“Duke of Wellington Inn presents a genuine countryside pub experience, where the kitchen consistently turns out excellent meals from local ingredients, complemented by a superb breakfast selection. Staff make you feel truly looked after, and the rooms, while perhaps traditional in their bathrooms, are clean, comfortable, and often come with stunning views of the Yorkshire landscape. It's a welcoming base for exploring the moors, offering great value.”
