, the waitress was our friends neighbour!Stayed on for the quiz and chatted with the locals, nice to see well behaved dogs allowed. An attractive pub in a pretty village, recommended.

My wife and I have just returned from a week's holiday in the small village of Snape and we enjoyed two great meals at this lovely pub. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Being dog-friendly that was a bonus too. We had a delicious Sunday roast and then having chatted to a local returned to take part in their pub quiz on the Tuesday evening. We had a meal before the quiz started and that was excellent too. We had a great evening, the quiz was just for fun, no entry fee and therefore prizes and we had a very enjoyable evening. Wish we had a local pub like this on our doorstep.. Will definitely return again.

Not eaten here for a long time but decided to have lunch out in the garden. We ate in what we thought was a smart arbour which happened to be the smoking area. Hah! Too good for smokers & perfect for a group of people. We ordered a variety of dishes between us including a child's portion of spaghetti bol. Very impressed with the quality of the food & definitely value for money. Great place for lunch & dog friendly too.

A great place to stay and the evening meals are outstanding with a varied menu.The breakfasts were some of the best I have had and we enjoyed sitting in the charming courtyard behind the pub for drinks on a warm afternoon.

The food here was great. I as always played safe with the burger which was as good as any I've had, my wife had the duck which was perfectly cooked. I had to then try the chocolate sundae which was made with brymor ice cream and was beautiful.

Sudden decision to visit, asked for well done Roast Beef and this was presented well with fresh Yorkshire Puddings and 'proper' roast potatoes. Had not checked what the seasonal vegetable were as all three were on my 'not liked' list, so left.Service was friendly and surroundings nice,however, one course lunch was £9.75 whilst in adjacent town a three course was £7.95!Would we go again? Possibly but would check on the vegetables before ordering.

The pub was lovely but the food disappointing. I had salmon and it was presented on a bed of undercooked beans with some tiny tomatoes and a few very small roast potatoes. Friends had pork chops that were fatty and the meat tough. Not very friendly staff. Would not go back.

This is a charming a very tastefully decorated pub with rooms. The accommodation is beautifully decorated and situated in a separate building behind the pub through a lovely beer garden. The bar was intimate and very welcoming and the breakfast was excellent.The village is quiet but picturesque and a short drive or taxi to the local town of Masham.This was great value for money and I would highly recommend it.

We went to the Castle Arms today for Sunday dinner. We have been several times & are never disappointed. Always get a good down to earth greeting from Ian the landlord, & always get a superb fresh cooked Sunday lunch. Excellent quality once again.Keep it up guys !

Nice pub in a lovely village setting.We called in for a quick lunch on a rainy April afternoon.Two nice real fires. Nice seating areas.Pleasant welcome.Nice sandwiches for lunch, at the top end of Dales pub prices.The real ale , from the Marstons range, was acceptable.

As we were 9 and it was a Saturday we booked earlier that day. The staff were friendly and helpful. A good choice of menu , with good vegetarian options. Candle lit tables. All very pleasant.

My husband and I spent two nights at this warm and comfortable village pub. The room was small, but well equipped and very quiet and we enjoyed great hospitality from the hard working owners. Evening meals in the pub restaurant were excellent and of a very high quality with the menu changing every day. Breakfasts were cooked to order and substantial. The staff all focussed on making sure we enjoyed our stay and this was a good value short break in a very attractive village surrounded by glorious North Yorkshire countryside.

We have just spent another 2 nights at this lovely pub , The room again was warm and cosy , lovely fluffy towels, and so quiet and peaceful even though the inn is just across the cobbled yard . Ian and Lisa are so friendly we feel at home straight away , as for our jack Russell she loves it and spends all her time racing round with Riley ,the food is really good and not a bad price , we can not fault this place , thank you so very much Ian and Lisa we will be back

My friend and I went for lunch with 5 young children in tow. Staff could not have been more friendly and welcoming. Food amazing. Even the childrens' meals cooked fresh to order. Shall be returning. Highly recommend.

I've stayed here for a long weekend in February. The pub was warm, the welcome friendly and the room adequate. The food was excellent. Snake is a good place from which to see parts of the Yorkshire Dales, visit Fountains Abbey, and Ripon and Harrigate. It is a lovely unspoilt village

This place is plain lovely. The food is terrific, the bar and restaurant are superbly comfortable and the welcome is warm and cheery. A perfect place for Sunday lunch. Delicious. Be hungry though!

