The Coach House in Craven

When we walked in the staff were very polite. However when i went to the bar to order food there was a young girl near me who got shouted at by a member of staff while they where behind the bar, Very unprofessional !! And some of the things she said were awful overall the food was okay, we will return hoping its a more friendly experience next time.

After a long journey by train from Kent I booked a table for four for 7.pm. Friday 19th July ,after waiting nearly one and half hours for the main course ,the food was well below standard for pub food , the battered cod and chips was probably been frozen with the batter hard and the fish inside all mushy, the chips was very hard as well , and two other meals of chicken curry was swimming in tomato juice ,and looked very unappetising.

Fantastic food service, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere will definitely visit again ,can highly recommend the Coach House burger

Probably the busiest pub in Bentham, cracking ale and the bar staff were very polite and willing to take the time to chat with you, unlike another pub in the village. The decor in the pub also was outstanding, bet it has some proper history behind it!

Absolutely love the coach house! Such a nice and friendly environment with staff that make you feel welcome. The food is also gorgeous and such a nice chage for a rural pub to offer the variety of vegetarian food that they do.

Cycle trip round Forest of Bowland. Arrived wet and freezing cold. Welcome was brilliant. Very friendly, blankets to keep us warm and outside heaters. Excellent food and service. All staff great,Cora served us. Left repleat. Will definitely visit again. Thank you.

Excellent gluten free garlic mushrooms followed by gorgeous home made chips gluten free an fab steak. Chef listened to my every need. Would certainly recommend to coeliacs. Very attentive staff

Thoroughly enjoyed a visit recently to the Coach House for a meal. Great steak and ale pie ...absolutely delicious. Ample portion ...well presented and hot food. Friendly and welcoming staff. Highly recommend a visit.

2 consecutive evenings here with fab service even during the difficult restrictions - love the bell on the table idea! Lovely, hearty food in great surroundings and staff were really welcoming of our 5-month old Boxer puppy!!

Visited during the 'ear out help out' campaign so the lunch time menu was a little limited but still plenty to choose from. The chilli was lovely and avaialble on the kids menu. The burgers are great too. The staff were friendly and helpful and more than happy to assist if needed.

Visited on Saturday afternoon with family including our little boy. Waitress serving us was brilliant, especially with our little boy. Food - Beer battered bacon strips for 2 of our starters were delicious and just enough for a starter. Poached Egg with bacon crisp for my starter wasn't great, overcooked egg. Prawn Cocktail starter looked lovely. Mains...2 of us had pie of the week which were both yummy. Chicken in a pepper sauce came a bit like a stir fry. We expected a chicken breast but it is chicken pieces, in a spicy pepper creamy sauce. Delicious but hotter than expected. Other main was chilli, which was full of different beans but lovely and warming. **What a shame they do not have a baby changing table. 2 sets of toilets, some in the pub and some at the back yet there is not 1 baby changing table. Let down the whole place having to change my little boy on floor!!! Doesnt take much to put a table on a wall**

The food was delicios, the service was great and the staff are friendly.. The steak was cooked to perfection and management were very accommodating as we needed to change the time of our booking.

Sat having A meal with my three-year-old daughter and was appalled at the response of a couple having a meal complaining about a spiced chicken burger which was there on the menu and told them which spice was in it.To get complained that they had an allergy I was totally appalled at the couple that was eating and the landlord did the best he could tell him to please leave the premises

Booked for the family last minute and couldn’t have asked for anything better. Cozy atmosphere, very friendly staff. Social distancing and cleaning measures in place. Best vegetarian lasagne I’ve tasted in a pub. The burgers got the thumbs up too. Highly recommend. So nice we booked to return the next night

Excellent establoshment , well run great atmosphere exzellententer Gastgeber We shall most definetly return

Went in with family and dog for a drink and light meal and was not disappointed. Lovely warm, cosy bar and eating areas. Locals and other patrons were chatty and friendly. The member of staff on duty appeared to be on his own but was coping admirably, was professional, very welcoming and attentive. Food choices were limited but it was a Saturday afternoon hence just a 'lite' menu. Didnt see the full evening menu. The food was pretty standard pub grub, but was hot, plentiful and tasty. Football was on the TV (which was good) but it didnt overtake the whole bar and restaurant. A very pleasant couple of hours being fed and watered. Would visit again.

