Our favourite rooms
There might not be many to pick from, but each of the Penny Bun’s five contemporary rooms are warmed with their own personalised, homespun touches from local makers. The inn’s original beamed ceilings, unearthed during restoration, are at their most striking in the Large Bedroom 1. Plus, there’s a freestanding tub at the base of the king-size bed, for romantic rendezvous.
Packing tips
You’ll be glad to have a water backpack during days yomping in the Dales.
Also
The hotel’s surrounding conservation project, Denton Reserve, is still in the works, but its 2,500 acres should be ready for your exploring by early 2025.
Children

Sustainability efforts
A care for the environment is at the Penny Bun’s core, and everything that you see (including the hotel itself) has been repurposed or sourced from local artisans – even the restaurant tables were made from recycled wool. All energy is solar powered and sensors help limit light pollution, single-use plastic is banned, bathrooms have B Corp-certified bath products and the restaurant sources all its produce locally. The hotel is also set on the Denton Reserve, which is being developed with the aim of improving sustainable food production, cutting carbon emissions and rewilding the region.
