17th-century countryside inn with award-winning dining and river-inspired rooms in Bilton-in-Ainsty
Accommodations
Each of the 5 rooms is named after a Yorkshire river, such as Swale and Ure, with decor reflecting the river's character. Rooms include a balcony or a chaise lounge, a large bathroom with a roll-top bath and a separate walk-in shower, and a decanter of port. A mini fridge with fresh milk, along with chocolate treats, adds to the stay.
Dining
The on-site restaurant offers award-winning fish and seafood, sourced locally, with a menu that changes seasonally. An on-site wood-fired pizza oven serves Neapolitan-style pizzas, and the kitchen prepares home-baked bread with homemade butter as a starter. A complimentary full Yorkshire breakfast is included, featuring local produce and generous portion sizes.
Location & Grounds
Located in a quiet village 15 km from York city center, the inn is 20 minutes from Wetherby Racecourse and close to Bramham Park. Guests can walk scenic paths through fields and the village, and the pub has a beer garden with outdoor seating. Free private on-site parking is available for all guests.
Services & Extras
The inn is pet-friendly, allowing dogs at no extra charge, and provides a warm welcome for four-legged guests. Staff organize dining events like Pizza and Prosecco nights, and the breakfast service includes a personal touch with a log fire in the morning. Home-made marmalade and black pudding are among the extras offered.
Guest Experience
The rooms feature high-quality bedding and large beds, with some offering a Prosecco balcony for outdoor relaxation. The bathrooms are spacious with both a bath and a rain shower, and the rooms are soundproofed from the quiet village setting. Breakfast includes freshly squeezed orange juice, a continental spread, and a full cooked option with local ingredients.
