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.

The property was in the centre of Middleham which was a good location. The room was comfortable. There wasn't a car park but you could park on the square for free.
