GENERAL MANAGER – THE TEMPEST ARMS
Where character meets countryside charm...
Are you ready to take the reins of a truly iconic inn in one of the most beautiful corners of the UK?
Set in the breathtaking Yorkshire countryside, on the edge of the Dales and near the historic market town of Skipton, The Tempest Arms is a 17th-century gem. Recently refurbished with a rustic-luxe farmhouse feel, it’s a place where roaring fires, hearty food, and a warm welcome are just the beginning. With 21 letting rooms and suites, a very busy function room, cosy private dining, and a stunning lantern-lit courtyard garden – this is more than a pub... it’s an experience.
The Tempest Arms hasrecently won the IDO Wedding Awards 2025 for "Best Group Venue in Yorkshire". This award was based on reviews from real brides and is a testament to the venue's ability to host memorable wedding days. Which has helped us grow to around 20-30 weddings per year.
