Facilities at The Rose and Crown at Romaldkirk
The hotel oozes with character with open fire places, wibbly wobbly walls, oak beams, it is a truly unique property and with only 14 rooms each guest feels special. The rooms have undergone a refurbishment in 2014 and still retain original features with modern amenities. Being in such a picturesque village the church is known as 'The Cathedral of the Dale' and still on the village green are the stocks and water pumps from days gone by.
The restaurant is known in the area and has been awarded some of the top awards yet the food is homely rather than fussy and the hotel endeavors to source as many ingredients as possible from local suppliers.
Home truths
- The rooms are split between the main house and the mews cottages to the rear.

The Rose and Crown is a magical place. They have thought of everything you might wish and provided it. My companion and I loved it. I decided to break a journey I normally make by train to take in the Bowes Museum and this wonderful discovery was revealed to me. The Bowes was shut for some reason but the R&C was as great warm hug which took away the disappointment. Go. Be cherished!
we needed a well earned rest and the rose and crown certainly provided it!
Fantastic Country Hotel
My girlfriend and I stayed one night here and absolutely loved it. The setting is idyllic and the countryside around and walks available are fantastic which means there is a lot to do. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant was also brilliant.
Everything about our stay was great and couldn't have asked for more!
Relaxing break
Very nice hotel in a beautiful small village. Nothing else going on there so have to eat and drink in the hotel. We stayed for 2 nights and would have liked to see a couple of different options on the menu. Just a small booked to eat at 7.30 on both evenings and by the time it came to dessert on both evenings our first choice was sold out!!
A pleasant stay allround
The overall experience was relaxing and enjoyable.The missing tv remote control limited our viewing
to the bedroom rather than the lounge area for which we had paid extra. This shoulde have been spotted when the room was prepared. Fortunately the fine weather mitigated this loss of amenity.
Traditional English Inn
Warm & welcoming, classy but not pretentious is how I'd describe this comfortable inn. Our room was very comfortable; everything you needed was there. The location, in this old village is perfect for a getaway at any time of year. We dined in the restaurant where the service & standard of the food was excellent. Afterwards, we relaxed in the cosy bar, with its roaring fire & traditional furniture.
