The Star Inn

The personal touch

You know you’ve landed somewhere special when you spot the thatch on the long, low roof of the smartly whitewashed Star at Harome, a 15th century pub perched on the edge of the North Yorks Moors. Local lad Andrew Pern took the reins in 1996, won the first Michelin star for Yorkshire and has been delighting us ever since. Walk into the beautiful beamed bar, all stone flags, wonky walls, open fires and burnished old oak furniture and the sat-back, chatty service only adds to the magic of the place. Duck your head if you’re going through to the charmingly cluttered dining room – but no such moves are required if you’re heading for the elegant eaterie at the far end, with its grey tweed banquettes, sleek surfaces and porthole windows. A smart terraced garden out back beckons on warm days – it’s a sun trap and a very popular place to be. If you’re lucky you might spot the chefs picking leaves for your supper in the immaculate cottage garden beyond.

The Star Inn

Do not disturb

The Star’s nine fabulous bedrooms are a short stroll across the lane from the pub in a stunning old stone barn; expect stone flags, monumental beams and roaring fires – and that’s just the resident’s sitting room and bar. The rooms are completely unique – all different and many of them quirky; one of them has a rope-slung bed, another has its own piano - and Room 5 comes complete with a snooker table!  But what they all have in common is fat mattresses, sumptuous linen and spotless, modern bathrooms – some have fabulous spa baths sunk into entirely wood-clad spaces that feel more like saunas. They’re rooms you won’t want to leave if it wasn’t for the wonderfully cosy ground floor lounge; after a fabulous breakfast (perhaps truffled mushrooms on toast and home made pastries?) a bracing stroll and a spot of retail therapy in the pretty market town of Helmsley (just a 10 minute drive away), kick back in front of the wood stove in a soft leather armchair and indulge in a complementary afternoon tea before strolling back across the lane for an unforgettable dinner.  
 

Creature comforts

Spa baths; Molton Brown products; Fresh milk in flasks each day; Home-made shortbread Star; Hot water bottle; 
‘emergency’ toiletries available; Complimentary ‘nibbles’ in the afternoons: hot drinks, cheese & biscuits, cakes, sweet biscuits and crisps; Recipe books and glossy mags in bedrooms 
 

Gadgets 

Not really – in fact you can’t get WiFi in some of the rooms, though you can in the residents bar and wheelhouse.
Flat screen TV ; Small selection of DVDs 
 

What’s for Breakfast?

Full Yorkshire (the works!); Home-made pastries; Bacon butty; Eggy bread; Truffled mushrooms on toast; Rollmop herrings; Porridge ‘n’ whisky; Dippy eggs with soldiers; Kippers; Omelette: Wensleydale, tomato, home cooked ham; Fresh fruit salad
 

What’s the damage?

9 Doubles: £170 per room per night with breakfast (for the rope-slung bedroom) to £260 per room per night (for the ground floor hunting themed room in the former stables)

The Star Inn

Mastering the menu

Andrew's 'modern Yorkshire' style of cooking places great emphasis on regional and seasonal ingredients and is firmly rooted in North Yorkshire, as indeed is Andrew himself, having grown up on a farm in the Esk Valley near Whitby surrounded by game and with North Sea fish virtually on his doorstep. Andrew’s head chef Steve Smith has been at his side for seven years and you can’t put a greaseproof paper between them. The menu reflects not only their interests but the terroir; the emphasis is on rustic but it’s so much more than that. Ravioli of hickory-smoked Whitby crab with saffron braised fennel, bouillabaisse sauce and wild garlic pesto is a cracking starter and epitomises their style, and presentation is exquisite. Follow up with Rossini of Marwood’s reared fillet of beef with roast foie gras, oxtail fritter and pickled ox tongue and you get the full impact of a Michelin star. But you can also sit in a corner and order a sandwich – Cropton Two Chefs Dale End Cheddar rarebit with Henderson’s Relish and sweet onion marmalade goes down a treat with a pint of Boltmaker. That’s one of the complete joys of this place – indulge in the tasting menu in the bar or a sarnie in the posh dining room – nobody’s going to bat an eyelid. 
 

On the menu 

Haslet of Yorkshire reared game, pickled damson, cinnamon, ginger, roast chestnut brioche
Dressed white North Sea crab, crushed hazelnut and fennel salad, lemon verbena mayonnaise, prawn crackers
Two chefs’ ale-braised ox cheek, pan-fried Foie Gras ‘toad in the hole’, heritage carrots, ox tongue lemon thyme gravy
Harome shot Roe deer ‘cottage pie’, Blue Wensleydale mash, juniper-buttered curly kale 
Corned beef terrine, brown ale jelly, ‘duck egg’ salad cream, home-made pickles
Steamed fig roly poly pudding, forgotten autumn fruits with hot Sarsaparilla, citrus custard
 

Sunday Roasts 

On Sunday they serve the full a la carte plus two roasts – but there’s no Market Menu (available Monday to Saturday; two courses for 20, 3 for 25 quid)
 

Time to Eat 

Breakfast: 8am - 10am
Lunch: 12 noon - 2pm (6pm Sunday)
Dinner: 6.15pm-9.30pm (no food Sunday evening)
 

Local, local, local

The Great Yorkshire Brewery in Cropton www.croptonbrewery.com
Beef comes from farmers in the village, the Marwoods. 
Game comes from local estates and the Rievaulx and Harome shoots 
Fish from Hodgsons in Hartlepool www.hodgsonfish.co.uk
Cheese from Botton Creamery and Shepherd’s Purse (the cheese board is entirely Yorkshire!) 
Veg & leaves from their own cottage garden and foraged produce from the local hedgerows
 

Behind the bar 

Timothy Taylor Boltmaker and Black Sheep Bitter are on offer – but you’ve got to try a pint of Two Chefs, brewed specially for Andrew and his former head chef James Mackenzie from the Pipe & Glass by the Cropton Brewery; it’s flavoured with Yorkshire honey and a hint lemon thyme and is quite extraordinary. Andrew is very pleased to offer Ridgeview English Sparkling Wine from the South Downs along with a ‘seriously informed selection’ of wines (according to Hugh Johnson, OBE) – it’s certainly an attractive list and not over-scary, with many by the glass. 
 

