Owner's description

The Dalesman Country Inn is a privately owned, family-run country inn located in the Western Dales of Cumbria, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Established in 1987, the business has been built on a long-standing commitment to quality, consistency, and genuine hospitality.

The inn combines the character and warmth of a traditional country property with modern comfort and high standards of service. We are proud to hold a 5-star rating for accommodation and 2 AA Rosettes for culinary excellence, reflecting the importance we place on both guest comfort and dining.

Food is central to The Dalesman’s identity. Our restaurant offers seasonal British menus with a modern approach, using carefully sourced ingredients from local and regional producers wherever possible. The kitchen focuses on strong provenance, technical consistency, and dishes that respect the quality of the ingredients while offering refinement and flavour.

Hospitality remains at the heart of everything we do. As an independent family business, we place great emphasis on creating a welcoming yet professional environment where guests feel relaxed, valued, and well cared for. Many of our guests return regularly, drawn by the combination of personal service, high standards, and the unique setting of the Western Dales.

After nearly four decades, The Dalesman continues to evolve while remaining true to the values on which it was founded: warm hospitality, excellent food, and attention to detail.

Our reviews are based on an annual survey of ordinary diners which runs in Spring each year. But this establishment has not yet gathered enough feedback for our editors to write it up.

Do you think it deserves to be better known?

Write a quick review now using our restaurant diary service. That way it might catch our attention. Next survey, you can transfer your diary entry into our survey system. Everyone who contributes 5 or more reviews in our survey will qualify for a free guide.

For 35 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
