We went to this restaurant as the one we had booked had a power cut. The Friars Head is beautiful inside, and overall the food was nice, a tad bit overpriced but still nice. We were sat in what appeared to be the conservatory, last table on the right hand side, by the fake orange tree. It was unfortunate that the area was covered with flies. As we sat down the waitress removed 3 dead ones off the table, but then they continued to drop around us, in the end we counted 12 dead flies by the time we finished our first course. We didnât stay for the rest, got the bill and left. The table we were sat at was covered with others spilling and overall messy. As we left the restaurant we looked at other tables and they seemed ok and clean. Maybe we got unlucky, but I am not going to return there.

We were visiting Leyburn and decided to have a coffee and a snack here. The staff are very friendly. We had frothy coffee and a fruit scone each. The frothy coffee was really nice and the scones were crumbly on the outside but nice and soft inside. We really enjoyed the coffee and scones. Itâs a great place to eat!

Having looked at a few of your past reviews it seems that you have a problem with sourdough bread at various establishments. We also serve malted bloomers and white bloomers, had you been concerned that we don't offer sourdough. I uploaded two recent photos to our profile this evening - we are a haven for cyclists stopping off for a quick refuel. We even had the pleasure of welcoming the GB cycling team over the UCI weekend! I can assure you that we welcome everyone to our tearoom. Best wishes, John

Traditional country inn with flagged floors and low beams.

We visited The Three Horseshoes whilst on a visit to the White Rose Candle wokshop next door.The inside of the pub is light, open plan and suitable for bringing your dog. All of the staff were friendly throughout our visit, especially when it came to fussing over our dog.There's a nice selection of local ales on sale, most notably the Wensleydale Brewery.The food is of a very good quality. I decided to have a Bacon Bap with Chips on this occasion and the bacon tasted of a very high quality rather than mass produced fare.The only concern expressed by the people in my party about the lunch was the size of the portion which was very large and unexpected. (They had the Hot Beef and Onion Baguette with Chips). One of the party suggested having a two tier approach due to the size of the baguette with the current of option with chips and a slightly cheaper option without chips.The Three Horseshoes is a nice pub in a lovely village which is ideal to visit as part of a wider tour of the Dales region whether you're travelling by car, like we did, or on foot. (There was a leaflet available promoting circular walks of various distances with the pub as the focus).

Ordered beef medallions- supposedly with fondant potatoes- got one old roast potato with dodgy sauce full of cornflour! £24.50! Staggering- pub food at its worstThanks for taking the time to review your meal. You did in fact get fondant potato, braised for an hour in stock and butter, no semblance to a roast......it came with 8 oz of Beef Fillet cut into medallions, in a sauce that had no cornflour in it at all!! Not sure what you would normally pay for an 8oz Fillet Steak but we feel the dish is fairly priced.....and no extra charge at all for a side dish of 4 different vegatables!!!

it is advisable to prebook for a meal at this establishment. You will not be disappointed.The restaurant has a lovely peaceful ambiance without "musac"blaring out. We were given a warm welcome and shown immediately to our table. There was a wide ranging lunch menu all of which were attractive. My wife and I chose the roast beef lunch, I had a starter she didn't, my starter was excellent and beautifully presented. The main course was more than adequate in portion size the beef was beautifully cooked and full of flavour accompanied by a selection of vegetables. The staff all young people were very efficient and very polite. The restaurant became quite busy and the staff dealt with the guests without fuss or frustration. There is ample parking and level access for the less able and the toilet facilities were spotlessly clean. Well done to the chefs and staff it was a pleasure to eat there.

We stayed overnight, as well as dining, at the Sandpiper Inn and found it faultless.On arrival, before opening time, we phoned and were promptly met at the front door and shown to our room. Details of our dinner booking were confirmed, as well as the time that breakfast is served, which was reassuring. The room was comfortable, decorated in keeping for a quality country inn, relatively spacious and had fine views over neighbouring properties to countryside beyond. Mandy provided a friendly greeting at the bar and, in fact, everything front of house. She also kept us informed throughout in relaxed and reassuring fashion. This reassurance extended to dealing with our inquiries about gluten-free food with all the information at her fingertips.It was a Tuesday evening and both bar and restaurant were busy without being noisy; in every respect it was a comfortable place to be. Each course at dinner was a delight and exceeded our expectations. The food was attractively presented, interesting without being too challenging and perfectly prepared. We tried a wine from Portugal that was new to the wine list and loved it; what a great recommendation and served at just the right temperature. The young waiting staff didn't put a foot wrong.Despite the room being over the bar and entrance onto the street, we were not disturbed by noise at all. The bed was a standard double; we thought perhaps a larger bed might be more comfortable but we slept well - even missed our alarm! Breakfast was just right - delicious and wholesome without being too heavy. Again, Mandy's service was spot on and she also handled check-out. In passing, she mentioned that the double beds are being replaced with king size - so our only improvement idea is already in hand. We felt that the pricing was very reasonable. It was not a 'budget' stay but taking the price and quality together, we knew we'd like to come back again, and soon.

We were staying in Stow House about 6 minutes away and the proprietor there kindly recommended and booked us a table at The Wensleydale Heifer on our first night - it did not disappoint. We were seated in the bar area, which we had to ourselves for most of the night. Dogs are welcome and there were groups of people enjoying the ambient atmosphere in adjoining rooms. There is a wonderful balance of a relaxed and welcoming vibe with Michelin star quality. The serving staff are exceptionally polite and attentive. The highlight for us was the main meal...we highly recommend the slow roast beef, which we both ordered from the daily specials menu, we cleared our plates and savored every mouthful; it went perfectly with my glass of Malbec. The menu is extensive and you will find fish, steak and lobster feature heavily. There is a car park but it is a tight squeeze down the entrance/exit (between the hotel and another building) and I fear very wide or large vehicles would struggle to manoeuvre around it. There is also parking on the road. We would certainly visit again!