Lovely atmosphere,warm and cozy. Great food and service good value for money well worth a visit 👍😋

Not far from where we are staying in Bentham we decided to have a meal at The Coach House Inn. It’s a very dog friendly coaching inn dating back to 1625. It has a ‘olde worlde’ feel with traditional beamed ceilings and stone fire places. We though it was great, especially as we could take the woofers in with us. We had a fabulous dinner, our food was freshly cooked and delicious and both our dogs snoozed at our feet and made themselves at home while we ate. The staff are very attentive and friendly and I would definitely recommend this place for food if you ever visit this part of the Yorkshire Dales. Sticky toffee pudding was the best I’ve ever had.

As ever another great nights sleep , lovely immaculate rooms and facilities, and an amazing breakfast . A massive thanks to Karl and staff for keeping up high standards that make the coach house a great stay see you soon .

Walked in for a table for a family meal. Poorly greeted by staff who made us feel very unwelcome and an inconvenience. Disgusting, wouldn’t recommend

We wanted to visit last Thursday but restaurant was fully booked so we booked for tonight.There is a steak night every Thursday. £25 for 2 steaks (either rump or sirloin) and a bottle of wine.We opted for rump steak.The meat was very good and cooked as we requested. Very nice pepper sauce. Chips, mushroom, tomato, little salad were very nice too.I had a New York cheesecake to finish. It was very tasty as well. My wife also loved her cheesecake as well (a different one).We will return.

Myself , husband and family have been coming here for years and I have never thought to leave a review. Karl and Helen are the perfect hosts and the service and food is A*+.We dine here on quite a regular basis as a family and we have never had a bad meal.The food is plentiful , piping hot and beautifully presented. The prices are very reasonable and there is a restaurant as well as the bar area to eat.It's the same menu wherever you sit. Always lots of specials on the board , plenty of choices.Sunday is roast day, go hungry as the portions are very generous, The pub itself is beautiful , very clean and the letting rooms are lovely. Thanks guys , we WILL be back

Reasonable price for Sunday lunch , good food , warm friendly place , limited car parking ,large telvis ion in othe bar not overcrowded.

Great food and prices, very cosy very welcoming pub, god choice of drinks and cocktails, very welcoming to dogs

Food was plentiful and very tasty. Lovely extensive "pub" menu with a daily specials board. Also has a seperate Vegetarian menu. Great.

We stayed here for just one night .Thank goodness .There was no chance of sleeping after our great walk with family at Ingleton Falls.The music in the bar didn't finish till late & then so much noise shouting & swearing .We were in a luxury room and heard every sound Nightmare !! Breakfast was great if you like big greasy fry up but no fruit or anything healthy on menu .Staff very nice only saving grace .No heating in room at 6.00 after walk .Its needed this time of year .

As a group of 9 we struggle to be able to just walk into somewhere to eat. Having visiting the coach house on our last trip last year we decided to book and and they could easily accommodate us.

I have stayed here a few times now and like the place.The Breakfasts are great staff are friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable with plenty extra things in the room like a razor, water, and plenty clean towels and a great selection of toiletries.

We ordered two steaks at this pub, one sirloin and one rump, to be cooked medium. After waiting for over half an hour, the meals were served and we were disappointed to see that both were over cooked. The meat was hard, dry and brown throughout. When the waitress came to check, I politely told her that the steaks were over cooked, definitely not medium. She courteously offered to get them replaced. Ten minutes later, the pub landlord came to our table with pieces of cooked meat in his bare hands, asking us what was wrong with the steaks. I explained that we always have our steaks medium and that they should be brown on the outside with a layer of pink through the middle. He rolled the pieces of meat around and said that was what we got. He said that my description was for “medium rare” and that the meat in his hands was what they called medium. We are both retired, have had a fair few steaks in our time, all cooked medium, and his comments were insulting, implying that we didn’t know what “medium” was. My husband then asked him to replace the steaks with “medium rare” and he complained that two steaks were now wasted!

