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!

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!

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.
