The Tennants Arms Hotel

After a long day travelling, followed by work, was looking forward to some food and a good pint, of which I had neither. Checked in at 8:07pm, the welcome was unfriendly at best. Asked if I could order food, bluntly told kitchen closed at 8...... nearest alternative open place to eat was 12 miles away according to Google maps, so settled for a sandwich and crisps from nearby garage. Returned to room, met by door wedged open by over turned stool?? Duvet very lumpy and too small for bed, and damp smell throughout. Most annoying thing was restaurant serving time posted in room says food served until 8:30pm, so kitchen should have been open.....

Location was beautiful and quiet. Warm welcome and looked after by Jay & Susie. Meals were wholesome and delicious - recommend the Sunday Roast. Previous reviews were mixed, yes it is a bit tired and shower didn't work properly but things are trying to be redressed. Room was clean and good value for money - breakfast maybe more cereals/fruit or yoghurt however full cooked breakfast.

My friend and I stayed one night in Nidderdale, in a twin bedded room. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, especially the gentleman who served us at Breakfast. The location and views are really good and there is adequate parking. However, we had a broken window pane in our room with a fist sized hole, that we reported on arrival. The bed my friend slept in had old stains on the divan base bottom sheet and both mattresses were lumpy, with mine sinking in the middle. In the bathroom we had a cracked sink that had been repaired but you could still see the crack. The shower attachment to the wall was coming away and the tap in the sink was loose. The bathroom itself smelt of urine but did look clean, other than for some mould at the bottom of the shower cubicle. All the furniture was stained but functional. Breakfast itself was very basic indeed with a kettle to boil for tea etc. The window ledge behind the breakfast area was dirty and unkept. This pub used to be such a beautiful place, it is really sad to see basic hygenie and upkeep amiss, as the staff who work there deserve it. I dont like giving negative reviews but I feel from a Health and Safety perspective it is important it is mentioned. We would not stay again.

We stayed here for 2 nights 1st & 2nd May 2025. On arrival Suzanne was quite pleasant gave us our key and directed us to the room also informed us of the code for the front door. Initially the room looked nice it was the Silverdale Room. However my wife did mention the fact of the lighting over the bathroom mirror was really dull it seemed much brighter over the loo, also the shelf was missing over the sink. We are both in our late 60s and when having a shower it was hard enough getting in the bath which had mould around the sealant let alone turning the knob for the shower.( It looked nice but not very practical). Bed seemed comfortable, but cobwebs every where around bed and wardrobe. There was a glass water bottle by the coffee machine but it was empty. Tv was a nightmare to get channels on.The hairdryer was in the drawer but could only use it without a mirror! We put the sign on the door for no cleaning but no bag was left for top up toilet rolls etc. We were room only but there was no mention of being able to book breakfast or where you are supposed to go for it. We only heard from Suzanne telling someone in the bar! The meals we had in the restaurant were very good but there was just no atmosphere in the room, very echoing! The bar closed at 9pm on Thurs night and 10pm on Fri night. This night was really busy due to the hotel being full. Although Suzanne was pleasant to start with and she seemed to be doing everything on her own we did not feel welcome anymore . We were basically told we can finish our drinks in our room, as she was mopping floors and wanting us out of the bar! She needs to ask her boss for help! The location had lovely views. I would rate it as a 2 * and will not book this hotel again!

Where do we start. My wife had to sleep on the floor, as the Mattress was thin cheap and nasty and you could feel the springs. You can't watch the TV unless you have an amazon account. There is mold in the bathroom you can't even open the bathroom window. There is also mold on the windows in the bedroom.The cold tap in the bath is ducktaped. The shelf over one of the sinks is loose the same sink is cracked, there are a lot of stains on the carpet. On a positive note Suzanne was very friendly and welcoming

Very disappointed to arrive at the Tennant Arms today, only to find Mark & Kay had left (not their choice we believe) as a new manager had been installed. We have been visiting regularly for the excellent food, especially the Sunday carvery, to be told in a rather officious manner by a man -who turned out to be the new manager- that they didn't do it any more & wouldn't be in the future. We liked the Tennant Arms as it offered good, locally sourced food at a reasonable price served by friendly staff but after today's reception we won't be going back. 3 other parties came in whilst we were finishing our drinks, all for the carvery,all of whom were dealt with by the manager in the same way. We understand that after a holiday Mark is looking to open up somewhere locally so we look forward to hearing where so we can give him our custom again.