Excellent food and a great selection of beers and Gins. An amazing Sunday lunch. Great food at a very good price. Friendly staff snd most welcoming. The fish and chips were brilliant. Delicious puddings. Not to be mossed

This place became our local despite being 1.5 hours away from where we actually live. Atmosphere fantastic and great staff, met the landlord and landlady and very friendly. Food here great too, try the gammon and eggs! Also the Malbec- beautiful! Faye/Tina/Helen & Karl see you again next time we’re visiting! 5 stars!

The food here is very good,you can sit in the restaurant if you want a more peaceful atmosphere,staff are friendly.

Had an over night stay on Saturday, gorgeous rooms, friendly staff, good atmosphere and the best breakfast ever, highly recommended

On a weekend away ,popped in for a drink ,lovely young lady served a couple of beers and all was pleasant. We then decided we would have a cocktail so ordered Gin cocktail and a strawberry daiquiri ,service was slow,the gin cocktail was bland with just blob of ice and the daiquiri was undrinkable with no ice at all! When I asked to see the manager the young barman was quite rude &reluctantly; said he would inform the landlord I wanted to see him. After 10 minutes he still hadn't arrived to see me so I went back to the bar to enquire why the manager hadn't come to see me . I asked the barman why the landlord hadn't arrived when a man at the end of the bar shouted I'm here, drink your drinks and leave my pub ,I have never been spoken to like that in my life ! I asked why he was so rude and what was his problem ! The attitude of the owner was appalling, he said he didn't have to explain and just leave, I said one of the drinks was undrinkable and could I have a replacement or a refund he said no just leave . There are no words for his appauling behaviour , I went back to my friends and said let's leave immediately! There was only us in the pub and I'm not surprised with the attitude and behaviour of the landlord .

None of the food appears to be freshly cooked. The fajita was dripping in oil and pieces of chicken dry and hard. The pizza was inedible (and after ordering margarita we were given bbq beef). The steak was over cooked and dry and tough. The waitress was run off her feet. Despite mentioning our dissatisfaction with our meal absolutely nothing was done.

Have eaten here a few times, food ok, service indifferent. Tonight we were not offered any condiments with our meal and there was nothing on the table. Waitress didn't come back until clearing the plates away. On another note, I wish that salad dressed with balsamic vinegar wasn't put on a plate of gammon and eggs, peas would have been better.

We are a large group of 8 and as we didn't take into account for the bank holiday weekend we failed to book in anywhere for dinner and happened across the coach house online. We called and they advised they couldn't help and then our phone signal went. They called us back to say they had sorted it out and could fit us in a little later than we originally wanted which was fab!

Brilliant, best Sunday lunch had in a long time. Everything on my plate was nice and a huge plate full, staff very friendly and helpful and nice pub to sit in and the toilets were nice and clean as well. Would highly recommend.

The Coach House was a lovely traditional pub. Carl and his staff are lovely and very helpful. The breakfast was excellent.

Vine aquí por primera vez en una noche de viernes después de que había sido recomendado a mí. Elegí el filet de atún, que fue preparado a la perfección y servido con espinacas y patatas nuevas. He seguido este por una preciosa Pizcas Pudding y pegajosas después de preguntar para un montón de crema pastelera encontramos - una jarra muy agradable de natillas. El servicio era muy bueno y amable, y los alrededores son encantadores y acogedores.

Nos alojamos aquí una noche. Lugar encantador y amable. Buen bar. La habitación no era muy grande pero era muy cómodo y limpio. Tuvimos una comida en el restaurante que tiene una buena relación calidad-precio. Desayuno por la mañana siguiente era enorme y recién cocinado. Sin duda lo recomiendo como un gran lugar para hacer una parada. gracias x

Cinco de nosotros fuimos a cenar aquí como mi familia tienen una caravana cerca, la verdad es que se hizo un poco tarde para servicio, pero todos nosotros terminamos dejando sin pelar zanahorias y patatas las pena, ya que es un ambiente agradable. El personal era encantador, sólo necesitaba ser un poco mejor y que lo tienes en el clavo. Muy bien de precio, pero se pierden los chicos cargarás puré.

