"2nd visit, 1st time staying over..suite was lovely, standalone bath a massive luxury. If it were my place, I 'd possibly dispense with the robot style toilet as its a bit erratic and noisy if you need to go in the middle of the night! Food is incredible, service is incredible. It oozes cool understated luxury. We will definately be back Rooms: We stayed in the 'Burdoch ' room. It 's the one with the copper style bath in the website photos. Very luxurious Food drinks: Al a carte menu was included in our package, we added the extra cheese course which was brilliant (you only need one between two people) you can upgrade to tasting menu and wine flight too."

"Having spent the day in Gargrave (a childhood holiday haunt , decided to get something to eat al fresco at The Masons Arms. Ordered a fish pie and a lasagna, both arrived roasting hot after being freshly cooked, and both went down a treat! The pub has a good range of beers, lagers and ciders (nice to have a choice and not be fobbed off with the usual draught Strongbow . Location scored 4/5 due to having a fair few flies buzzing around (only to be expected, but perhaps a citronella candle/lantern could be delivered to outside diners to alleviate this small issue . Recommended both meals were delicious and stayed hot until the last mouthful! (No photo of the fish pie it was dived into too quickly!"

"Just outside of overcrowded Malham is this lovely little village with this great pub. There's several rooms but the main room had a nice fire on in the harth and was lovely and warm. The staff were super kind and the food and drinks were great. There's parking on the side of the road as well. For me after a good hike and dip, Malham itself is far too hectic and this place offered the perfect peaceful ambience and a nice town village rather than a tourist spot. Nearby activities: Hiking Food drinks: The food is excellent Noteworthy details: The atmosphere is amazing, that proper old timey feel"

"I had heard much about this place, so I was rather excited to try. Nice village. Nice building. Nice decor. That is where it ends. 13 of us diners club) arrived on time with pre-orders. So, they should have got it right. Food was staggered and slow. My king prawn starter was, I have to say, delicious, but tiny, for £11:00 I expected more. My friend who writes cook books btw) said it was the first time she had ever had to put salt on an Onion Bhaji. Bland, tasteless, burnt. Ripples of similar disappointment across the table. My main was simply average. Again, small portions. No knives and forks to eat with. We had to ask. As we did for drinks. And napkins. And sauces. Staff had to be asked to take away empty glasses and bowls that were filling the table. Again, food was staggered, with a couple waiting almost 15 mins longer for food, despite pre-orders. My chicken was tough and tasteless. Another friend had lamb, which he said “took some chewing”. Now the disappointment. Despite my main being over £20.00, I was charged £3.50 for a tiny dry chapati to accompany. To add insult to injury, I had a pint of soda water , from the pump not bottled), in fact I had 2. For which I was charged £8:00. For 2 glasses of water!!! I queried this. The response I got was to simply have the card machine pushed in my face with “ Please pay now”. I say that it was 2 glasses of water, basically. To which I got “ please pay now” with the card machine almost touching my nose. My fellow guests queried this. To which the response was …. Nothing. So, a small starter, a small and rather bland, luke warm, basic curry with a dry chapati and 2 glasses of water cost me £43.00. Be prepared for average food. Rude staff and being fleeced. I eat out 2-3 times per week. I am always happy to buy and enjoy whatever I fancy. I always tip. But not this time. Disappointed to say the least. I won’t be returning, as will a few of my friends who were equally as disappointed. I would avoid this place. There are many beautiful eating places all around this area. This is not one of them."

"I recently spent the weekend in Gargrave and booked a table at the Old Swan in advance. I am so glad that I did because Julie and her team run a fantastic pub. The Sunday lunch was delicious, with a great selection of beers to choose from. We even had to stop by a few times to try more! Julie also gave us some excellent recommendations for other restaurants in the village. The Old Swan is a must-visit when in Gargrave. I will definitely be back. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"
