“The Fox and Hounds in Starbotton feels like a genuine discovery; its setting in the Yorkshire Dales is truly something to behold, offering direct access to beautiful walks. The recent refurbishment of the rooms is evident, resulting in comfortable and tastefully decorated spaces. What truly elevates it, however, is the warmth of the staff and the quality of the food, making it a place one genuinely wants to return to.”
