Richard III Hotel

Middleham is a beautiful place to stay and to enjoy walking and a bit of wild swimming. The place oozes character. Richard III boasts age and character, so don’t stay here if you want modern. No breakfast included which we hadn’t checked, but there is a lovely tearoom but 2minutes walk away, racing stables close by so plenty of thoroughbreds trotting through the centre. I found the place delightful.

The only good thing about Richard 111 hotel were the staff, But the room we had was not very clean, and urgently in need of some maintenance work, and judging from what we saw the rest of the upstairs could as well, In the end we didn’t stay the night ,we took are bags back to the car and drove home! .

I love the friendliness of Kelly and her team

We had a racing break their it was vey good and clean the only negative was the evening meal finished at 7 we were 2 late. And no breakfast . We could only have 1 coffee each as their was no coffee sachets and milk cartains. When the bar closed

Friendly staff, both food & refreshments was extremely good. Great location & already looking to return..

Ideal hotel/ pub location in a beautiful location

Although breakfast was mentioned on their site, there was no breakfast. I asked the staff why, when it was on their site, they stated that the new owners did not include breakfast, the staff were a bit embarrassed although they were very good. I did say that it would be better if the hotel could recommend places to eat

We were hesitant to book over a weekend but were assured by the 11pm closing time that it wouldn't be too much of an issue; that wasn't the case. When we checked into the 'cosy country pub' we soon learned that the closing times listed online were not correct. We were told we were to pay when we check out, and were shown up to our room. At first the room seemed fine, if a little warm. First problem, the window didn't open. There was an inner double glazed unit which did open, but an outer sash window which didn't. The space between the two windows was THICK with mould, it clearly hadn't been cleaned in months. We soon discovered that the floor was filthy and the toilet seat was both loose, and clearly didn't fit (potentially dangerous). Despite this, we tried to make the most of it. To be fair the food and drinks we had were decent, can't fault that. Our room must have been directly above one of the speakers, I see other reviews describing a quiet stay but that is NOT our experience. Music was thumping until 12 on the Friday night, and 1:30 on the Saturday night. Not ideal in an already hot and stuffy room. Then came checking out. No staff anywhere, we called the pub, no use. We called the number provided by Expedia. No answer. We tried the emergency contact number provided in the room, who informed us she hasn't worked there for months. After 2 hours we got hold of the manager, who informed us payment is taken automatically when we check out. Honestly, can't recommend.

Excellent couple of days. Enjoyed evening meal in the bar both nights. Bed was comfortable. We ran out of milk and forgot to ask, but otherwise happy.

Super friendly, helpful staff. Had dinner here twice and the food and service were excellent. Parking right outside the hotel. Great value for money. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

No availability to purchase a breakfast, shower soap empty, main bathroom light not working bulb blown, nobody around until 10.00am to check out

We had the most unreal stay and are already planning on going back again. Atmosphere was amazing and the staff were superb.

All OK Thank You.

Room really good value for money for price paid . Advertised as breakfast available on hotels.com. Definitely not . In the cafe a few doors down . Really noisy due to a leaving party till half 2 in the morning . Would be good to have a box or something to put keys in on departure, we ended up putting ours in the room door so they didn’t get lost .

Room ok bed was comfy. Just stayed 1night. Unfortunately there was a leaving do. Normally closes at 11 pm but went in till 2am. Not ideal The flushing of other rooms toilets and showers could be heard in our room ( 4 ) needs to be a bit more sound proof Meal we had was lovely Host very nice Town very quiet. Was just a night away from everything for a rest.

Very friendly staff, nice food at very reasonable prices.Room spotless and hotel in a lovely location. Would definitely stay here again

This property was really beautiful and the staff were so kind! Unfortunately as it's an older building, there is no lift to the rooms so it probably won't be accessible to people with mobility challenges.

Check in was smooth and welcoming. There was plenty of choice for dinner. Breakfast was plentiful, hot and served right on time. The room we had was room 6. It was a little dark and the sloping roof was no problem to us but tall people will bang their heads. There were a few dog treats on the carpet which we just picked up and threw in the bin. There was plenty of tea and coffee, the towels were lovely and fluffy and the bed extremely comfortable. It was our second time staying and we will return again.

Nice location and easy free parking. Hearty breakfast.
