Food both breakfast and evening meal were excellent. All staff were excellent and really wanted the stay to be special for us. The room was good and the pillows were clearly new and helped us sleep. The check in closing at 22.00 might cause a problem to some people and the only other problem was it appeared to be a bit tired in corridors but rooms were fine

The room was clean enough, staff were ok. They were pet friendly as far as pets were allowed in, but I was shocked to have to pay £20 per night for my small dog! They said it was “all the extra cleaning”!? Breakfast better on day 2.

Great Hotel and Restaurant in Middleham, Wensleyda

Business trip, arrived late so restaurant was shut however the owner made a sandwich which was very much appreciated. Stayed two nights for business so early starts, missed breakfast both days as way too early. Managed to eat in the restaurant on day two. great menu, great food and wine. In summary great place for a break however if you are on business check on times for breakfast and restaurant closures to avoid disappointment.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Liked the location. Ideal for local open day. Disappointed with size of the room, cleanliness of bathroom, water pressure for shower. Door did not fit not very secure. Long wait for food at breakfast, nearly an hour. Only 2 pillows on double bed and both very flat. Only one bedside table.

Nice welcome but no dinner

Really nice welcome from the staff. The room was pleasant but the bed was not very comfortable and we could hear others in their rooms. The facilities were clean but basic, we had to boil the kettle on the floor because there were no plugs available. They did not tell us we would need to book for the restaurant and when we arrived at 7pm to eat, we were told it was fully booked. Other pubs were also full and we struggled to get any food for dinner, luckily we arranged takeaway from anothe pub.

The room was comfortable but the heating was a bit intermittent and came on at certain times. This seemed to get rectified during our stay. The breakfast was very good quality but we had to wait quite a long time for the cooked food to arrive.
