Dog-friendly rooms and bunkhouses beside the Ribblehead Viaduct
The Station Inn offers dog-friendly accommodation in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales, right beside the Ribblehead Viaduct. Our en-suite rooms and bunkhouses make the perfect base for walking the Yorkshire Three Peaks, exploring the Settle-Carlisle Railway, or simply enjoying the stunning Dales countryside. Free parking, free WiFi, and a hearty homemade breakfast are included with every stay.
All of the rooms are named after the shanty towns that used to populate the large area of land known as Batty Moss. Over 3000 labourers were employed to build the viaduct. Construction started in 1870 and the amazing project was completed in 1875. The labourers lived in ramshackle construction camps which stretched from just behind the Station Inn's wall up to the foot of Whernside. The foundations of the shanty towns are still visible if you know what to look for. We have named our rooms to tip our hat to the determination and bravery of these workers. Whilst the shanties were rough and dangerous places, we hope our rooms provide a safer and warmer environment for you to spend a night!

If you want a warm bed on a budget with a wonderful pub on your doorstep, The Station Inn's bunkhouses are ideal for groups. Our bunk houses are basic but excellent value - all you need is a sleeping bag, we provide undersheets and pillow cases. Bunk houses aren't just for intrepid adventurers, we welcome all kinds of groups who enjoy the atmosphere and convenience of traditional accommodation which is somewhere between camping and a bed and breakfast.

“I have been here on a few occasions now walking with friends. They have accommodation however I can't comment as I haven't stayed there. I usually stay in my van nearby or in the car park overnight. (This may be full and unavailable if you arrive at peak times) The food selection was brilliant just what we needed after a long day in the hills walking. There is a great selection of drinks for all both soft drinks alcohol and hot drinks. We ordered breakfast for the morning and it was absolutely fantastic there was 5 of us in total all food came out together all full English with toast and coffee great value for money and a refil of coffee along with extra toast I really couldn't fault it. There are not many places that do this nowadays so fair play to this place. I will be back again later in the year for sure.”

“Stayed here one night last week in my Campervan and it was a great little spot for a stop over. Staff were friendly and very helpful and the food was good. Only criticism, if staying in the carpark would be the cattle grid can be a little noisy as vehicles rumble over it in the night.”

“Such a wonderful place! We stayed after completing the three peaks and it couldn't have been better. Delicious food with veggie / vegan options. Charming service. And a cosy clean room overlooking the viaduct. They'd done loads to make customers feel covid safe as well. Would highly recommend :))”

“Only came in for a drink ... Well, had thought about food but miscalculated my train and also a hoard of pile got to the bar as I was thinking about ordering Staff friendly. Beer, the local bitter, was good. Cosy place, nice decore Main issue is that this even on a wet February, there was no room to sit, as group after group of soggy walkers arrived and found themselves standing”

“Very lovely pub & inn situated in a great location in the Dales. We actually got stranded here in a storm and the staff were very accommodating (though keep in mind rooms aren't always available! popular place!). Excellent place to spend an evening or night after a day's ramble or just for lunch after peeking around the viaduct.”
