Having heard a lot of good comments and recommendations for the Heifer we spent 3 nights there earlier this month and were not disappointed. We could not fault anything and had a memorable stay and fully intend to return in the future. more

Found the pub in a book called "English Country Pubs" published 1986, so it's clearly changed completely since then - I can't say for better or for worse as I'd never been before. One thing I can say is that I've recommended this place already to everyone who's asked about our trip to the Dales. The waitress, Carly, was friendly,... more

We stayed at the Heifer for two nights in August 2009 to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary, having already sampled the restaurant the previous November. It is located in the picturesque village of West Witton in the heart of Wensleydale on the main Leyburn to Hawes road. There are a variety of great walks starting on the hotel doorstep, including... more

I don't often write reports but having read the negative report on the Hotel i was motivated to act. I strongly disagree with all comments other than the car park can be busy but we have always found a space. We have stayed three times at the Heifer in the last year and have another visit booked with family on... more

My wife and I celebrated her 60th birthday and our wedding anniversary on 29 July at this wonderful North Yorkshire hotel. From start to finish of our 3-day stay everything was of the highest standard - reception, bedroom, ambience, friendly and attentive staff, mouthwatering food (especially the fish and seafood). , For our special day they organised red roses for... more

This is a very small place - and with an identity crisis; the restaurant customers seem to come first and hotel residents a poor second. It has 9 Hotel rooms plus around 60 seats in the restaurant that will take over the Bar and everywhere else if customers book meals. The car park will only hold about 22 vehicles -... more

This is the third time we have visited the Wensleydale Heifer for an evening meal and each time we have eaten here we have been very impressed. The restaurant - while not the largest - is beautifully decorated with a range of artwork and quirky bits and bobs and the staff are attentive. We have never been disappointed with the... more

This was our 3rd stay at the Heifer, and, having enjoyed it so much previously, we decided to extend our weekend to 4 nights. One of the factors which drove our choice originally is the Heifer’s ‘dog-friendliness’, though ‘non-doggy’ people shouldn’t be concerned about this as our room was not only found to be spotless on our arrival, but also... more

We went for a meal to the Heifer last year and decided to return, this time booking one of their themed rooms as well. We, once again, weren't disappointed. We stayed in the Middleham racing room (mainly because it was the only one left when we booked). The room was very comfortable with a glorious view over the river. The... more
