The Angel at Hetton

Michelin-starred restaurant with rooms in the Yorkshire Dales

The Angel at Hetton is a hospitality establishment located in Hetton, a small and peaceful hamlet about six miles from the historic market town of Skipton, within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It combines a restaurant led by chef Michael Wignall with sixteen individually designed rooms. Since opening in 2018, the establishment has earned a Michelin star and five AA Rosettes, according to its own presentation.

Michael Wignall's cuisine

The culinary offering is led by Michael Wignall and his team. The menus are built around precision, seasonality and a search for the very best ingredients, according to the restaurant's own description. The wine list has been selected to pair both celebrated vineyards and lesser-known references from various origins.

Lunch and dinner menus

The dining offering is organised into multi-course menus. The lunch service features a five-course tasting menu, an 8 Year Celebration menu, a Taste of the Season menu and a Sunday lunch. At dinner, a five-course tasting menu and a ten-course tasting menu are offered.

Accommodation

The establishment has sixteen individually designed rooms and suites. Their interiors, described as calm and minimalist, incorporate natural wools, warm woods and stone textures that reflect the Yorkshire Dales landscape. Two of the rooms are dog-friendly, and dogs are also welcome in the bar area; a charge of £25 per night applies for dogs staying in the designated rooms. Children of all ages are welcome.

Setting and location

The establishment is set among rolling hills, dry-stone walls and wide open skies of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, with views towards Rylstone Fell. Hetton is six miles from Skipton, making it possible to combine a visit to the historic town with walks in the surrounding countryside. The region, the website notes, is a county steeped in history and culture, linked to the Brontë sisters.

Other services

The website mentions the hosting of private events, the sale of gift cards and the option to book last-minute stays through packages. It also includes a latest section with content about the kitchen, the Yorkshire Dales and the people behind the establishment, as well as the publication of Michael Wignall's first book.
