The Gamekeepers in Craven

Have always loved this hotel and leisure centre. I took my friend for a night away for her birthday. I couldn’t rate the staff highly enough. They were all friendly and helpful and enhanced our stay there. The food is always amazing and was glad to see the seafood platter back on the menu ( would be nice to see the Yorkshire one and the Italian one back on again) . We went for the hot stone back massage at the spa which was a great first experience. The room was way above our expectations and exceptionally clean and comfortable. Would highly recommend a night away there and we will definitely be staying again

We both had the garlic mushroom starter which had the appearance and tastelessness of tinned mushrooms and the breadcrumbs were just that... not browned in the oven or grill, just lumps of white breadcrumbs. Rest of meal was okay but not as good as it used to be.

We stayed on Pie Night. My husband had chicken, ham and leek pis and I had fish pie. Absolutely delicious

Came here for some food and drinks, bit pretentious for my liking however couldn’t fault the service. Ideal for birthdays or engagement parties etc.

We were camping on the adjacent campsite and walk the short way to this pub inside Long Ashes Park. Great atmosphere and good beer. Food available.

We ate here for several nights during our stay on the adjoining caravan park.

We ate and drank here recently. Good selection of beers, nice menu with a good choice of food. The staff are friendly and professional, the place is clean and the food good. The portions are generous.

We visited Sunday afternoon having just arrived at the nearby caravan site. Upon entering we were greeted by a young lady who promptly found us a table in the Conservatory drinks order was taken and arrived quickly considering how busy the place was. We all ordered different dishes from the menu 4 in total all were of excellent quality and plentiful in particular my grandson had the Sunday carvery an adults portion he got 6 slices of meat two of each of the ones on offer plus help yourself to yorkshire pudding and loads of tasty veg the service was excellent and the bill for 4 including drinks was a very reasonable £68 a thoroughly enjoyable experience

what a fantastic night ,sat in the conservatory ,I had the fish from the specials menu which was A1, my wife had the special burger and the the children had the fish goujons.

We did not book a table, but we were found one quickly. We sat in the conservatory, which was very nice, and ordered the sharing platter as a main between 2 of us and an extra side of salad, that was plenty, also we asked for some more bread. The food was delicious, the service good and would recommend.

We stayed at the gamekeepers in a beautiful little chalet. The chalet was well equipped and you have access to good leisure facilities on site. Food at the gamekeepers was of a high quality and we really enjoyed the desserts

Good traditional Fish & Chips and overall well priced food and wine. Breakfast also good and pleasant service.

Stayed at the Gamekeepers for 4 nights in June 19. The Inn is located in the middle of a mobile home and caravan park. the grounds were beautifully kept and it has leisure facilities including a pool. We stayed in an accessible room with a fab wet room and underfloor heating, however there are some issues with the room that need to be addressed. The mirror is too high to be able to sit and dry your hair, a person in a wheelchair would likely not be able to see themselves in the mirror whilst sitting and bear in mind not everyone is able to stand long enough to dry their hair. The door to the bathroom needs to open towards the room door, an individual in a chair would need to move beyond the bathroom door from the bedroom area and then open the door and back into the bathroom as the hall area is not really big enough to turn the chair around. I am not in a chair but do have some serious health problems but I feel a chair user may struggle. (disappointing really when they have gone to so much trouble to install an external chair/person lift ( all the site has steps and some areas are sloped). Also disappointed that no chairs to relax in the bedroom and also a great set of patio doors to a small courtyard shared with the room next door but no chairs to sit on - why have the area if not able to utilise it. Housekeeping not great bed not really made up just quilt pulled up, pillows not fluffed up, cups not washed and had biscuits on first day but never replaced! so not good. On a good note I slept very well which for me was great as I always struggle not being in my own bed. I read somewhere that the breakfast was complimentary which is incorrect as you are charged a Bed and Breakfast rate. This is the area I feel they really let themselves down as their cooked breakfast is good with quality products but on the buffet table was just juice (which was cheap variety as the cartons were also on the table), cereal and dried fruit. What would it have cost to put some fresh fruit salad and individual yoghurts (the norm in the majority of establishments) On the menu was the "healthy Option" of granola, fruit and natural yoghurt but you would have that as your breakfast it was either or. I am really struggling to understand as their meals in the restaurant are great and huge. Overall I felt that guests came second to the locals, the pub area is tiny with limited seating which in the main the locals filled, and with no relaxing chairs in rooms not anywhere to sit and relax. The young team of staff were very pleasant but again favoured locals even sitting down with them during the Wednesday evening quiz in restaurant area. Oh and please sweep and wash the restaurant floor it was filthy with food remnants all over it. It is very clear that a huge investment has been made but Management need to decide what they want to really achieve from the bed and breakfast side of the business. I am aware you have a lot of weddings which I assume take your rooms at the same time but that is not 365 days a year. A fab location I just feel attention to detail is needed, I would come back if the issues are addressed.

