The New Inn

Lovely food.

I had room 10 it was like a little cottage with its own central heating controls. The bed and bedding were lovely and comfortable. Hot water was plentiful. I had the steak and ale pie for tea with included parsnip sudes, chips and broccoli it was delicious. The range of made on site real ales was impressive. Breakfast was well presented, the full english came with locally sourced sausages. I left feeling very full.

With the exception of the meal serving staff, I found a reluctance to be friendly. The meals were mediocre, frozen fish served with fish and chips, bacon in the morning tough. On the plus side, towels and sheets crisp and white and the Cropton Classic bitter was delicious. However, there are better places in the area to stay.

Having a pub with its own brewery as a neighbour (albeit temporarily as we stayed nearby!) was heaven - and far too convenient! I did just about work my way through their selection of beers and we ate both Sunday lunch (booking required!) and evening meals there - both good.

We wanted to stay over to make the most of the brewery tour and tasting. Opted for the tour/meal option and not disappointed. Food was great - beware large portions! Never had a yorkshire pudding wrap before. Room had character, was clean and comfy. Included toiletries and refreshment tray with usual tea/coffee and packets of biscuits.

Traditional pub with the nearby brewery's beer on sale. Also cropton brewery cider. It's quite a small pub, decorated in traditional pub style. it has a sheltered beer garden and a large family room downstairs, which I presume is used in summer. We didn't eat there, but the food service was very popular, so must be good.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice choice of beer from brewery on offer. Food gorgeous but not vast range available. Smallish bar and restaurant. Room comfortable, nicely set up and warm. Decor needs attention with bit of damp in some areas and some dusty. Was a lovely stay.

A lovley little hotel, fab food and lovely welcoming staff. We stayed in the family room (4) it has a modern bathroom and a good sized bedroom (we didnt use the pull out bed, i expect it would be very cramped with that in use). The hotel is very old so we didnt expect it to be perfect but there is quite alot of black mould in the room, its in the corners, around the windows and on the celing, as an asthmatic this did worry me so i probably wont return due to that. I couldnt fault anything else though, the restaurant on the evening served delicious food, the breakfast was excellent and the staff were super friendly. The beds were comfortable, the rest of the room was clean, and the location was lovely.

Our daughter bought us an experience day for Chris**as for this place. It included a tour of the brewery, a three course meal, bed and breakfast, beer samples along the way during the tour, and to take a gift pack including beer and glassware home with you. We arrived at 1pm and the tour was at 2pm. We couldn't have the room until after 2pm which wasn't a problem as we would do the tour first. Told the guy behind the bar what we were there for and he just said that the tour didn't start until 2 and did we want a drink while we waited. The same guy - Josh- did the tour and all we were told was how things worked. Didn't see anything working so weren't able to do any sample tasting along the way. We finally got taken up to our room at 4pm and Josh asked if we would like a table booking for our meal so we said 6pm. There wasn't any towels or soap/shower gel in the room, we had to ask for them. The towels were just dumped on the floor outside the room while we were downstairs eating. Still no shower gel. Went down just before 6 and no table booked and was just told "oh, you can sit there if you want or go into the other room". We were taken to another room, given a menu and we told them we eye on the experience day. That menu was taken off us and another smaller given to us. Next morning we opened the room door to go down for breakfast and the tiniest tube of shower gel was on the floor. Walked in for breakfast gave the woman our room number to be told that there wasn't a table for us!!. She went to a table which had crumbs on quickly brushed them onto the floor and then set the table for us. Didn't even wipe it. Tea pot was all stained and breakfast was dry. Went to check out and asked about the gift pack and glassware that we should get. The woman said to just take one of the gift packs out of the window so again I asked about the glassware. She took a glass from under the bar that they use for customers and said that was all they had. I didn't want a glass that others had used so told her to forget it. Not a very good experience and I wouldn't recommend the place to anyone.
