Highly recommended
Very clean. Room recently redecorated to a very high standard. Lovely welcome tray with good choice of tea and coffee and some local fudge. I was offered a flask with fresh milk for my room. Great attention to detail.

Fantastic place to stay in a really lovely town
Really clean and nice place to stay. Great food and a nice friendly atmosphere in the pub. My friend & I were doing the 3 peaks challenge the next morning and the hotel made arrangements for breakfast to be left out early for us so we could have something before we left.

Staff were lovely and very welcoming. Food and drink were both great and reasonably priced for the quality. The room gorgeous but I do recommend a pair of ear buds/plugs as it is on the main street and rooms to the front do have traffic going by from early in the morning.

Average Stay.
The hotel has the potential to be lovely but the room decor is very tired. The bathroom is tiny with a minuscule shower stall and nowhere to store anything. The room although spacious was badly in need of a deep clean especially the carpet which was very badly stained. The restaurant was just OK. The staff however made up for the other shortcomings.

I booked into the Golden Lion to visit family in the local area. I spent a lot of my childhood in Settle and nearby Langcliffe. The staff were very friendly and the rooms clean and tidy. We had dinner in the restaurant with some family and it was very good. Breakfast we great and the staff attentive.
