There weren't shops or much nearby. But i think the purpose of this lodge is that you get to see the countryside and visit the 3 peaks Yorkshire as it's the closet by 27 mins drive. Plus it got a bath tub which is needed after a long hike.

Ran by a wonderful couple who are really friendly and accommodating. The lodge is in a beautiful location and the facilities and room are lovely. Breakfast was included and we were asked beforehand what we wanted so it would be ready for the time we requested. And it tasted wonderful. Me and my girlfriend have visited here twice now and I'd greatly recommend a stay here.

Despite my late check-in, the folks at Middle Flass Lodge were ready to go. Very friendly and I was made to feel immediately welcome into their place. Classic and quaint.

We found the lodge very comfortable and enjoyed the breakfast. However we were expecting an evening meal but we were not informed that it was necessary to book this in advance. As a consequence it was necessary to drive to the nearest village to eat which was disappointing.

Excellent place very friendly hosts. They don't do bar snacks but one of our party was ill and Nigel made us sandwiched and the best chips ever. Very friendly and attentive

Great hosts! Very friendly and forthcoming! Great place to explore the southern Yorkshire Dales and the much more quiet but nonetheless impressive Forest of Bowland

Absolutely superb. Family run, wonderfully friendly, exceptional breakfasts and amazing 5 star plus evening meals by our host. Nothing is too much trouble. An absolute must for anyone just needing a few days break in the peace and quiet

Really excellent venue for a short stay. Very welcoming and hospitable. Freshly cooked and excellent breakfast.

Really welcoming B&B, owners looked after our family

Brilliant choice for a quiet stay. Nigel and Joan are very welcoming, and cook a brilliant breakfast. I've been told (by fellow guests) that the restaurant meals are great in the evening, so I'll just need to return to try them!

Hotel staff were excellent could not have been more welcoming. Were very accommodating of us needing an early start and arranged so we could have cereals in our rooms so we could get out early (5.30 in the morning). Room was clean and well appointed.

Room was well presented and a good size and the staff were very pleasant.

Welcoming stay at guesthouse in the Ribble Valley - quiet and friendly

tea and cake on arrival very welcome also staff very helpful would stay again anytime

welcome was great, hotel is perfect for exploring the Yorkshire dales. room great and spotless. used hotel as a base for the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge. breakfast was amazing

Lovely B&B in quite a remote area, taxis come no problem though if you want to get around without driving. Nigel and Joan were delightful, excellent breakfast choice and all very well cooked. We stayed in an annex room, size was excellent, bed very comfortable would recommend. Only slight niggle is during the day the room was unbelievably hot with just the skylight for ventilation. No problem at night/in the morning heat wise but imagine mid summer could be very warm but only a slight downside on an excellent place to stay.

Very comfortable guesthouse, lovely setting, very quiet (about 9-10 miles from nearest town/village). Great breakfast and lovely hosts

Lovely setting and excellent breakfast

Excellent food comfy and homely good service nothing too much trouble

Very friendly and welcoming, Fantastic food at a reasonable price. Comfortable bed. Will be going back.
