Dozens of guests got trapped by heavy snow at the Tan Hill Inn, in the Yorkshire Dales , after going to see an Oasis tribute band on Friday Night .
Manager Nicola Townsend said a snow plough had managed to get through on Monday Morning .
Abandoned vehicles and fallen power cables had made it impossible to clear a way through earlier.
Speaking on ITV's This Morning , Ms Townsend said: " The Snow plough has managed to get through This Morning and Some People got in their cars and followed The Snow plough to try to get home. "
A spokesperson for North Yorkshire County Council said: " Our farming contractors have cleared The Snow and The Road is open to traffic. "
Guests at The Inn , which is 1,732ft (528m) above Sea Level , woke up to about 3ft (0. 9m) of snow on Saturday.
Ms Townsend said about 60 people, including some pre-booked guests, had spent the weekend at The Inn , though a few had been able to leave on Sunday Evening in 4X4s.
" People have been willing to share rooms, we've got people on sofas and on The Floor . "
She Said they had made The Most of the unplanned break and had remained positive throughout.
" All of our guests have just been wonderful, so we've been incredibly lucky. They've been very supportive, understanding and patient. "
She Said customers had helped out with washing up, clearing tables and collecting glasses and The Oasis tribute band had been getting their guitars out.
" Everyone's been joining in and singing along, " She Said .
" It has just been like a get-together with Good Friends , we have discussed having a reunion next year. "
One of those who had been stuck was Martin Overton.
He Said they had been well looked after and made new friends.
" There's been instruments and games and in many way it has been a unique and enjoyable weekend, but I think We Are all ready to Go Home now. "
