Perfect stay in Middleham.

10.0

Beautiful old building in a perfect position overlooking the castle. Lovely walled garden at the back with ample facilities to sit in the shade or sun. Sarah and Chris were great hosts, the breakfast was delicious with much choice. Sarah was very helpful in advising us on the local area and places to visit and eat. The room was very comfortable and well equipped as were the communal areas. If we are ever back in Middleham we would most definitely stay again, a great find.

Nothing.
