Embrace the new season with Daniel Thwaites’ four-star inn, The Golden Lion in Settle. Whether it’s a spring-inspired Sunday lunch or a two-night mid-week getaway, now’s the time for longer days and (hopefully) nicer weather.

Sunday night getaways

Beat the Monday blues and escape for a Sunday night break this spring. Check-in, unwind and enjoy a glass of wine – or a pint of Thwaites ale - before heading out to explore the local area.

A must do for keen fell walkers and starting a short drive north of The Golden Lion, the Yorkshire Three Peaks is a challenging route which summits Pen-y-Ghent, Whenrisde and Ingleborough. For all avid train lovers, why not visit the Ribblehead Viaduct? It’s an impressive structure with 24 stone arches, allowing trains to cruise 104 feet above the moor.

After a busy day sightseeing, nestle down in the inn’s restaurant for a hearty, homecooked meal before slipping off for a cosy night’s sleep. Small details make a big difference, which is why Daniel Thwaites ensures every room comes with a few little extras including deliciously crumbly biscuits and fresh milk for a morning brew.

Dog-friendly rooms

As dog lovers, the teams across Daniel Thwaites’ inns take care of canine companions from the moment they check-in to the moment they ‘wag’ their tail goodbye. The inns have a dedicated number of dog-friendly rooms and beloved pets receive their very own comfy bed as well as an exciting ‘Waggy Tails’ welcome pack – complete with food bowl and dog biscuits*. 

All four-legged guests are welcome in the bar areas while also enjoying the outdoor space surrounding the property.

*£20 charge. Subject to availability and welcome packs may vary.

Taste the season

The Golden Lion has a range of menus available. Whether you want to sink your teeth into a hot roast pork sandwich, savour the famous Settle pudding or just indulge your sweet tooth with a cake and a coffee, you’ll find something that takes your fancy. For hungry little eaters with big appetites, they also have an action-packed children’s menu.

Craven Herald:

Traditionally, Sunday is a day of rest, so it makes perfect sense to let the inn’s team of chefs do all the hard work. Whether it’s a quick re-fuel or part of a longer staycation, Sunday lunch is always a good idea. Packed full of tempting flavours and locally sourced ingredients, the offering includes a choice of different cuts and of course, they have all the traditional trimmings, from homemade Yorkshire puddings to a medley of seasonal vegetables*.

*Prices and ingredients may vary.

Things to do this spring

Located a short distance from the A65, The Golden Lion gives access to the Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Bowland and even the Southern Lakes. The Ingleton Waterfall Trail is the perfect day out for all as you explore ancient oak woodland, and spectacular limestone waterfalls over 4.5 miles. Or why not visit our sister property The Lister Arms in nearby Malham?
