The New Inn - 3-Star Hotel in Pickering, England

The New Inn operates its own brewery, producing award-winning ales such as Cropton Classic bitter and Ruby ale. Guests can join brewery tours led by staff like Joel or Josh, which include beer samples and a gift pack with bottles and glassware. The pub hosts regular quiz nights, a Cropton Beer Festival, and offers darts, pool tables, and a beer garden.

The hotel offers a Cottage suite with private entrance, garden, and patio, plus an open-plan lounge and dining area with LCD TV. Other rooms include Double Rooms, Twin Rooms, Family Rooms, and a Deluxe Double Room, all with en suite bathrooms and wooden furnishings. Guests can also choose self-catering cottages with fully equipped kitchens and log burners.

The New Inn sits on the border of the North York Moors National Park, in the village of Cropton. The historic city of York is less than an hour by car, and the seaside towns of Scarborough and Whitby are about 20 miles away. Pickering Railway Station, with its steam trains, is within easy reach, and the A1 motorway is under an hour's drive.

The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a seasonally changing menu that uses locally sourced ingredients. Signature dishes include Cropton Stout Pie (made with the brewery's own stout) and The New Inn Sausage Ring (from a secret recipe). Kids' meals, wine and champagne, and generous portions are standard, with a separate bar area for dog owners.

The New Inn is pet-friendly, with designated outside spaces for dogs and a policy allowing dogs in the bar area. For families, the hotel provides Family Rooms and a self-catering cottage with its own garden, plus kids' meals and a relaxed check-in/check-out process.
