3-star historic inn on a Yorkshire Dales village green

Historic Building & Setting

The Fox & Hounds Inn is housed in one of the oldest buildings in West Witton, part of a secluded village overlooking a large green. The inn is set in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, providing direct access to walking routes and scenic waterfalls like Aysgarth Falls (2.6 km away). This countryside location also places guests near attractions such as Bolton Castle and Jervaulx Abbey.

Dining & Homemade Dishes

The restaurant serves homemade dishes prepared from scratch, including award-winning pies and a diverse menu with local beers and wines. Breakfast is a full English, cooked to order with high-quality bacon and sausages, though service is limited to a 9:00-9:30 window. Special diet menus and packed lunches are available on request, and kids' meals are offered for younger guests.

Rooms & Accommodations

Rooms are housed in a separate annex or courtyard and include private bathrooms, TVs, hairdryers, and tea/coffee facilities. Bed sizes vary, with double or twin room options, and some rooms include an extra single bed. Rooms are cleaned daily with fresh towels and replenished tea/coffee supplies.

Pet-Friendly & Family Amenities

The inn is pet-friendly, with a designated pet basket and dog-friendly areas in the bar, though dogs are not permitted in the restaurant. A pet fee of £20 per stay is charged, and dogs receive a sausage at breakfast. Children are welcome with a dedicated children's menu, and the property offers family-sized rooms with an extra single bed.

Parking, Safety & On-Site Services

Free private parking is listed, though guests often need to park on the village green or street due to limited spaces. The inn has CCTV in common areas, smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, and key-access locks for security. On-site services include an ATM, luggage storage, and packed lunches for early departures.

charming stay

warm welcome comfortable room lovely packed lunch
I received a warm welcome to a comfortable room. The room included an ensuite bathroom, one of two available with dogs. I needed an early departure, so the staff provided a lovely packed lunch in place of breakfast. It was a thoughtful gesture and i did appreciate it.
The evening meal was slightly disappointing.
