The Station Inn - The Pub in Craven

Stayed one night in our Camper. All the staff were super friendly and there was a great atmosphere in the pub, the fire was roaring. It was really busy but we managed to get a table as they only allow groups of 6+ to reserve tables. The food was lovely. The views and walks are great. We would go back.

You come this far to see the viaduct and the windswept walk to get you there leaves you thankful that you had the jacket and cap! The walk back to the car and you discover the Station Inn and the atmosphere, warmth of greeting look of the menu and beer leaves makes it a must go to place!

Whilst the food was ok, the rest was pretty awful - smelly, unclean, poor service. If you want a quick pint this would be ok - anything more I would suggest to find an alternative venue.

After walking around the viaduct with our dog,we went into the pub which was fairly busy but there were tables available. We started by sitting on the end of a big table with another couple. We ordered food and drinks, but were then able to move to table 1 with a view of the path to the viaduct. Steak and Ale pie was lovely with veg and mash, washed down by a pint of Lager. Great atmosphere in the pub, with friendly staff…

Iconic pub we visited 3 times after doing each of the 3 peaks. Excellent choice of cask ales and very enjojable to sit outside in the sunshine resting tired legs. Strange though that the "what were you here for" doesn't include a drink, so had to put tea and coffee.

Quite simply the best pub meal I've ever had! I ordered Liver & bacon, which came with mash potato, delicious onion gravy and fresh mixed vegetables - literally Heaven on a plate!! Thanks Chef! Quest service too from the bar staff!

Great place to have drinks and Amazing food with amazing service. Had Fish & chips which was more of a ‘whale’ on the plate! Delicious

A brilliant pub! The service from booking onwards was great. We were kept informed with emails and calls for booking dinner and to confirm any extras we may have needed. Used the bunkhouse which was perfect for our 8 strong group; inexpensive, clean and with all the basic facilities we needed for our group. Andy and Jono were great in the bar; service was great and they couldn’t do enough for our big group. Food was served quickly despite being busy and was delicious pub-food - and the perfect accompaniment to the beer we had earned after the Yorkshire Three Peaks. We’ll be starting and finishing here in the future rather than the usual Horton commencement. A Yorkshire gem.

Very nice stay staff very friendly food evening meal and breakfast excellent. Great location for cycling /walking with fantastic views of the viaduct.

The Station Inn at Ribblehead 5 star food , best Sunday lunch in years. 5 star beer , highly recommend Ribblehead bitter.

Just popped in for some lunch after a walk around the viaduct and it was spot on. The last behind the bar was good crack and really welcoming. We managed to get a table for food which was reserved for 3pm, (we were there at 12 30) and ordered and some cracking food cake out really quickly and was delicious. We were asked to let the lady behind the bar know when we were finished as the 3pm group had arrived early, we were NOT rushed in the slightest they just wanted to make sure it didn't get taken. We moved as soon as we were done so they could get the table and the sound bloke serving came and told us we were more than welcome to have the table till 3, and was genuinely concerned we had been ushered off which wasn't the case. It made us feel like really valuable customers, and showed they weren't just interested in turning the tables over quickly. Lovely service, lovely food. Keep up the good work The flooring could do with changing (I own a flooring company, please get in touch 😁😁)

Just been to the station inn pub and I had fish pie. My sister had Mac cheese mum had curry cauliflower soup and it all was lovely the staff are very friendly and like a laf we will be back thanks.

Stayed one night car park in motor home. The staff were excellent, helpful, polite and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was excellent, and a good choice. Will be returning!!!

Great pub with a good atmosphere. a good place for a meal and a drink after a day on the hills. It's next to the Ribblehead viaduct, with a good view. Good selection of beer and good food with large portions. Exactly what we needed after exploring the hills nearby!

Great food. Ham, egg and chips excellent as was the steak and ale pie on my second night. Everyone else enjoyed their meals. The meals were pre booked, 23 of us sat down for our food, came out very quickly, hot and generous portions. Staff efficient and quick, especially Millie who was calm, confident and still smiling when dealing with the various requests/changes that had been made. Good breakfast on the Sunday morning. 6 stayed in one bunkhouse, small, modern, toilet and shower. Shower nice and hot even being the last one in the queue to use it.

