Incredible dinner
Samantha
Absolutely beautiful house and weathering pretty well considering age and National Trust status. Quirky and very comfortable but not contemporary so don’t expect gleaming and modern. That’s the absolute beauty of this place and we loved it. The staff were fabulous and service was outstanding. House and grounds superb. Special birthday treat and will recommend until the cows come home! Well situated for York and a wonderful way to embrace history with this wonderful house. Fabulous!
Alan
Great national Trust venue/hotel. Given it is old the windows rattle and no air con or fridge in the room. However if you are looking for a great place to stay with an old time experience, this could be the place for you.
Walter John
It felt comfortable and we came away feeling pampered and relaxed ready for Stressy family wedding over the weekend

DAVID

Jo
Room was delightful,spacious, clean and had great tea making facilities. Staff were welcoming and happy to chat. We loved the Halls historic features which were highlighted in Christmas decor making it very special. We enjoyed a walk around the gardens in the morning before heading off a short distance into York. Fabulous stay and will be back again! Many thanks
Guy
This is an exception hotel.
Quality customer service and excellent food; traditional atmosphere fitting to the period house and grounds. Really recommended.

Beautiful scenery, excellent staff. I had a lovely, if short, stay.
Kenneth
Lovely place, nice room and breakfast. The spa was good (didn't try the gym). From a distance the grounds looked good but it was winter and dusk when we arrived so didn't see fully. The staff were outstanding, so friendly and courteous. Good location, 9 minutes drive from the park and ride. I'm only going to rate them 4.9 out of 5 though, as I'll deduct 0.1 points for no baked beans with my full Yorkshire breakfast ;)
Sally
First of all I have to mention Stephen, he’d only been working at the hotel 2 weeks but it didn’t show. He knew exactly how to fulfil his role as we were shown round. The house and rooms are beautiful and well laid out. Service perfect from start to finish. Breakfast was wonderful as was the spa. We had a very relaxing stay and will be back again when the weather is better to enjoy the garden.
Thank you again.
Thank you again.

The whole experience of staying at the hotel was excellent. The room was really lovely and the staff were very attentive. Did not stay in for dinner but the breakfast was delicious.
Derek
Period features in the building, felt like going back in time.
John
Everything top notch
Lynda
The gentleman who showed us to our room could not open the door despite having the key so we stood in the corridor whilst he went off to find a colleague to help. Not a great first impression. However, it is a lovely house, elegant, comfortable and the staff are at ease and welcoming. The food wind and service in the restaurant faultless. Would definitely come back
Julie
Middlethorpe Hall is peaceful beautiful elegant country House full of charm. The surroundings inside and out are spectacular. The staff discreetly attentive and charming. Dining options allow formal or informal dining. The Spa offers good quality treatments and the whole experience left me refreshed, relaxed and delighted to have spent time there. Excellent and unique.
Clare
Simply exquisite
This place was absolutely incredible!! A truly magical stay ✨

Staff had gone over and beyond to make my stay as comfortable as possible.
All were attentive and friendly and it looked like they also enjoyed working there, which makes a difference.
They were well mannered polite and graceful.
I will certainly come back with family.

Fabulous experience
Middlethorpe Hall and Spa is a fabulous hotel, one of three owned by the National Trust in the UK. It is set in beautiful grounds and garden. Staff are very welcoming and friendly, the room was spacious and well furnished and the bed was large and comfortable. We had breakfast included in our stay and they catered for most people.
Getting into York without using the car was a bonus as the 11 bus has a stop right outside the main driveway entrance. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We were totally blown away by the whole experience. Ultimately staff were brilliant The hotel was beautiful. The food was excellent. Accompanied by excellent accommodation all excellent
Marcus
This is a beautiful national trust owned country house hotel, with lovely comfortable rooms, gorgeous gardens, a fantastic restaurant, and wonderful staff, providing friendly & attentive service. It’s also really handy for the York city centre by taxi (around £10 each way with the Drive app) and, if you’re going for the races, the racecourse is actually walkable from the hotel. It has to be acknowledged that Middlethorpe Hall is a little on the expensive side, but it is worth every penny. By the way, a great restaurant tip for the city centre is Rustique - a brilliant French bistro.
If you loved the sadly gone Sharrow Bay, in its heyday, as I did, then Middlethorpe Hall lives up to that. We had plans in York for our first night, but on our second night we ate in the hotel’s restaurant, and the food is simply amazing. I don’t think they have a Michelin star - not that I checked - but they certainly deserve one. Middlethorpe Hall has to be the quintessential country house hotel experience in Britain today, and we will definitely be returning. Thank you to all the staff, for making our stay so delightful.

Nice
Lovely hotel with lots of parking. I had a great spa treatment. The staff were helpful and approachable. The room was a good size with plenty of towels and toiletries. The room it was a little too warm for me during the night though.
The only downside was a few noisy people at breakfast who need to learn to moderate their voices and the smallest serving of scrambled eggs with salmon I have ever had in a hotel or restaurant!

