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.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Poor experience at the Hotel. 1. door to room very squeaky. 2 shower was very poor, hardly any force in the water. 3 Arrange a meal and ordered Parfait/bread, which was not but Pate, along with the most greasy bread oil was oozing out the bread, returned could not eat. 4. going for breakfast, they need to take off the sausages, as stated Rare breed sausages, not sure what breed but they were horrible, not only confirmed by us but other members staying there. 5. Parking states free, this is not the case, it comes with first there, if you cannot get a parking space, you will have difficulty parking, we arrive NOT at high season, so will be extremely difficult to park anywhere. staff were quite rude too. will not be returning.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Liked the location. Ideal for local open day. Disappointed with size of the room, cleanliness of bathroom, water pressure for shower. Door did not fit not very secure. Long wait for food at breakfast, nearly an hour. Only 2 pillows on double bed and both very flat. Only one bedside table.