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal at the Station in after our great train ride and walk around and under the amazing viaduct. Although they were out if what we had originally ordered, our 2nd choice did not disappoint! The food was fresh, well presented and large portions. The staff was friendly and the place was cosy- even had a fire in the fireplace

Food didn’t disappoint however there was no Sunday lunch available which what the group wanted. However the staff were rude and made threats to throw us out as one of the group accidentally vaped which they apologised for immediately but the member of staff was just rude ! The standards of the ladies toilets where disgusting as the had sanitary bins with bags over them so you could see the contents of them ie used lady products and solid nappies on show! The standards have slipped since last September

The breakfast for our days travel was once again pretty average for the UK, service was very slow as there were only one member of staff on, and we paid extra for a pack lunch which was £7.50 but the contents were worth around £1.50 a total rip off UK again

Called in for lunch today, in a rare break from the rain. Absolutely enormous lunch menu. Wow. Something for everyone, plus specials. Great welcome and beer. Food came out really quickly. Plenty of room , various options of where to sit. We sat at the front and the road isn’t that busy Dog menu too, which went down a treat

Doesn't look very inviting from the outside with some tables on the very fast main road. However, don't let it put you off as there's lots of room inside and a great garden out back. Very varied menu, good beer, friendly staff and great service. Very dog friendly and a welcome stop after walking to see the viaduct.

Drove here for lunch with the dog. Pub is in a beautiful setting with views from the back towards the viaduct. There is plenty of parking either in the car park or just down the road. The pub is dog friendly but we sat in the shade in the beer garden for lunch. Food was of a high standard, obviously cooked to order and homemade, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stop for a refuel.

It was the hottest and busiest of days, but Linzi and the team were fantastic, smiling and supplying me with delicious ale! Highly recommend

An absolutely cracking location, and free parking! The room wasn’t big enough to swing a cat, but it was clean. We had to leave the bathroom door open when we had a shower because it set off the fire alarms (much to everyone’s amusement…) Food was fantastic - like, really good. Made up for the dodgy shower ha

Stated overnight in our motorhome with 2 other couples. A few beers followed by a great meal. Decided on breakfast the next morning, also really good. Congrats to Lindsey and the team for brilliant service and good banter👍👍hopefully we'll be back

From arrival to departure the staff were friendly, helpful and couldn’t do enough for you. Great location and pleasant experience to stay. I’ll be back with my campervan when passing through next time.

We visited for a weekday evening meal, as staying at a local cottage for the week. We found the atmosphere friendly, food came out quickly, was fresh and well cooked. The steak and ale pie was delicious filled with tender steak and sauce, veggies flavourful...

Excellent meal after morning walk around the area. Very accommodating for the two dogs. All had different main courses and all were very good. Good size portions and all tasted very fresh. The cottage pie portion was enough for two! Draught beers also very good....

Visited for lunch on Saturday 13th at midday after a long walk and had the special of the 'Chicken + Ham Pie with Veg + Chips' On the whole I would score it a generous 4 out of 5. On the plus side the setting...

We took an impromptu visit to the viaduct and after checking out the reviews, we decided to stop here for dinner. Although it seemed relatively busy, we managed to get a table next to the bar overlooking the garden and viaduct which was great…! The...

I have been trying to get in here for some time and finally managed it. It was very good in all ways that matter. Very good service throughout and no matter how busy the staff cope very well and in an excellent manner. Not a...

Called in here while visiting the viaduct which you see from the pub window. We had a sharing fish platter which was served quickly and had a nice variety of fish. The staff made us feel welcome and were very efficient.

Food was good but The lady at the bar was very abrupt and not very friendly but the food was fast service.

Warm and friendly and lively pub, good beer and pub food. Highly recommended after a long cold walk.

We only popped in for drinks while waiting for the snow to stop. Warm friendly pub with parking and friendly staff...just a stones throw from thd iconic Ribblehead Viaduct.

