The Tennants Arms Hotel

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!

We stayed one night whilst doing the Dales Way. We had a warm welcome from a very friendly helpful member of staff. However the whole place is in need of refurbishment we had a large room but in need of redecoration. The evening meal was basic pub food with a limited choice. I had scampi which was ok my wife had the vegetarian tart again ok. Again breakfast was ok we had to make our own tea but teapots were available. The owners need to spend some money and do a full refurb. The very nice lady who booked us in also took our evening meal order and our breakfast order she works hard and is very good.

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.

Damp on window frames and bathroom ceiling. Broken sink with a hopeless attempt at a repair. TV didn’t work. Doors are paper thin. Breakfast only served 8-9am so if you’ve got an early start you’re wasting your money. Overall a terrible experience. 1 star review because I can’t give zero. Avoid!!!

Well what can say welcome was lovely member staff that worked in evening she was lovely food amazing, member of staff that worked in morning seemed rude and kept talking in own language to another member staff our bathroom had massive crack in one stinks wasn't told and one bath one taps was taped up , one shelves about stinky was bent forward so was unable to use that ,sofa was very uncomfortable , cob webs behind mirror in room
