Whether it’s the solid sound of the antique clocks ticking in the background in place of bland musak, the enticement of the open fire in winter or the view of the Dale from the garden in summer, stepping into The Sportsman’s Arms entices you to slow down and leave normal hectic life at the threshold.
A long-time favourite haunt, The Sportsman’s in Nidderdale knows what it’s about. It resists the temptation to follow the latest interior or culinary fashions in favour of a traditional, well-heeled country look and a reputation for serving great food that simply brings out the best of seasonal produce.
We held a 50th birthday get-together at The Sportsman’s one April, with our group staying in the 11 bedrooms for the weekend. Suffice to say, it was fantastic from start to finish, ending with one of those great strolls with a lovely bunch of mates along a scenic footpath by the side of Gouthwaite Reservoir. Happy memories indeed! Amanda Brown
