The Hildyard Arms

I love finding proper old pubs, I live a walk of an evening when I get parked up and was pleasantly surprised to find it wasn’t just a boutiquey type eat only establishment. I’ll be back, thanks for the hospitality and also to the chap with the cocker in the corner for attentioning my empty glass - see you soon 🍺🍺

Camped in the garden here for free as a Coast To Coast hiker (perhaps 50 mins walk beyond Richmond centre, right on the trail). The landlady and landlord were very friendly as were other punters in the pub. There's a shower room and toilet around the back which was very nice. They weren't serving food the evening I was there but they set us up with the local takeaway and let us use their dining area, cutlery etc. and we ate like kings.

I spent the first night out camping, which is free. I arrived after the pub was closed and decided to setup camp in the back. I took a day break here on my coast to coast. As I awoke the next morning it was down pouring. The Owner came to check on me multiple times and was extremely kind and welcoming showing me around the place. I spent my last night in the hut and it was absolutely wonderful and well worth it! Making yourself a hot cup of tea, charging your devices and a warm clean bed is all ones needs. The huts are cozy and well kept and the locals at the pub were friendly. Plus there's a shop to restock less than 5 minutes up the road

After reading a review on this place I decided to push on from Richmond and camp here. As soon as I arrived I was greeted by a member of staff who quickly showed my round the site and facilities. Once I was pitched and showered I popped into the pub for a drink where I was greeted by all the locals who are so friendly, camping was free with the use of the bar which was an added bonus.

My wife and I visited from Bedfordshire to attend a friend's 80th birthday party, which the Hildyard Arms also hosted. Good beer, good food and we were made very welcome. We stayed in a cabin which was clean, tidy and comfortable. The price was very reasonable. Whenever I overnight, I always look forward to a good cooked breakfast and I was not disappointed. We are planning to visit again in the not too distant future.

One of the best places I stayed while doing the coast to coast walk, with camping in the back beer garden. The pub is right on the trail so you can't miss it.The staff are amazingly helpful. I arrived late and missed the food, but they gave me a number for a local takeaway great facilities and very friendly pub
