'Loved the environment and surroundings. Food was excellent. Loved having the locals around. Friendly staff especially for walking routes. The room ? No.1 was too big and a bit over the top. Would have preferred a smaller and cheaper romm we were walkers!!'

Yorkshire hospitality
5 stars 5

'We have visited the CB Inn at various times over the last ten years or so as diners, but this was our first stay there. Food has always been excellent and comes in generous portions, and as it turns out that goes for breakfast too. The room was nicely appointed, very comfortable and warm, which was a worthy consideration given the weather. The Arkengarthdale setting is wonderful with long views to the South, and there are plenty of opportunities for strenuous activity of the outdoor variety if such things appeal. We shall most certainly be paying another visit - a longer one. Very highly recommended.'

Paradise in Arkengarthdale
5 stars 5

'The CB has everything you want in a country hotel, super bedrooms and great food while managing to be a local pub as well. We've been coming at least once a year, sometimes more since they opened, and feared that it might get less friendly and warm as it was enlarged, but this has definitely not happened. Just come back from a wonderful break, with oyster catchers, new born lambs, primroses and wild garlic... thanks to all the staff'

Fabulous weekend
5 stars 5

'I chose the CB Inn as a venue for a suprise birthday weekend gathering based purely on the positive reviews seen on the internet and wasn't disappointed. The whole party of 16 adults had a fabulous weekend. The location is beautiful, rooms nicely decorated, very clean, comfortable beds and many with great views. The food was excellent and a nice varied menu (particular mention to the lack of plastic containers - how refreshing to have milk in jugs, butter in dishes and marmalade in pots - not a foil wrap in sight!). The staff throughout our stay were helpful and accommodating - very professional and friendly. Many thanks for a lovely setting for a great weekend. We hope to return'

Judging by fellow guests, there is a lot of repeat business which is a good sign. The staff are incredibly helpful, the food excellent (and plentiful) and the special offers/deals are often excellent value. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.'

'This was our 4th visit and as usual, the atmosphere was very warm and inviting, excellent food and when you have eaten a three course dinner washed down with a good drink or two, you can relax either by the open log fire, or snuggle in the very cosy bedroom and watch t.v. To burn off those extra calories from the night before, the stunning scenery offers plenty of long or short walks, with local towns and villages to visit also. We will be stopping again soon. Thanks for a great stay.'

'Another superb couple of nights at the CB. Yet again we loved the peace and quiet of the location in the heart of Arkengathdale, coupled with a very tasteful and modern room, excellent food and lovely friendly staff. We prefer to have dinner in the cosy bar, next to the log fire, and the local regulars who provide a real buzz. If you want to stay in a hotel which is part of a chain and has no character at all, don't go to the CB! But, of you enjoy staying somewhere which has its own individual character coupled with food to die for and tasteful individual rooms.........and terrific walks on the doorstep, then this is the place for you!'

Footsteps from the room above were rather noisy but to be fair we had been told this could be so but it was only a problem on our first night.The food was of a high standard and we would not have considered eating elsewhere.What made it for us was the hospitality of all the staff we encountered, nothing was a trouble, everyone chatty and pleasant which made for a feeling of relaxed comfort in a lovely environment which we would certainly visit again.
