“You won't be disappointed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The Tempest was recommended to us by friends and I'm only too happy to pass the recommendation on to others. We had a two night break which included dinner, bed and breakfast at a very reasonable rate. Our room was delightful, on the first floor and overlooking a stream and fields. It was well equipped with plenty of space and funiture and everything was spotlessly clean, including the good-sized bathroom. Breakfast was very good and the menu for the evening meal seemed endless! We really enjoyed our evening meal and judging by the number of people dining, the restaurant also seems very popular with the locals.
Couldn't fault the staff or the service at all. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble and everyone seemed keen to ensure that guests would have an enjoyable experience. Just a small thing, but when I asked the barman what a particular beer was like he gave me a sample to try first. That's the way to treat customers.

“Wish this was my 2nd Home....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012

4th Visit ...as a Post Christmas treat booked Exc Suite... Beautiful room and all those little extras make a weekend away " Special " Bathroom was divine... had 2 hot leisurely soaks in one weekend ! Loved the flapjack and bottled water/ towelling robes... Dined in the pub both nights as we adore the Menu. My only criticism is it is a bit of a wait for food but that is because it is so popular and busy, which is a sign of good quality meals.I We found the wine reasonably priced for a bottle so didn't mind relaxing while we waited. You can get some really good deal on the Room Rates so that makes the whole experience amazing. I will be returning and returning.....

“ideal stopping point for lunch”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

If heading for the Yorkshire Dales this is the ideal place for lunch. Even when as usual the car parks are packed there is still plenty of room inside and the service is still prompt. The menu has something for everyone, even those who remember the war. There are several good pubs in the area but the Tempest stands out as the best.

“short break”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

This a really impressive small hotel and country Inn with excellent food and superb accomodation. The staff could not be more attentive and the general attention to detail is excellent. The rooms vary from very nice rooms to executive suites.

Room Tip: not saying dont want you to take the best rooms