After an ill-advised winter scramble over Pen Y Ghent without spikes, I faced a choice. Try scaling Whernside which was shrouded in cloud and coated in ice…or nip up to Station Inn and get the train home. Very glad I chose the latter - all...

We ate here twice on holiday. I can honestly say these are the best meals we've ever had in any pub or restaurant. Fish and chips was unbelieveably crispy with light crunchy batter, huge portion. Steak and ale pie delicious too, also huge portion. Real...

Just called in on the way home, service was excellent, had a curry, the Chef was very obliging and made it extra hot, it was perfect, can't recommend highly enough.

Great pub, friendly staff good music played at the bar, cosy and the best steak pie we've had for a long time.

After a few days away on a campsite, we decided that on our way home we'd visit one of our favourite stop offs pre covid. We arrived Sunday afternoon & found space in the car park, entered the pub, asked if it was still OK for us to stop over in the carpark, was grated with, absolutely, stay as ling as you like but please use the pub, which was always our intention anyway.Bar serve was very quick & we had a couple of drinks before ordering our tea. The steak & ale pie is highly recommended, fantastic pastry. The onion ri gs are massive & the fish are the size of a whale. Extremely good value for money & dog friendly too.We ended up staying longer than planned in the pub have more drinks.Still love this place, so please to see it thriving post pandemic.

Having tackled Whernside and not wishing to come down the steep side we walked the ridge and headed back with the viaduct a tiny speck in the distance. What a fabulous remote pub just by the viaduct, so welcoming to dogs and humans by friendly, smiley staff who were keen to welcome the weary walkers. Uncoordinated with holding drinks, I managed to knock tags off the beer pumps thankfully it caused some humor and my embarrassment was minimal..Such a relaxing venue that we stayed for dinner and had the most amazing huge burgers,(accommodating the ‘no cheese’ please) best we have ever tasted. Eric enjoyed some local real ales and Poppy the dog biscuits and fresh water.So attentive were the staff and yummy food and ales that we returned after our trip up Ingleborough the following week - weren’t disappointed. Sat at the back and marveled at the fireplace and decoration while enjoying the ales and food.Well worth a visit, a really lovely relaxing and friendly place.

Lindsey and her team made us feel so welcome and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was exceptional and the atmosphere was second to none.

We stopped at the inn for a drink and to look at the viaduct on the way to visit Wensleydale cheese factory. However when we saw the menu had a lot of gluten-free dishes we decided to eat there. All I can say is yum yum. The food was excellent, I had battered haddock and chips and being gluten free. Could not believe the batter was done to perfection , needless to say we did not get to the cheese factory as all of our food was very good . The prices were very reasonable and the customer service good. We would definitely go again.

We popped in here for lunch after a walk It was pretty busy and a bit warm inside so when we ordered, we were told that we would have to come in and collect our food when it was ready. No problem there so we started on our drinks in the pretty much deserted beer garden (They do have a marquee available too but it was closed on the day we went as the tables and chairs had all been repainted we were told - at least we knew) I think it was a bit noisy in the bar area as only one part of our food order was taken and to be honest, the price of the total bill told us we had only ordered one main meal but, when it arrived, it was massive and actually was almost too much for us to share. We had the fish sandwich - not a fish finger sandwich - this was a great slab of fish in a butty with some lovely salad on the side - amazing! We had ordered some chips alongside so to be honest, we were gizzened afterwards. We would have needed some assistance if we had actually ordered two main meals. The place was clean, the loos were fresh and clean too. The only issue we had was we thought it was raining onto our patio umbrella but it was a swarm of flying ants which the pub can hardly be held responsible. Afterwards, we went up the Ribblehead railway station and the flying ants were out in force there too. I m led to believe they only swarm for a day or stwo so unlikely to be an issue for anyone else. Would definitely return here

