The hotel is in the middle of Middleham and there is easy access to the castle and local areas. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They catered well for my food allergies, which was good as I don't think I would have been able to eat elsewhere in the town. Saying that, I personally wasn't impressed with breakfast but my husband was. Lastly parking was on the street in the market square. We had no problem finding a parking space.

Good location on the main square with on street parking. Nice evening meal but overpriced. I think the owner is new and still learning the hospitality trade. Breakfast distinctly average Hotel public rooms have been refurbished, room nice but bathroom still needed a little attention. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

We informed the hotel we'd be arriving early as we were attending a wedding, and they very kindly had the room ready for our arrival. The room was clean and had comfortable twin beds, with a gorgeous view over the village square and Middleham Castle. The welcome we received was warm and friendly. Lunch was excellent; highly recommend the Wensleydale Cheese Souffle and Bangers and Mash! Breakfast was also included and was delicious. As someone who has worked in luxury hotels for years, I was very impressed with everything! We'd definitely stay here again when in the area.

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.
