    Lovely staff who were really helpful beds could have been wider and the salmon was over cooked.

    Booked at The Fat Lamb to break the journey from Northern Scotland to the South Coast on homeward leg of holiday. We have stayed in Ravenstonedale before as a good midway point, but never The Fat Lamb. Just what we needed after a 6 hr drive....
