The ultimate combination of great beer, good cheer, hearty food and cosy country accommodation in a delightful Inn. This is probably one of the best real ale pubs in the country. Marton Arms Hotel is perfectly placed to make the most of both the Yorkshire Dales and the English Lake District. Dating back to the 13th century, the Marton Arms is tucked anonymously off the main A65 along the old Skipton to Kendal turnpike road and nestles beneath imposing Ingleborough Peak. Together with historic St. Oswald's Church, they form the charming hamlet of Thornton-in-Lonsdale, where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was once married.

It's not hard to imagine that the inspiration for many a Sherlock Holmes adventure was conceived as Sir Arthur sat by the Inn's open fire, glass in hand.
