Black Horse Hotel

Black Horse Hotel is a 17th-century former coaching inn on Garrs Lane in Grassington, a Yorkshire Dales village of cobbled lanes and cafés. Skipton Castle is about 20 minutes’ drive.

Each room is decorated differently and has a flat-screen TV with DVD player, a hairdryer and a tea and coffee tray, plus free toiletries. The inn’s real ale bar has a log fire and a good choice of wines.

The à la carte restaurant cooks traditional English food from local produce, with fish and vegetarian dishes on the menu. WiFi is free throughout. Being on an e-bike network, it suits cyclists and walkers.
