Lovely hotel with great rooms, good selection of coffees teas and local fudge. Fresh milk provided to take to your room. Great range of beds, bowls and treats for dogs too. Meals were excellent and the staff, Sarah and Rob (and the others too) went above and beyond to make us all feel welcome and sort gluten free information for one of our party. Will definitely go back.

We stayed at the Golden Lion with friends as we were walking the 3 peaks on the Friday, we both stayed in a classic room, the rooms were lovely, comfy bed, hair dryer, shampoo and conditioner, tea and coffee and bottled water, don't forget to ask for milk before bed. We ate in the restaurant both nights, the food was lovely and we had great service. We had asked for breakfast the morning of our walk as we had to leave at half 6, unfortunately they forgot to leave out any bread or bowls for cereal, which was a bit disappointing. We had the full breakfast on the Saturday morning which was delicious and again the service was great. Would definitely recommend

This is an excellent and very accommodating, comfortable hotel that is perfectly placed for rail travellers on the world famous Settle to Carlisle Railway. Our room was comfortable, warm and the beds were better than home. Great breakfast, reasonably priced ale, log fires topped up! No complaints.

Staff were lovely and very welcoming. Food and drink were both great and reasonably priced for the quality. The room gorgeous but I do recommend a pair of ear buds/plugs as it is on the main street and rooms to the front do have traffic going by from early in the morning.

I booked into the Golden Lion to visit family in the local area. I spent a lot of my childhood in Settle and nearby Langcliffe. The staff were very friendly and the rooms clean and tidy. We had dinner in the restaurant with some family and it was very good. Breakfast we great and the staff attentive.