Llamado aquí después de visitar el pueblo de Wray para el festival de espantapájaros, es un pub encantador y un pequeño restaurante en la parte trasera, el personal fue muy amable, hay un aparcamiento en la parte trasera del pub, hay algunas mesas en la parte delantera y es un sol. Definitivamente volveré de nuevo si en la zona.

Hemos estado en el pub 3 veces ya en el pueblo. Un servicio muy cálido y amistoso en cada visita. Sarah destaca como un excelente camarera y ella era muy buena con nuestros dos hijos. El menú de la comida es buena, las porciones pueden ser grandes, pero era muy sabrosa y de buena calidad. A un precio razonable. Sin duda recomendaría el Coach House.

Paramos una noche mientras estábamos en la parte baja de Bentham, que sólo quería un poco de sabrosa comida de pub, y un ambiente acogedor pub y algunas bebidas. Lo que nos dieron fue una recepción bastante fría, y una camarera que no estaba interesado en dejarnos ver el menú (aparentemente 7pm es demasiado tarde un sábado? ! )

Yo soy muy exigente con la comida, pero estaban más que felices de acomodar a mis peticiones. Gente encantadora. Comida encantadora. Encantador pub

Quiet country pub, with a decent amount of choice on the menu including vegetarian options. Our meals were good quality and particularly large portions.

Visited for a couple of drinks and requested a menu! All good so far however after we had just about decided what we wanted we were told by the waitress that they had stopped serving and were only serving to residents! Clearly ignoring the rather large sign which says serving until 9pm! Good beer but rather disappointing! Won't be rushing back!

Stopped at Bentham when on the train back from Lancaster. Called in here for a drink. It is a lovely pub, good atmosphere with a mix of local and visitor guests. There is a lovely open fire, good food, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Really nice pub. Will definitely return.

The staff are very helpful and friendly, the food is very good everywhere is clean and tidy. As the pub itself is and old coach house so it is expected to be slightly dark but the decore and furniture is modern and in keeping with the theme

Had a night here, found it to be very welcoming. Food good pub food. Staff were really great, nothing too much, hence it appears very popular with the locals. We had decent size room, and good size shower room. Though we were at the front it was very quiet.

Stayed here for the weekend with some friends doing the waterfall walk at Ingleton. I found the Coach House excellent. The bedroom was very well appointed with a great shower. The restaurant was excellent too food really good and service excellent too. In fact I couldn't praise all the staff enough. I would certainly visit again the scenery is fantastic.

We only went here for breakfast but the service was outstanding, the staff were wonderful - really polite and friendly. Great quality food too. It looked fab inside and we would definitely book to stay here in future.

Inside very dark which is off putting .we had had drinks here a few times and our view is still the same .We had a meal and was not really anything special.menu very limited.Went for a drink this week an menus were put on other tables and we were not asked did we want to eat? We had vino alteady and were seated at a set table.? So we went down the road. Ok if you need a quick drink.

This is where towns folk that have been bared from the other pubs go. Which is a shame becssue the beer is good.The chef is often seen outside looking slightly grubby with a fag in his mouth which makes you wonder how his kitchen is run.

Looking lovely from the outside, this Robinsons pub is very dated and gloomy inside. It's also very quiet on a Sunday lunchtime. But people should not be put off! We had the most delicious Sunday lunch I've had in years! Service is very friendly and relaxed. Give this place a go sometime and you'll not be disappointed!

What a great place to visit, lovely food lovely staff and made to feel very welcome, cosy pub with roaring fire.

Dark and gloomy inside but would be nice on a cold winters day.Our waiter was quite rude BUT the food was great so no complaints there.Probably wouldn't rush back given the choice of eateries in the area.

We have been staying at our Static Caravan at Riverside Caravan Park this week. We had looked forward to going out on our final night this year for a pub tea. As we walked in the Coach & Horses the pub looked fairly quiet. Couple of empty tables in both the pub & restaurant. Nobody at the bar being served.... We are a family of four, with a six year and a two year old. We asked the lad behind the bar for a table for four. He went in and out of the back three times before announcing that they were totally bombed out, just taken a load of orders and just couldn't possibly fit us in! We were flabbergasted, they clearly were not busy and just did not want our children in their restaurant, which is a shame because they are well behaved, good eaters and are very used to dining out! My wife was very upset and we had to drive through the fog with two hungry children to Wennington, to find a place to eat!

