Stumbled across this lovely old village pub whilst visiting the local waterfalls. Friendly bar staff and great value when it came to the pints, we bought the exact same pints the day before in Aysgarth and it was nearly double! No complaints here! Didn't stay in the rooms or grab any food, so can't comment.
A fantastic traditional village pub in a stunning setting. The Fox and Hounds offers a warm welcome, great atmosphere and proper Yorkshire hospitality. The food is excellent with generous portions and plenty of choice, and the staff are friendly, attentive and clearly take pride in what they do. A lovely place to relax after exploring the Dales, with good beer and a cosy, comfortable feel. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in West Burton or passing through the area!
Lovely place to stay, very friendly and chatty staff and locals and a lovely area just outside the pub to sit and enjoy your drink outdoors. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable and toiletries and towels are included.we were actually booked in for 1 night but we liked it so much we enquired about staying another night and there was no problem. We had dinner in the pub both nights and the food was delicious. So our experience is WELL worth a visit.
Lovely pub to visit when going to the Cauldron. Friendly staff. Great for a quick bite to eat and Drink.
Went for a stroll around the village of West Burton and discovered this pub. It was a hot summers day, so we stopped for a pint and some fresh home cooked grub. Excellent quality and taste. Staff are friendly. Recommended.
Lovely local pub with great selection of beers and good hearty pub grub. Visited twice whilst staying in the village. A lovely mix of guests, visitors and locals. A real gem of a traditional village pub.
Lovely village pub, steeped in history in a wonderful location with great views and a nice village green. They serve lunch from 12-2 and evening meal 6-7. We didn’t get chance to eat this time but the menu looks good and it did smell nice.
Stayed at the pub 3 Days great food and great atmosphere friendly bar staff lovely village . Good location to explore the dales I stayed there with my Guide Dog Puppy Charli and the local people were very friendly Thank you to the staff will be back again
We went a few times over the past week as we were on holiday. The atmosphere is great, everyone is friendly. The beer is good! Takeaway food too which is great
Fantastic place to stay and eat. The room was comfortable with a lovely fresh scent. The breakfast appeared with perfect timing. The evening meal (boozy beef) was lovely. The host (Pat) brought a smile to our faces. Thank you for a memorable stay!
