Location:
The Craven Heifer is located in the pretty village of Stainforth which is in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, east of the River Ribble. The village is nestled under Stainforth Scar and is 2.5 miles north of the historic market town of Settle. At the heart of the Yorkshire Three Peaks, this is a perfect destination for hiking, cycling and other outdoor pursuits. Local attractions include Stainforth Force, a waterfall popular in the autumn for its migration of wild salmon, and Catterick Force, magical waterfall and pool that is perfect for wild swimming. Furthermore, the Pennine Bridleway runs through the village.
Stainforth lies just off the B6479 which links to the A65 which provides connections to Kendal to the north-west and Skipton and Lancashire to the south.
Property:
The Craven Heifer holds an end-terrace position and is set over two storeys. It has whitewashed elevations under a pitched slate roof. The public house dates from the 19th century and has a multi-room layout with much character and charm. There are stained glass windows to the front of the building and pictures of The Craven Heifer Cow adorning its walls. In addition, the property has six en suite letting rooms and an owners’ flat with two bedrooms (one of which is currently used as an office). The property briefly comprises:
Trade Areas:
Entrance hallway with flagstone flooring. To the left is a dining area with LTV flooring, a stone fireplace, a hatch to the bar and loose dining seating for 14. An additional dining room/ breakfast room has flagstone flooring, a brick fireplace with log burner, access to the trade patio, a breakfast station and seating for 20. There is a prep area offset.
Main bar, again with flagstone flooring, a stone feature fireplace, and perimeter and loose seating for 40. The main bar also includes a raised snug area with carpet flooring and a brick constructed, wood topped bar servery with well-equipped back bar. Ladies' and gentlemen's toilets off the main bar.
The trade kitchen is a good size. It has Altro nonslip flooring and is fully equipped with catering appliances. There is access to the rear garden from the kitchen.
The basement cellar is accessed via a hatch behind the bar and has a beer drop.

The Craven Heifer is a traditional country pub offering classic food and drink in a cosy environment in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales. It benefits from high levels of footfall thanks to the walkers and tourists who visit the area. There are also many holiday homes and holiday parks/ campsites in the vicinity.
It is our opinion that this opportunity would suit an experienced chef or a family team who wish to live in a spectacular location and aspire to the perfect work/ life balance. Alternatively, the property may suit change of use to a C3 dwellinghouse, to multiple cottages or to one large family home, subject to the relevant planning permissions.
