A table overlooking the garden perhaps

Something a little quieter

A roaring fire perhaps

The best of both worlds, a few of the garden and a quiet corner

"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."

The Sawley Arms is set in stunning award winning extensive gardens individually designed and created by the proprietor over the last 39 years.

"Yorkshire TV presenter Richard Whiteley paid tribute to June's achievements over the years. A regular customer himself, Richard spoke affectionately of this renown establishment and its proprietor, which so many people from Yorkshire and beyond have come to know and love."
