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
Absolutely brilliant stay - great location, really warm and friendly welcome, incredible room (junior suite), lovely outdoor Christmas set up. I didn't eat there but can imagine it being delicious. Lovely staff on this morning for checkout. I will definately be returning at some point! Highly recommended.
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.
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
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.
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 .
The room were clean, comfortable and well appointed with tea and coffee facilities. Bathroom was spotless with shower gel and shampoo provided and extra large fluffy bath sheets. A little warm due to excessive summer temperatures, however fans and air conditioning units were provided. Fresh milk and cold drinking water and ice was available at the bar which was a nice touch. We didn’t end up eating in the restaurant due to complicated dietary requirements, however everything looked delicious. Across the road is a lovely canal walk and the town itself has good shops and cafes.
Lovely pub & accommodation, the small room was big enough for us. Loved the little extra touches in the rooms. Good location. Brilliant powerful shower!! Quiet from downstairs but slamming doors from other guests disturbed us all weekend. Also water pipe noise continuously throughout the night. Lovely blinds but let light In & so not dark enough on a summer morning. Would love to stay again with earplugs & eyemask!
