Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, meeting friends or simply looking for something different to do, it combines great hospitality with one of Yorkshire's most iconic heritage attractions."
Hartley also emphasizes the added value of the Day Rover ticket, stating, "The fact that every booking also includes unlimited train travel for the day means visitors can really make the most of their time in the valley."