Time at the bar

11.30am - 3pm, 6pm – 11pm (12 noon - 11pm Sunday). Closed Monday lunchtimes

WALKING

www.yorkshire.com

www.northyorkmoors.org.uk
It’s hard to beat North Yorkshire for walking, of course, and there are a number of downloadable local walks on the Star’s website (thestaratharome.co.uk).You’ll also find several long-distance walks nearby: the Helmsley to Rievaulx Abbey section of The Cleveland Way is a couple of miles away, the Helmsley to Hutton-le-Hole section of the Inn Way passes Harome, and the Ebor Way begins at Helmsley.

 

CYCLING

www.forestry.gov.uk/dalbyforest
www.dalbybikebarn.co.uk 

Dalby Forest - there is plenty of variety of trails for cyclists, whether you’re looking for a challenge or something a little more sedate. Comprising 8,000 acres of a working forest, north of Thornton-le-Dale, Dalby offers waymarked walking and cycling trails for all abilities, and is considered one of the finest trail networks in the UK. The southern part of the forest is a ‘rigg and dale’ landscape, divided by a number of valleys, while its northern reaches sit on the upland plateau. Wheelchairs and electric buggies can be hired, and bikes are available to hire from the Bike Barn or Purple Mountain. Follow the signs rather than your Sat Nav. You can ride in the grounds and parkland of Duncombe Park and there are quiet lanes round Harome – again, downloadable routes can be found on the Star’s website.

Ampleforth Abbey has been home to a Community of Bendictine monks since 1802 and the Abbey Church is still the centre of monastic life – it’s a fascinating and beautiful place to spend a couple of hours. The monks have been making cider for centuries – take the tour then hit the shop!

BOOKINGS AND VOUCHERS

Our site is an online platform that allows you to search for and book accommodation. We are acting as disclosed agent for the relevant inns featured on our site. This means that any booking or contractual arrangement you make with any entity featured on our site is made with that entity, and not with us. By entering information into the booking software, you authorise us to pass on all relevant information to those entities with whom you are seeking to make a reservation, and to control and/or process such data in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. In order to make a booking you are required to provide credit card details. We will enable the relevant inn to gain access to the credit card details via the site in the event of any cancellation and a cancellation charge is due. By making a booking you are expressly authorising access to and use of such data and for the relevant inn to deduct the cancellation charges notified to you in the event of a cancellation.

Bookings will be subject to the terms and conditions of the individual entity with whom you contract, including any cancellation polices they may apply. It is your responsibility to check the terms of such entities before you enter your contract with them. If you wish to cancel a booking, you must cancel using the site unless exceptional circumstances do not permit you to gain access to the site, in which case you should liaise directly with the inn concerned. In either case you may be liable for cancellation charges. Whenever your booking is cancelled whether directly or via the site, it is your responsibility to check your account with HIP to confirm the booking has been cancelled and to be notified of any relevant charges (and to pay them). If you do not attend the inn on the dates booked, this will be treated as a cancellation by the relevant inn on the applicable terms. The accommodation provider’s cancellation policy may continue to apply after your arrival at your inn. In the event that you decide to shorten the duration of your stay, such a request will be dealt with at the discretion of the accommodation provider, and not by us in our capacity as the booking agent. If you amend your booking in this way there may be a cancellation fee levied by the accommodation provider and you should refer to the provider’s cancellation policy for more details. Where the accommodation provider requires a minimum stay for rooms attracting a certain price, this will be clearly stated on our site prior to booking.

We are not responsible for inaccuracies in the booking process; you must check carefully the agreed dates and prices before completing your booking. In particular, you are advised to check the availability of any offers, promotional codes, or the acceptance of gift vouchers before completing the booking, as well as whether any special requirements you may have can be met. Please note that Inn Places Special Gifts may not be available at all the inns where special promotions are being run, and such promotions may have additional terms and conditions applicable.

Although we gather credit card information to secure the booking, the booking will be with the relevant inn to whom, by virtue of you starting the booking process you authorise us to transmit the credit card information.

To confirm a booking, you must be authorised to make the booking by all the persons named on the booking and their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making the booking, you are confirming that all persons named on the booking accept the terms and that you will inform the other persons named on the booking of the confirmation details and any other appropriate information. By making the booking you also become responsible for making all payments due under the booking.

The display of accommodation for hire on the site is an invitation to treat only.

By completing and submitting the booking form you are making an offer to book temporary accommodation room nights, which if accepted by accommodation providers, will result in a binding contract made between you and the accommodation provider.

Completing the booking process online does not constitute acceptance of your offer. We will send you an email confirmation following your booking on behalf of the accommodation provider confirming acceptance of your offer and forming the legally binding contract subject to any applicable terms and conditions.

Because the contract for your accommodation is between you and the relevant inn, any queries or concerns should be addressed to them. If you have a problem during your visit, this must be reported to the inn immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the inn to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to from the inn may be reduced or you may not receive any at all depending upon the circumstances. If you wish to complain when you return home, you should address your complaint to the inn concerned.
