Pignut and The Hare★★★★★
"A charming destination full of character."
Overview
Dating back to the 12th century, this charming former village pub is full of character and is located in the unspoilt setting of Scawton. Four stunning bedrooms make the most of the stone walls and natural materials, and have been thoughtfully equipped with some of the more modern conveniences you would expect nowadays. The restaurant itself impresses, serving a modern cuisine and experience in a setting which embodies the age and charm of the building. The welcome is always warm and personalised and guests leave feeling they have found a 'hidden gem'.
