Wheldale Hotel

We used this “hotel” a few times and gave it great feedback even though everything was not perfect. We are now not allowed back because - 1 Beer spilled on the carpet. Infant it was a nose bleed and time was spent trying to clean and that is why the carpet was wet. 2 Stains on the bed sheets. Well the owners need to get a grip and obviously never had a night of fun. Bad points - Very steep metal external stairs to some rooms. Stairs have moss on them and are unsafe. One bathroom has mould due to no extraction/ventilation. Toilet roll holder hanging off the wall - No rectification in 3 visits. Bedside light fittings barely attached to the wall - 5.5mm red plugs used in plaster board, great workmanship. VERY inconsiderate house keeping. Singing at the top of their voices and swearing. We booked an additional day/night and this was not relayed to the house keeping. House keeping rudely banging on the door shouting - you’re not supposed to be in here. Floors are un level and you need one leg longer than the other to feel level. Bogey found on the bed sheet - hypocritical. Food advertised on the website. Arrived and no food due the chef being poorly. - Not the first time judging by other reviews. I genuinely did not want to write this review. Disappointed as was trying to support a local business.

I cannot rate the Wheldale too highly, extreme value single room clean,comfortable, with a lovely welcome. Good food and an inclusive breakfast. Brilliant cooked breakfast at fantastic price. One of the best places I have visited this year.

Great little hotel, parking on site, nice cosy bar with plenty to choose from regarding drinks, sky sports for sports fans, 10 minute walk into town centre. Great breakfast in the morning at small extra cost, all in all great little find, we would definitely use again.

This is a little hidden gem, we booked as was dropping a family member to Ferrybridge. We arrived to a lovely welcome and shown to our room. ( clean tidy and comfy) we decided to eat in the hotel. Food was very nice,cooked to perfection and portions were really good. Would recommend the peppercorn sauce with your steak. There is a continental breakfast included but we opted for the full English. The staff members were so friendly and next time we are up in the area, we will return

I arrived at The Wheldale thinking ‘oh no. It’s a pub’. How wrong I was. Yes. It is a pub but from the moment I arrived and parked the car in the ample car park until checking out, Donna and Paul made me feel so welcome. Paul read the rules and regs out - usual stuff - and made sure fire regs were adhered to before escorting me to my room for the night. Upon entering, I was amazed. So large and immaculately kept. Spotless. Tea and coffee making facilities, TV and WiFi all up to spec with a small yet perfectly arranged bathroom with gleaming fixtures and fittings. Triple glazed windows keep out any hint of the road outside while keeping the room nice and cozy. For a budget hotel I was so pleased. Paul ran through everything from the TV instructions and the different light settings to times and location for breakfast and meals. I had a drink in the bar after showering and changing and decided to take them up on the full English the following morning. For £6.95, I couldn’t go far wrong. Off out and back late. The outside rooms held no fear for late revellers. Easy access with automatic lights lighting the way home. A nice, big comfy bed ensured a good nights rest as I woke late the following day - 8.45am is late for me! And so to breakfast. Paul had asked previously roughly what time I wanted it as he could prepare it ready or would I like to wait for 15 mins while it was made from scratch. I opted for the latter. I’m glad I did. The free, light breakfast consisted of cereal, toast, fruit, juices and more to accommodate the majority of people. I had a full day ahead and glad that I added on the option of the full English. It arrived on a large plate packed with everything to satisfy the hardiest of traveller - see my photo. Superb! Really fresh and filling. And plenty of it. For under £7, it’s a must have. Up, showered, packed and down to quickly check out, I thanked Donna for their hospitality and handed the key back with the assurance that should I ever be up that way again, I will definitely book The Wheldale Hotel. Thank you both so much.

Definitely not a hotel at best a pub with rooms. Metal stairs to room unsafe. Room basic. Complimentary breakfast sparse, and only available 730-830am chef not cooking breakfasts as he has a bad back. Arrived after a long journey to be told no evening meals as they were out at a party. We also have Sunday night booked for our return journey, no meals then we are told because of football, not even early evening. Pictures on website look good but not true to reality, garden overgrown and uncared for, hotel sign on floor by door, AA rating has gone. Parking lot scattered with rotting SAAB carcuses. A real disappointment