Ci stato consigliato da una persona che abbiamo incontrato casualmente nel Pub dove alloggiavamo devo dire che è stata una buona scelta. Peccato che siamo arrivati molto prossimi all’orario di chiusura della cucina quindi non ho potuto dedicarmi alla lettura completa del menù quindi abbiamo letto e scelto fra i piatti principali, devo dire che tutto ciò che abbiamo ordinato era molto buono ben curato, sia come impiattamento sia come materie prime utilizzate e cucinate. il prezzo è un po’ più elevato ma è giustificato dalla qualità e dal servizio per cui buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. Se arrivate presto potrete partecipare al gioco a quiz che fanno durante lo svolgimento della cena tipico di diversi ristoranti della zona divertente. Buoni i dolci che sono quelli della tradizione. Buona serata in ambiente un raffinato rispetto allo standard medio della zona.

We a family of 5 booked a table for Mother’s Day as had been many times and never been disappointed until now. When we arrived we were told we were not in the bar or the restaurant but we were in the hall next door which I believe is a big party room where they do weddings etc. On arrival into the room we were never welcomed or greeted and left standing there for far too long until someone came we should have known then what was going to come, we were then seated on function trestle tables and banqueting chairs in what could only be described as a “pack them all in kind of event”! a room with no atmosphere and the worst live music which over powered everything so not one of us could even talk over the dreadful singing as it was so loud. Most of us chose the carvery which was bland and tasteless with only 2 veg available it was poor quality beyond belief, the Yorkshire’s were hard and over cooked and I could only describe everything as tasteless. Over priced, poor quality the service I have no faults with but the atmosphere/singer and food quality really let this place down would have been much better in the restaurant or conservatory, very poor from start to finish. When you book for a special occasion like Mother’s Day or Easter you think you are getting the pub you wanted not a banqueting hall with a terrible live music act and poor food quality. Do you do this to cram in more bookings on special occasions ? Funny thing is on exit we went into bar and there was not a sole in there or the restaurant ! Why do pubs do this ? Let pubs be pubs don’t be greedy with the bookings! Easy for you as a establishment but poor experience for the customers.

Great food,, reasonable priced, all fresh cooked so be prepared to wait. Good selection on the menu. Not sure if you heed to book.

We had a family lunch for 7, service was prompt and pleasant We ordered a selection of meals that all arrived together and all were hot and fresh

We had a very enjoyable time and a good Christmas meal. The dining room was large and I thought rather impersonal. There were other groups dining. Our table was in the window. I had Thai fish cakes which were delicious and just the right size with a good hint of chilly. Other starters were soup, and garlic mushrooms - and others which I can't remember. Comments were good about the garlic mushrooms. Next I chose the pheasant which was delicious, tasty and a good choice. Many of the group had turkey and some commented that it was bland. We enjoyed our Christmas lunch and we would return.

We went early evening. Had a drink in the bar which was very cosy. We then moved into the dining room and looked at the menu. There was plenty to choose from, but if you don’t have a large appetite ask for the smaller portion. I had the soup, carrot and cumin, it was delicious! My husband had the prawns and loved them. This was followed by a small fis and chips which was more than enough. I ad two starter portions as I have a small appetite. We chose a red Rioja wine which was delicious. The soup and prawns were accompanied by bread rolls. We loved it and will definitely return.

We walked to the Gamekeepers from the nearby caravan park and enjoyed a lovely evening meal with family. All 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals, all well presented, good portioned and excellent value for money. Washed down with some rather nice real ale from the well stocked bar.

Not a lover of Sunday carvery but decided to give it a go. It was the best carvery ever. We got there at 12noon so everything was just out. The beef was Devine gammon delicious and the turkey super. Could have had the pork but declined but had a tiny couple bits of crackling naughty but nice! Veg was just cooked to perfection. The conservatory itself is a bit like a church hall need a little bit more interior design but having said that the food and service was 5 star. Brilliant lunch.

The Conservatory at the Gamekeepers Inn has an a la carte menu, and one for light specials, available at lunchtime and in the evening. It is well equipped, and furnished in light oak. Staff are efficient, and the menus have lots of choice. Its a good place to meet up for lunch with friends, and easy parking is available outside. Everything is prepared to order. Served nicely.