Came here for dinner after walking in the local area. The restaurant had just opened for evening meals and the food arrived quickly, all of our meals were well cooked and delicious, and the portion sizes were very generous. The barmaid/waitress was very friendly. Hope to come again!

Food was excellent, I have noticed a comment regarding the pie someone had in another review it is also worth mentioning on the menu it states the pies are not made by this establishment they are bought in so please don't let that sway your opinion of the food.My starter of Scallops with peas black pudding & pancetta was excellent as was my main of crisp pork belly with apple & cabbage was very nice indeed. couldnt fault the service all the staff were extremely friendly and the surroundings are very nice indeed as well as the room in which me & my partner stayed.

Had our christening reception at the coach house in early August, a good time had by all great food great service highly recommend

Like to go here when it's something special - a celebration , birthday or when we have family over and we want to go the extra mile. Lovely atmosphere , great selection of food and never been disappointed

After reading good reviews on TripAdvisor we visited with friends for a meal on Saturday 1st August, the pricing of the menu was very reasonable but the quality of some of the meals were below the standard expected. I had the "Pieminister" Steak and Ale pie, it was a standard pie casing with not very much meat in it and also contained carrots which I don't expect to find in a Steak and Ale pie, the "mushy peas" were very dry and looked looked like they had been stuck to the sides of a pan after most of it had gone. The other meals that the other three had were also disappointing, with frozen chips, overall we decided that this would be the last time we visit this establishment when we are in Bentham again.

Lovely pub! Really nice food which was very reasonably priced. Very friendly service - a thoroughly enjoyable evening!

my son got me a voucher for the coach house so i took the wife to steak night. excellent value at £25 for two steaks and a bottle of wine.we had a choice of steak,rump sirloin or ribeye.we both went for rump,mine medium rare and my wifes well done.both were very well cooked and well presented.we could not fault the staff,very good service without being over attentive.overall a very pleasant night out.they even got a gold star for the toilets which must be the cleanest pub toilets around.we would recommend the coach house to anyone.

Called in for food, real good, but the barman was far to intent on playing the fruit machine and was bragging to who must have been the chef about how much he had won... £100 apparently! Will return but it doesn't look good when your staff aren't behind the bar welcoming people when they walk through the door.

Had a meal here with my partner one night. Food was lovely, steak cooked perfectly, the Heidi pie was delicious! Dessert was perfect. Great chef, service was friendly and efficient. Deffo be back.

Warning this place is not a restaurant food very poor quality manager not interested in the running of the Restaurant Never came over to find out what the problem was and to ad insult was called a liar that the mixed grill I ordered with chicken missing must have have flew of the plate because the chef said it was on stay well clear

Had Sunday lunch here - everything was ok apart from the roast potatoes which seemed to be frozen?So tough that they couldn't be cut through.The rest was excellent and good value for money.

We visit Bentham on many occasions and always make sure we visit here for their fabulous lamb. Succulent and tender, OK the chips are frozen but quite adequate frozen chips.Not trying anything else on the menu may be a mistake but why change the habit of a lifetime.If we didn't have the use of a friends caravan we wouldn't hesitate to stay here.Mouth watering as I write this.

Bed and breakfast was superb staff were fantastic and friendly chef was great with food the atmosphere was amazing could ask for a better place to stay when I visit Bentham again thanks

The coach house has nice surroundings and most of the staff are pleasant. On this occasion the food that we ordered was overcooked and incomplete. The sacmpi which my wife ordered was a very dark brown and the liver and bacon dish that I ordered did not have any bacon with it. The portions were also quite small for the price paid. The menu looks like the landlords children have produced it on pieces of paper which are clipped to a board. The prices do not even have a £ sign next to them.

