We stayed for just one night as part of a birthday weekend in the Dales and were not disappointed. There was a warm welcome on arrival, lovely bedroom, a charming and relaxing guest lounge area and very attentive staff. The meal experience was first class just what was expected from the pedigree of the Chef/Owner. After a most relaxing night... More

Always wanted to stay and eat here and the food didn't disappoint , it was wonderful, the lamb confit melted in the mouth , the flavours of the rhubarb dessert was truly lovely........but disappointed on the room small and a bit dingy but nothing that a brighter lick of paint would cure as it was painted a curious orangey custard...

It's not very often that you genuinely can't think of a single improvement when staying at a hotel, but after our one night stay at the General Tarleton, that's exactly how we felt ! The staff were excellent ; friendly, attentive, and went that extra mile to make sure that we were more than happy during our stay. Our room... More

Once checked in we were lost at the back of a lunch party so had to move attract attention and to then get to enjoy the coffee. The rooms although fairly functional are very comfortable with fluffy towels and Molten Brown... More

Had our fourth anniversary here inspired by the cookery books of John Tophams that we use at home. We were not disappointed. Stunning, stunning food. A master at putting flavours together. A completely delightful evening and the room was lovely too. It's billed as a restaurant with rooms. I would fully agree...an incredible restaurant. We will go back!

Second visit in 6 weeks and I have to say it was even better than the first. Stayed in room 14 which is decorated in calming pastel shades. Immaculate throughout although the bath does need re sealing and the extractor fan in the bathroom is rather noisy. That said it was fabulous. The service was first class and the food... More