My 92 year old mother in law suggested Sunday lunch for her birthday treat. It was a carvery in a newly built extension, which was really impressive. Secondly the setting in Long Ashes was also impressive, very rural pictuesque setting. Everyone of our group thoroughly enjoyed their Sunday lunch and we all was surprised at the amount of meat they put on each plate, even too much for me. The whole meal was exceptionally tasty and everyone commented on. The prices were not that bad either at £14.95 for a 2 course tasty lunch. The staff were also really helpful and supplied a 3 year old with a free lunch, can't be bad. Will definitely recommend a visit, you will not be disappointed. One of the best carvery I have had for a long while.

The menu has a really good selection of mains to choose from including 2 gluten free options, 3 if you include steak and chips. There is even a selection of GF sauces to choose from. Brilliant!

Popped in for a meal at about 6pm, 4 of us.

Having relations arrive who were keen to eat out, but were coming to the end of their stay in the U.K before returning to South Africa, we were looking for somewhere for a reasonably priced lunch

We'd been before but tonight was an unplanned success. We drove the 400m rather than walk as it was a damp and miserable evening and although there were no tables (we rang, rather than turn up) they offered us a table into the bar area. This was just as pleasant as the conservatory restaurant and no hardship.

Set in the midst of Long Ashes park , which contains very well maintained static homes and a caravan park is The Gamekeepers. This is an excellent venue to call for breakfast, lunch or an evening meal , with an extensive menu and a truly good selection of beers, wines and spirits.

On arrival for our week's Holiday at Long Ashes Holiday lodges, we decided to try our first evening meal at The Gamekeepers restaurant and were all pleasantly surprise by the high quality food, flavour and cooked perfectly.

Stopped off for evening meal. Well impressed by the staff who were all very pleasant and professional. Total bill came to £48 for 2 X mains, 2 pints, g & t and large glass of wine. Couldn't manage deserts. Would recommend and go again when in area.

We went for Sunday lunch with some friends and were seated in what looked to be a new Barn type extension. The room itself was pleasant enough though noisy.

This is quite new but well worth a visit - we chose sirloin of beef which was cooked to perfection served with home made Yorkshire pudding and lots of beautiful fresh vegetables - the cost Was £11.95 and worth every penny - I was upset that we couldn’t manage the sweet as there was a lovely selection but we were so full.

We were travelling from out of country and hoped to be there before 2pm to meet family for a late lunch. We were delayed however the staff advised this was not a problem and would accommodate us whenever we arrived.

I cant talk about the food as we never got sat down. This happened 3 weeks ago but my review did not submit so I am writing this again.

My wife and I enjoyed several great meals at The Gamekeepers while staying at Long Ashes recently. The service and atmosphere in the conservatory restaurant was very good and the food was excellent and great value. Their "themed" evenings (steak night, curry night etc.) were superb and well worth a try.

Fantastic service from Sara who made out booking special, Awesome food, just so delicious and presented so beautiful, very good value, tasty and lovely ambience. There was a wedding on whilst we were dining, how the Chef managed to cater like he did for the whole evening - no idea! Wedding didn't overtake the place, kept separate but also looked stunning from a distance will definitely be back time and time again! Thank you very much x

We use this pub quite a lot good food and a lovley restaurant space, love the new wedding suite and. Always parking

Visited before the marvellous alterations, just as the pub and restaurant and it was fab.This time did the same but family stayed b & b and it was even better.The rooms were lovely, the food was good and the staff are all really pleasant. I would bit it here every time I came to the area. Keep it up

We have been visiting the Gamekeepers and staying over for the last 8 years and have just spent the night there with friends for the first time after their great refurbishment. Absolutely blown away with the changes! They now have a wonderful events venue which is licensed for weddings too. They have added on a further six rooms which are exquisite. We stayed in one of the original rooms which is the family room with a separate bedroom and large lounge both with TV and a large bathroom with bath and shower. We have stayed in here before but was so surprised to see they have fully refurbed the 5 original rooms too. As always we had a great stay, the bar service is efficient and friendly and the food was exceptional as was the full english. It was Steak Night (Monday) so a large rib eye with hand cut chips, tomato mushroom, pepper sauce and a glass of wine. This was included in our deal of Bed and Breakfast and evening meal for two for £110 and could have upgraded to the new rooms for £10 each but we were more than happy with the room we had. Included in this price you have the use of the swimming pool, spa, gym which is next door and also a lovely coffee shop and hairdresser too. The setting is gorgeous and about a two mile walk to Grassington a lovely olde worlde village. Do yourselves a favour and book a room you will not be disappointed. if you like walking there are many gorgeous walks on your doorstep. We walked over Linton Falls to Burnsall along the river and back to Grassington about 11 miles of pure bliss!!!

