After a day's walking, any pub in Grassington would have done but the faint connection to the current TV series of All Creatures Great and Small drew us in here first. Handpulls were Tetley's Original Cask and 5 from the Timothy Taylor stable, namely Landlord, Landlord Dark, Golden Best, Boltmaker and Knowle Springs - I tried the last of these which was very good. Only cider was Thatcher's unfortunately. Very busy last Saturday afternoon so we shared a table outside overlooking the street.

A timothy taylor hotel. What's not to like!
Five varieties on including the lesser spotted blonde, Ramtam and Golden Best.
Nice rooms, though pricey and top breakfast.

Still a great pub.... has various theme nights, a well attended quiz night.. sampled Moorehouse Peat Brown which was well kept... there were other local beers on offer.. it can get busy, but hey, it has an atmosphere and the landlord is a top bloke...
|
Nice enough pub, main problem is the inability to get to the bar due to the number of people sitting or standing at it who don't have any regard for other customers.
|
Beer garden at back and tables at the front on the main drag in the village. This hotel doesn't appear to employ a cleaner, so I would never consider staying, eating or sitting indoors at this place. Couldn't fault the beer though I was told the bottled pop was flat.
|
The Black Sheep we had was the best kept of the whole Yorkshire Dales walking trip and we tried the newly released Golden Sheep and sat out in the May sunshine on the High Street.

The Devonshire is a large pub/hotel right in the centre of Grassington... the landlord was a giant of a man !! so no messing with the man.... The beer was very well kept, with Black Sheep, Tetleys, Moorehouses Amber Rambler and another guest beer which was 7% proof....I avoided that one... The pub was warm and friendly with a great quiz night on the Wednesday and steak nights etc... the food looked and smelt lovely as it was taken out.
As any decent pub should be it did get busy at times in the early evening so get yourself in early to get a decent table. The landlord was a good laugh, friendly and well read about his beer... overall I would say that a visit to this pub is well worth it... in fact have a pub crawl around the town, there is plenty of decent real ale on offer !!

The Black Horse seems to be the poor relation of the 3 pubs in Grassington which is a shame as I think it has a lot to offer the town. The beer was well kept with Black Sheep, Tim Taylor and Tetley's on draft.. there was also another guest beer on at the time. It has a lovely large open fire, a dart board and also has the only fruit machine in the whole of Grassington.
It has a large beer garden which should have been busier... however, for some reason the pub seems to be under used by both the locals and the holiday makers... I can't put my finger on it, however, the bar staff did appear to be a bit young and maybe it needs a proper pub landlord... you know what I mean...
The Horse does do food but I am affraid I did not sample any during my stay..it also has pretty good deals on rooms during the off season months.

The bar at this pub is a stupid shape,making it necessary to push past people (some of whom appear unwilling to move) to get served.
Not one of our favourites.

Went in here over spring bank holiday weekend and it was a decent place inside. Busy (although that's not saying much as there aren't that many places in the village. The bar staff seemd run off their feet, which spolit our real ale - the barman pulled it at 100 miles an hour and had no intention of 'topping it up.' A good pint though (beer named after the pub and brewed by Moorhouses), but spoilt by the bar staff. We went back for a second pint, but there was a long wait at the bar so we passed. Ok if you just want to eat, but if you're into you're ale the staff don't seem to know how to poor a good pint. Sorry!

Bloody awful place to stay, rooms were horrible and outdated, mould along the bath lines, the food was overly expensive and not very good, kids running the bar didnt know how to serve a drink properly and next time we will stay elsewhere either the Forresters or The Black Horse which seem much better in our opinions.

Quite a nice pub, although I have variable experiences each time I visit. I disagree with somebody else's comments on the beer. Timothy Taylors is excellent (look at the number of awards the brewery has), and it is a local brew. The Dev does have micro-brews on too. Often the car area gets too full and getting served can be difficult
|
The four poster room is fab and looks out onto the square. Beer I've always found underwhelming (the ghastly Timothy Taylor's is an ever-present) as there's any number of microbreweries in the Dales they could use but it's a friendly place with a great snug bar and good food.
|
Having stayed at thgis pub - dissappointed with the rooms but food very good. Enjoy a Stella or cask ale. Great location for walking.
|
This pub has everything - great food, good beer and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Set in the pretty village of Grassington, it is a must for any visitor to the Yorkshire Dales. If you stay here for the Yorkshire Break you can choose anything from the Hotel's dinner menu and it's all included in the price. Additionally, you wake up to a full English breakfast which is excellent.
The food is fantastic, but make sure you don't eat too much during the day as the portion sizes are not too mini!
The rooms are a looking a little tired these days, but don't let that put you off. I have stayed here many times now and haven't been disappointed yet.
