Celebrating 40 years of excellence
The Sawley Arms restaurant and holiday cottages sits on the eastern edge of the Nidderdale area of outstanding natural beauty in the centre of the village of Sawley, close to Ripon, Harrogate and Pateley Bridge and closer still to Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal water gardens.
A perfect base for visiting Fountains Abbey, Brimham Rocks, Pateley Bridge, Ripon, Harrogate and Nidderdale.
Approaching the 41st year under the management of its owner Mrs June Hawes together with Robin her son and Nicky her daughter in law wish you a very warm welcome. Relax step back in time and enjoy the nostalgia of our famous restaurant and cottages.
Treat yourself to the fine food and hospitality enjoyed by so many over the years including the man who created James Herriot "the worlds favourite vet" namely Mr Alf Wight OBE and England's most famous fast bowler; Fred Trueman OBE of course.

"Sitting in the Sawley Arms by the roaring fire with a glass of wine and the company of owner Mrs. Hawes ... feels more like being a guest in her home than visiting a pub. Wonderful food and a great atmosphere, all just a stone’s throw from stunning Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal."
