Family-friendly gastro inn in Kelbrook offering award-winning Full English breakfast and unique gluten-free dining options
Dining
The Craven Heifer Inn serves an award-winning Full English breakfast each morning, prepared from local ingredients supplied by farmers from the Yorkshire and Lancashire border area. The restaurant offers tapas and lunch specials alongside the main menu, with unique gluten-free dining options available. The bar features an extensive selection of ales and an extensive wine list, with live music and a lively atmosphere.
Rooms
The hotel offers a Luxurious Loft Suite that provides spacious indoor and outdoor living areas. Family rooms have flexible bedding arrangements that accommodate up to four guests, while all rooms include premium bedding and luxury toiletries. Bathrobes are provided in every room, and the lodge rooms at the back of the pub offer ground-floor access and views of the hills.
Family
The Craven Heifer Inn provides comprehensive family-friendly amenities, including family rooms with flexible bedding for up to four guests. The outdoor seating area and garden offer a safe space for children to play while adults relax. The hotel's location near Skipton Castle and the Yorkshire Dales provides families with easy access to local attractions and walks.
Location
The hotel sits on the A56 between Colne in Lancashire and Skipton in North Yorkshire, 10 minutes' drive from the end of the M65 near Boundary Mill. Guests can walk directly from the pub onto footpaths that follow the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. Free parking is available on site, including accessible parking and an electric vehicle charging station.

“The Craven Heifer Inn strikes a confident balance between comfortable, stylish accommodation and high-quality dining, with rooms consistently praised for their cleanliness and modern appointments. The kitchen consistently impresses, serving up excellent meals that represent good value despite a slightly higher price point, complemented by attentive and friendly staff. Navigating between the rooms and the main building requires a bit of forethought due to the separation and steps, but this is a minor consideration given the overall positive experience.”
