About The World Famous Tan Hill Inn
Walkers and cyclists will find the Yorkshire Dales on their doorstep at The World Famous Tan Hill Inn, with routes leading straight out from the property into the surrounding moorland. It's a well-known stop for those exploring on foot or by bike, and free on-site parking makes it just as easy to arrive by car and use it as a base for the wider Richmond area.
Rooms are en-suite and kept simple and traditional, in keeping with the inn's character as one of the country's most remote and historic pubs. Guests get a proper bar and restaurant on site, along with a snack bar, outdoor seating, and breakfast each morning. Packed lunches and kids' meals are available for those heading out for the day, and drinks can be brought to the room.
Practical extras include free WiFi, 24-hour reception, luggage storage, laundry service, and meeting rooms for anyone combining a stay with work. Pets are welcome, making it a straightforward option for those travelling with dogs into the Dales. Given its isolated setting, it suits guests looking for a genuine escape rather than a polished, modern hotel experience.
