Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Angel Inn in Hetton is one of the Yorkshire Dales' most celebrated gourmet-dining destinations, and the accommodation is pretty snazzy too – four contemporary bedrooms adjacent to the inn, and a barn conversion across the road which goes for a handsome French country style in its two studios and three suites.
You pay your money, you take your choice – polished beams, an antique Victorian bed and a rustic-chic air in the Rylstone Suite, for example, or a grown-up, white-is-all-right designer suite with patio doors that open on to the garden. Attention to detail is spot-on too, from iPod docks in the rooms to fresh milk and lemons in the fridge. All the while, you're mere steps away from the the inn's gastropub, which is the Yorkshire Dales' original and perhaps best.
Rested and fed, the Dales awaits the next day. You're in the heart of a small hamlet, around six miles from Skipton and its castle, and not far from good walking country around Grassington. There’s no question that the Angel makes a perfect base from which to explore. Return to the inn in the evening for a spot of well-earned relaxation in its comfortable and unpretentious guest rooms, and sample something new from its celebrated menu.
