A Wensleydale village pub that appeared on Channel 4’s Four in a Bed has become one of the Yorkshire Dales’ most praised rural stays.

Redmire Village Pub, formerly The Bolton Arms, sits on Hargill Lane in Redmire, a small village close to Bolton Castle, Penn Hill and Aysgarth Falls.

The pub has been described as a “quintessential Yorkshire Dales local since 1750” and says it has welcomed the muddy boots of villagers, walkers, farmers and gamekeepers, as well as the muddy paws of their dogs, for generations.

But it has also gained a more recent claim to fame after appearing on Channel 4’s Four in a Bed.

The pub’s own website now highlights the TV connection, inviting guests to book the rooms used by contestants Tabitha and Steve, Dom and Anna, and Hollie and Ben.

The Channel 4 episode, which aired in September 2025, saw hosts Kerrie and Vickie welcome fellow B&B owners to the North Yorkshire countryside pub.

The pub currently holds a 4.7-star rating on TripAdvisor and has also received a Travellers’ Choice award for 2025.

Reviewers regularly describe it as “charming”, “adorable”, “welcoming” and “well worth a visit”.

One recent guest called it a “charming country pub” in a small Wensleydale village, saying the bar staff were welcoming and the pub appeared to be the focal point of the village.

Another described it as “one of the most enjoyable stays” they had in Yorkshire, praising the dog-friendly rooms, comfortable accommodation, home-cooked food and peaceful atmosphere.

The pub’s setting is a major part of its appeal.

Redmire is described by the pub as a "hidden rural gem" in the shadow of Bolton Castle and Penn Hill, within easy reach of Aysgarth Falls, Redmire Force and St Mary’s Church.

That makes it a popular base for walkers, cyclists, day-trippers and people exploring the wider Wensleydale area.

Several visitors say the pub works well as a stop after a day out in the Dales.

They praised the Sunday lunch as “absolutely delicious”, singling out the "tender roast beef", "excellent nut roast", roast potatoes and vegetables.

Another visitor described it as a “wonderful gem of a find”, praising the welcome, drinks and food.

The pub says it focuses on traditional pub food sourced from the Dales and surrounding regions, with food curated through local food hero partners.

It also serves local cask ales from breweries including Wensleydale Brewery, Yorkshire Dales Brewing, Black Sheep, Pennine Brewery and Theakston, alongside cider, lager, wines and spirits.

The pub also keeps a village tradition alive on Wednesdays, when Ramsay’s Fish and Chip Van stops at the pub.

Redmire Village Pub also offers accommodation, with rooms that have become part of the Four in a Bed story.

The television link gives guests the chance to stay somewhere they may have seen on screen, while the pub’s older history gives it a sense of continuity that goes well beyond its recent Channel 4 appearance.
