Log fire luxury for Settle to Carlisle.

This is an excellent and very accommodating, comfortable hotel that is perfectly placed for rail travellers on the world famous Settle to Carlisle Railway. Our room was comfortable, warm and the beds were better than home. Great breakfast, reasonably priced ale, log fires topped up! No complaints.

8/10 Very good

Great location and good value for money. Parking in nearby public car park. Lovely bar However lousy coffee at breakfast. Pod machine from room was the solution.
Russell, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommended

Very clean. Room recently redecorated to a very high standard. Lovely welcome tray with good choice of tea and coffee and some local fudge. I was offered a flask with fresh milk for my room. Great attention to detail.
Sue, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Average Stay.

The hotel has the potential to be lovely but the room decor is very tired. The bathroom is tiny with a minuscule shower stall and nowhere to store anything. The room although spacious was badly in need of a deep clean especially the carpet which was very badly stained. The restaurant was just OK. The staff however made up for the other shortcomings.

Lovely pub, cosy rooms, fantastic food and friendly service
Matt, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff were amazing - we arrived slightly later and they found us a table and served us a dinner in double quick time - the wine was excellent too. Room was as expected for a country inn in Settle. Breakfast was good too.
Mary, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Short stay for a local wedding

The room was lovely, bathroom wasn’t as clean as it could’ve been and the hot water at the sink was dangerously hot. The shower was great though, really powerful. The bed was comfortable and we both slept really well. The breakfast was nice but small portions for the full English. I think the jars of jam etc are a bit of a waste, maybe some smaller tubs might be better. All the staff were amazing, friendly and good service.
Nichola, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Central position lovely hotel. Room Attractive decor, clean and comfy bed. Tea/ coffee & water supplied. However it was a Very warm evening and a little noisy as room over overlooked courtyard. Food and drinks rather expensive, menu traditional but really nice. We would stay again if in the area.

Excellent breakfast
Jennifer, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed at the Golden Lion with friends as we were walking the 3 peaks on the Friday, we both stayed in a classic room, the rooms were lovely, comfy bed, hair dryer, shampoo and conditioner, tea and coffee and bottled water, don't forget to ask for milk before bed. We ate in the restaurant both nights, the food was lovely and we had great service. We had asked for breakfast the morning of our walk as we had to leave at half 6, unfortunately they forgot to leave out any bread or bowls for cereal, which was a bit disappointing. We had the full breakfast on the Saturday morning which was delicious and again the service was great. Would definitely recommend

Great staff. Very nice hotel. We were at a concert and was a shame that the bar closed so early as would have loved a pint after.

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent food and drinks, very welcoming

Lovely hotel with great rooms, good selection of coffees teas and local fudge. Fresh milk provided to take to your room. Great range of beds, bowls and treats for dogs too. Meals were excellent and the staff, Sarah and Rob (and the others too) went above and beyond to make us all feel welcome and sort gluten free information for one of our party. Will definitely go back.

A welcoming, relaxing stay

Welcoming and comfortable stay. We enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Golden Lion. A very friendly and well run place. The staff worked hard to ensure we and our dog had a fantastic break. The food was excellent and the room had all we could want.

Fantastic place to stay in a really lovely town

Really clean and nice place to stay. Great food and a nice friendly atmosphere in the pub. My friend & I were doing the 3 peaks challenge the next morning and the hotel made arrangements for breakfast to be left out early for us so we could have something before we left.
