    Absolutely loved the shepherds huts and it was great that we were so near to the craven arms that we ate in both nights

    I booked this trip as a weekend get away with my husband for his birthday & our 6th wedding anniversary celebration. We arrived in the Friday to a warm welcome from staff in Craven Arms pub and had a drink then went up to the hut. It was warm, very clean, a lovely breakfast hamper with tea coffee pastries and porridge pots. The bed was comfy & shower was great! We ate at craven arms on both evenings & the staff were very accommodating and even reserved us a table for the Saturday evening with out us even asking, which was nice after a long walk that day! The food was delicious and a good variety of beverages to choose from. We really enjoyed our stay and will be returning! Thank you

    Beautiful surroundings the local people where very welcoming , food at the craven arms was very good but limited menu We'd sit outside on evening & all you could hear was the waterfall a few miles away Breathtaking the hut itself was in a great location behind the craven arms Very well decorated clean with underfloor heating , I think only downside was lack of phone signal & you'd have to go outside to connect to the pub WiFi but hey that's what going out to the remote countryside is all about right re connecting with what's actually important just being you no distractions All in all a amazing experience

    Loved the hut, mattress a little hard and could do with a better quilt it was very thin, other than that it was perfect and the breakfast box was very nice.

    Very comfortable bed , and hut had been brilliantly planned and constructed, so as to give best possible facilities in limited space. Staff in the main building were friendly and helpful and set a relaxed and happy tone for visitors. Very useful walking info in the guest folder enabled us to enjoy the area better than we'd planned ourselves.

    I would of liked an undercover seated area maybe a slight porch. also to be further apart from the other huts. although this would be quite difficult with the limited space.

    the property was just beautifully built and kept. lovely spot with great walks. The food at the craven arms pub was amazing. definitely go have the steak pie if your passing.

    The WiFi from the pub was barely useable within the hut. It's a bit cramped, but it would be wouldn't it? Hence a short stay for us only.

    Our first stay in a Shepherd's Hut so it was a novel experience. It's good for a short romantic break but it is very small. We are glad we stayed but I think it's a one-off. Located behind an excellent pub that serves good food. In 10 minutes you can be walking along the River Wharfe. A really excellent location for walking.
