The Drove Inn offers the
perfect combination of a friendly, traditional inn and, close
by, quality self-catering accommodation. The inn dates back to
the late 1800s and derives its name from the days when stock
was driven to auction on foot.
The original longhouse is still
evident but the inn has grown considerably over the years and
has been tastefully modernised to suit today's clientele.
Kenneth Hope and his family have been here since 1974 and have
built up an excellent reputation for the food on offer with
steaks a speciality. They offer a full menu with wine list, or
just a snack, every evening of the week. Self-catering guests
stay at Drove Cottage which sleeps up to nine people. On the
ground floor there's an en suite twin room; on the first floor
are two twin rooms and one double.
There's a lounge with colour TV
and video; a fully equipped kitchen with microwave and fridge,
bathroom and separate shower room. The Hope family farm 65
acres of land where guests are welcome to roam along with the
hardy Swaledale sheep. Within the grounds is a beautiful
stretch of the River Lyne where anglers can try their luck!
