The Sawley Arms

We stopped at this Inn whilst touring in the Dales. We only had time for a quick lunch but wish we had stayed there! A great lunch was provided very promptly and served by such a lovely lady. We had a look around before leaving and found the Inn to be immaculate and very welcoming. We will be looking to stay there on our next visit to the Yorkshire Dales.

Fantastic overnight stay. Food was excellent and my room was beautiful with everything that you could think of. Very welcoming staff as well. Makes a great base to explore Fountains Abbey and the surrounding countryside. Will definitely go back.

Stayed for five nights in an excellent room - first rate facilities, esp bathroom. Slight criticism: bed linen and towels unappealing colour and towels rather thin. Pub warm and comfortable, very friendly, staff helpful, excellent breakfasts. Dined in twice. Appreciated the special offer on steak night but winter menu otherwise rather dull, limited and overpriced. Over all an enjoyable stay but not outstanding value for money.

Excellent accommodation , we booked the twin delux room and it was immaculate and detached from the main pub . Really can’t fault it . The food was amazing and all the staff were very friendly and accommodating . The outside area & beer garden all immaculate . I’d highly recommend this as a place to stay and will definitely be back 😊

The people were so very friendly food wonderful very smart bedroom thoroughly enjoyed my stay would definitely return

After a recommendation from friends I booked the Sawley Arms to attend a local wedding. This truly was a wonderful stay in a delightful village setting. A beautiful room with cool lighting effects, a comfy bed, stunning bathroom which has a tv too. Complimentary tea and coffee. Breakfast was fabulous in quality and variety, the service friendly and efficient. This was a most enjoyable experience made especially memorable from the warmest of welcomes and high standard of hospitality throughout. Highly recommended.

We wanted to stay somewhere a little bit rural and cosy but still with easy reach of the nearby bustling towns and cities of Harrogate, Ripon and Knaresborough ...and this pub/ Hotel ticked all thd boxes and so much more . From the moment we arrived we we're greeted with a friendly front of house team and shown to our beautiful and spotless room. The bed was super comfy and i loved the molten brown products in the bathroom, my absolute favourite. For our evening meal we booked a table for 7pm , we sat next to a roaring log fire and tucked into our home-made fish and chip's which we're so tasty and fresh. Again the staff we so attentive and looked after our every need. Breakfast was out of this world!!! Lets just say we didn't leave feeling hungry..the sausages and black pudding were the best we had ever tasted ..i was told by the waitress everything fresh is locally sourced which is great to hear. Absolute gem of a place..definitely be back in the summer.

Tanya, Estelle, Tim and the Scouse supporter were so friendly and helpful. The accommodation was immaculately clean and well maintained. Food was lovely and reasonably priced. We definitely plan to revisit soon. The only improvement I would suggest is to have ironing facilities in the room for guest”s convenience. Thanks to all for such a great stay!

Lovely staff, great rooms recently done, beautiful area
