Guest Reviews

Wayne (8/5): -
Nigel (5/5): Mediocre for the price, breakfast very poor. Cheapest suasages ever - Location Shower poor
Lisa (9/5): - The location is great and the hotel staff and owner Oliver were friendly and professional. We had a meal in the restaurant and the food was delicious. Bedroom was cosy and clean, but a little tired looking, but I wouldn't let this put me off booking again.
Harry (3/5): -
john (10/5): -
Judith (9/5): Well managed hotel which is ideally located for surrounding attractions. - Very friendly, well managed hotel, clean, comfortable room, ample parking. Loved hearing the horses early morning.
Sue (7/5): Nice hotel in a quiet village. Great watching all the race horses going up to the gallops during the day. - Location is great in this little village. The room was clean with good welcome tray. My husbands dinner wasn’t very good. He said the meat was tough. My cod fish was really good and cooked nicely. The ratatouille was over powering on both meals. Breakfast was great apart from the sausages were cheap quality but everything else was great. Heather was a delightful waitress and very helpful about the local area.
Ian (6/5): -
Alan (10/5): Enjoyable mini break which was perfect. - Location was perfect, all the staff very friendly & helpful. Breakfast was very good, ample fresh fruit salad and everything. We also had our evening meal here both nights which was also very good.
Ray (9/5): Great stay - Oliver was fantastic and his team were great . - Very good The bathroom shower wasn’t the best it needs improvement.
Julie (5/5): -
Craig (8/5): Pleasant stay - Very clean &tidy, very friendly staff and a very nice restaurant Very poor shower and the room was not very warm
Faye (8/5): Excellent stay, excellent location welcoming staff just a few teething issues but excellent stay - Location fantastic, Breakfast - ate a cooked breakfast the portion size was small definitely not enough sausage, bacon and beans. No where to have a drink, we didn’t dine there could do with a bar area for non dining guests.

June (9/5): A charming place in a lovely place - The breakfast was great, so much choice and really good produce. Very tasty.
mark (9/5): lovely - location and the reception
Colin (7/5): Comfortable stay - Great village hotel. Oliver who had just taken over the hotel was so helpful Breakfast for the following morning was requested the night before. Would have preferred to have a free choice on the day.
Lyndsey (8/5): Lovely little hotel tucked away in the Moors -
Daley (10/5): - Lovely hotel staff and location. No bad points.
Miranda (8/5): - The room was lovely and clean , like the fact that they were a bath , cosy room Breakfast was lovely, well looked after There wasn't anything we didn't like ,however, we couldn't turn the light off in the so had to take the light blub out and the fire exit light was very bright and annoying . On returning back to the hotel we couldn't get ourselves back in , you have to go through the door at the side of the building which it does say in small print on a notice and am sure the young man did say ,but at the time I thought he was just pointing the fire exit to us , other than that we had a lovely stay
Philip (10/5): Excellent short stay despite the November weather. - Great Breakfast. Excellent Restaurant food. Fiona and team friendly and helpful. The Weather !!

Fiona (10/5): - Like a home from home very comfortable
Linda (10/5): Cozy & charming - Great hotel. The gentleman staffing it was terrific. The facility was cozy & welcoming & fellow travellers were delightful. The town was less busy than others a few miles away & that was welcome relief. Nothing.

jonathan (8/5): -
Mike (10/5): - Great service and a good friendly 'feel'. Fiona was brilliant, delightful and a wonderful host. Great team. Nothing
Bridget (10/5): We loved staying at The Wensleydale Hotel ! - We had a lovely time. Fiona and all the staff were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We could open the windows in our room !!!! ( Not always possible in hotel accommodation!) So the room was comfortable and a pleasant temperature and we slept very well. We had breakfast, a lunch and a dinner during our stay - all the food was delicious. This hotel is not ostentatious but it has quality ! Middleham is a lovely place - full of historic buildings including the castle of course. It is bustling and bristling with racing activity. It's lovely to see all the horses go out in the mornings. Every driveway and jitty leads to a stable yard ! If I stayed again I think I would book to visit a yard as I don't know much about racing and would like to find out more about the industry. There are lovely walks to be had through the dales countryside from Middleham Everything was lovely.
Phil (10/5): Perfect for visiting our own Town ( Mr Mrs Middleham) - Beautiful property…….well looked after. We liked everything !!
Christine (8/5): -
ANNA (5/5): The stay was pretty average.could have put on a better breakfast coffee wasn’t hot and the toast was cold and the fruit - Location was good and staff friendly Beds were not comfortable and the night light was shining too brightly
Andyshack (8/5): - Good food, comfy beds and great location
Adam (10/5): - Staff were very friendly and made me feel at home during my cycling trip. Food was excellent. Would recommend visiting!
Martin (7/5): Staff were great and the espresso martinis were excellent - Good
Jackie (10/5): Middleham break - Lovely stay host Fiona and son Hugo and rest of staff were excellent
Rick (7/5): Lovely hotel, but premium room faces nightlife and busy road. - Good location for the activates we wanted to do. A couple of options to eat and drink in the square. Nice room. Nice view of the castle. Very nice attached restaurant. Friendly locals. A couple of things just didn’t suit us, which I wish the original listing had been more honest about, as they could have prevented the negative part of the review. The castle view, which you pay extra for, also faces the lively nightlife playing thumping music. This will suit people looking for something a bit more vibrant, but we were hoping for something quiet and relaxing. Sadly, opting for the premium room without this information tarnished our stay a little. You also wouldn’t be able to tell from the looking at google, but the road that the castle view room faces is quite a busy thoroughfare for racehorses, farm traffic, and motorbikes. Again, this wouldn’t be an issue for people who are already up and about by 06:30, but we like a lie-in. Our room was also above the outdoor seating area, so we had the added noise of other guests chatting outside in the morning while we were still in bed. Finally, I was mortified when a staff member entered the room without knocking, catching an eyeful of me getting undressed and my partner already undressed in bed. There was no lock, latch, or "do not disturb" card to use while in the room, so knocking before entering should absolutely be standard practice for staff.
Susan (10/5): I had a wonderful stay. - It is a lovely hotel and the staff were excellent. I would definitely stay again. Nothing
Amanda (9/5): Superb - Perfect location, lovely characterful room, with good facilities. Excellent breakfast made to order from quality ingredients. Staff were friendly and helpful we felt very welcome and will be back Nothing

