Lovely break away

Cashed in some one key points for night away . Took the scenic route from Gateshead and visited Richmond , Aysgarth Falls , Grassington and Thirsk on the way . Had a couple of beers in the beer garden , freshened up then a gorgeous meal in the orangery. So glad we had booked as they were turning people away ! The staff were excellent- friendly , courteous and attentive. Lovely relaxing night away , helped by the English heatwave .

This hotel was perfect for our trip to Ampleforth. The room was perfect and the staff were amazing. We had a wonderful evening meal in the restaurant and the bar area is very pleasant with many friendly locals. The breakfast was to dye for. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay

A lovely old rural pub & guesthouse with friendly staff & comfortable rooms & good amenities with a tasty little box of welcoming chocolates. The pub offered a lovely menu of home cooked food (recommend the pie) & served a nice breakfast as well. An enjoyable stay all round.

Somewhere I keep going back to

Been here 3/4 times, and looking forward to next stay. Food is really good. Service is excellent. Only issue this time was someone clearly had too much to drink in the village and people were shouting in the early hours of the morning. This woke me and i struggled to get back to sleep, but nothing to do with the inn.

Absolutely excellent

Second time we've stayed and can't wait to go back. The food here is delicious. I cannot recommend it enough. We stayed in the superior suite again and it was delightful. Such a comfy bed to.sleep onand just a lovely stay in general. Staff were excellent and extremely friendly. Location is lovely and very quiet, but worth the journey. You need to stay here and eat here

8/10 Very good

Quite location, very helpful staff, clean and newly refurbished rooms. Just a little noise from room upstairs.
Kenneth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

From first sight of this very pretty hotel with its beautiful hanging baskets and very attractive outside terrace to the very warm welcome and check in I knew we’d made a good choice. Such a peaceful location, very nicely appointed bedrooms, great menu choice in the evening and at breakfast - all was very very good. Of course a hotel cannot be successful simply by nature of its nicely appointed public areas - it needs great staff - and everyone we met during our two night stay was without exception a credit to the business. We hope to return soon.