The restaurant is open Tuesday to Sunday for lunch and dinner. Both menus are varied enough for a stay at the inn, and the selection is well suited to three courses or a sandwich, even vegetarians are catered for. We ate dinner three times and lunch once, each meal was excellently cooked and presented.

Made to feel very welcome by Ian and Lisa We stayed just 1 night but would have liked to stay longer. The food was amazing and the chef John had only been there 1 week but he made fabulous food. I had fish pie which was deconstructed, 3 types of fish and separate mash but it was the best I've ever had. The room and bathroom were wonderful and the bed so comfy and the duvet was just like our own. Will be back no problem. Thanks guys x

Stayed here for one nite,at end of October,a lovely pub with excellent rooms,and nice little courtyard.The food was very good and very well priced,and the staff very good and bump into some nice regulars as well,the reason we stayed was it is very dog friendly and the owners were first class,it's a must stay or a visit if in the area, Superb stay!!!!!!

Stayed for three nights while at a festival, stunning little hotel, beautiful surroundings, run by a friendly family who made us feel at home, couldn't do enough for us. The rooms are just gorgeous and absolutely spotless. The food here was home cooked, reasonably priced, the breakfast was perfect for those either wanting a good fry up after a hard night out, or those wanting a full belly for the day ahead. This little hotel is set in the beautiful countryside and the gardens are a pleasure to sit in. Will definitely return

Rooms are tastefully decorated, beds very comfortable, breakfast is amazing, Ian and Lisa are perfect hosts, accommodating our every need. We'll be returning soon.

There is a fairly standard looking pub menu, but with the additional provision of a number of interesting specials. Even the dishes from the main menu come with a finesse, good quality ingredients and a genuine consideration of taste. Service was quick and efficient. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful and the pub is an interesting building which has been refurbished to a high standard with cluttering it up or losing the original character. Sadly they serve the bland and sweet Ringwoods Bitter, but there is a draft alternative beer and I'm sure that, as the landlord says, therer are some people who actually like Ringwood's beers ! Dogs are welcomed.

We stayed on the camp site behind the pub for 3 nights in our caravan. It's a bit tight to get in but definitely manageable. The hosts and staff are extremely friendly. The pub has good beer and great food. On our last night we had the filet steak - absolutely gorgeous and cooked to perfection! The village is lovely and is a great base to explore the surrounding countryside.

My daughter recently booked us in here for a two night break. A lovely pub tucked away in a lovely little village. Very comfortable rooms and excellent breakfast. We ate in the pub one of the nights and had a lovely meal. Lots of outdoor seating as well both in front of and behind the pub. Would definitely recommend it to friends.

We were warmly welcomed and perused the menu whilst we had a drink. Our starters were chicken gougons - my husband said they were the best he had ever tasted - and king prawns. I didn't expect them to be in their shells, but a finger bowl was provided and they were delicious. we both had the steak and ale pie for mains - be prepared to be amazed. Wonderful ! Couldn't mange a sweet. The only down side is that we were so full, we felt unable to eat there the next night ! (Closed on Mondays )

Snape near Bedale - a pretty little village not far from Bedale & Masham. The Castle Arms Inn has a lovely terrace/beer garden which we used each evening. A few doors away was a 'foodie's paradise' delicatessen store which we visited on the day we left for local delicacies. We also visited Snape Chapel which we found interesting, Ripon Market & had a journey on the old railway from Bedale to Leyburn.

This is a very friendly comfortable Inn with superb accommodation, good quality food . Would have like to have stayed longer

Having previously stayed here on a couple of occasions we decided to have dinner here.can only say that the tomato and red pepper soup was delicious as was the steak and ale pie, this is a lovely country pub.welcoming staff, well worth a visit. We'll certainly be back.

We were staying with friends at the pub for two nights and ate in the restaurant both nights. The menu was very interesting with a choice of more unusual dishes than in the average pub. Two of us had herb crusted salmon where the herbs were so thick they overpowered the salmon and had to be scraped off to make it palatable. We mentioned this to the waitress but there was no feed back. The second night I had a below average lasagne,very basic with little meat. The other three meals ranging from a salad to a fillet steak were o.k. but nothing special. Sadly a bit disappointing. The English breakfasts we had were exceptionally good with a great choice.

We visited The Castle Arms inn whilst staying at Castle Mews cottages. The food was excellent and cooked to order. The even came to ensure we were happy with the food.