I have just decided to join TripAdvisor to write about all the nice places we have visited.Our friends invited us here as they have a caravan nearby, the village is so nice, cottagy and friendly.The pub was quite dark but very nice atmosphere, we all ate, I had lamb, wow it was fabulous. The others had a mixture from pie to chicken and every plate went back clean.I can't understand bad reviews on this pub, we loved it and wouldn't hesitate to stay in one of their rooms.Looking forward to our next trip.

This family run restaurant was a real pleasure to visit 12 of us had Dinner and every single person said their meal was excellent and the service was to a very high standard. The portions were huge and the quality of the ingredients was very good. I would travel out of my way to eat here again

The Coach House is a wonderful 400 year old inn, full of character, with great ales and wonderful food. The bedrooms, while retaining their character, are fully modernised and very comfortable. Landlord Karl and his staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgable. High Bentham is a pleasant market town, perfectly placed for exploring the Yorkshire Dales to the north and the Forest of Bowland to the south. Highly recommended.

We stayed and had dinner at The Coach House on a Saturday night. Our initial concerns were that it would be quite noisy in our room (located above the bar) and that we would not be able to sleep. The noise was quite contained, and nothing could be heard in the room. The room was great value for money, as was the menu (if you're up for a challenge, give their mixed grill a go!).The staff were very polite and helpful; happy to engage in conversation and offer advice on sight seeing. Would stay and eat here again in a heartbeat.

Booked a table on Fri for 6pm Saturday evening. Arrived on Saturday to be told they'd stopped serving food! Even though the board outside said different. Need better communication with staff!

Well placed for getting out and about but great to get back to! Proper home cooked local produce, had breakfast, afternoon tea, Sunday lunch and bar snacks all were excellent as was the Wine choice. The staff are all friendly and helpful, especially Grace for who nothing is too much trouble.The temporary managers were brilliant so I hope the new ones are as good and look after their existing staff. The rooms are a fair size, well equipped,clean and comfortable but do need a few minor repairs and take your own toiletries. As this is a genuine 17th century building it is not suitable for disabled people. I have stayed here twice now and would really recommend it to anyone.

Visited her while we stayed at the riverside caravan site,we ordered food from the evening food menu,to eat in the pub area,the girls on the bar,who also served our food were very pleasant and helpful,food was hot and well cooked,an added bonus is that we could take our small dog in aswell.

Just returned from a fantastic 3 night weekend break. Hosts, Zoe and Andy were very welcoming and friendly, couldn't do enough for us, and the food was the best we have tasted in a long time, courtesy of Richard the Chef (otherwise known as "the little leprechaun").We ate there for three nights and tried different things on the menu, but couldn't fault anything.Good selection of beers, especially the "dizzy blonde" which went down well. The only downfall is we wont be able to go back as Zoe and Andy were leaving this week, so cant say what it will be like after that, only know we have a brilliant time.

Whilst staying in the area our family of 10 visited The Coach House on Mothering Sunday for Sunday Lunch and to celebrate my wife's birthday. Bearing in mind the Pub was very busy the service was good and the food was very good with a choice of beers for the beer drinkers amongst us. Later that week my wife and I and 2 friends visited for an evening meal and both the food and service was as good.Would recommend the restaurant.

We went for two night with afternoon tea very polite young lady showed us to our room l thought the room was very cold put the tv on that did not work so decided to go and have a drink before we have afternoon tea no bear in one pump next one no beer third one beer we got beer .told them about TV some TV are like that and how cold the room is and how cold the pub was getting finished our drink asked for our afternoon tea it came one plate with two scones 1 cream 1jam pot of tea two, l said is that it l think you have got this wrong where are the sandwiches and cake that is what we do for afternoon tea l said l do not think so asked for the manager also told them the place was very cold the manager was day off then told us the heating was broke down was not happy they advertise three trier cake stand .the manager told her to make some sandwiches half an hour after we had the scones manager did come but near came to see us we had to ask twice for him .when he came could not under stand why l said should not of had a day off when he new we where coming that day a few days before l email him to ask time for afternoon tea time,the place was getting so cold we pack our bags and went home to a warm place they have a fire but had no log for the fire very very cold very bad management said they do not do afternoon tea like that three tier but they advertise like that. l would not recommend anybody to stay here .he did say it was his fault sorry for bad management.

