Re-opened with new tenants 20th June 2024. Opening and food times are as per pub website. Awaiting full survey.

The Craven is a pleasant white-washed Thwaites pub situated next to Stainforth Beck. Retaining a multi-roomed layout, there is a small tap room on the left as you enter, a wood-panelled lounge at the rear with video screens and a further snug with an interesting stained-glass window beyond the bar. The accommodation (six rooms) was refurbished in 2017/8. The Craven is also popular with walkers - it is close to Pen-y-Ghent, Catrigg Force, Stainforth Foss and Craven Lime Works, one of the largest industrial archeology sites in the Dales.

Note: Direct access to the camping/caravan site at Knight Stainforth Hall over the vary narrow arched bridge is on foot, by bicycle or in a small car only, larger vehicles especially camper vans and caravans must go via Settle.

Information for this venue is provided by the Keighley & Craven Branch of CAMRA
