Yorks Leading Country House Hotel
Middlethorpe Hall- just outside York is a William-and-Mary country house- built in 1699 of mellow red bricks with limestone dressing. The Hall has been elegantly decorated in the manner of the 18thC and furnished with antiques and fine paintings- so that its look and ambiance is that of a well-kept- well-furnished private manor house rather than a 29-bedroomed hotel.
Middlethorpe Hall is renowned for its imaginative cuisine -the only restaurant in York awarded 3 rosettes by the AA- and its oak-paneled dining room which overlooks the manicured gardens.
The 20 acres of manicured gardens and parkland which surround Middlethorpe Hall include a fragrant rose garden- intriguing walled garden and romantic meadow which leads to a lake surrounded by beautiful specimen trees.
Middlethorpe Hall also boasts a Spa built behind the handsome facade of two Listed Edwardian cottages. This offers guests a wide range of facilities from Clarins- Molton Brown -exclusive in Yorkshire and Espa treatments with trained therapists to a splendid indoor swimming pool Jacuzzi and sauna.

HHannah FayFantastic stay at The Grand. We had booked a suite but it was not one of the modernised rooms like we had hoped for. We went to reception and was greeted by India who kindly gave us options of 2 other rooms to move to and let us view both before choosing. The room we picked was fantastic, so modern, comfortable and even had kitchen facilities which was an added bonus. It was lovely to sleep in such a comfortable bed and not be disturbed by any street noise or noise from other guests. We went out for dinner and was surprised to come back to see we’d had a turn down service and little chocolates left on the pillows. Just little touches like this make you want to return and recommend to others. We would definitely stay here again, the service from all staff, but especially India, was fantastic!

GGuest UserVery elegant old-style villa, the breakfast is very rich and delicious, the stay is also very comfortable, and the cost performance is super high! York is very quiet, and the people I met along the way are very friendly. I couldn't swipe my card in the public toilet on Butcher Street, but a local brother saw that I swiped his card and let me in. Thank you for being such a good person! This time I traveled by myself, my English was terrible, but the experience was actually quite good, haha, I recommend everyone to stay and play~

GGuest UserOn the surface, this cozy place is probably a good bet for a stay in York. It's just enough outside of the city center to avoid all the tourists, but close enough to walk right in. The reservation process was great and the price is good. It's supposed to be a 4 star hotel and, in many senses, it lives up to that status. The staff is excellent. The food and coffee is very good and everyone is very attentive. The rooms are immaculate (heated bathroom floors are amazing!) and the amenities are great. That all said, there are some issues . Often the staff cleans the front area in the middle of the afternoon, which is a rather inconvenient time to clean as it is disruptive to the guests. Though the summer would be different, it was in the low 40's when we were there and heating in the lobby doesn't seem to be a priority for the hotel. We had to have someone set up a space heater for us in the tea room so we could stay warm, which was a bad look (tacky) for them. The biggest issue, however, we that they held a wedding event on the second say we were there. While it's completely understandable for hotels to host events, this particular location is ill suited to do so given the noise level of the event and the small quarters of the hotel. They had a live band, which sent the music to most of the rooms, making sleeping nearly impossible. Though they did move our room, we still heard the band, who played until almost midnight. Having a bunch of wedding guests being loud all lover the hotel also didn't help. The staff agreed with my assessment, which was to either not have events at all or, if they do, block out the rooms from being rented since it is impossible to merge the hotel with an event space. it's just too small. Ultimately, they need to make a decision about who they are as a brand, event space or 4 star hotel. I'd pitch they choose hotel because that is what it really is.

Aangels247Online check in wasn't working new system issues but that was ok. Very friendly staff. 24hr reception,menu etc. breakfast prices need updating as they are £8 not £6. Light help yourself breakfast pastries toast, cereal and coffee. Nice spacious dining hall. Plenty of communal areas to sit and relax and the bar is a great place to meet and chat to people. The stairs were a challenge after a long day for me but rooms comfy. Curtains around beds give you good privacy. Trinity church over the road has lots of history and worth a visit. Regency Chinese is a great place to eat a short walk away. Close to the walls,station,city,bridges etc.. great for sight seeing. In a quiet part of the city. Loved my stay. Would stay here again. Great value.

Llouise bloxhamI arrived late evening after a long journey and received a lovely welcome and an upgrade upon checking in. Both the hotel and the room were stunning. The stair case alone is so beautiful. My bed was super comfy and my room had a roll top bath and a separate rain dance shower. The water pressure was great for such an old building too. I also had a view of York Minster. It’s right next to the train station but also easy walking distance to the city centre.

JJess BrowningFrom the moment we arrived at the hotel the staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. The bunker room made for a unique and comfortable stay and loved the little touches like the KitKats in the room on arrival. The only small complaint would be the shower head sprayed out, the whole bathroom floor to become soaked, but nothing major at all. We’ll definitely be back and recommending to to anyone staying in York.

MM478889****It's an older Holiday Inn. The cleanliness was good, though the bathroom was incredibly tiny, and the elevators were showing their age. The front desk staff were great, and they offer free luggage storage. A crucial tip: when taking the bus from the train station to the hotel, make sure to tell the driver your stop beforehand, otherwise, the bus might easily skip it!

GGuest Usersome of the room will only be accessible with stairs
booked accessible room as it wont have stairs
room is spacious but hotel is old
quite a comfortable stay for the price in UK.
Towels have some damp smell which is why i dock
the cleanliness for. At night there is only one concierge, so need to come to lobby to ask for amenities.
Cant make loud noise in accessible room, the alarm will blare off thinking someone injured
Downside in York, most taxis are smaller in size compared to other cities. There is no choice of uber XL in York too. Just additional note to be mindful
of.

AAnonymous UserWe stayed here a few years before and really enjoyed our stayed so booked to come back for our anniversary. We were in the opposite side of the building this time and it was still delightful. We really enjoyed the separation of the bathroom from the bedroom with a little study area. The place was starting to get a little run down however. There was no handle on the toilet, and one of the bathroom lights didn’t work. Toilet roll was paper thin and the lights above the bed were perfect height for hitting your head when getting in and out of bed. Other than that though he we enjoyed our stayed. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and the restaurant food was delicious.
