With a boutique spa and magnificent gardens, Middlethorpe Hall & Spa offers award-winning food and scenic views. The hotel overlooks York Racecourse, and is just 2 miles from the historic city centre.

Guests can relax in the indoor swimming pool, spa bath, sauna or steam room. There is also a gym in the Victorian summer house, and the grounds feature leafy terraces and fragrant orchards.

From the moment you arrive you’ll feel like royalty. Everything was first class, the staff were lovely and we stayed in the main house which was a beautifully maintained building with so much character and unique features and antiques. The beds were comfy and room had a generous tea and coffee tray with bottled water. The garden view made it almost impossible to believe its only a few mins to the main road. We also thoroughly enjoyed the use of the spa facilities. Breakfast was excellent.

    Although not what we were expecting, our room was quite spacious and comfortable with a decent modern bathroom. All was spotlessly clean, and the pool and sauna cabin were a real bonus. Also, the staff were really helpful and friendly and the restaurant staff in particular did really well with a busy breakfast service.

    It was presented so well, clean and quality no corners cut, the detail made it. Such a small space offering everything we needed without feeling restricted, it was simple but effective. The bed was very comfortable with a quality mattress and the hot tub was excellent so clean and so big and the surroundings really made it a relaxed environment perfect for time out! We were there as part of our honeymoon break and wish had stayed longer.

    Luxury lodge with all the high spec details including the hot tub. At the same time you felt as if you could relax even though it was so luxurious. We loved the hot tub definitely a special touch to the break.

    The lodge was amazing, had everything that we needed for a comfortable break away. The lodge was spacious, very clean and immaculately presented. The hot tub was great and I saw staff going round the lodges testing to see if they ok. JJ's restaurant on sight was also very good, well worth a visit. It took us about 20 mins to get to York, there is a park and ride and also plenty of parking in the centre of York. Very relaxing place will definitely return.

    The lodge was amazing- so spacious, clean, warm, cosy and homely. It had everything you could need for a short break. The balcony was lovely overlooking the little lake , and felt private when in the hot tub. The sound of the fountain from the lake was very relaxing. The location was perfect to relax, but close enough to drive into York for the day. I would definitely stay again!