sandra (10/5): Brilliant place to stay - Excellent overnight stay. Brilliant food and service from all the team. Great location and we will be back
Francis (10/5): Exceptional -
Michael (10/5): Superb one-night get away - We arrived early and were welcomed. The weather was awful - Middleham had had a good downfall of snow overnight, albeit a little early. We enjoyed a drink in the bar area whilst our room was ready. Our room was spotlessly clean, with an excellent view of Middleham Castle. We enjoyed a pre-dinner drink in the bar where we met Fiona - the proprietor. What a lovely lady. Our meal was excellent - could not be faulted. After a restful night's sleep, we were delighted to see that the snow has disappeared. Breakfast was absolutely scrumptious. It certainly set us up for the rest of today - Sunday 24th. Very nice to see the race horses being exercised. Fiona explained that Middleham is the Newmarket of the North - many riding stables in the area. Another visit is a MUST. Next time we will take our dog with us to meet Fiona!! The bed mattress was somewhat hard for us - personal preference and no reflection on The Wensleydale Hotel.
Charlene (9/5): Superb -
Angela (8/5): Comfortable and convenient with friendly staff - The staff were very friendly and helpful - we needed taxi recommendations and they were able to provide several options for us. We also appreciated that they asked for the breakfast order ahead of time, saving time and food waste. The location was perfect for us. We should have asked about the stairs - we had a couple of older people with us and it would have been better if they had not had to climb multiple floors.
David (4/5): Down at heel hotel in centre of town - I the point of your visit is to be in MIddleham the location is great - you are right in the middle of town. The Hotel is not as attractive as its description of photos. The Building is need of work. Even though I had Emailed the hotel to secure dinner on the Sunday evening no food was available. Though the owner helpfully recommended a local pub.
Deborah (7/5): A great location and comfy rooms. - Comfy and clean room and friendly staff. Great location in centre of town. Breakfast was quite basic.
Matthew (9/5): Superb - Situated right in the middle of Middleham, a lovely, comfortable hotel with an excellent restaurant.
Laura (10/5): Relaxing and charming hotel with the added bonus of horses trotting down the road as your alarm clock… love it here - Location in the village The shower could have been a bit stronger but doesn’t matter as has no effect on the break we had in the lovely hotel
Sally (10/5): Exceptional -
Mark (10/5): Great stay, nice hosts, lovely breakfast - Great stay, I used to frequent the pub (as it was then) many years ago. Love what the owner has done with it. Great stay thanks
Paddyfellows (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful little hotel with great Staff who were very helpful - even when we had to cut our stay early due to our 8month old having a terrible time with teething
Sophie (10/5): Welcoming comfortable family hotel - The staff. The owners were the most friendly, kind, understanding and accommodating hosts. They waited for us to finally arrive at 2 am (flight delay) although their check in clearly says you have to arrive earlier. Made us feel welcomed and calmed our stress even in the middle of the night. Nothing
Tess (10/5): A sanctuary in time of need thank you -
Melissa (5/5): Passable -
David (9/5): Superb -
Peter (8/5): Very good - Ver welcoming. Excellent breakfast, very nicely presented. Felt more like a 4-star than a 3.
Sarah (10/5): English Hospitality at its best! - Perfect stay. Hospitable & welcoming. Comfortable & spotlessly clean. Cosy bar. Really high standard of food. Nothing!
Steve (6/5): Won’t stay again - Location Noise from other guests walls very thin creaking floor boards from room above. Shower very small
Olivew (7/5): Good - Great location. Excellent breakfast. Friendly, professional staff. Very small room overlooking a wall.
Tracey (8/5): Perfectly placed in the Yorkshire Dales - The location of the hotel was great, not too far away from lots of lovely walks and attractions. Rooms were really clean and the bed was very comfortable. The toiletries provided by the hotel were lovely. Nothing I didn't like. Used to sleeping in a king size bed so the double felt a bit on the small side, but was still comfortable and a good night's sleep.
Bernard (10/5): Exceptional - breakfast everything was lovely Nothing everything was just great
Louise (10/5): Exceptional -
Caroline (8/5): Very good -
Lorraine (9/5): Comfortable, homely, friendly- excellent bar keeper - knowledgeable manager,Happy time - friendliness / casual / made to feel comfortable Decor in bedroom (but just a matter of taste) some of my family would have loved the 'quaintness' didnt DISLIKE it!

Cristina (10/5): Perfect long weekend - Perfect location in the middle of the village staff very helpful and friendly. Modern and clean and in the middle of the village
Rupert (8/5): Great overal stay for work, would also be great as a base to explore North Yorkshire - Nice character property, with lots of original features. The Tack Room was a great dining area. I don’t think there is any private parking, there is a car parking area on the Main Street, very quiet and no issues with availability or damage.
Pettitt (9/5): Superb -
William (9/5): Made very welcome and comfortable - Central to the town and the various horse racing stables
