Bolton Arms Downholme - A stone-built country pub with a garden, real ales, and home-cooked meals near Richmond

Located in the small village of Downholme, approximately 6.4 km west of Richmond, Bolton Arms Downholme offers three rooms: a Deluxe King Room with an ensuite shower, a Small Double Room with an ensuite, and a Large Double Room with an external private bathroom. Each room includes a flat-screen TV, tea/coffee facilities, and free Wi-Fi. The property features a fully stocked bar serving Timothy Taylors Landlord and Wensleydale Bitter on handpump, along with ten wines by the glass and bar snacks like crisps and pork scratchings. A separate restaurant serves home-cooked meals, including a Sunday lunch menu with options like beef, lamb, or pork accompanied by Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes. The beer garden provides views of Swaledale, and the conservatory dining room overlooks the dales. The Bolton Arms is just off the coast-to-coast walk at Marske, with historic castles and walking trails nearby.

Pros

The conservatory dining room and garden offer scenic views of Swaledale.

The bar serves Timothy Taylors Landlord and Wensleydale Bitter on handpump, along with ten wines by the glass.

Cons

“I recommend the Bolton Arms without hesitation; its quiet village setting near Richmond complements the exceptional hospitality. Expect comfortable, well-appointed rooms, and the home-cooked food-especially breakfast-is a highlight, along with the beer garden's views. It's a hidden gem worth discovering.”
