The Alma Inn which was a short 2 min drive away was beautiful. Food was brilliant and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely stay and the weather was brilliant.

On arrival we were greeted by the owner who showed us around and there was a welcome gift of crumpets and homemade jam which was so lovely. Nice place to stay to visit places in North Yorkshire