Went for a friend's wedding, such fantastic food, great priced drinks, truly lovely staff. When after 12 hours of drinking and my friends were trashed the staff made sure we got home safely! Can't praise this venue enough

We had a late Sunday lunch here with our family and visitors from the US. It was quite a sunny...

Precioso pub en entorno precioso. Comida excelente, con mucha variedad y a un precio razonable. Fuimos allí durante las vacaciones con los niños para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi marido. Zona de juegos para los niños, el personal es acogedor, sin duda volveremos cuando en el área de nuevo. Recomiendo reservar como puede ser ocupado.

This place is well hidden, off the beaten track,but well worth looking for.The Menu is very varied and caters for most tastesWe had a very nice meal accompanied by relatively inexpensive, but very palatable house wine.They have a lift for the less mobile, which sadly can be a little temperamental, as my father found out.

A group of friends attended this venue for a friends wedding. The whole event was a joy and brilliantly organised some of which I know would be down to the bride. The food was top quality and plentiful. We had nibbles, a three course meal with wine and coffee and sandwiches and snacks at the evening reception. The staff were efficient , helpful and friendly. My friends were pleased the bar prices were reasonable. We enjoyed looking around the site And just sat outside in the sunshine. I can see why it's popular for weddings.

This was a surprise for my birthday from my partner and it did not disappoint! Staying in the family room in the gamekeepers inn, the room was clean and well kept! We used the spa facilities which were great and a fantastic bonus!Decided to stay for food in the pub itself! And wow!! The food honestly was outstanding! Me and my partner eat out quite a lot and have visited a wide range of restaurants! And this one was very high on being at the top!The only downside was we only stayed one night! But this place and pub/restaurant will definitely be on our list to revisit!

After a big dog walk my husband, 4 year old and pooch needed some food. And we werent disappointed. Accomodated everything we needed and more. Welcoming and happy staff nothing too much trouble. Just what we needed, they were having works done when we visited so has probably improved more since. Give it a whirl

The meals we ordered were excellent and one waitress was particularly attentive, but the other staff were far too busy talking to each other, eating and drinking coffee ... the bar man was also not at all welcoming and quite off hand in fact. All in all this really spoiled our visit and we will be thinking twice about returning. The management really need to make some changes and invest in some training in order to ensure the staff know about customer service. Had it not been for the excellent meal and the one professional member of staff, we would have made a serious complaint.

We were staying the weekend on the CC site so after a long drive in our motorhome after work we fancied a few drinks before an evening meal in the van. The place is buzzing. Dog friendly in the bar area with stone floors, comfy seating and a great barstaff. Several real ales available and at good prices too. Considerably cheaper than the Grassington pubs and hotels we tried over the weekend. Nice conservatory to the side where people were eating but not dog friendly in there so can't comment on the food. Could eat in the bar area but limited suitable tables for that. Overall, very nice place.

Just returned from a fabulous weekend break at the gamekeepers. We had a lovely twin room. Very clean and comfortable. The staff were all so friendly and attentive. The food was excellent. The use of the spa made for a wonderfully relaxing break.Would definately recomend and will be back again.

Why do places insist on playing more than background music? The menu is limited but reasonable. Dogs allowed in the bar area but you can't book there which is a bit strange. I had to wipe the table down myself as it was a bit grubby before we started but they did give a cloth to do it!

This pub/b&b isn't the easiest to find because it's located on the Long Ashes Holiday Park, just north of Threshfield (a mile or two from Grassington). But it's well worth seeking out. We went for Sunday lunch which was delicious and very reasonably priced. Young man called Luke was extremely courteous and helpful when I phoned to make a reservation and although he was serving behind the bar when we arrived, he came out to make sure we were well taken care of. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend, especially compared to some of the "olde worlde" pubs in the area which seem to regard tourists as bottomless pits of money.

We visited recently to try the steak night. I have to say that the sirloin steak wasn't anything special, quite fatty, but it was a nice enough meal. It is well presented and for £12.95 reasonably priced. Our starters were really nice, and generous portion sizes. They were the best part of the meal by far. The staff were fantastic, professional and polite, a real credit to the place. The restaurant itself is lovely, we really enjoyed being there and will definitely visit again to try other menu options

We absolutely love this Inn, it's relaxed, welcoming, food is consistently good, good choice of wines & excellent choice of beers. The plus for us is dogs are welcome!!6 of us had a fabulous meal on Sunday night, great menu & we all chose something different, we had selection of wines & the guys had beers, all very happy with our choices!!! In addition the service is great & there is a great atmosphere!!! We have visited this place many times & will be coming many more times in the future! Would recommend to everyone!!

