cant understand a previous reveiw about surley staff. when i asked if we could stay in our motorhome while using it as a support vehicle for some people that were doing the 3 peaks, they were very accomodating . the beer which had 3 different offerings from theakstons were very good .the menu looked intresting.and the ale was a damm side cheaper than in the pubdown the road

Been here a few times recently. Beer by Theakstons and a guest - the last two times Kirkby Lonsdale Ruskin which was kept well - a good beer, but at £3.10 rather pricey. You never are greeted with a smile - more viewed with suspicion!! If you go in the lounge to the left it might have the atmosphere the previous reviewer describes. The bar on the right is very often full and interesting to listen to the events and gossip of the Dale! There always seems to be a chap though who will be keen to know who you are and what you are up to.....!!

Overpriced beer, surly service, and the atmosphere of a disused railway station. If the other pub in the village isn't a better bet, then God help it.

Visited after finishing the Three Peaks Challenge, it has two seperate rooms sharing a central bar, with a further area at the rear for food. It was a little quiet on this visit although it was still early evening. There were a few farmers stood in one side whilst the other was virtually empty. Limited number of beers but I was satisfied with the Bath Ales Gem I had which was well kept.
On the downside, it was approaching freezing outside, yet the pub had only just lit its fires so the place really was very cold.
Pub sits in an excellent setting and offers a no frills experience.

This pub is a real disappointment. In terms of layout and appearance it's probably the better of the two pubs in Horton, but it caters far more for residents than walkers or drinkers.

As a result, there is a notice stating that the fire..."is not to be used as a drying room for non-residents". There are also two notices in the gents toilets, one stating that the toilets are not to be used as a changing room and another informing you that the sink is for washing your hands only and not having a bath in!

When I was in last week I asked if it was ok for me to charge my phone, something that I have done at several pubs that I've visited whilst camping in the Dales without a problem. I was told there was a fee of £1 for me doing this. As I was already spending nearly £10 on three drinks at the time I found this very disappointing. The fact they don't do tap water and only sell it (see review below) doesn't surprise me - but is that actually legal??

When I was in on the easter weekend we were refused service at 10:45pm being given the excuse that the pub closed earlier on a bank holiday weekend - but this was on the Saturday not the Sunday night! They were however, happy to take our money if we purchased bottles and drank them off the premises.

On the plus side, they had two real ales on, Old Peculier and Golden Zest (a guest ale from Everands). Both were in good condition.
