Terribly slow service. Cold food, huge wait times. Staff are lovely but organisation is poor and they are overwhelmed by the volume of people. Strange situation with every food order and drink order, regardless of you’re sat at a booked table or not, having to go through the bar where there is always a very long wait.

Cozy inn in a beautiful location.

This is a really interesting place to visit. It stands alone at the top of the hill surrounded by miles of raw nature. Stark and beautiful. The room was comfortable; the staff was friendly; the restaurant food was good; and the bar was cozy.

This is a great, quiet, safe location, the staff are nice enough and the accommodation/food are of an acceptable standard but painfully expensive for what you get. In particular, there is a severe lack of bathroom facilities for the non en-suite rooms to share.

Fabulous experience at the Tan Hill Pub

Staying in Tan Hill is a unique atmospheric experience. The bar is warmed by open fires and both dinner and breakfast were excellent. Staff are attentive and friendly. Outside the temperature dropped and the mist enveloped the hotel which all adds to the experience. We cannot recommend the pub and hotel more highly. We attended an excellent talk while we were there from a previous owner full of hilarious anecdotes in a purpose built events space again heated by an enormous wood burning stove.

The evening meal was absolutely gorgeous however the breakfast was a different matter the lady was rude and not very helpful everything seemed like too much trouble I think maybe she was on her own but we only asked for the basics ie: brown bread , water for the tea etc

very unique property with lots of character. the double room was miniscule however and very small indeed. despite the claims on their website of a dog friendly room where a bed, water bowl and snacks would be provided none of this was and instead i got one bag of gravy bones left outside the door for the second night which i suppose was something.

Great beer & whisky selection. Enjoyable food. Clean room, although the term "compact & bijou" was taken to its fullest extent. Bathroom was a joke! Think coffin!!! Lots of merchandise, if you want bragging rights. Everything top whack price!
