Historic 1840 inn on the Pennine Way in Malham
Dining & Local Ales
The Victoria serves British cuisine with full English breakfasts and home-cooked evening meals. The menu includes vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, with the chef being coeliac to guarantee gluten-free safety. The bar offers a selection of local cask ales, including the house Victoria Malaga lager, and an extensive whisky menu.
Intimate Guest Rooms
The hotel has only four en-suite bedrooms, each with a private bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and free toiletries. Rooms include tea and coffee makers, carpeted floors, and either a double or twin bed configuration. The building dates from 1840, with steep narrow staircases that staff help with luggage as needed.
Location & Walking Access
The Victoria sits directly on the Pennine Way, providing direct access to hiking trails to Malham Cove and Gordale Scar. The village of Kirkby Malham is quieter than Malham itself but is only one mile away from the main tourist attractions. Leeds Bradford International Airport is 45 km from the inn, and nearby points of interest include Skipton Castle (16 km) and Bolton Abbey Estate (26 km).
Personalised Service & Community Feel
The owners and staff offer personalised breakfast service, including packed lunches for hikers and early morning meals on request. The inn fosters a community atmosphere with a weekly quiz night on Wednesdays and a tap room where guests interact. Previous guests report that staff helped with luggage, provided local walking advice, and accommodated special dietary requirements without fuss.
