We stayed this weekend in the Shepherd huts at the back of the pub. It was the annual beer festival. We have had such a good time! The huts are delightful with all the creature comforts of home:- comfy double bed, underfloor heating, toilet and heavenly hot showers! Just what was needed on rainy, windy weekend. The pub itself is a little gem with it's open fires, gas lights and warm, welcoming atmosphere. Great food, great staff, this place really does have it all and I can't wait to come back!
Came here for lunch today after a visit to Bolton Abbey for my birthday. Food was fabulous! I had the fish finger sandwich, and the other half had the steak and ale pie, which was to die for! And to top it all off the sticky toffee pud is a sinful delight! Will definitely be visiting this little slice of Yorkshire again!
Richard, Tilly and the whole team at the Craven arms went above and beyond to look after me and my husband on our wedding day. They decorated the barn perfectly, the food was exceptional they even cleaned my wedding dress for me when a guest spilt red wine right down the front of me!!.
We have been regular visitors of the craven since booking our wedding jan 2016. And intend to be for the rest of our lives. The team never fail to give a warm welcome and consinstantly top notch friendly service leaving you with a smile on your face planning your return.
I really cant recommend this place enough with its qurky enviroment and friendly staff its stolen a peice of my heart.
Thank you everyone.

An amazing pub, the menu was to die for, difficult to make a final decision .... so we need to go back and plough through the menu. My choice was better than my expectations, I chose the lamb chops, cooked to perfection and the red carrot jus was amazing, My hubby had posh fish and chips and that they were ... the pub itself is oldeworlde and quirky, great customer service even at busy times .... loved it thank you
The best pub in Yorkshire and I've sampled many. Great beer, especially the Old Peculiar, great food, great atmosphere and outstanding location.
The Shepherd Huts are cool too.
Fabulous setting for a really traditional country inn with loads of charm and a great atmosphere. Very friendly staff good service and amaizing food. Stayed 2 nights in the Shepherd Hut glamping. Definately would recommend!! Dog friendly too. 🐾🐾 Thabk you.

As the celebrant from Starr Gazing Ceremonies, I had the honour of performing a wedding ceremony at Cruck Barn at The Craven Arms which is indeed a very special wedding venue. It has a wonderful blend of historical architecture and countryside elegance that is enhanced fully by the extremely helpful and enthusiastic staff that are always keen to ensure everything goes perfectly. I received a wonderful welcome from the staff and thoroughly enjoyed performing a wedding ceremony in the cosy and beautiful barn that has a truly unique ambience for your special day!
Joined some very good friends for their wedding celebration. The staff couldn't do enough to make sure everyone was looked after. Food was amazing, beer was great and while pub had a great atmosphere.
We stopped for a pint after a walk with our dog and I had Appletreewick dry cider and my husband had wharfedale blonde very nice staff were very friendly and efficient 2 lovely log fires inside and we had battered fish sandwiches with mushy peas and chips delicious.
We stayed here last night, something different to celebrate my husbands Birthday. The Shepherds hut was fantastic, everything you could need. Something different than a b&b. We had tea in the Craven Arms. Fantastic service from the staff. Food was excellent. We both had the fish and chips and it was the best we’ve had in along time. We really enjoyed just being able to sit and chill with a drink in a real pub with a fire.Was nice to see people fetching their dogs in too and that they were welcomed. Thank you for a lovely stay. We will be back.

We had a wonderful walk around Bolton Abbey yesterday, came to the Craven Arms for a late lunch, early tea. Fabulous quirky pub, outstanding views from the beer garden, lovely staff and food was fantastic too.
We came for the beer festival on Saturday 22nd with friends. Absolutely loved our afternoon here. Friendly staff and locals. Food was amazing along with the great selection of beers. We will be back to stay over in one of the huts in the very near future. This quaint pub is seeped in tradition and oozes character. Thank you for a great and memorable afternoon
Great pub selling good beer - and the food looked good although we did not have time to sample it
Lovely traditional pub ,great beers and food friendly staff. Perfect location stayed in the huts very cosy 👍
Absolutely loved visiting this place! It felt like home and everything was perfect. Having Ukrainian flag outside it literally made my cry especially it was nice to meet all the amazing people inside. We had a such a lovely dinner and it was delicious. Thank you so much for all the support and love your shared with me! I will definitely come back again.
The best pub in England. I love everything about this place. The pie is the best pie I've ever had. I love the decoration, the fire, the beers, the staff. I'd go every day if I could.
Amazing English pub lunch in the Yorkshire Dales countryside. Accommodated a large group but we called ahead so that is encouraged. I had the steak and ale pie which was the best pie I experienced on this trip. My son had the wild game casserole which was top notch. For beers there were traditional York ales in casks and wide selection on tap.
Stunning pub with an amazing atmosphere and delicious food! Beautiful views all around. Very friendly and welcoming staff.
Really quick and friendly service. Food is delicious. I especially liked the prawn katsu which kind of like a prawn croquette. The Sunday roast beef is one of best I had at a pub, wish theres more on the plate which was filled up with a huge Yorkshire pudding and veg. Chocolate brownie is warm n rich, served with roasted marshmallows and ice cream. Best was the view while enjoying our meal outdoors. Place got packed within 30minutes of opening.
We arrived for a couple of pints as part of our planned circular walk. Having know the reviews of this place previously we were not disappointed. It was a glorious Friday afternoon, not too busy, but it does get extremely busy on a weekend, so it is best to book a table.
We were not there for the food this day, so we can not review that, but feom what we saw being served ot looked and smelt amazing.
What I can say though is that the beer is perfectly kept and a wide selection of real ales on hand pull are available, all next to the amazing fireplace, such a cosy atmosphere.
Thanks for the hospitality we received on arrival. We were really made to feel welcome.
Absolutely perfect pub; cosy, convivial, popular with locals and walkers, great range and warm fire, fantastic selection of beers, some only available in the vicinity. Could have stayed all day.
An amazing pub! Full of character , super cosy and the food is fantastic. The staff were so welcoming and very friendly 😁 It's a real gem 💎
Always a great place to stop off for a pint or a bite to eat. Cosy pub with fantastic staff. Always try to end a walk or trip near here so I can pop in
