Euan, Susan, and the team have been welcoming guests to Burneston for years. This is no chain hotel — just honest hospitality, home-cooked food, and a genuine care for every guest who walks through the door.
The Woodman Inn has stood at the centre of Burneston village life since the 1700s — originally serving travellers on the old coaching routes that cut through the North Yorkshire countryside. Long before the A1 existed, weary horses were rested here, coaches were changed, and locals gathered around the same hearth that still warms the bar today.
Today, Euan and Susan Cameron carry that same tradition forward — welcoming guests from across the country with fresh, home-cooked food, comfortable en-suite rooms, and the kind of unhurried hospitality that Yorkshire has always done best. Whether you are stopping off the A1 for the night or settling in for a proper Yorkshire break, this is a place where you will always feel at home. As a family-run hotel near Bedale, North Yorkshire, we pride ourselves on making every guest feel genuinely at home.
With 14 individually decorated en-suite bedrooms — including a spacious 2-bedroom family suite — The Woodman Inn offers some of the most comfortable rooms near Bedale. Each room blends modern amenities with the warmth of a genuine 18th-century inn: think proper beds, good showers, and a real night’s sleep before a day in the Dales.
Our kitchen is built around the best produce North Yorkshire has to offer. Daily blackboard specials sit alongside a full à la carte menu, with locally caught seafood as a house speciality. Every steak on the menu comes from Forbes Raeburn of Huntly — an award-winning Aberdeenshire butcher whose beef speaks for itself. Everything is cooked fresh to order, every time.
Burneston sits just minutes from Bedale Golf Club — one of North Yorkshire’s finest parkland courses and the self-described “Golfing Gateway to the Dales.” We put together tailored golf break packages to suit any group: arrange your rounds, return to a warm room, and let us take care of dinner. Bespoke packages available for societies and groups of all sizes.
