What guests think

The Tan Hill Inn offers a distinctive, remote moorland stay with a cozy pub atmosphere and sweeping views, drawing walkers and cyclists for its characterful setting and lively bar warmed by open fires.

Many guests praise friendly, helpful staff and consistently good pub food and drinks. However, several reviews note slow or disorganized service with long waits at busy times, and breakfast quality can suffer. Rooms are generally comfortable, though some are very small with cramped bathrooms, and shared bathroom facilities for non en suite stays can be limited and not always clean. Expect a memorable scenic stay in a remote setting, but be prepared for crowds, rustic shared facilities, and prices that can feel high.

All the lovely views, atmosphere and good service were cancelled out by the toilet and shower. We paid £166 for the night and couldnt use the toilet for the queue of campers who paid £10. Had to go into the closed pub at 7am and pee with the door wedged open because the lights were off. The shower room is tiny and serves 16 staying in the pub and another 2 dozen campers. There was no shower gel, a filthy muddy floor and a dirty single bath mat being used by everyone. The luxury dome had a comfortable bed and nice bedding but the kettle was dirty and the cupd hwer dirty.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The location is a perfect ten, but the staff was far from good. First of all, it took us 1.5 hours to check in, and we didn’t sense any effort to speed up the process. There was a complete lack of willingness from the staff to make our experience enjoyable. Our room was also dirty, which unfortunately aligned with the poor check-in experience. The Tan Hill has the potential to be amazing. It has everything going for it—except the staff, who failed to make our stay pleasant.
