"Be sure to go far a walk around the estate - follow the path along the left side of the house. The further you go the better it gets - Quarry Gill loop at the end is easily overlooked but stunning!"

"The bar meals are delish - 3 Herby sausages with creamed mash, roasted root veg and red wine jus is my all time fave bangers and mash I've had. The cooked breakfast on a morning is first class too :-)"

"Loads to see and do nearby - check out the amazing hackfall woods, jervaulx abbey, druids temple (Stonehenge type folly in the woods near by: ask directions), and brymores ice cream parlour is a must"

"Take part in the ace nook quiz - general knowledge and music every Wednesday evening from 8.30. Free supper too!"

"Moutreys Italian restaurant does great pizzas (be sure to save room for the warm chocolate brownie desert tho). This side of the swing bridge - take the alleyway behind Greens). Busy - be sure to book"

"The hot chocolate from chocolate falls is amazingly good - perfect on cold wintery days if you're here out of season"
