The Traddock Austwick

About The Traddock Austwick

Located in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and ideally positioned for the Three Peaks of Whernside, Pen-Y-Ghent and Ingleborough, The Traddock is steeped in history. Originally built in the 1740s as a family home, the Georgian building was extended in the Victorian era and had endured several changes of use until recently becoming the hotel and restaurant of today. Passionately run by the Reynolds family, the name derives from the trading paddock that was once on the grounds and was nick-named 'The Traddock' by local farmers. The hotel has 13 individually styled, en-suite rooms that retain their original features and character. A new suite - Town Head, Room 9 - has been recently added and is located on the second floor in the newly converted Victorian loft and is a large and spacious open plan suite. It boasts open beams, a cast iron bathtub and numerous period features from the original edifice.  The award-winning restaurant is an integral part of the hotel's ethos of best practice and sustainability, which extends to the policy of local sourcing and minimal carbon footprint. They use organic and bio-dynamic produce where possible. The kitchen team of four is headed by Chef Thomas Pickard and dinner is served daily from 6.30-9pm and offers starters such as Smoked Haddock and Spinach Pikelets, Soft Poached Egg and mains of Pan Roasted Rack of Mansergh Hall Lamb, Rosemary Polenta Cake, Honey Roasted Parsnips, Rosemary and Redcurrant Jus. Or slow food such as Confit Shin of Mansergh Hall Beef-Shallot Tatin, Turnip and Horseradish Puree, Dauphinoise and Red Wine Jus. The impressive 80-bin wine list includes 35 organics and they hold regular wine tasting dinners.
