Amazing! Booked to go back soon! - Edit
Gutted this place is 3 hours away! Although probably best for my waist line! lol Spoilt for choice! Full breakfast and pancakes both so good! Afternoon tea, amazing and such good value! Sunday lunch, my husband’s favourite. The banana blossom ‘fish’ and chips was my favourite although the suet pudding was very good too! Cheesecake is to die for!
Read moreJust returned from our second visit and it was just as good as the first! Stayed in a superior room again which was immaculate. Lots of the same staff as last time and all very helpful and friendly. Food 10/10. Will be going again when we get the chance😄

as expected - Edit
stayed here for 3 nights to chill a bit and eat some vegan food. the place was as expected for a middle of nowhere vegan 3* hotel - old and cold😄not very maintained with ancient floors, walls, rooms etc. and not exactly up to date when it comes to mold, appliances etc. but that's typical for UK.
Read morethe food was also as expected, mostly bland with some surprises😄it is not a 5* restaurant for sure but that was also known in advance.
for breakfast you can take whatever you want from the buffet, which is mostly fine, but the problem is that it is always the same, same pastries as well, and they are usually very dry and obviously not fresh. the fruit selection is tragic, but what can you expect. yogurt is some coconut one instead of soy with protein. on top of all that you can choose something from a la carte.
i liked the pancakes for breakfast. the beck hall breakfast had the unseasoned bland tofu, as well as bland hashbrowns etc. not enough salt has always been a problem of british cuisine... banana blossom was also too bland.
we tried some indian/middle eastern meals to try to get some more seasonings involved, but that just resulted in food that was way too spicy for us (thali, kofta, tempeh boats...)
hummus was very good, soup was fantastic, dhal was good, lemon cheesecake was very good. there was a lot of vegan alcohol, but we don't drink, i don't like booja truffles either. there was some nonalcoholic stuff though which was good. tea was good. afternoon tea was also mostly good, except for the cake part, cake was inedible as it was way too sweet and really didn't taste like anything. apple crumble was too sweet.
the staff was mostly very polite. there was a lot of dogs and children. there are some walks you can do around, of course it is farmland and not such an interesting landscape outside of the malham cove. i would maybe go further out with the car and fill the car previously with some fruit as i didn't see a store there and i was really missing it. it's also super expensive.
EDIT: it was also not super obvious anywhere that the place was vegan, but whatever, as long as the site says so

What a FABULOUS hotel and restaurant! - Edit
The ULTIMATE stay
Read moreSublime food, in a relaxed and romantic, atmospheric setting. The owners have created an exceptional experience, with a generous approach everywhere, they have everything right. Wonderful staff, giving perfect service, friendly, efficient and professional. Totally sublime food, with plenty of excellent choice. The savoury suet pudding is spectacularly good and across 3 days, each dish was flawless.
Bliss. It doesn’t get much better than creamy hot chocolate next to a roaring log fire and Booja Booja truffles in our room.
This all made for a terrific stay and perfect for anyone looking for great food in a beautiful place but to have all of this 100% vegan is nothing short of fantastic. NOMO if you’re not vegan and NOMO for those of us who are.
Many guests had their dogs with them, huge floor cushions, treats and water bowls provided. No problems at all, gorgeous dogs on leads and of every size, from Huskies to Dachshunds and they all behaved beautifully. We met and chatted to lovely guests too, all of us appreciating being so well looked after.
This is the first time I’ve ever booked ahead for next year, for any hotel but I unhesitatingly did.
My only suggestion is.. please open a sister hotel and restaurant on the same principles, near the Brecon Beacons, so we can eat there every week in between coming back to Malham!
Thank you for all of this and a special shout out to the brilliant Mabel!
Pros: Exceptional home cooked food, plenty of choice, Relaxed, comfortable, romantic atmosphere , Brilliant staff, outstanding service
Cons: Nothing to complain about, loved it all.

Comfortable hotel with delicious food. - Edit
Sadly we only stayed for one night as the hotel and food deserved longer. While waiting to check in I heard a lady who wasn't vegan telling her vegan friend how good the food was as we discovered later that evening. Every mouthful was delicious and its not often we have a dessert each but having tasted the chocolate pot previously we decided it was too good to share so had one each. The breakfast was excellent too with plenty of choices. The portions were generous and served at a good pace neither being rushed nor having to wait too long. Our room was clean and comfortable with a large bed that gave us a good night's sleep which is what you want. The only down side, if it is a down side, is the room was very warm when we arrived and it may be better to have the temperature set lower because it's easier and quicker to warm a rule than cool it.

