The Woodman Inn

We were meandering around the back waters of North Yorkshire to the South of Bedske on an old scenic drive at at midday found ourselves in Burneston, outside the Woodman Inn, and by now being hungry decided to stop, a good decision. Being early we were 1st to be seated and received excellent service, choosing their battered Haddock main with chips and peas, and it was superb, we would certainly stop there again if in the area, as we visit the nearby Wensleydale Railway as shareholders. We noticed they had won TripAdvisor awards recently, and noticed a display featuring our favourite Taittinger Champagne.

A very comfortable, value for money pub with accommodation. Our room was separate to the pub so was quiet, cosy and clean. The staff were very welcoming. We particularly would like to give a shout out to Chloe, who couldn’t do enough for us and was lovely. Hopefully we’ll be back! Mark and Michelle

Our second visit to The Woodman & equally as good as the first. This time we decided to stop en route to the Lake District as it would be around lunchtime. My husband had the Sunday lunch of roast beef after his stater of black pudding & bacon salad with balsamic vinegar. The bed was lovely & tender & the vegetables cooked perfectly, he said his starter was delicious! I had the chicken & leek pie with home cooked chips & peas. The pie was absolutely yummy, big juicy pieces of chicken & lots of leeks in a creamy sauce, under a lid of crisp pastry, I was thoughtfully brought a spoon to eat my sauce with, such a good idea as it was too good to leave a drop! There is only one downside & that is that we live too far away to visit regularly. Thank you guys for another delicious meal.

We had a family holiday in this area and had two meals in this venue . A really nice comfortable place to eat staff really friendly and value for money. We were made most welcome and nothing was too much trouble. We all had a different meal and every one was serviced hot.

We had booked for one night's B&B and were very impressed. We were warmly welcomed and well looked after. The en-suite rooms are modern, well-equipped and comfortable. Our evening meal was fantastic with fresh locally sourced ingredients. We also enjoyed the selection of local ales in the bar. Our full cooked breakfast was delicious and set us up well for our day ahead. Overall a great start to our holiday.

We stayed at the Woodman inn this Saturday just gone and stayed in the Forest room All I can say is it was absolutely perfect!! Rooms: Really big , clean, comfy and quiet and we were able to check in a couple of hours early Staff: We met the owner and the Chef and both were really welcoming and engaging and it was obvious they loved what they did and were proud of the Woodman and they have every right to be Mood: the bar area feels very cosy and the added bonus of a resident dog made it feel even more homely and I loved him wandering over now and again to be stroked Food: Blimey where do I begin? We arrived around 1:30pm so had lunch and you cant even call it pub grub, it was fantastic, I had the steak pie and Donna had the Wensleydale Chicken. We arent the 'take pics of your food to post to Instagram' kinda people but it looked so awesome that Donna had to take a Pic! we hardly spoke a word as we were so busy demolishing it all! we left thinking how excited we were for having Dinner there. Likewise Dinner was fantastic and afterwards we collapsed on the bed like 2 beached whales and realised that had scuppered our planned dirty weekend as we couldnt move, so we fell asleep in a food coma Breakfast again was just great, all high quality food used and the service was so fast!, we made sure we thanked the Chef for all the meals he made us as it was top notch id give 6 stars if I could, and thanks for having us.
