Highly recommended - full of character and tastefully styled rooms - excellent restaurant and bar dining in a ‘local pub’ setting. Pay& Display parking nearby (or use the Settle Social Club car park reduced rates) - well worth a visit to this charming community

A welcoming, relaxing stay

Welcoming and comfortable stay. We enjoyed every minute of our stay at the Golden Lion. A very friendly and well run place. The staff worked hard to ensure we and our dog had a fantastic break. The food was excellent and the room had all we could want.

Fantastic place to stay in a really lovely town

Really clean and nice place to stay. Great food and a nice friendly atmosphere in the pub. My friend & I were doing the 3 peaks challenge the next morning and the hotel made arrangements for breakfast to be left out early for us so we could have something before we left.
