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.

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.
Victoria, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Perfect relaxing getaway

The Wensledale hotel is located in the lovely village of Middleham, the welcome we got was warm, the onsite restaurant served absolutely amazing food and the breakfast the next morning has got to be one of the best weve ever had
Catherine, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Stay clear room 12

Room 12 stay clear the bathroom was disgusting so much mould and so dated my partner couldn’t even fit in the shower and I was only just able to get in - I’m pretty sure the owners have never ever tried to get in that shower - the toilet seat was so old and wooden not a pleasant experience at all. Breakfast waited one morning from 9 to 9.40 (booked for 9) no apology at all. No we never complained about the room as it was fully booked but was glad to check out won’t ever go again. There are other things I could moan about but it won’t make any difference- if I turned up next year it would be the same - should receive a full refund but would never happen. We’ve been in lockdown surely they’ve seen how bad the bathroom is !!!

Beautiful place to say. So relaxing.

When we got to the hotel at Middleham it was in a lovely position with parking at the front. The hotel has friendly staff . We had a quiet room number 21 on the top floor with a four poster bed and nice views from the window at the side of the hotel. The room was lovely and clean with a bath and shower. The breakfast was really good the bacon was so tasty .while having breakfast you can watch the horses and the riders around the village which was a lovely sight to see. There are a few pubs and a village shop and nice to walk around the village . Just had a lovely feel about it . I would stay there again . Thank you to all the staff that made our stay so lovely .
