Built in the 18th C as a coaching inn, the Blue Lion has been updated to meet the needs of todays visitor, yet still retains its original charm. With flagstone floors, candlelit restaurant and open fires in every public room, as well as a wonderful location in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales and an excellent reputation for food, the Blue Lion has much to offer. The 15 bedrooms are all different, some contemporary and some more traditional. Close to the Spa towns of Ripon and Harrogate.
