Good Pub Guide Recommended
A new Burns Bar with a woodburning stove, exposed brickwork and large french windows that open on to a balcony area has been created in this particularly well run inn a favourite with quite a few of our readers. The old-fashioned lounge bar has an enormous inglenook fireplace, pictures and photographs on the dark red walls, interesting satirical carvings in the panelling (Victorian copies of medieval pew ends), polished copper and brass, and venerable tables, antique seats and settles on the flagstones. In the bottom bar is a framed illustrated account of the local history (some of it gruesome) dating back to the 12th c, and a large framed print of the original famous Durham Ox which weighed 171 stone. Black Sheep Best and Timothy Taylors Landlord on handpump, 15 wines by the glass and ten malt whiskies; piped music. There are seats in the courtyard garden, and fantastic views over the Vale of York on three sides; on the fourth side there's a charming view up the hill to the medieval church - the tale is that this is the hill up which the Grand Old Duke of York marched his men. The comfortable bedrooms are in converted farm buildings and the breakfasts are good.