We stayed at the Gamekeepers Inn for a night during our week walking the Dales Way. We were welcomed on arrival and shown to our very comfortable rooms. There is a considerable amount of building still in progress which was not a problem apart from a large section of the landing open to the roof creating a lot of heat. We were able to use the very good swimming pool and again the staff were very friendly and helpful. The Inn is situated within the caravan park itself so there was some noise from the surrounds. We enjoyed a good evening meal and breakfast in the restaurant.

We actually booked our wedding 11 months ago today after having an issue with a previous venue. From the minute we walked in to the wedding fair we were made to feel welcome. We had lunch to check out the food & we booked about an hour later. We of course knew that the venue was imminently being demolished and rebuilt but we were assured that it would be ready. It was...just! I cannot fault Stuart & Kim. From day one they have put up with us stopping by for lunch 'to check progress', our incessant emails and they both always made time to say hello and spend time with us as the date grew nearer.Stuart, Stuart's wife and Kim worked so hard in the week leading up to our wedding to reassure us and to get the venue ready on time and on the day itself they were absolute stars. We were both blown away by how beautiful the room looked for both the ceremony and reception. It was so much more than we could have ever wished for and all our guests equally loved it. The day was so relaxed, the food was as always amazing. No leftovers is always a clue! We cannot praise Stuart and Kim enough for their hard work. Kim really made the planning easy and relaxed and she is very skilled at what she does. The room speaks for itself, we loved it, all of it.

All the meals were freshly cooked and very tasty. There was a good choice of each course and the wine was also very good and reasonably priced.

We live in Gargrave which isn't all that far from Grassington and Threshfield. We were recommended to try to Gamekeeper's Inn for lunch. As it turned out. the inn is part of a larger complex including a hotel, spa and an array of homes and holiday cabins. At the moment, the standard cost for a lunch main course in the Inn is just £5.95 which can be very good value indeed.My wife chose the fish and chips with mushy peas for her lunch. It looked very good and she described it as being very tasty with moist, firm fish inside crispy batter and with excellent chips. 5 out of 5 there, then.I chose the turkey roast with Yorkshire pudding, stuffing and a side dish of fresh vegetables. Unfortunately, I was less enchanted with my choice. The turkey was very, very good with plenty of gravy. (This proved to be an essential element as you'll see in a moment). By-and-large the vegetables were also very good - apart from some that had been cut into white blocks. Were these turnip? I wasn't sure, but they tasted very odd indeed - almost unpleasant, so I left them in the dish.But - and it proved to be a big BUT - there were two elements which I really didn't like. One was a disc of what I can only describe as 'hard, compressed' stuffing. The other serious disappointment was the large Yorkshire Pudding. It was hard at the top and chewy at the base and it became quite a challenge to drag it apart with knife and fork. Having done that, it proved to be very chewy - not the light concoction that should epitomise a good quality Yorkshire Pud. I hacked it apart and soaked it in the aforementioned gravy. That made it more palatable and it was OK. Even so, I gave up on trying to finish it when the gravy ran out.We had no reservations about the service or friendliness - both were excellent. The views were very pleasant and there is obviously an exterior play area for children.Because my wife's meal was so good, despite me having reservations about some elements of mine, I'll leave my rating at 4 stars in the hope that in any future visit(s) there will be no further disappointments. But on thing is certain - I will definitely avoid anything on the menu which is described as being accompanied by Yorkshire Pud or stuffing ... unless, of course, I take a flask of gravy with me.

We held our wedding reception here in the newly converted function room. The room looked amazing the food was fantastic and the staff attentive and filled our every need. The day could not have gone any better. Exceptional thank you all very much xx

Was staying on the caravan site with friends called in not booked sorted no problem Excellent food service and drinks Well worth a visit Will be back

Had evening meal here .Chicken and leek pie pretty good but a bit heavy on the mushroom sauce .Great pint of Tetleys cask bitter

Three went there on a Monday which turned out to be steak night at a nice reduced price . Rib eye very nice and cooked as ordered. From the outside it looked like a holiday camp restaurant but don`t be put off as it was good quality with good service at fair value

Had an excellent meal here whilst staying at the caravan site next door. Service was very good & prompt. Food was well presented & excellent. Will definitely dine here again when in the area. Next time, we will book in advance so as to get a table in the conservatory.