We visit the Station inn on a wet Saturday afternoon. We have been in the pub 2 or 3 times for beers. This time we was visiting for beers and food.We arrived by train and the plan was to go walking then visit the pub later in the afternoon. Due to the heavy rain we went straight to the pub, about a 3 minute walk from Ribblehead train station.We arrived about 12.30pm and the pub was filling up nicely. We got ourselves a table near the bar but tucked out of the way. A very friendly " Hello " from the lady behind the bar. We ordered our drinks and asked if we could have a tab because we was going to order food once we had looked at the menu, " No problem " was the reply and the lady told us the soup of the day etc.We both ordered a starter and a mainSoup of the day was homemade vegetable curry which might sound a little strange but was the nicest soup I'd ever had. Lamb shank for my main and vegetable curry for my girlfriend. Both very nice. The puddings had to be done " Sticky toffee pudding "Each time we went to the bar to order food or drinks all the bar staff was very friendly.Proper pub 5*Food 5*All staff 5*

I got the ingleborough burger, my partner got the steak and ale pie. Portion sizes were huge! Both so satisfied with it we went back the next day for a fish butty and a duck salad, both delicious. If we go back we will certainly visit again.

Food a little pricey. Beautiful beer garden setting, ideally situated for short stroll to the impressive viaduct....

Compact room overlooking the Ribblehead Viaduct and Whernside. It was lovely to lay on the bed in the evening and gaze at the view.Generous meal of Cumberland Sausage in a Large Yorkshire Pudding - had a little trouble finishing it as it had been such a hot day.Choice at breakfast was much wider than I was expecting.We had a lovely stop over - the staff were very helpful and friendly.Thank you

We parked our large motorhome in the pub carpark with a wonderful view of Ribblehead Viaduct, which was a short walk from the door. Hubs and I both had homemade steak and ale pie, which was delicious. The beer was excellent and well kept (I am a former beer taster from a brewery, so I know my stuff!) The staff were all really friendly and engaging, and made our four dogs really welcome - fuss and treats all round! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this pub and will definitely go back.

Sat in the beer garden the whole time so cannot say anything of inside the pub. Service seemed slow to start, tried to get our orders without us seeing a menu, but once we had ordered very attentive service and food was great - especially the pies!! Lovely atmosphere and great view

What a fantastic find, great atmosphere, food superb, location awesome...hospitality 1st class, staff can't do enough for you...especially Hayley...thank you for making our anniversary one to remember...you even had manx kippers....

The staff here are so wonderfully friendly and the food is just excellent. We arrived when the inside was very full, so were invited to take a table in the marquee, which we did. Drinks orders were taken immediately and delivered promptly. We could have eaten in the marquee, but they said they would try to get us inside. That was achieved within a short period of time and we ordered: haddock and chips plus Cumberland sausage in a giant Yorkie with mustard mash and vegetables. They did explain there was a 20 minute wait for food,but it didn’t feel that long before it arrived, plentiful and perfectly cooked. His Nibs particularly enjoyed the dark ale (out of his three pints…..), but all were good. We most definitely will be back to this gem of a pub in a fabulous location.

Spent a night here in our campervan, sat in the beer garden and the table service was excellent and friendly - drinks ordered and received within 5 minutes each time. Food arrived within 15 minutes of ordering and was clearly home cooked and decent value.Free wifi and portaloo toilets in the carpark.As a campervan stayer, it would be great to see a takeaway English Breakfast service on a morning.

