    Breakfast good but not as good as 4 years ago when we stayed seems like a supplier change of ingredients on the full English good but it was excellent on our last stay.

    The food was excellent.. My dog was well catered for. Location was perfect for us. Hotel lovely and traditional, if a little tired in places. But perfect for our walking holiday.

    Burnsall is in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, and the location of the 16th century Red Lion is arguably one of the best in Yorkshire. I have visited it many times over the years, and will continue to do so.

    We arrived at the property later than planned, dripping wet after walking the first part of the dales way during one of the worst storms this year. The staff were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The red lion is a well oiled machine...
