We've stayed twice at Rowleth End and had a wonderful experience both times. Our second visit was for our anniversary, and a complementary bottle of champagne awaited us. Roger's thoughtfulness and attention to detail is impeccable; he has really thought of everything that could add to your comfort and convenience.

Real tea and coffee are served on request, with a plate of biscuits, in the drawing room at any time (for free). The room includes posh soft drinks, and high quality bath products, as well as bath robes, teddy bears, and even binoculars for admiring the spectacular view over the valley. Roger is completely accommodating over things such as arrival time, using his phone, and making use of the downstairs facilities after checking out. He has laminated cards with local walks available to borrow.

Dinner is optional, and very much recommended. Good use is made of local produce. The atmosphere is of a dinner party. We enjoyed three delicious courses, plus local cheeses. Breakfast is also a magnificent spread, and filled us up for the day.

We couldn't recommend staying here highly enough. Treat yourself. With everything that's included, and it all being of such high quality, it's very good value.

Just got back from a wonderfully relaxing break at Rowleth End struggling to find anything negative to stay. From start to finish everything was just right, Roger and his team of helpers have the exact balance of relaxed, friendly and welcoming hospitality without being overpowering. The food was delicious, all served in the wonderful dining room complete with crisp white linen, a roaring fire and candles, we had the dining room to ourselves and it felt like our very own Downton Abbey! If you think evening meals in a B&B aren't your thing you really should give this a try, we had 3 courses followed by cheese and coffee for £23 per head and it was such a lovely experience i cant fault it. The property is immaculate and beautifully furnished, there is a dining room, drawing room and bar with a TV all for guests to use. The attention to detail in every aspect is remarkable from the way the tables are laid to the fresh flowers in our room. Roger provides maps of local walks all listed out with directions then laminated to make it really easy to plan your route. The house itself has no TV's (other than one in the bar) which makes for a truly relaxing stay. There is such a feeling of peace in the house and it has a quiet that i don't think i have ever experienced before. We took our dog who was made to feel really welcome and enjoyed playing in the garden with Buster the resident Labrador. There are some really good pubs in the villages nearby serving home cooked food and some wonderful scenery. A wonderful, unique place that you can't fail to enjoy.

We stayed at Rowleth end over 2 nights in October half term. Roger, our host, couldn't do enough to make our stay relaxing. He cultivates a 'house party' atmosphere where the guest are encouraged to make themselves at home in the art deco surroundings. The bedroom we had (number 5) was warm and beautifully appointed with wonderful views across the dale. Dinner was excellent (leave room for the local cheeses at the end) and we repaired into Roger's snug bar to round off the evening with our fellow guests. Breakfast was great to! Roger deserves to do well with Rowleth End; he made us feel so comfortable and spoilt.

Roger and his team run a truly wonderful B&B/Guest house.
Rooms and room amenities above expectation and Roger's cooking a delight. In a lovely spot by the river in Swaledale and after fifty miles in the saddle we couldn't have asked for a better home from home. This is my first posting on TA but I felt I had to write because this place was a delightful find and I recommend it strongly. Thanks to all at Rowleth End.