I and a group of friends visited this establishment during undertaking the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge. We entered the pub outdoor seating area with the intention of buying drinks and having our pre made packups. A young member of staff promptly came outside, saw we were eating our own food, made no issue of it whatsoever and started taking drink orders. She had served around half of the group and went indoors, she returned with an older member of staff who continued to take drinks orders. Upon completing around three quarters of the drink orders, she loudly, condescendingly and rudely announced to the entire group (in front of other customers) that we shouldn’t be eating our packups. She spoke to us in a way that was absolutely disgusting, degrading and embarrassing. The worst I have ever been spoken to in a customer service setting.She came over to me and asked if I wanted any drinks, to which I calmly said “not anymore after the way you’ve just spoken to our group”. She proceeded to wildly and aggressively shout at myself (in front of other customers) about us eating in the garden. (I did not say anything else as to calm the situation down as I felt she could become violent). She then proceeded to take more drink orders, nothing else was said from ourselves and she came back and shouted at myself again asking “if we were going to be funny with them”. We stayed for around 30 minutes and as we were about to leave the younger member of staff told us that we could not use their outdoor bins to dispose of our rubbish (a tiny amount may I add).The way we were spoken to and shouted at was absolutely disgusting, I have never had such a degrading and embarrassing experience. Firstly, there was no signs to indicate you could not eat there. Secondly, A members of staff clearly saw us eating and had no issue with it and proceeded to take drinks orders. Thirdly, we had no issues whatsoever in not eating if they didn’t want us to but they were so aggressively rude about it. Fourthly, paying customers don’t qualify for using their outdoor bins at this establishment, how poor is this?? For an establishment that gets a lot of trade from customers walking whernside, surely they would be happy to take a bit of your rubbish to save you keeping it with you all day? Obviously not!I rarely ever review establishments negatively as I would not like to affect people’s livelihoods through a review. However, the woman that spoke to us was likely a manager and I feel that she does not deserve further customers if that is the way she feels necessary to speak to people, she needs further training in customer service and the basic manners taught to people as a child, anger management classes wouldn’t go amiss either.

Great location for walks including easy Ribblehead viaduct, Whernside and base for Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge. Friendly pub staff, great pub grub and beers on draught. What’s not to like. Great views across Ribblehead viaduct from the Motorhome.

We were recommended this pub while on a short stay in the area. We had booked a table for 7 p.m. On arrival at 7 p.m. the staff first struggled to find our booking, and then struggled to find the reserved table. Once seated at a rickety table by between a plastic screen and a bookshelf, we waited for 15 minutes before having our drinks order taken. We were able to order our food when the drinks arrived, it then took around 20 minutes for the food to be served. We both had the Cumberland sausage ring which was really nice, large portion size with all the trimmings. Desert was a pear and amaretto crumble which was pleasant but not special. Overall a good meal, but the service was disappointing.

Stopped off at the Station Inn for Lunch.Reference Covid;The layout of the premises were the best I have witnessed. Lot of thought had gone into it. (Felt Safe)Staff were polite, professional & nothing wasn't too much trouble. Arrived hungry, left with a full stomach.Had the Giant Yorkshire Pudding, Bangers & Mash, were outstanding. Only a slight criticism, more gravy. (Us Northern boys love Gravy) lol. My fault should off said something.Looking forward to the next time I visit The Station Inn.

Went for a lovely Autumn walk and then went for some Sunday lunch. Food was absolutely incredible, would recommend to anyone! The had so much variety on the menu as well, so lots of different choices. Definitely will be coming back! Dog friendly as well:)

Had an evening meal in here as we were staying nearby.Decent food and beer and reasonably priced.I understand it’s recently changed hands and the service was good, the place is a bit dated but given its remote location and it’s used a lot by walkers it serves its purpose.

Stayed the night here after walking up Whernside. Everything was just as you would hope. A friendly welcome, well kept local ales, delicious evening meal, and a comfy bed. I had a room facing Ribblehead Viaduct - what a great view!The pub has been very thoughtfully adapted for social distancing, with more space between tables, extra seats in a marquee, extra outside toilets, and efficient table service.My picture is a steam train crossing the viaduct, taken from the bedroom window

Food was very reasonably priced given the portion sizes and quality. Ordered fish and chips and there was plenty to share. Service is quick. Good outdoor seating area.

Went in looking for a swift half. I was nervous as with the social distancing guidance make knowing what to do difficult. I stood in the corner trying to work out what to do and by a table. Was completely ignored by all staff in the five minutes with none even so much as saying hello. So I left. At best this was rude. Given the current climate it is not unusual for a member of the public to not know what to do, a bit of help of a word would have been lovely.

