We stayed in the honeymoon suit and it was excellent, fabulous views from the extra large window seat, which we loved and spent most of our time sitting in when in the room, definitely worth the additional extra cost. The evening meal in the restaurant was exceptional too. I would definitely recommend.

The room was wonderful & exceptionally clean. The bathroom was small but well thought out, again, exceptionally clean. Air conditioning in the room which was a definite added bonus following a long walk! Coffee machine with complimentary tea, coffee & hot chocolate, and proper milk too! Very lovely touch. The staff were very friendly & were able to tell us about the history of the building along with ideas for walks in the area. We chose to walk into Middleham for the evening, around a 50 minute walk. It was a straightforward walk there, pretty much all downhill, but getting back was a little trickier - we didn't fancy walking, Uber said they were available but weren't! We have a lovely local to thank for the lift back.so.if you choose to walk, expect to have to walk back or I believe there are local taxis that would need pre booking - it's all in the guest information in the room. Breakfast was amazing, the restaurant is beautiful, clean, wonderful staff & a great ambience. The grounds are fantastic, a lovely pond to sit by, walks around the area & Forbidden Corner should you chose to visit. All the grounds are very well maintained, clean & tidy, it was so peaceful & relaxing. Would definitely recommend & perhaps we'll be lucky enough to stay again

Fantastic location .with rooms and cottages available. The forbidden corner and restaurants.

On arrival could have done with better signage as to where to park as we ended up parking at Forbidden Corner. Also not easy to find Reception and when we did find there was no-one there for 10 mins. Room nice, dressing gown and slippers nice touch. Had evening meal in the bar which was ok and staff were attentive. Meals on the Sunday finished at 5 and bar closed which was inconvenient. We were informed no staff on site again until Wed. We couldn’t boil kettle Mon morning as electric went off but luckily we finally managed to find a housekeeper who sorted the electrics and brought us some fresh milk (milk had gone off). So all in all a mixed bag really hence only an average score.

This hotel was really nice. From minite we arrived staff were great. The room was lovely, had everything that we needed and was very quiet during the night. Food in the restaurant was to die for, we had booked our anniversary meal and it did not disappoint. They even dressed the table in recognition of it being our anniversary with a bottle of processco. Breakfast next mornkng was very nice too, top quality ingredients and proper juices. Lovely that it is on the same grounds of forbidden corner, we visited there before leaving. Would definitely recommend and return

Lovely room, views spectacular, booked for Sat and Sun 2 nights Bed & Breakfast however was informed only on check in that there was no breakfast Monday morning as they are closed, dissapointed on Sunday to find all options for food on site where also closed by 6pm, there are pubs about 3 mile away in Middleham but after a couple of drinks during the day no option to drive there so left feeling somewhat hungry until next day to find somewhere for breakfast after checking out. Maybe expedia should point this out when booking, not sure if booking direct you are informed of the closing times etc.

Fantastic location, particularly if you have dogs. Room was great, restaurant was perfect and staff were really helpful.

Very well maintained rooms. Great dinning too.

The reception staff were really welcoming, the room was clean, comfortable and quiet. It is a well presented hotel and in nice surroundings and location. Breakfast was really nice and good quality. My only criticism was in the evening in the bar the staff were at times not as responsive as they could be such as bringing condiments and taking time to serve on the bar/getting orders wrong. It didn't effect the overall stay and the food quality was brilliant. I would definitely return.

It was a last minute trip and it surprised us massively, beautiful estate, fantastic food and comfortable accommodation!

Everything done to a very high standard. Wonderful setting and food quality 2nd to none

Not easy to find if you follow SatNav. Better to follow directions provided. Very pleasant situation in beautiful countryside. Staff were great, Room was good and reasonably comfortable but we fail to see how it qualified to be DeLux. Just little things would make a huge difference, For instance TV was mounted too high on the wall and therefore not comfortable to watch. Lighting was gloomy. Shower needed a grab rail being an over bath arrangement. Food was a bit of a let down, I started with scallops which were accompanied by a sauce which certainly didn't compliment them I followed this up with Halibut which was excellent. My wife had lamb which again was accompanied by a dominating sauce which if any thing didn't compliment the dish. Overall we had a pleasant couple of days away in superb surroundings. Would we go again possibly not.

Very pleasant and peaceful place the staff were excellent and very helpful the breakfast and evening meal were very good we will return again

Beautiful location, lovely room and very friendly staff.
