Services
The Craven Arms hotel and restaurant is located in Giggleswick near Settle, part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. We did not want to move away from this beautiful area as our children attend local schools and we love living in the Yorkshire Dales. So when The Craven Arms became available we soon realised it would be an ideal opportunity for us as a family to take on another challenge.
Our chefs pride themselves on sourcing the finest local produce to create delicious, enjoyable food. Our restaurant caters for every taste, from traditional, hearty Yorkshire food to more contemporary dishes with a good selection of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options & an ever changing 'specials' menu.
You will receive a genuinely warm welcome here at The Craven Arms with first class service and hospitality. All our recently refurbished eight bedrooms have ensuite facilities, flat screen T.V's, complimentary toiletries, tea and coffee making facilities and a nice comfy bed. A perfect retreat after a long day on the hills or exploring the Yorkshire Dales and surrounding countryside.
The Craven Arms is ideally placed for a range of outdoor activities in the Yorkshire Dales, Giggleswick and Settle. The Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge takes on the peaks of Pen-y-ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough, usually in this order, and in under 12 hours. These peaks form part of the Pennine range, and encircle the head of the valley of the River Ribble, in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Wow, just wow. Lovely location, absolutely gorgeous food. We had Sunday lunch, shared starters of Salt & pepper whitebait and Crispy halloumi which were absolutely divine. Followed by Slow braised lamb shoulder and Roast loin of pork which were just perfect. Generous portions meant that we couldn't squeeze in a pudding.
The staff were really friendly and accommodating [we arrived an hour early for our meal]
Very highly recommended and when we are in the area we will be back.

The service was faultless and the décor was pleasing. My wife's Greek meal was very enjoyable. My Braised Beef Wellington was a disappointment. It was well cooked (maybe a little overdone, but ok) but it's far removed from a Beef Wellington proper. We'll visit again and try something different - it's a nice place with nice staff.

We booked a table but only just got there before service stopped. The landlord and staff couldn't be more accommodating and helpful, nothing was restricted from the menu. Portion size is excellent and value for money can't be argued, would happily have paid more. The beef wellington and sticky toffee pudding were particularly well received. Thanks for a very enjoyable visit.

The room was comfortable though as it was an extremely warm night, I wish we could have opened the window more for good ventilation (perhaps a fan in the room would be a good idea) though that would have meant a lot of noise from the main road next to the hotel. But these are minor moans - the staff and the food were absolutely fantastic and we would definitely stay again. We asked for our compliments to be given to the chef. Our bed was extremely comfy and the room was spotlessly clean. Thank you so much.

A nice pub that does good homely food. It had the advantage of still having some tables left when we tried to book the day before. It's got some good beers and the food is nice without being exceptional. The beef Wellington was lovely though felt more like a pie. The starters were a little lack luster. I would say you won't leave hungry, portions are generous and staff are nice.
