About Shoulder of Mutton

A bridal suite tucked inside a village inn is not something you find everywhere, and it is the detail that sets the Shoulder of Mutton apart from the usual Richmond stopover. This is a traditional pub-hotel in Kirby Hill, North Yorkshire, built around the sort of bar and restaurant setup that has served the local area for years, with the option to host weddings and meetings as well as simple overnight stays.

Rooms are en-suite and include family options, with drinks available in-room and packed lunches or kids' meals on request for those heading out for the day. Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar for breakfast and evening meals, plus a garden and picnic area with outdoor seating for warmer days. Free WiFi and 24-hour reception cover the practical side, and free on-site parking makes arriving by car straightforward. Pets are welcome, so the four-legged members of the party aren't left behind.

The surrounding area suits an active stay, with walking and cycling routes nearby, golf and fishing within reach, and horse riding on offer for those who want to explore further afield. Richmond Castle and the Yorkshire Dales are both close by, and the village itself has its own pubs and restaurants for evenings when guests fancy a change of scene.