Cons: Room was on the warm side

Lovely weekend but not perfect - Edit
Stayed two nights in the Winter. Check-in was in the dark, lugging suitcases through mud and puddles down the road and over a bridge. On arrival a Canada Goose jacket was hanging up by the door, which I think belonged to staff. Only one staff member out of many is vegan. The owners are vegan but are not present. This set up made it feel more like a money making venture. The room was outside the hotel (in the rain and ice), which made it feel a bit like you weren't actually staying there and happened to be going to a vegan place next door. The bedding did not fit the bed, which led to a bit of discomfort and being cold. There were no hooks for coats or wet walking clothes and the towel hook in the bathroom was broken. The shower pressure and heat was not the best. The shower gel and hand-wash were full of terrible additives, and they used chemical diffusers to mask smells. Some attention to detail and upgrading is required. Lighting in the room was dim. We were woken too early by barking dogs. Breakfast was put away early on the first morning so we missed out on some options. The juices and jams were terribly cheap tasting. Some of the restaurant seating was uncomfortable. Afternoon tea sounded bought in and uninspiring so gave that a miss. Gluten free options either had things removed for the same cost, or the bread option was Schar, which is utterly boring. Food was not award worthy, and that is probably the reason a lot of people go there. There was a large mark up on wine, which we saw online for sixteen pound less. No guests were obviously vegan or wanted to socialise, you could easily forget the place was fully plantbased. The internet went down during the stay so that impacted the card machines, phones and tv. If you aren't staying for the walks, there isn't much else in the area and it is sandwiched between farms (brave). Despite these negative points and something not feeling quite right, we would still support again and recommend. Listed what was lacking so that improvements could possibly be made, and guests know what to expect.

Incredible - Edit
We planned a whole holiday around Beck Hall and we are so glad we did! We stayed in a nearby cottage, but went to the restaurant for most of our meals. We sampled breakfast, lunch, dinner, Sunday lunch and afternoon tea. Everything was incredible and the staff are so lovely and welcoming. There is so much love and attention paid to everything. They even gave us freebies for being such good customers! We were sad our holiday had to end and we will definitely be coming back!

Worth travelling for - Edit
It’s rare to get a fully vegan hotel and restaurant, especially in such a beautiful area. We came just for dinner (didn’t stay at the hotel) and it was great. We had three courses and would recommend them all. The food is traditional pub food, but also not like anything you’d find elsewhere (no falafel wraps in sight!)

Always great - Edit
Stayed twice now. Loved it. Super dog friendly. Sandwiches are dead good, gutted they didn’t have the steak sandwich when we visited last but a coronation tempeh baguette made up for it. Evening meals have always been delicious. Almost too much good stuff to choose from. Breakfast is ace too.

My favourite is the cheesecake, but everything I have eaten ( I’ve had 3 breakfasts, 3 lunches and 3 dinners) has been great. Hopefully they will bring back the steak sandwich!!

Amazing! You have to try the roast dinner. - Edit
We stayed in a nearby Airbnb and ate here three times; for breakfast, dinner and Sunday lunch. Every meal was amazing. The roast dinner was one of the best vegan ones I've ever had, and the pastries with the breakfast were delicious!

Perfect and food so delicious all vegan - Edit
We have been once before six years ago before it was fully vegan and it was lovely then- we had the vegan fish and chips.
Read moreThis time was our first visit of it being fully plant based and it was even better. We went for my partner’s birthday meal and the food was delicious ~ we had the soup of the day, Korean rice bowl and juicy marbles steak and a sticky toffee pudding plus cocktails. It was all delicious and tasty, you get plenty for the reasonably priced menu too. The staff were super friendly and helpful even arranging parking for us as it was such heavy rain and the barriers were up as the car park is only for overnight guests. Will definitely go back as soon as we can😄
Pros: All vegan menu, Friendly staff , Dog friendly

Amazing place - Edit
Amazing hotel in a gorgeous and beautiful area. The only point we didn’t like was the fact that dogs roam free in the restaurant area. As the space is limited between tables, we had our food touched by fury tails. Also, some guests didn’t have hygienic manners and allowed dogs on top of the dining tables, and fed them with rawhide (big leather strips) & knuckle bones on top of the tables (not very appropriate for a vegan place).
Read moreWe love dogs, but we’re also not comfortable (hygiene and allergy speaking) leading that dogs sleep on top of the beds.
Pros: Delicious food, Beautiful location , Quiet area
Cons: Dogs roaming free in the dinning area , Dogs on top of dinning tables

Loved it. The food was so fresh and tasty...enjoyed every mouthful. Totally vegan menu so good to be able to choose anything on it. Lovely location in the beautiful village of Malham. It was wonderful eating outside by a picturesque beck (even saw a kingfisher!). Great service. Plan to return very soon. Just one small negative...music playing inside was a bit too lively for relaxed dining (that might just be me though!).

Vegan Sunday roast - Edit
Made this a dedicated stop on our cycle trip around Yorkshire Dales. We reserved a table for the Sunday roast which wasn't necessary in hindsight as it was busy but not packed. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. staff were very friendly and considerate of my partner's food intolerances, checking multiple things for us. Love that it's not only plantbased but also sustainable in other aspects of their business. The only point of improvement is the lack of dedicated cycle parking. Staff was very friendly though and they let us park in the garden.

Cons: No dedicated cycle parking