I stayed at the inn for two nights' B & B during my attempt at the 3 Peaks Challenge.The inn is as warm and welcoming as I could wish for. Michael and his team are a great team: they are friendly, personable and very, very helpful. The inn has gone to great lengths to be Covid 19 compliant and I felt extremely safe. The staff are very well versed on the distancing and H & S aspects and I was extremely impressed with the spacing and bar operation.The food is ideal and plentiful...the fish and chips was superb and I would recommend it to any "3 Peakers" with a big appetite. The bedrooms appear to have been renovated - ask for one of the rooms away from the road for a fine view of the viaduct and Whernside to wake up to.I would thoroughly recommend The Station Inn to anyone who fancies a break in the Yorkshire Dales, it's a great place to stay. Not sure I'd thoroughly recommend the 3 Peaks Challenge though! Sincere thanks to Michael and his team for their hospitality and friendliness.

Have just been here for lunch with a friend. The service and food were fantatsic. Staff brilliant and so helpful and it was so well organised for covid. Beautiful setting and beautiful place.

Booked in for a post 3 peaks feed and what a perfect way to end an amazing day. The staff were welcoming and attentive on arrival and couldn’t have done more through our meal. The waitress (didn’t catch her name) was lovely, cracking jokes and didn’t judge us (me) for having the sticky toffee pudding after eating two mains. The food was fantastic, the hummus was beautiful and the beer was spot on. We shall be back.

Wow wow wow. What a place.We brought our VW Campervan here. They offer a free stay in the car park with your van, as long as you use the pub. 24hr toilets available too.The drive here is immense, along the windy roads of the Yorkshire Dales, through bleak spots as well as quaint market towns.The pub is in a great spot. Right next to the famous Ribblehead Viaduct, and literally yards from the station. Fab views of the famous Yorkshire 3 peaks (a great place to start and finish too). There's a big beer garden as well as a big marquee with extra seating.A warm and safe welcome once we arrived and then onto the beers. A great selection of local ales was available, with plenty cider to back it up too.A good pub menu, with some fantastic plant based meals too. I had the Tofu Linguine and my wife had the Ratatouille. Obviously pub favourites like steak and kidney pie and fish and chips were available too.Dessert was a great Chocolate orange pudding with orange sorbet - again plant based. We also pre ordered breakfast, which again was superb. Standard Yorkshire brekkie available and of course we opted for the plant based full English. Lovely stuff.Knowledgeable and helpful staff too.I'm going back this Friday. Superb.

Amazing place with amazing views, staff are so welcoming and friendly and the food is to die for especially the lamb stew on a snowy cold day like today highly recommend a visit

My Son and I stayed here for a night, extremely comfy beds and warm open fires. The food was delicious and enjoyed a few pints of their own stout. The boiler had broken but it was still warm and comfortable, and they were hospitable enough to give us free accommodation and evening meal for the night to make up for the inconvenience. The staff are friendly and helpful too.

My wife and I stopped over in our campervan and where made to feel very welcome. We only bought drinks (their own Station Inn stout is ace) but were offered some sandwiches from a buffet - they were not your typical tiny triangles but chunky . Would have ordered 9ff the menu if I wasn't stuffed from the sandwiches. The place has two open fires and lots of different options for seating. It was redesigned last year and taken back over by the owners, so no more grumpy landlord. Love the place.

wwe visited here as part of out friend's birthday. 6 of the others stayed in the bunk house, we stayed at the B&B. The room was clean, big and had an amazing view of Whernside. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel really welcome. Had some great banter about rugby league and yes Bradford are better than the Rhinos!!. Ate here for dinner and the food was gorgoeus, very generous portions too. We then had our breakfast and again very nice. I have forgotten the name of the lady who took us to our room but she was very friendly and also chatted to us a lot the next morning. We are returning in March.

We visited here last night and couldn’t be happier! Friendly staff, good beer and excellent food! We would definitely visit again.

Woman behind the bar with an arm tattoo and glasses was very rude within seconds of us waking in the door. “What do you want?” The Black Sheep beer tasted nothing like black sheep and was flat and nasty tasting. Pub was empty but she made no effort to make us feel welcome and we chose to sit outside.

As a group of 14 we had been on a 6 mile walk around and we were all ready for a pint or 2 before catching the train back to settle. The Station Inn was nice and busy we had good service and the real ale was first class Thank you for the Ale and service.

A wonderful and warm welcome. Our room was spotless and bright with a great shower. Wonderful view from the window over to the Viaduct. Food absolutely delicious. We cannot fault the place or the staff. They made our stay awesome. Packed lunch was also really tasty.

