About The Fauconberg Arms
Anyone after a low-key stopover with a good dinner rather than a big hotel experience should look at The Fauconberg Arms. Set on Thirsk Bank in North Yorkshire, close to York, it's a traditional pub with just eight rooms, making it better suited to couples, walkers or travellers passing through than large groups or conference stays.
Rooms are comfortable rather than lavish, and the focus here is really on the pub downstairs, where the kitchen turns out hearty dishes including a well-liked steak and ale pie, along with a Sunday lunch, and the menu caters to common dietary needs. Breakfast is served on-site, there's a bar, a garden and picnic area, and a resident pub cat adds to the relaxed, welcoming feel. Prices are reasonable and the staff are consistently friendly and attentive.
Guests also have access to an indoor swimming pool, a small gym, free WiFi and free on-site parking, plus meeting rooms and business services for those combining work with a stay. Pets are welcome, and the surrounding area offers fishing, cycling and nearby restaurants, making it a practical base for exploring North Yorkshire at an easy pace.

What a gem of a place to find - really olde world. My wife and I had a Sunday lunch here and the food was fabulous and lots of it. The service was spot on, efficient and very attentive with the staff making us really welcome. We had our border collie girl with us and she was made a fuss of as well! I couldn’t finish all of my delicious dinner so the staff very kindly gave us a doggy bag to take away with us! All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our food and if we ever find ourselves in the area we would definitely eat there again.