Called in here to view facilities. Welcomed by Stewart and shown the rooms they look lovely! Spa and fitness suite nearby included in your stay. Food excellent

We have always heard good things about the gamekeepers, and we were not disappointed. 4 of us had Sunday lunch, I had cod, which was very well cooked, served with creamy mash, and leek sauce,very yummy, the pork also looked delicious, very generous portions. Nice setting, and lovely and warm ,good beer as well,we will be back

We had lunch here as I had been previously and loved it. We were served quickly and efficiently at the bar and our orders were taken in the conservatory. There were crumbs and bits on the table from previous diners of which I wiped away with my napkin. The food was reasonably good but not outstanding, for example the bakewell tart was solid and tasteless. The worst thing was that there is building work all around with associated noise and there are only temporary toilets outside, and they were very dirty. Reminded me of Glastonbury.....say no more.

As a group of friends in the Vanmaster Association Caravan club we stayed at the Caravan Club site adjacent to Long Ashes. We decided to enjoy lunch together on Sunday at the Gamekeepers and 14 of us gathered and were accommodated together. Stewart the manager ensured everyone could enjoy the meal of their choice and anyone with special diets were also catered for admirably and without fuss. We were all impressed by the meal itself as it contained only fresh ingredients, was well cooked and presented and everyone was served together. They show the moto we don't serve fast food and this is true as we waited a short while for the first course, for those wanting three courses. Those only ordering main +sweet were not given theirs early but waited and were served all together. The portions are generous and well divided into meat and veg and of course Yorkshire Pudding. The service was first rate and as always the bar is well stocked and offers a nice range of cask ales and cider. Well done to all the staff who are interested in their clients and ensure you relax and enjoy a great atmosphere.

An utter delight and surprise. Not much of a drinker and being cautious of eating in new places when we have favouritesome already. The gamekeepers just took top spot for us. Born a farmers son and with my own lamb in the freezer I was expecting same old when ordering netherside lamb shoulder but what the reviewer received has my mouth watering even a week later. Slow cooked for 7 hours in a red wine reduction. With the addition of braised red cabbage to the veg included we all enjoyed mains and puddings. The conservatory styled dining area was airy and for me a lovely change from most of the dales pubs - however the main bar retains the character of the original building. No idea if the beer is any good but the landlord had a good reputation at his previous place, also local for keeping good ale. Waiting staff friendly and efficient at all times. Final note for the banoffee ice cream exquisite - served alongside a passion fruit sorbet, oh take me back there soon!

We were staying at the adjacent caravan club site and came in here every night for a drink and then on the final night had a meal. Food was excellent pub grub and the kids menu was also very good. There is a nice selection of beers aswell. Highly recommended.

We were staying on the nearby Caravan Club campsite. A short walk brought us through the woods to the GamekeeperBeer was well kept and reasonably priced. Fair selection of real alesOn our second visit we enjoyed a very nice meal. Nicely cooked and well presented. Very welcome after a long walkDogs were made welcome on both visits.

Finished off a long walk with dinner here, my wife and I both had the Vegetable Lasagna dish, side order of chunky chips, and it was all very good. No complain about the temperature of the food here, extremely hot! They also have some descent beers. and for a high tourist area bill was reasonable

Having lived in The Yorkshire Dales for over 18 years and eaten at just about every pub and restaurant in the Dales, both lunchtime and evening, I have been most impressed with the Gamekeepers Inn at Long Ashes Park since it was taken over by new owners aboutthree years ago. The new owners had to overcome the previous owners dismal record and have done so, wonderfully.The lunchtime "lite-bite" menu at 5.95.GBP a head is exceptional value and the quality is excellent. There is no argument if you want to change mashed potatoes for new potatoes, or peas for carrots, etc.etc. The staff and chef are most obliging which is nice.The restaurant is a large atrium type building, all glass, but it can get a bit warm on hot sunny days. It is nicely set up at all times.The waitresses are simply delightful. Nothing is too much trouble and it is always service with a smile.Evening meals are also excellent and there is a theme evening every night.One should not miss the Sunday Roast special.

A really nice friendly pub just a short walk from the Campsite. We went on Tapas night and you could choose 3 dishes for £10. The food was really tasty and well presented. The pub looks nice especially the conservatory, although the toilets could do with a good scrub and re-decorating. The staff were really friendly and efficient. Had a lovely time.

