Clean comfortable room, very good food and super staff
My fifth time at the Grantham Arms in 4 years and it's always excellent. Lovely staff, fun, clean rooms and really comfortable beds. What's not to love about a place that maintains such consistently good standards? Breakfast was also beautifully cooked as well.

The deluxe twin room we had was very well appointed and the bed was very comfortable. Quiet too as it was in an annexe set back from the road.

Very good and easy check in. As a coeliac they also catered very well with the pub having a gluten free beer and gluten free cereal option. Breakfast was excellent with local bacon and great service from the staff
Wonderful! Great staff, room was very comfortable, food was exceptional!

Cosy, inviting and welcoming from start to finish. The staff were attentive and the service was faultless.
Rooms are clean and plush. An enjoyable stay x
Despite a couple of minor issues the staff were apologetic and immediately came up with a solution that we were impressed with. The food is great! And the rooms are lovely (amazing showers)!! We live staying here and will be back.
We had a fabulous two days at the Grantham Arms, the property was clean, the staff were so friendly, helpful and could not do enough for us, plus the room was lovely.
We booked the breakfast and this was amazing, cooked to perfection for us.
We will definitely go there again.
What a find in a beautiful area. Short trip off the A1 and absolutely stunning pub with rooms. Rooms were great, comfortable clean and has everything you will need for a good stay. Dinner was really tasty. Didn’t stop for breakfast but can only imagine how nice it would be.
Would definitely recommend and would stay next time I am in the area
Our first stay here with friends , but won’t be our last Will return with our pooch as also dog friendly.
Very helpful and friendly Staff , rooms clean and comfortable, evening meal and breakfast both excellent.
Great location for visiting various parts of north Yorkshire .

Almost faultless. Unfortunately heating goes off during the night which meant the room got very cold. Was given extra blankets on request
