Winter Special Offer

Once again we are delighted to offer our Winter Package from 4th January until 25th March 2010.

The price is £48.75 per person per week night, Sunday to Thursday which includes two course dinner, bed and breakfast for a minimum 2-night stay, based on two people sharing.

A stay to include a Friday or a Saturday night is rated at £53.75 per person per night on the same basis.

As this is an extremely popular offer, we encourage you to book early!
The Buck Inn is an ideal country retreat for those seeking to get away from the busy pace of modern life. Whether you are looking for a romantic break, a family holiday or to indulge in outdoor pursuits, The Buck Inn can cater for all.

If places of outstanding natural beauty are your idea of heaven, then a day or two scouring the dales with their medieval dry-stone walls and barns will be right up your street. By contrast, the moorland above is as wild and open as it comes. There are several spectacular waterfalls, from the very popular and well known Aysgarth Falls and Hardraw Force to the more secluded but no less beautiful waterfall at West Burton.

On clear days a drive to the top of Wensleydale, Wharfedale, Coverdale or Swaledale will reward you with some truly breathtaking views Brimham Rocks are quite amazing. The Buck Inn has teamed up with local anglers to acquire exclusive access to a beautiful mile and a half stretch the River Ure which is a short drive from The Buck Inn. We will happily arrange day passes for guests to enjoy a day's Fly Fishing on the river, which is kept well-stocked. Having spent a long day taking in the local attractions, you can unwind in the small, cosy bar by our open fire.

Our bar offers an extensive wine list to suit all tastes, a selection of well-kept real ales including the locally brewed "Black Sheep" and a range of guest options from independent brewers.