I feel I need to review this restaurant again as the last review I gave was not complimentary with regards to the service and waiting staff when I visited it on Easter Monday. Anyway what a transformation the staff were very attentive and polite could not have been more helpful, all had a lovely smile when serving our table kept asking if they could help with any more drinks etc. an absolute transformation to our previous visit and the food as always was excellent. the staff this time was a credit to the restaurant when I visited recently. WELL DONE WE''LL BE BACK AGAIN.

Went for lunch and the food was fabulous compliments to Jimmy the chef and Paul the waiter - great food great value great service - I will return

Went for a reunion meal with some former car club members. We reserved a table as it was Saturday evening. The place was quite busy but not packed and it was a pleasant atmosphere. Service was quick and efficient. The meal was excellent. I had the Steak pie and others in our party had a variety of different choices, all of which were very enjoyable

I've eaten at The Gamekeepers before and enjoyed what I'd had. But my last visit wasn't so good as the steak I had was really tough (I'd asked for medium-well done but it was almost shoe leather). The people I was with also had some less than satisfactory food, with tough meatballs and a Barnsley chop that had loads of fat and gristle on it. On the plus side, the peppercorn sauce was one of the best I'd had and the sticky toffee pudding put the meal back on track.

I found The Gamekeepers online as we were due to visit Skipton and were looking for ideas to try somewhere new locally. This is not a place we would have found normally as it's a little off the beaten track and within a holiday park, so well off a main road. I am very glad we did find it. The food is all fresh and of a high standard and the ambience is great too. It was a good menu and as we were all in the mood for gammon, egg & chips we opted for that. We were very pleased all round and would certainly return as the menu had a broad number of choices and all the food around us looked good too.

We visited this hotel when we we staying nearby. It is quite large but I understand that it does get very busy as it is popular. Therefore it is probably worth booking so as not to be disappointed. We hadn't booked but we were late on Sunday afternoon and had I presume missed the busiest period. Nevertheless there were quite a few customers in there and we had to wait just a little time for a table to be made ready.There is a good choice of food on the menu. We both enjoyed our meals and they were of quite generous portions. The service staff were efficient and friendly and the food arrived quite quickly. We had a decent bottle of wine which was not over-priced.If I was to go again I would prefer not to be seated in the conservatory as although there were blinds of sorts we were rather too hot for comfort. We were right against the sunniest side. The staff did open some windows and then the side door which helped so they must have been suffering as well, but they then had complaints of draughts from others around the place.The hotel is clean and well presented with a friendly atmosphere.

staying at nearby Caravan Club site this pub was recommended and did not disappoint. The pub is clean and well decorated and light and comfortable. It is dog friendly and the staff were very helpful and friendly.The meals were superb, good portions delivered quickly and nice and hot. They were very tasty. I recommend this pub for evening meals if staying on the site as we were, or just passing by.

Staying on the nearby caravan site and popped in for coffee, friendly and welcoming staff who shared with us some local walks which they thought our dogs would enjoy. Large and tasty lattes with a lovely complimentary biscuit. Dogs are welcome in the bar area. Will definitely return.

We visit here whenever we stay at the adjoining Caravan Club Site, and very welcome we are made to! Dinner on Saturday night was a delight, great atmosphere, good food. Can't wait until we can go again!

Stayed overnight on 16.2.15 in B and B. Room very clean, comfy and much bigger than expected. Food excellent as always. Staff very friendly and helpful.Definately recommend, as was extremely good value.

Glad the Gamekeepers is back on form again, we have been for a meal tonight and it was excellent, as it has been on our last few visits. It did drop standards and the beer wasn't as it should have been but things are clearly sorted. Stuart and staff have really got things back on track.

As a regular passerby to the GameKeepers, I highly recommend it for a nice pint from a decent walk.Gym, swim & Sunday lunch. Perfect end to the week!Paul, Loz & Reg

I haven't been here for years and I was very pleasantly surprised. There was so much to choose from on the menu. We couldn't fault this place and will definitely return. Good food, service and atmosphere.

Good food,friendly welcome,well stocked bar !,nice and warm ,reasonable prices and a wide ranging tasty menu.Children very welcome,with an outdoor play area.Enjoyed it very much.

