What a fantastic find in the Yorkshire Dales, 5 minutes from Hawes, set in beautiful countryside, large free car park, dog friendly. Very olde worlde pub/ hotel, exposed stone throughout the pub, large real fires, 3 Christmas trees, very cosy interior. Large choice of ales, wines and spirits, candles on the tables in the evening, fantastic choice on the menus, great food large portions, the biggest Yorkshire pudding I've ever seen , homemade definitely not Aunt Bessie's. The staff are very, very friendly and welcoming. Function room at the rear of the pub, music on a Saturday evening, recommend booking because it gets really busy, very easy on line booking system, however we tried to contact them before our visit by phone but no one answered, so suggest electronic communication. Unfortunately the weather was not good but several outside tables available, pub was very cosy. Good choice of breakfast, cereals and dried fruit available, also hot selection good choice, but portions not as big as food menus, but well cooked and delicious, eggs fried, scrambled or poached, not many establishments offer this, so congratulations Green Dragon, keep up the excellent work, we plan to return in the new year
Absolutely lovely stay. The room was fantastic, the staff were great, the Inn is stunning and the food and drink exceptional plus the location is great too. We will definitely be back. The best short stay in a pub/Inn we have had in the last 10 years or so. Just great.
This is a totally fabulous place to both eat and stay. Very charming rustic experience in the pub, with several open fires, dark wooden beams and furniture, and flagstone flooring. The food was delicious and plenty of it- both for dinner and breakfast (an unexpected delight to have breakfast by a roaring fire). Our room (8) was stylish, spacious and modern, with a great view of the hill and countryside. The cafetiere was a nice touch too. I'd thoroughly recommend The Green Dragon as a perfect place to stay after a looong day walking and for visiting the local sites. (Hardraw waterfall, the Wensleydale Creamery and Hawes itself are worth taking time to visit)
The best place to stay! Had a brilliant time at the inn, we stayed for two nights. The inn is amazing, lots of rich history and detail. The food is incredible - very generous portions, great range of options and enough to fuel us for several hours of exploring! The room was also lush, clean, newly decorated and everything you need. The staff are what makes the whole place shine, super friendly and a joy to be around! Thanks so much, we look forward to returning soon!
This has quickly become my absolute favourite pub. Ever! Fabulous interior, wonderfully atmospheric with an open fire and candles on the tables. Staff were lovely, friendly and extremely welcoming. We felt very looked after during our stay - thank you, Nicky. We had dinner at night washed down with a couple of pints and a very tasty red wine. The pie and mash was delicious. Super comfy bed and nice, hot shower. Great breakfast - set us up for a busy day out and about. Thank you. See you when we return in April.
