Golden Lion Hotel

Established in 1988, the Golden Lion Hotel has been a cornerstone of hospitality in the Yorkshire Dales for over 26 years. Our family-run establishment combines historical charm with modern comforts, offering guests a unique experience rooted in tradition. The renovation of this 16th-century coaching inn uncovered an ancient 45ft well, now a celebrated feature of our property. Recognised for excellence in hospitality, we have received prestigious accolades including CAMRA Pub of the Season and Theakston Grand Master Trophy. Our three public bars serve traditional hand-pulled ales alongside lagers, ciders, and Guinness, catering to both local and visiting patrons. The hotel's 14 comfortable en-suite bedrooms provide stunning views of Pen-y-ghent and include full English breakfast service.

Our dining room accommodates over 80 guests and hosts seasonal carvery evenings as well as private functions throughout the year. The Tap Room and Pool Room offer welcoming spaces for outdoor enthusiasts and families, with dog-friendly policies and flag floors that accommodate muddy boots. Our cosy lounge with log burner provides a warm retreat during colder months, while weekend singing sessions add to the authentic pub atmosphere. Located at the heart of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, we serve as an ideal base for walkers and adventurers exploring the region. With extensive experience in hospitality and a commitment to preserving our historical legacy, we continue to deliver exceptional service that has delighted guests for decades.