Jeremy
We were a kate check-in and only stayed one night so didn't get the chance to sample the gardens, restaurant or spa. Staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms warm with huge feather pillows. We'll be back to have a proper stay!
Paul
Middlethorpe Hall is a beautiful property. The staff there are exceptionally lovely and we were made to feel so welcome. There was so much character and original features which feels like the antithesis to other bland hotels.
Terri
Beautiful gardens behind the hotel you could walk through. Room was nicely decorated. Breakfast was excellent
Christine
Beautiful property. Lovely staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay
Joyce
We loved our stay in this beautiful property. We had two breakfasts and one dinner on site and they were wonderful, both the food and the top notch service. All the staff we encountered were lovely as well!
Catherine
This was my second stay at Middlethorpe Hall. The staff are amazing and the grounds are breathtaking. Suggest that irons and ironing boards be put in the room and supply guests with hair conditioner. I called down for hair conditioner and was told that the shampoo was conditioning shampoo but I could buy a small bottle for an additional charge.
Adam
Birthday surprise for my wife and it was the perfect gift.Historic building with lovely gardens to explore and friendly professional staff. Efficient bus service also made it cheap and easy to travel into York and enjoy everything the stunning city has to offer.

A piece of history
I chose Middlethorpe because of its history. It's a lovely old stately home which has been maintained to a high standard. The staff are very welcoming and the beds very comfortable.
It's also a very pleasant walk into the centre of York!

Beautiful grounds and garden.
Catriona
I would definitely recommend this hotel. Absolutely stunning location, beautiful stately home with lush gardens. The staff were very polite and helpful, always on hand to cater to my every need. My room was cosy and cleaned every morning. Within a few miles of York, I walked there along the river most days. I will definitely be back next year.

Marvelous Middlethorpe Manor
A beautiful place, with gorgeous facilities and stunning grounds. The food is delicious and the staff are friendly and go out of their way for you. The restaurant is a bit stuffy and very expensive.

Craig
Good service, comfortable but a bit overpriced.
We were greeted by very friendly and attentive staff. We were given a little tour of the main house and given some of its history. We were then shown to our court yard room. The room was a little small and very dated but I guess when somewhere is this old what should I expect? But it was relatively comfortable. I am sure the American tourists would think this is what all British hotels are like.
We went over to the Spa which was nice pool, sauna and steam room good to relax. Book early if you want treatments though.
We had a relatively relaxing sleep but we’re woken early by people leaving their rooms and doors slamming behind them.
We ordered room service breakfast which arrived bang on time and it was very nice.
On the whole our stay was good but in reality I think this place was very overpriced and I wouldn’t revisit unless it was about half what I paid.

An historic hotel
Amazing building, superb food, high priced, easy access to the centre of York - (the bus stop is only a few yards from the front door!)

Perfect place to stay for a special weekend break
Lovely, traditional Hotel. All of the Staff were friendly and efficient, with a warm welcome, as soon as we arrived. We were in the Courtyard, staying in a large room, with a comfortable super king bed. My only slight criticism is that it was difficult to reach the bath taps around the fixed shower screen. The main House is very elegant, and there is a beautiful formal Garden and Grounds to stroll in.
There is plenty of room in the free Car Park.
The breakfast was delicious, with plenty of choice. We only had dinner there once; it was well presented and tasty.
The Spa was also good, with a decent size pool.
We were able to walk into York, which was around 40 minutes, along the Riverside, most of the way. And there is also a couple of Village Pubs, 15 minutes walk away.

Beautiful hotel in a great location which is surrounded by countryside but only ten minutes in the car to the city centre and around 15 minutes walk to a few local pubs.
Service from staff was excellent and nothing was too much trouble.
We booked in for an evening meal in the hotel restaurant one of the evenings which was fabulous.

Nice old building with good restaurant
This is a lovely old building that is now a hotel. The room was spacious enough with some character and charm, old furniture, uneven floors, as expected in an old building.
Dinner was excellent with well presented and served dishes. The service was friendly.
Breakfast was good but would have been much better if the plates had been warmed, my breakfast was cold when I finished.
Overall i would recommend this hotel

Beautiful features throughout the Hall and grounds, a little like stepping back in time. Walking distance to York centre.

Had a lovely stay in this wonderful historic property, highly recommend. Good breakfast and use of SPA with limited numbers due to covid. Would stay again.

Brilliant stay in York
Very good all round- excellent service from the Hall Porter and he was a delight throughout our 4 day stay in the Courtyard. Excellent food but would have liked a less rich option for dinner. Garden and grounds for a delight. Bus to town was very good and the two mile walk past the race course was easy for us when we felt energetic

This hotel is fantastic - the staff, the rooms and the location are all first-class.
We were able to walk into he centre of York within 30 mins or so - along a very picturesque (and safe) route

We enjoyed the beautiful gardens and made good use of the swimming pool. Our room was small but clean. We thought breakfast choices were limited. It was a pleasant riverside walk into York (around 40 minutes) or an efficient bus service.

great short break
The staff were very obliging in every way from arriving in the car park to leaving.
The hotel was comfortable and well looked after;
The one thing only wrong was soggy toast in the morning
