What a great way to get lost and unwind in such tranquil settings. This was our fifth visit to the Willow Restaurant and each time our trips just get longer. Margaret and the staff are without a doubt the most heartwarming and welcoming people you could ever wish to meet. It goes without saying that the cuisine at the Willow is as always delightful with a wonderful range of home made treats and locally sourced produce. After such a lovely meal what better way to unwind then heading back to our room with a bottle of the gorgeous Whistling Duck wine from the restaurant. With a gorgeous private living room the accommodation offers the ideal setting to just relax and enjoy the peace and quiet offered by the Yorkshire Dales.
We will be sure to return next year for another week of much needed rest and relaxation.

We happened to stumble across this hidden gem whilst out walking. Set back off the main busy Pateley Bridge street, the Willow Restaurant is one of the dales best kept secrets. With its traditional setting the restaurant and its staff could not have being more welcoming. The menu was exactly what we were looking for and we waited in the relaxed bar area. Once seated we enjoyed what has to be said the most amazing home made soup and roll myself and my wife have ever tasted. With the such a start to the meal it seemed somewhat hard to beat. Oh how wrong we could have being. I settled for the roast Beef with home made Yorkshire puddings. Well I have to say I have not enjoyed a meal as much in some time. Everything down to the seasoning of the home made gravy was just a delight. My wife’s home made seafood pancake was just as pleasing. With what was a treasure chest of fresh fish. With our plates clean we could only mange the delights of the fresh ground coffee.
Great food, great service and at remarkably reasonable prices.
We will be certain to call back at the The Willow Restaurant soon and await more true homemade delights.