I stayed in the bunk barn for two nights. Only £15/night. They kindly gave me a whole self catering dorm with bathroom and shower to myself. Had a nice meal in the cosy pub,met some nice people and a fire. Lovely.

Came here midweek unannounced after a hike from Dent with 6 colleagues and 2 dogs... welcome was friendly, more so to the dogs! Food was delicious and service was amazing. There was no rush to move us on or complaints from any walking gear we had. Accommodated is amazingly until our train later in the evening. And then came back for a weekend stay sat the stationmasters house at Ribblehead Evening meals easily booked, friendly environment and excellent service. Would recommend this place to anyone at anytime.

We visited this pub on the off chance once completing Pen-y-Ghent. Richard the bar man was so accommodating and we absolutely loved the food. It was fresh, wholesome and so tasty! We have driven past this pub many times and so upset we never visited sooner! We will definitely be returning again for some very good quality food!

Went in after a wet walk up Pen Y Ghent, we had changed into dry gear but still in need of a bit of warming up. Sat by the fire with couple of lovely pints, fabulous ploughmans for two and a bowl of cheesy chips. Absolute belter and good value. Friendly staff, beautiful interior and hot coffees finished off a cracking visit to this pub.

We enjoyed our overnight stay - our room was recently refurbished and clean and spacious and the table we had for dinner had the best view of the viaduct and incoming weather . Loved the humour of the bar staff too. And the food was excellent pub food .

The staff here and especially the manager Claire are all very friendly AND they boast the world's best view from the urinals. It looks across to the magnificent Ribblehead viaduct. What more could a man need whilst using the facilities!

We went out to see the viaduct on the day that Yorkshire experienced hailstones and the bridge was washed away. We escaped the rain in the pub just reading our books and drinking coffee. The staff are not gushing they are practical and were helpful. We were left alone, the barman explained to other visitors when they were cooking hot meals again and explained their dog policy (dogs were welcome as long as they were well behaved and didn't react to other dogs or people i.e. barking when someone walked in or at another dog). We spoke with them and agreed to return for dinner, taking a walk out to the viaduct. The meals were standard prices nowadays ranging from £10-15 but the portion size was massive.

Enjoyed a drink with friends. Our dog was made very welcome with a drink brought over, thank you. I had stopped here to use the toilet the weekend before on my 3 peaks challenge and was welcomed (I left a donation to the mounts rescue) so I returned with friends. Great place with a wonderful view from the toilet!

described as pet friendly quite happy to charge £10 per dog but overall very unpleasant attitude towards dogs, would never re-visit nor recommend

Eight of us stopped for lunch while walking around the viaduct. Welcoming staff. Good food and beer. also dog friendly.

My son and I turned up on a wet bank holiday night at 10.30pm having had our tent blow away! The landlady could not have been more helpful. She squeezed us in and we had a good, safe night sleep. I'm very grateful!

Whilst we only had a drink here having walked the viaduct the service was awesome and watching the food being served at other tables was mouth watering so we will definitely go again and this time eat there. We also had our two Yorkies with us and they were also made to feel at home

We recently bought an old VW project and decided on The Station Inn for the maiden voyage. My lass had camped out the back several times doing the three peaks. I’d never been.

Being located right next to the Ribblehead Viaduct , we did not have high expectations when we went in for lunch, but much to our great please it was a great experience.

Incredible food and extremely friendly, cost place to spend a part of your day or evening (they have rooms!) Very accommodating chefs and reasonably priced bar!

