Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Shibden Mill Inn from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests often appreciate the Shibden Mill Inn's peaceful location, making it convenient for visiting Shibden Hall with a pleasant walk. The hotel offers a traditional pub atmosphere alongside modern twists, and some have particularly enjoyed dining outside when the weather is favorable, thanks to the availability of heaters in the evening. Dinner and breakfast receive high praise, with homemade cookies and Emma's homemade muesli and jams adding a special touch; however, a few guests found certain dishes, particularly those served on Sundays, to be overly salty or lacking in flavor. Rooms are generally considered spacious, and the free car park next to a small stream adds to the overall convenience.

friendly staff lovely views salty bacon boiled broccoli
The restaurant provided really good food in the evening! breakfast included a really good full selection with muffins, omelette, salmon and scrambled eggs. It was awesome. I was impressed!
My disappointment stems from the salty dishes. Each main course had too much seasoning. some creamed greens were missing from the game pies which affected the overall experience. What a shame!

Mixed Feelings After My Visit

overpowering mash watery cheese
The meal really detracted from the experience. Foccacia and butters were nice to start.. but my pie of the day had a mustard mash so overpowering I could barely taste the blue cheese. My partner's beef lacked imagination. The cauliflower cheese tasted watery, not at all what I expected for a birthday dinner.
