Simonstone Hall Hotel

We had a fabulous four night break staying at Simonstone hall, one of the most friendly places we have ever stayed. The staff were more like family with everyone so approachable. We ate in the restaurant for breakfast and evening meals, all of which were absolutely excellent, with the Feather blade beef being one of the outstanding choices on the evening menu. The location is ideal for visitors wanting to explore the upper dales, and see the local wildlife, including red squirrels. The resident peacocks Do add some style to the hall and gardens. We hope we can return again possibly in summer next time. Many thanks to all of the team for making our visit so welcoming. Ian & Sue

We have had a three night stay and have enjoyed the whole experience. The food has been exceptional. Work of art on a plate and delicious. The staff were excellent, friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Beautiful old building which must take some massive upkeep. It’s been tastefully restored. Thank you.

The rooms are tired and i think this place is where the furniture goes to die!!,No one about when you need someone and the manager is soo rude he doesnt give a s**t .Had best night at george and dragon will be stopping there next time at less than half the cost and 10 times the value never again !!!!

I stayed at this hotel for one night last October and it was a lovely little get away set in the amazing Yorkshire countryside. The hotel is traditional but nicely decorated and has a very cozy feel about it, the staff were also excellent. It’s set in a beautiful location and is truly the embodiment of Englands green and pleasant land. I would highly recommend going to Hawes for a walk and sampling some of the great shops and pubs there. The restaurant serving the evening meal at Simonstone is simply fantastic and the breakfast was also really good, unfortunately it’s getting rarer and rarer to find good spots for a proper traditional full English breakfast but this place does a superb breakfast. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a night away with stunning countryside and superb food and drinks.

Ridiculously overpriced. We had the "Bar Menu" which was £29 for a miniscule Sea Bass. Hotel was deathly quiet which, in retrospect can be explained by the Michelin Star prices at a 3 Star hotel. Four of us ate and cost £250 - the night before we had a far better meal with proper sized portions in a lovely atmosphere at the Green Dragon pub a mile away for less than £100. Go figure....

The position of the hotel located deep within the Yorkshire Dales is unparalleled, the approach involves negotiating narrow country lanes which is a little intimidating if you are driving a large SUV but well worth the effort once you arrive. Inbound from the M6 we took the route through Sedbergh and on the way home we opted for the more southerly option via Hawes which we found much more relaxing. The origins of the hotel go back many centuries and on arrival you can’t help but feel the many years of history. From the mellow stone exterior to the oak panelled interior it couldn’t be anything other than an English country house. Our room ( number 7) on the first floor was very large with a stone mullioned window looking out over the hotel’s terrace to the rolling hills beyond. All the usual modcons were present,notable features being the very substantial canopied four poster and something I have never seen before a two man walk in shower with two separate shower heads! The bar lounge is comfortable and very country house with well stuffed leather chairs that definitely didn’t come from IKEA last month. The dining room looks out over the rear of the property,not as spectacular as the front but relaxing nonetheless. The a la carte menu is not extensive but quite sufficient,more importantly the quality is good and the atmosphere in the restaurant relaxed rather than formal. Breakfast was also very good with this time a surprisingly wide choice. The final element of a hotel/restaurant experience is the service and once again Simonstone Hall did not disappoint. We were warmly welcomed and checked in by the owner who carried our bags to the room and incidentally down again the following morning. Front of house manager Daniel was very hands on,very engaging and a real asset to the team,he even laughed at my jokes,top man! In case you think that the above is overly complimentary I assure you that I am the first to complain if things are not as they should be, this was not the case at Simonstone.

Had a very nice time in this quaint hotel. the view was a bit boring, what can i say, i am a sea man! otherwise my wife enjoyed her sausages. no thai food for international guests? bath was good. peacocks delightful. My wife wanted to take one home lol. nice gins. thank you very much first time in yorkshire.

Beautiful setting overlooking the dales, Room was completely set up wrong the bed should of been facing the tv where the usb charges was , free tea and coffee provided and water, bed not soft found it a little hard Room was far too hot even with the window wide open ,,, Breakfast was excellent full English provided but no beans , toast and jam plus lovely warm croissant …. Didn’t eat there in the evening as we dident think £67 pp for a 3 course meal was worth it when you could go in to the town and both eat lovely food for less then £40 and the hotel menu was not to my liking…. Drinks were also expensive compared to the local pub…. The views are stunning from the patio area on a clear day and there are beautiful walks to the waterfall and in to haws …. Not sure I would stay here again but the staff are lovely
