Osmotherley Vacations from $1,021

Middleham is a beautiful place to stay and to enjoy walking and a bit of wild swimming. The place oozes character. Richard III boasts age and character, so don’t stay here if you want modern. No breakfast included which we hadn’t checked, but there is a lovely tearoom but 2minutes walk away, racing stables close by so plenty of thoroughbreds trotting through the centre. I found the place delightful.

Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. A special thanks to the hotel owner Oliver. We hope all goes well for you. You abdolutely deserve it!

On arrival could have done with better signage as to where to park as we ended up parking at Forbidden Corner. Also not easy to find Reception and when we did find there was no-one there for 10 mins. Room nice, dressing gown and slippers nice touch. Had evening meal in the bar which was ok and staff were attentive. Meals on the Sunday finished at 5 and bar closed which was inconvenient. We were informed no staff on site again until Wed. We couldn’t boil kettle Mon morning as electric went off but luckily we finally managed to find a housekeeper who sorted the electrics and brought us some fresh milk (milk had gone off). So all in all a mixed bag really hence only an average score.

Had such a fantastic one night stay at the middle house. From the moment we walked in there was a friendly welcome for us all including our dog. The room was ready and was so clean. Smelt amazing when we walked in so fresh. There were lovely little touches for our dog including bowl, and doggie prosecco. We asked if we they had gluten free options in the menu to find that basically the whole menu was gluten free nearly - amazing as I’m coeliac - one of the owners is too so felt safe. We had a fantastic 3 course evening meal they were all really well presented and delicious. Breakfast was equally as good with fantastic gluten free selection. We will most definitely be back and evening passing through will stop for food. All areas of the hotel are spotless and the attention to detail was fantastic you can see how hard the guys who own this place work and it shines through. The area it is situated in is beautiful too - we had never been to this area of Yorkshire before.

An enjoyable stay. Comfortable room, friendly helpful staff, good food.
