The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Andrew Pernās 14C thatched inn oozes charm and character, with its low ceilings, Robert āMousemanā features and some charred beams left in situ in a nod to its life story. Head Chef Steve Smithās cooking has a classical base with modern overtones, and Yorkshire leads the way in rich, gutsy, flavour-driven dishes, with fish coming from Whitby, game from the Moors and vegetables plucked from the kitchen garden. Relax on the terrace, then stay over in one of the individually styled bedrooms; one boasts a snooker table, another, a piano.
