The best B&B ever in the whole world

Linda and Graham went out of their way to make our stay unforgettable from our arrival to our departure with all little details that make you feel truly cared for.
They have been amazing with our little 9 months old baby.
They even cooked his favourite meal!
We had the most delicious food in all our 3 months journey around UK and you can really feel professionalism and love in every aspect.
All the vegan meals are very researched and delicious, we wish to have stayed longer!
We highly suggest the B&B! Is a very special place

An oasis of comfort and great grub in remote Yorkshire

What's not to love? Graham and Linda provide comfortable, spacious rooms in a tiny hamlet awash with nature. Their breakfasts and evening meals are a thing of joy, and rival anything I might find in a city centre vegan restaurant. I couldn't fault this place.

Pros: The food was incredible, The hospitality was top-notch, The bed was really comfy!

Cons: Lots of noisy motorcycles driving by!

Another wonderful stay!

This is our 5th stay (at least) at Goats and Oats and I can’t praise it enough. Linda and Graham have created something very special. The rooms are extremely comfortable and the breakfasts are outstanding. This is my favourite B & B of all time!

Wonderful and peaceful

We had such a wonderful time and were sad to leave - 3 nights weren't enough! The food was some of the best we have had: huge breakfasts and, if you have the chance, the evening meals were better than you would get in a restaurant (especially the curry!). We particularly enjoyed all of the home made vegan cakes as well😄Linda and Graham are really kind and thoughtful and were great with our 7 year old. The room was spotless, really comfortble and had luxury vegan products. The area is simply stunning and peaceful - perfect for fell walking and nature spotting.

Oct 2022 - Just returned from a second visit and loved it again! We went full on with breakfast, picnics and dinners on the available nights (basically ordered everything!!!)- all delicious, especially the curry, pasties and fruit cake. Linda and Graham are generous in so many ways and had lots of jokes to share. We were sent home with cake and some hooch to soften the blow of leaving. Will be back!

Fabulous vegan B&B

Fantastic from start to finish. Linda and Graham greeted us with delicious cakes and made us feel so welcome. They were so helpful, nothing was too much trouble for them.
The rooms were tastefully designed and very comfortable. The view from our window was stunning.
The food was incredible, everything was vegan, freshly made and delicious. They are now licensed to sell alcohol and have a good selection of wines and ales. Graham’s homemade hooch is amazing too.
We will definitely be returning.

June 2022, we’ve just been back for another week and everything is still exceptional. Look out for the review of our visit next year! 😀

Delicious!

We went for 5 days and it was amazing! The owners are the nicest people in the world and the food is just amazing. We had dinner there twice and Linda even prepared a delicious lunch for us one day. We felt so welcome and well looked after, it was fantastic. Everything is super clean and the beds are so comfortable you don't want to get up! We will definitely come back!

Pros: Food, Comfy beds, Cleanliness

Cons: Nothing

Best Vegan stay in the Yorkshire Dales

WOW, what can I say about our stay at Goats & Oats other than WOW

Not only was the journey there stunning but the location was too near to Waterfalls, Viaducts and expansive panoramas... the Welcome was warm and inviting on such a fresh winters day and the room was beautifully decorated. Upon arrival we were spoiled by freshly baked vegan rock cakes and we settled down with a cup of vegan cappuccino to enjoy them. After settling in we had a drive into a neighbouring town and had a nice walk, the B&B is short distance from lovely towns such as Hawes, Sedbergh & Kirkby Stephen and of course Cumbria & the Lakes too. On the evening we had a very delicious and hearty vegan Moroccan Soup & Guinness & Mushroom pie with vegetables and the quality was outstanding, the flavours were perfect. The following morning we had a fabulous breakfast, again the quality was exceptional and set us up for the day. We Geocached locally taking in the high ground for a full far reaching view and an aptly named Lady Ann walk,,, apt because our room was the Lady Ann Room. After a strenuous day walking we had a lovely shower in the newly fitted shower room and then had our evening meal which was Lentil soup followed by Thai curry, we could not fault it on flavour and freshness of ingredients. That evening we settled down to watch Strictly in the comfort of our room which had a huge smart TV with Netflix and Freeview plus free wifi. The following day we enjoyed another outstanding breakfast and then set about going to the nearby Red Squirrel Trail where we did indeed encounter several of them happy to feed from our hand and then bury their cache for later...
Overall an eleven out of ten..... Perfect not just for vegans but anyone wanting a comfortable stay in a great location with great food...

Pros: Food quality, Room quality, Location

Cons: Nothing

Highly recommended!

100% recommend whole heartedly a stay at Goats & Oats!
Sadly our car was involved in a flooding incident and written off - so we were left stranded very far from home with soaking wet belongings, a written off car and feeling pretty sorry for ourselves.
Graham and Linda have been absolutely amazing and gone above and beyond - washing and drying our clothes, providing the most unbelievably amazing meals and snacks (including fresh out the oven warm scones with butter, cream and jam) - and making us feel so comfortable and at home. It's made a very stressful situation - calm and manageable!
The breakfasts are amazing - full cooked breakfast and pancakes are fantastic! and optional dinners too, which are filling and so tasty (we loved the sticky toffee pudding!)
The rooms are beautiful and have everything you could need including lovely towels, homemade rock buns and kettle - tea and coffee making facilities. TV has Netflix included and just an amazing friendly atmosphere.
Honestly, the most beautiful setting and views, gorgeous vegan food and drink and lovely hosts - This has to be a must to anyone's holiday wish list! It's a 10 out of 10! ❤️

Pros: Amazing friendly hosts, Beautiful food, Warm & friendly environment

Amazing 5* B&B

Staying at Goats and Oats was a 5* experience. Linda and Graham were welcoming and made us feel right at home in their beautiful B&B. The food was delicious, exactly what you need before and after a long day of hiking. I am gluten free and they went out of the way to make special meals. The accommodation was fab and the trails and scenery on their doorstep is like something out of a fairytale. We also had the treat of meeting other like-minded people, which was the cherry on top. Highly recommended.

Beautiful B&B in the Lake District

Stayed for a long relaxing girls weekend at goats and oats recently. It was fantastic!!

The room was spotless and decorated beautifully with everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The finishing touches with fluffy robes and cosy slippers were a wonderful touch.

The vegan breakfast was to die for ! Everything was freshly made and was delicious. The pancakes were incredibly good.

Linda and Graham are fabulous hosts and both go out of their way to make your stay as easy and as comfortable as possible.

I have already booked to go back in November for another relaxing weekend away.

The location is beautiful with walks right on your doorstep.

I highly recommend Goats and Oats and cannot wait to go back.

Pros: Incredible hosts (Linda & Graham), cosy rooms, amazing vegan food to die for !

Wonderful stay wondeful host

Beautiful room, comfortable warm and cosy. Fabulous location - on the doorstep of great walks through the Dales. Delicious food - range of options for breakfast, and Linda is happy to do packed lunches for your hike. Linda could not have been more accommodating, making sure she did everything she could to make our stay comfortable. We had cakes, coffees, and were treated like VIPs throughout the stay! Would highly recommend for a hiking holiday.

Pros: Fantastic host, Delicious food, Gorgeous room