I live locally and after bad experiences with previous tenants who had bad manners and were just incredibly rude, It was Lovely to be made to feel welcome and to see many happy customers. It is still being refurbished and has a way to go but it is worth a visit

i went to pub to enquire about train times back to horton as i was a bit injured and unable to continue 3rd peak. i had just missed the only train for 4 hrs and taxi charge was £25 the barman was extremely helpful asked loads of people if they could give me a lift to my car, the bar manager agreed to give me a lift for which i was very grateful. thanks xx

A difficult one to write as everyone has high expectations after the change of management from the previously appalling one. I walked in and was surprised to see the same barman as a few months ago. Apparently he left with the previous landlord to go to the new pub but has now returned to the Station. He was a sight more welcoming than last time when he was refusing to give drinks in glass if we were going outside because he couldn't have glass thrown all over the road??? However no warm food as according to him the kitchen has been "condemned ", his exact words. The beer from Settle brewery is £3.95 a pint where it is £3.00 just about everywhere else in the valley, including at the New Inn at Clapham under their new management. The barman said that the price was due to extra travel charges from the brewery, something I know to be a porkie. The beer to be fair was decent even if obscenely expensive. This time the pub had at least got rid of Kerrang on the tv, the heavy metal channel that was blasting out last time. Pub still has no WiFi, no reading matter etc and is still not aimed at attracting locals, cavers, regular walkers back in. It seems aimed purely at the occasional visitor who won't complain about its shortcomings. Something other than a change of name above the door needs to happen before this pub again becomes the glorious spot it used to be. This will mean pricing, staffing (or at least some proper training for staff who are remaining from the previous managers) , and generally trying to lift the place out of the doldrums. If it stays the way it is now it will have more dreadful reviews, be totally lacking in local trade etc. A statement that there has been a change of management is just not enough. Sad because this used to be a local for me and was superb. It gives me no pleasure to write a poor review because nothing would give me more pleasure than to wholeheartedly recommend it. Time to pull your fingers out guys to get those good reviews.

Popped in on Saturday after watching the Flying Scotsman and able to confirm new people are running it, which will no doubt be a joy to all that the previous landlord had managed to offend or drove away ( including myself).

The bartender had an attitude and the ham pie was really bad. Toilet was not clean. The soup was allright though.

Been to the station pub few years back before the new bar movement. Must same was better then . The ales were artful if I had gone outside and filled my glass up from a dog bowl it would have been better. And expensive to boot. My wife wanted half rice and chips with her chillie when I asked the land lady was quite rude NO YOU CAN NOT !! Also she wanted a coffee after her lunch . Chap behind the bar said . NO CHANCE ON A SATURDAY WHEN IT'S BUSY. ?? And he was rude said there's a Starbucks not far ???. He looked like he just got out of bed the scruffy sod. Food was ok . But it's a dirty place . floors dirty one of them places cause there's no were else close by they have you over a barrel with the prices of the drinks. Young lass behind bar coughing her guts up glade he wasn't serving the food . All in all not a great experience considering the amount of money we spent and the rudeness. Won't be returning much better places to spend our time and money .

Very welcoming and seriously improved Pub, bar area completely refurbished and the new owners make one truly welcome.

After a long day out in the Dales, a group of us called here for a pint. We were somewhat taken back by the “greeting” we received on arrival, however after reading other reviews about the Station Inn as we travelled home on the train, we understood that was not unusual. It was however a fine pint of beer.

I stayed here on the second day of walking The Dales Way, the welcome wasn't the friendliest after walking all day in the pouring rain but at least I got a bunk for £15 which I thought was very cheap. Very standard room and not the comfiest mattress but that didn't really to me but I can see why it would to others.

£90 B&B; bed with bars/rails digging into me every 4 inches down my body all night - even after 15 miles of walking the Dales Way impossible to get a decent sleep. After the 3rd call to Alan, the owner of the pub, with me asking for a £25 refund (out of £90) and Alan not budging from offering a £10 refund, woefully inadequate given such a deteriorated mattress, I decided the only fair way is to let others thinking of staying there to avoid it at all costs and not make the 3-mile round trip deviation off the Dales Way. If you consider life too short to stay at an inadequate accommodation then it's much better to push on towards a B&B; along the Cowgill Road

A group of 4 of us stopped at the pub after completing the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge. Rooms were £80 for two people including breakfast.

Location great for a pit stop for the walkers of the 3 peaks like us. Unfortunately, they had stopped food but the menu looked good and had a nice variety of food. Great range of drinks and snacks on the bar. Man behind the bar was friendly and jokey. Had a nice drink outside on the benches before continuing our walk!