Been coming here for years, spot on! New management in doing a good job.. New chef wikid food, would recommend the BBQ chicken burger. Service absolutely class, you can't beat a bit of banter! Not sure what the people are saying underneath this review.. What can you do if the lines are frozen, get a grip and sort your lives out, cheers thanks good night!!

We have eaten here on several occasions at the back end of 2013 and quite frankly, the whole experience was awful, which was a shame coz its a lovely pub.We heard that new management were in pac so decided to give it another try on Sat Mar 16.We ordered two cokes which came quite sharply enough, then a cider......no cider, ok a lager.......no lager, right, a local beer.....no beer, lines all frozen up, now tell me, what the barmaid didn't mention before we ordered that all beers were off! Needless to say we lef th coes and went over the roa to the Bull.Get your act together, Coach House!!!!!

Having visited The Coach House 18 months previous, and been met with rude staff, (inc management) average food and no atmosphere at all, we'd have been forgiven for never returning. But on te grape vine we heard there had been a change of management and things were looking up. What a difference! Top quality food, smiles on the staff and customers faces, and a pleasant place all round. If they remain as they are then the future is looking bright!

Went in on sat 12th Oct @ 18:00 for some food. After getting 2 drinks at the bar we then looked at the menu. We was not made to feel welcome and then the barman was so unhygienic we left and went to another pub. Would we go again. Never!

We were recommended the Black Bull. Took one look and walked! Called at Coach & Horses and were greeted will helpfulness and a welcoming smile. There were 10 of us (and 3 dogs) and nothing was too much trouble. Always a worry when you enter local pubs in the deep Dales, what with the 'look', but the locals were very chatty. Food good but had to wait an hour and twenty minutes. We were warned though. Excellent value at £72 all in with 3 rounds of drinks. Not the best but a good solution when hungry.

We booked a table at the coach house and arrived 10 minutes late (my friend was told when booked food would be served until 9:30pm) 2 out of the four of us were served drinks and so we sat down and then waited for 20 minutes to then be told that the chef (owner of pub) would not serve us food as it was 09:05, despite serving the table next to us who came in after us!! I asked to speak to the manager and was calm and polite but of whom he spoke to me in an angry and confrontational manner in front of shocked customers in the bar and restaurant. He stated he did not care what I thought of his pub, was aggressive and stormed back to the kitchen leaving his staff embarrassingly apologising in the pub. I have spoken to others in the village who have also witnessed this treatment, a shame the manager lets this pub down, we won't be returning unless an apology is offered!!

Using a gogroupie voucher we booked 3 nights here on B&B basis. The room was nice and clean with some modern furniture and the breakfasts were very good.We ate there each evening and the voucher said it includes a free glass of wine and on their internet site it said 20% of subsequent meals.On leaving we were presented with the bill we queried it and were told that Connor was not there we presumed that we could sort this out from home.BIG mistake we were told by Darren that the drinks could not be given retrospectively and the information on the web site was out of date obviously we are quite cross about this. We are pensioners and budget quite carefully and to be overcharged in this cavalier manner leaves a nasty taste.The manager should have been able to sort this out before we paid as it was we had a young waitress presenting the bill and she said she didn't have the authority to change the bill.I would advise you to ask for the manager before you pay and if it's not right say you will sort it out over the phone.One other point one presumes when staying in a hotel that there would be parking and on the web site it states 4 spaces. This is not true you have to park in a public car park some minutes away.

You must try a Sunday Lunch at the Coach House. It is the best Sunday Lunch I have eaten and certainly a lot better than my mum can cook! You will not be disappointed as you have a selection of fresh veg, roast and mashed potatoes all served with home made gravy with a choice of meat. You do have to be careful as the Coach house only serves fresh food so when they have sold out, they have. A great weekend of good food and hospitality by Darren and Amanda's team. Many Thanks

The pub is pretty insude and out with beams and fireplaces etc. We visited on a Monday, there was only one member of staff behind the bar and she was the waitress too! I got the impression it was far busier than they were expecting! The lass did a great job bless her but each time a new group appeared she had to keep checking with the chef that it was OK to have more people in. I had fish and chips which were beautifully cooked, partner had steak which he said tasted good but half of it was a bit chewy. I had sticky toffee pudding which was quite disappointing, more dry than sticky. It was a pleasant place though and the people were friendly.

