The Wheatsheaf Inn

We booked a family room at the Wheatsheaf last Friday as we planned to do the waterfall trail and wanted to make an early start of it on the Saturday. We were happy with our room & enjoyed a nice meal in the dinning area, up to this point all of the staff were lovely & helpful. When we were initially showed to our room we were advised that a band would be playing later that night but it was far from our room and if the noise got too much to let them know and they would turn the volume down. This was the first time that we had been notified that a band was due to play, I had booked the room directly from the Wheatsheaf website which also included notifying them that a child would be staying with us, there was no indication that any performances were taking place, I received several emails from the Wheatsheaf between the time of our booking & arrival at no point was it communicated to us that a band would be playing. The Wheatsheaf has previously stated that it was posted on social media in regards to the band playing, however we did not know that it is prerequisite to check all social media before making a booking, we have never had to do this with any other bookings, we are not from the area so do not follow the Wheatsheaf on any social media platforms. The music started at 8pm and was a rock band, the volume was very loud and a major issue was the vibrations that could be felt through our room, our main concern was for our 3 year old who was very tired after a day at the Yorkshire Show, unsurprisingly it was very difficult to get him settled. As advised by the staff member who showed us our room we reported this to the manager who was very hostile & unsympathetic, he stated that it is a pub & therefore this noise is to be expected. What the manger seems unable to comprehend is there is a huge difference between normal pub noise & a rock band performance, we have stayed at other pubs & are very much aware of the noise level & have no issue with the normal level of noise that is expected at pub. This is evident from the fact that once the band had finished playing we were able to relax & have a comfortable nights sleep. Furthermore we have no issue with bands playing at the Wheatsheaf, what we have taken issue with is the fact that the Wheatsheaf did not give us prior warning that a rock band would be playing so that we could make an informed decision as to if this is the right place to for us to stay & the hostile unsympathetic response that we received from the manager, it made for a very unwelcome stay to the point where we did not feel comfortable having our included breakfast the following morning & sourced it elsewhere, from a lovely friendly local cafe. I have no expectation of a resolution following this review as the manager cannot seem to grasp that we are not criticizing a working pub or the fact that a band was playing but we are critical of the lack of communication & the inhospitable attitude directed to us when we were just concerne

We stayed for one night, June 2025, I wish it had been longer! From start to finish, everything about our stay was lovely. Picturesque building in a beautiful setting. Plenty of room in the private car-park. The staff could not have been friendlier. We ate an evening meal in the pub and it was really lovely. Plenty of choice on the menu, reasonably priced and the food was excellent. Our room was spacious and looked as if it had been recently decorated. Comfortable bed, well-appointed bathroom, plenty of amenities. All you would expect from a really good hotel, let alone a country pub. Breakfast was lovely - well cooked, beautifully presented and ample quantities. I can't recommend The Wheatsheaf highly enough! Thank you!

Lovely friendly staff, perfect for what we needed in central ingleton. Decor a bit tired and damp in the room but didn’t affect our stay

Fabulous stay Fabulous hotel made to feel welcome as soon as we entered the bar on a busy Sunday lunchtime! The landlord let us check in early the room overlooked the bar garden and nice rural views! Lovely really pub with a selection of real ales! Will be return in the near future! Ingelton is a pretty place. The breakfast is delicious good quality ingredients. Ideal for families.

Good accomodation for the price

Visit Ingleton often, but first time staying here, lovely clean rooms, friendly staff and really good breakfast in the morning Stayed with my daughters and granddaughter, we all really enjoyed our stay here, would definitely recommend it
