17th-century coaching inn in the heart of Settle - dog-friendly, with locally sourced dining and direct access to Yorkshire Dales walks
History & Setting
The Golden Lion at Settle has welcomed travelers since 1640, making it one of the oldest continuously operating hotels in the Yorkshire Dales. The building retains original features such as an Inglenook fireplace in the bar and narrow corridors with traditional decor. Guests can walk to Settle Rail Station in 3 minutes, providing easy access to the scenic Settle-Carlisle railway line.
Dining & Bar
The hotel's restaurant serves a seasonally changing menu based on locally sourced ingredients, including a Settle pudding and haggis bon bons. The bar offers a rotating selection of local cask ales and hosts live music events throughout the year. Outdoor seating in the courtyard allows al fresco dining, and the Sunday roast is a regular favorite among guests.
Rooms & Accommodation
The Golden Lion provides 16 bedrooms, including Classic Double, Character Double, Four Poster Feature, and Small Double rooms, all with en suite bathrooms and White Company toiletries. Some rooms have been recently refurbished and feature walk-in showers and handmade fudge as a welcome treat. A sleep kit with eye masks and earplugs is provided in each room, and fresh milk is available on request.
Outdoor & Dog-Friendly Amenities
The hotel is dog-friendly and supplies pet baskets, bowls, and treats for canine guests. Board games and a residents' lounge with a log fire offer relaxation after walking in the nearby Yorkshire Dales National Park. The Ingleton Waterfalls Trail and Ribblehead Viaduct are both within a short driving distance, providing scenic hiking routes.
Parking & Local Access
The hotel does not have on-site parking but provides a time disc for free parking on the town square, located 2 minutes away. A public car park (Ashfield) is a short walk and costs £5 for 24 hours. Settle's independent shops and cafes are within a 1-minute walk, and the Yorkshire Three Peaks walking routes start just outside the town.
