A really awful hotelRoom Lobby - Dusty, dirty & smelly.Room - Tatty wallpaper, lots of dust balls, filthy headboard, light fitting falling off wall - but the sheets were clean.Bathroom - Dusty, dirty, lots of mildew, forever filling toilet - but the water was clean.Breakfast - Uncooked (not undercooked), cold from the fridge kippers. Delicious!Lots of other negative aspects, however, in summary, one of the most unpleasant and uncomfortable hotels I've ever encountered.

Date of Stay: June, 2008

Very friendly,helpful staff. We stayed in a "superior" room and it was difficult to understand what was superior about it. While perfectly comfortable and equipped with the usual toiletries, and excellent bath sheets, it lacked a shelf in the bathroom and there were no tooth mugs. We were disappointed to find that the restaurant offered a set three course dinner. We chose to eat in the bistro and found the food very good.

Spring break in the DalesMy husband and I spent a very enjoyable break at the Worsley Arms Hotel. The hotel is small but very comfortable. The location is perfect and most attractive. We enjoyed an excellent dinner there and would recommend it to anyone visiting the Yorkshire Dales.

Beautiful placeWe had just one night at Worsley Arms and didn't arrive till 10.30 - but they made us feel very much at home. Its a beautiful location and premises and service was very friendly. Cooked breakfast was good, though the portions were not as large as we are used to in hotels. Rooms (superior doubles) were each unique and full of character. Small independent hotels like this make business travel a pleasure.

bedding not particularly clean and room cold with no way of turning heating on.

In need of updatingOld-fashioned TV, glass door to room, old carpet - definitely in need of updating. However, there was a warm welcome and the food was good.

	Date of Stay: May, 2009
Outstanding!Absolutely loved it, my fiancee and I wanted a weekend away somewhere peaceful and the hotel offered that and more! The room was very comfortable, the food outstanding and the owners very easy to talk to. We'd definitely stay there again!

	Date of Stay: April, 2009
Good service but appalling roomThe service (esp during dinner) was really nice. The food was great. BUT the room was awful. It was not decorated well, it was not especially clean and was tired/old looking. The Bed was really uncomfortable (was obviously very old) and the bathroom shower did not work. We paid £90 for the night and the quality of the room was worth more like £40-£50.

	Date of Stay: March, 2009
short stayStaff were all very friendly and could not have been more helpful.Lovely, cosy, welcoming ambience giving a relaxed atmosphere. Good food.

	Date of Stay: March, 2009
No thankyou!We were given a room across the green from the hotel We arrived for breakfast wet as it rained! On entering the cottage we were greeted with a strong smell of oil which we reported to the hotel the following morning but no reduction in the price!

	Date of Stay: March, 2009
Excellent all roundRoom was clean, nicely decorated and very comfortable. Television had no remote control and I struggled to get a fully hot bath in the morning despite running only the hot tap. Food outstanding and great value and the bar area very welcoming.

Date of Stay: October, 2008

We stayed 1 Friday night in October. We found the staff to be very friendly, polite and efficient. The evening meal was nice, and plentiful, but a bit pricey and nothing special (as vegetarians we can't speak for the quality of meat dishes etc), though the chef was very accommodating and offered a choice of dishes not on the menu. Service was excellent. The breakfast was again nothing special but good enough. We stayed in a cottage room which was a reasonable size with a large bathroom, but was in desperate need of a makeover. It was probably last decorated 20 years ago! The hotel itself is beautiful, with cosy snugs and the bar area had a roaring log fire which created a nice ambience. The Cricketers bistro, where we ate has a nice ambience too. A nice place to stay for a short break.

The Hotel staff were unanimously friendly and helpful. The food was good and well-cooked. However, the two rooms used by my group were tired in terms of decor and are in need of modernisation. We paid a reduced rate via Laterooms which was good value - the full rate would have been far too expensive for the quality of the rooms.

Date of Stay: September, 2008

Maybe we chose the wrong time. The cleanliness of the room was suspect - the bin in the bathroom was full of someone else's (not very pleasant) rubbish. There was a pair of dirty underwear stuffed at the back of the wardrobe and the curtains - those heavy velvet types - were covered high up in a thick layer of accumulated dust. The food was OK, not stunning, the bar service was poor. The real ale pump needed repair, and there was too little room.The second night we couldn't get to sleep until after 2 pm. as there was a wedding do in the marquee about 20 yards from our room. We were not informed of this at the time of our booking nor given the option to relocate rooms.when we got there. The room itself was average. We were told we had been put in this room because the agricultural vehicles in the main street were loud at this time of year, so we were at the back with \"a wonderful view of the Yorkshire countryside\". This wasn't true. Our room looked out onto the hotel car park and a shippon.All in all disappointing considering the cost. They need to up their game considerably otherwise they will lose out to nearby better and more competitive hotels

Room 21 was in a series of cottages opposite the hotel. It had the lergest king size bed I have seen (at least 6 foot wide) It was comfortable and the staff were polite and helpful. I Ieft a coat behind by accident and they sent it on to me with a request to send a cheque for the postage. I would reccomend this hotel to anyone

	Date of Stay: September, 2008
This hotel is in a lovely village,staff welcoming and friendly,rooms clean,bar cosy,lovely food, sticky toffee pudding to die for would reccomend.

Date of Stay: July, 2008

Lovely friendly welcome & all staff we delt with were really nice & friendly. I thought the room was a little over priced as as many others have said before, decor a little dated & you felt like a really good clean wouldn't go a miss! Was also quite small for the price too. We paid £90 (£5 extra fee for a little patterdale terrier that slept in her cage in the room) & I expected a least a little wow factor for this! Food in bar was delicious, would definately eat here again & it was not over-priced, but there was several annoying flys in both the bar & the room which were obviously were as tempted to my food as I was!!!

	Date of Stay: May, 2008
The receptionist was very warm and friendly.

	Date of Stay: March, 2008
This is an independent hotel which clearly cares about standards and value. It was a real plus to find the room equipped with a DAB radio.Food really excellent and would highly recommend eating there.

	Date of Stay: January, 2008
Food and service remain the strong selling points for this hotel, along with the picture postcard location. Some traffic noise from the road to the front of the hotel is an unfortunate downside.