This is the first time I have ever complained about any establishment. However I thought I should point out the disappointment all six of us had when we called for a meal to celerbrate my sons fortieth birthday.We had telephoned to check the time for last orders, 8pm. We arrived at 7.15 to be told they would have to check with the chef to see if he was still cooking? thankfully he was. The restaurant was clean and comfortable, we ordered a large glass of red wine amongst other drinks the glass was dirty. We asked for a clean glass only to be told they did not have any more large glasses and asked if we would accept the drink in two small glasses. Eventually the drink came in one small glass which was filled to the brim and had to be sipped from the table to avoid spilling the drink. My wife ordered fish and chips, the batter was about 4cm thick, the fish about 1cm. We asked for tarter sauce to be told they did not have any. My grandchildren asked for tomato sauce to go with there burgers, my son asked for mustard again to be told they did not have any. However the waitress went out to a local shop to buy some. The mixed grill was very greasy and generally poor. The restaurant was not busy and virtually empty. The waitress was efficient and pleasant. Perhaps we suffered a one off bad experience, but I wanted to let other possible clients know of our experience.

My partner and I have just returned home from our stay at The Coach House and we are already planning when we can return. From the minute we stepped through the door and were greeted by Darren we knew that we were in good hands. The whole Team at this establishment are dedicated to ensuring that guests have an enjoyable time and this is one sure way of encouraging a return visit. Amanda and Darren could not have done enough for us and their welcoming approach made us feel a part of the 'family'. This was our first visit to this part of the country and thanks to the kindness we were shown it will not be our last. We would give our experience here 10 out of 10 and would heartily recommend it, thanks again guys.

We would like to thank Darren, Amanda and staff for a lovely weekend, it was our 44th wedding anniversary, we stayed for 2 nights and booked it through a wowcher deal, which was excellent value for the money,the location was good and the décor was nice and clean, the food was excellent especially the marinated prawns and the sirloin steaks which were cooked perfectly, we had cereal, toast and a full English breakfast each morning which was first class,the staff where very friendly and helpful, it was nice to relax in a lovely pub which was cosy and welcoming, we have no hesitation in recommending it to family and friends, once again thankyou everyone and we hope to see you again soon.

Staying locally, we dropped in here for lunch. My wife says her steak baguette was the 'best she has ever eaten'. Enjoyed a couple of pints of real ale relaxing in the surroundings of a beautiful quiet pub - no piped music or screaming children misbehaving ! Much larger inside than the front would suggest.

Very nice. Very reasonable. Arrived relatively late on a Saturday evening. Lucky to find a table. But very glad we did. No hesitation to recommend this to anyone.

This was a really nicely decorated traditional restaurant. We ate here on 2 nights and found the starters, main meals and desserts very tasty and freshly prepared. My steak was succulent and cooked perfectly- lamb shank too also very good. Very good service- friendly local staff

We ate there on a Friday evening. Food was ok, (my husband had a steak which was a bit overdone but saved by the quality of the meat), The serving staff were all very pleasant. We didn't stay after our meal as there was a group of five late middle-aged men having a meal and a very loud discussion about golf and there was a lot of loud bad language going on, by one of them in particular. No need for that. Didn't sound as though they were locals so hope it was a one off and we were just unlucky.

What a lovely place for an evening meal! We didnt book, just turned up on the spur of the moment at about 6pm on a Saturday night as we were staying in a cottage just outside the village. We were warmly welcomed by a very friendly young man on the bar and shown straight to a table. Taking the dog did not pose any problem, he was made to feel very welcome too. The food was fabulous and very reasonably priced! The portions were very generous (we had the gammon and a veg curry complete with popadoms, naan bread, rice and bhaji). The owner was on hand and came over for a chat after we had eaten. What a lovely fella .. very down to earth and nothing was too much trouble. I would take any previous bad reviews on this establishment with a pinch of salt.. we had a lovely evening, would recommend this place to everyone and will certainly be going back there to eat next time we are in the area.
