Top Things to do in Yorkshire Dales National Park
10 Top-Rated Hotels in Yorkshire Dales National Park, North Yorkshire, England
One visit to the Yorkshire Dales and it’s easy to understand why the unspoiled countryside is the setting of so many novels. Must-see sights among the land’s lush woodlands and expansive moors include Hardraw Force (the longest single-drop waterfall in the North), Gordale Scar, and well-known hill range, the Three Peaks. Less adventurous visitors can rest easy, walking through the manicured lawns of Parcevall Hall Gardens or appreciating Skipton Castle’s medieval architecture. Although some prefer to take in the land’s wild beauty by foot or horse, the most popular way is via one of the park’s famed cycling routes.

Aysgarth Falls Hotel
Reviewed By hols17onHad a relaxing stay here mid week. We were on the second floor which is a steep narrow climb so not for anyone with mobility issues.The staff are very pleasant and helpful. The restaurant meals were very good and you certainly won't be hungry. Would recommend the Eggs Benedict as a lovely alternative to a typical breakfast fry.

Excellent food and good bar selection
Reviewed By MattfromDerbyI came with a group of friends for dinner a couple of Saturdays ago, so this review is for the restaurant only. Excellent food, good beer, a wide selection of interesting spirits, and a nice atmosphere. Couldn't fault it. I understand that it recently had a new chef or something like that. Well, he or she is doing an excellent job!

Room For Improvement
Reviewed By OldBearWe received a nice friendly welcome from Charlie and two ladies at reception. Our room (10) was lovely, an open four poster bed with a walk-in shower, but there was nowhere to put our toiletries. We had nice views of the lawn and hills in the distance. It was nice to see the sheep, newly born lambs and some hares and rabbits in the nearby fields. We enjoyed some drinks in the bar and in the lounge, the Pheasant Plucker ran out before the glass could be filled. They had no replacement so I had to have Hen Harrier. My wife enjoyed Blueberry G&T’s. Our evening meal was good, nothing to write home about. There was a limited choices on the menu, just four of starters, mains and desserts. A couple more mains choices would be better. I ordered drinks and a starter of Goats Cheese Tart. The Tart arrived within 4 minutes and the drinks about 5 minutes later. My wife’s main of Lamb Koftas tasted okay, The pita bread had been over cooked and was dry. After complaining, It was quickly replaced with a freshly prepared one. My mains, Sea Bass Fillets (2) and a scallop in batter with egg noodles would have been outstanding if only it had been served on a hot plate. The noodles soon went cool. The broth and in particular the scallop in batter was delicious, I could have eaten four of the scallops. Our Desserts were Caramel & Chocolate Tart, I was very pleased with it, but the Baked Alaska was a disaster, the ice cream had melted! We had a good nights sleep in our Kingsize bed but slept near the middle because it was only fitted with a double duvet ! Surely they must have Kingsize Duvets! Breakfast was very good, I couldn’t fault it, plenty of additional choices besides ‘a full English’. All staff were friendly and helpful. The Falcon Manor is a lovely hotel which has some incredibly nice features. If your wanting a place to chill out away from the hustle and bustle then I can highly recommend it. The grounds are lovely and I can see in warmer days how nice it would be to sit outside with a drink, relaxing, chatting or reading a book. I’ll leave the choice to you! On checking out we were asked about our stay, so mentioned only about the food. The manager without hesitation reduced our final bill to take account of our evening meal issues......... and Yes, I would stay here again, but only bed and breakfast. This was out first stay here, we have stayed on several occasions at one of their sister hotels, The Royal Hotel in Kirkby Lonsdale. Both are quite different regarding locations and things to see and do.
8. The Buck Inn

Built in 1874 on the site of an old coaching inn.,The Buck is set in the centre of the picturesque village of Malham. The landscape is breathtakingly beautiful and quiet, offering you a break from the noisy cosmopolitan life of the big cities, yet its only a short drive from Leeds, York and Greater Manchester. Offering en-suite accommodation, traditional pub atmosphere and a varied food menu, The Buck is a great base for walking & exploring The Dales & surrounding areas.

Beautiful views
Reviewed By jane111111111Well appointed room with a beautiful view. Stair carpet is not in keeping with the rest of the hotel. The stripes were awful and it is worn in places. The bed was far too soft for me and gave me a bad back. They did not fully service the room during our 3 night stay. The bed was made and towels folded, but no cleaning was done. ( the table which had the tea and coffee on could have done with a wipe). Nice touch to have some crisps and biscuits in the room on arrival.

Another excellent stay
Reviewed By Muddyboots2015Our third visit to Burgoyne, staying in Gunnerside with lovely views over the Green. Large spacious room with en-suite bathroom. At the end of our week in the Dales, we returned to Reeth, staying in Thwaite, which has a perfect window seat overlooking the green too. It has a private bathroom directly opposite the room.
