constant noise emergency light
The staff were friendly and efficient, and the cooked breakfast was great (especially the sausages!).
The room was noisy. I heard every word spoken in the bar below, annoying. An emergency light lit the room all night. It made it difficult to sleep. I really think they should address these issues.

a snug haven in the dales

amazing staff open arms huge suite hearty food
the staff, it was like visiting old friends. i was a wet, muddy walker and they welcomed me with open arms to my room. the suite was huge, and the food from the bar was so hearty after a long day.
the emergency light in my room shined a bit too bright through the night, it was a minor distraction.
