The Horse & Farrier - Otley

John Ford

Stayed here for work and was really pleasantly surprised. Having stayed locally before, I had somehow missed this place, but will definitely use again. Welcoming friendly staff and lovely large clean rooms with comfy beds. The selection of beers on the bar is also brilliant. They don't do breakfast, but there's plenty of cafes locally that do.

This place has been taken over and they know what they are doing. They brew their own Beer and Lager which are very good and the outside drinking area is lovely.
Open Mike nights and live music is on most Weekends too.
The Rooms are £105 each and look very good for the price.
Spot on ,with excellent service.
Cheers all.

Saturday night stay. We checked in quite late, 7.45pm, but this wasn't a problem as we were shown to our room by host John. Nice clean and tidy room with comfy bed. We quickly changed and headed down to the bar to be served by...... John. There were a few in the bar but certainly not full. We had a quick chat with John and we quickly realised that he was working alone and had been since opening at midday. We had a couple of drinks before having a wander around Otley. We returned for a nightcap and yes John was still serving, glass collecting, clearing tables etc. All with a smile. This man deserves a medal and the owners of this pub have a jewel working for them. He made our stay so worthwhile, Thank You John

Surprisingly large pub in the centre of town, modernised interior with a large outdoor seating area at the rear. Quiet when we visited but with plenty of room inside and out if needed for busier times. Good selection of beers and lagers to satisfy everyone's needs.

We booked 2 nights for a wedding where the reception was being held in Otley - great location for getting back after the reception we thought. On arrival, chaos! No staff whatsoever, and a bar with several customers waiting to be served. Rang the bell several times, and after 15mins or so the (aparently) only staff member turned up. We were then told the kitchen was 'broken', so no breakfast (which we'd booked). They couldn't reduce the room cost to allow for lack of breakfast, but we could have £10 each drinks at the bar! We didn't take up that offer, as we were meeting family for drinks elsewhere. We had intended eating dinner at the Horse & Farrier this evening, but obviously couldn't. Very poor, and would not recommend. That said, the room was just about OK. Pity about someone's polo shirt left in the wardrobe (sadly not my size). Not a great welcome to Otley!

Arrived to be told didn't have our booking as taken over 6 weeks ago and our details were not passed on, but luckly had a room for us .room was very nice and comfortable but too expensive I think as no breakfast. No food at all actually as kitchin not up and running! The staff were very nice though and saying all this we did enjoy our stay and otley is a lovely place .

Booked 6 months in advance for a wedding. Showed up and told by the bar staff that they could not find our booking and that they had sold out of rooms for the night. They phoned their manager who said the "system was down" and they couldn't process a refund, so to request one through Expedia which I'm currently trying to do. They didn't offer any kind of backup or compensation. Save yourself the bother and avoid.

Edit in response to reply: we must not be the person you are thinking of as we were offered no alternative accomodation, we stayed with friends in Leeds. It's really not our problem that you didn't organise with the previous owners to properly take over the existing bookings.

This is a lovely relaxing pub to stay over in, or just have a drink at. Staff on the ball and kindly helped us to top floor room with luggage. Room clean comfortable adequate for our short stay. Breakfast in morning expertly done by Leon who was kind, courteous and a very good manager inspite of working alone. We will be returning as in our view everything was in place for an enjoyable stay. Thankyou!