This place is a really nice place. Friendly staff who are happy to help. .. but 2nd time of dining in this place I have asked staff if some dishes where alright for dairy intolerance diet. Both times staff have gone to kitchen to confirm there is no milk, etc in the dishes I was interested in. First dish was beer battered fish which got me up usual time of 2-3 am with sickeness and diarrhea. . Then 2nd was fish mixture which had hollandaise sauce which to my partner tasted like it had cheese and milk in it. I took a quick taste and discusted in the milk taste. Chef does not care what he gives out. The fish cake I had to give to dog afraid it may contain milk or cheese

Went with friends. We were all made very welcome and enjoyed our meal very much, which was really delicious. I chose the turkey with trimmings and my friends had fish and chips and the seafood linguini. The following evening we thoroughly enjoyed the carol singing in and brass band in the function room, which was packed to capacity.

We ate twice in the gamekeeper during our stay at Long Ashes both times we had excellent food and service. Truely good value for money We even attended the pub quiz and had a lovely evening

After being let down by another restaurant we managed to get a table and where served excellent food by very pleasant staff will be back soon

Fantastic choice in the menu and a specials menu that is hard to beat. Example 10oz sirloin or 10oz ribeye or 10oz flat iron steak the latter to be recommended served with chunky chips, tomato, and flat mushroom the special steak menu choice is on a Monday and Thursday they also serve battered scampi which is delicious all of the above at a price of £9 95 on these special days really great value they also have an extensive menu choice also and the portions are fantastic.well worth a visit.

Recently ate at the Gamekeepers as we were staying sat Caravan Club site next door. In fairness the food was alot better than I expected it to be. Shared starter so Hadoock goujons, olives and bread, and these were very tasty. My wife ordered the Butternut Squash and Goats cheese lasagne, as she loves Butternut squash and Goats Cheese. However whilst it was good, you could not really taste the butternut squash or Goats Cheese and she felt it was more like an ordinary vegitarian lasagne. I ordered one of the special which was Cod Loin with potatoes and pea puree. The cod was beautifully cooked, but the pea puree was full of cream, which made it taste bland, and also meant I couln't eat it due to having cholesterol issues. When one of the waiters came and asked us if we were enjoying our meal, he was very good and checked whether there was alot of cream in the puree and confirmed there was - he did offer to change this, but by this time I had eated half of the cod. So the food is good quality, I just wished the menu was a little more descriptive in what the dishes actually contain. One other thing the bar does have a good selection of beers including one very locally brewed real ale, which I thought was excellent!!

The gamekeepers has recently changed hands. The food wasn't bad before but found the place lacking in atmosphere and stopped serving food at 2 o'clock on Sunday oddly enough, but now all that as changed the place seems to be buzzing again and had a great Sunday roast at good price

Lively little pub on a caravan site, unfortunately we hadn't booked a table so was not able to eat as tables were all booked was steak night and looked very popular.

My wife, 3 children and I visited here twice in August, an extremely busy restaurant. My family enjoyed the food both visits, book to avoid disappointment, We had to eat in the bar on the first occasion but it did not spoil the evening.

Booked a table for my 70th birthday, food was very good, waitress/waiter friendly, I had a very nice Roast beef/yorkshire pud meal, my daughter had roast pork which she was very happy with, will certainly go again when in the area.

Have always enjoyed a drink here whilst staying with my sister and brother in law in their motor home. This visit my sister said she was determined to eat as well. The big problem on previous visits, and tonight was no exception, was the inconsistent service in the bar. We had called in earlier in the day to look at menus and find out if we would need to book. It took 5 -10 minutes before anyone paid us attention ( we could have been wanting to order drinks! ). When we returned in the evening, we wanted drinks so I waited at an outside table in the sun, 10 minutes later the drinks finally came. My brother in law and sister had to wait, along with others whilst the bin was emptied. Surely those jobs are for when there is a lull, not several people waiting to be served? ! The food was really good though and for that and the garden seating we will be back, but please sharpen up inthe bar.

Popped in whist out caravanning in the area.Just saw the place as we were passing just before 9pm.It would appear no reservations were necessary, we found a numbered table and looked at all the different specials boards, which were everywhere.Huge variety of food and drink to be had.Service was quick the food was good.The atmosphere was pleasant.It was pretty busy but there are lots of areas to sit so it was no problem.In fact we went back for our Sunday lunch when, surprisingly it was less busy, the weekend tourist obviously having left already.

Nice place to stay and eat. Dogs are welcome which adds to the relaxed atmosphere. Good choice of quality ales. Dining room is airy and bright during the day and cosy at night. Meals were very good rather than excellent. Would definitely return!

Me and my husband have stayed several times now. We love it. The food has always been great quality and value for money. The rooms are nice and clean. The staff are fab and always make you feel welcome. Naiomi is fantastic and has been there on all our visits, nothing is too much for her, always service with a smile.xxxx
