Inspector comments
"Friendly town square hotel in the heart of horse-breeding country."
Overview
The historic town of Middleham is a wonderful backdrop for the Wensleydale Hotel, which sits in the main square looking up at the castle. Racehorse breeding is the local passion and you can constantly hear horses trotting past. A French influence is evident in the food offering in the Tack Room, which is the very heart of the establishment. Rooms come in various sizes and shapes and are charming and well equipped with lots of comforts such as Egyptian cotton linen, luxury toiletries and fresh coffee. Parking is on the town square to the front.

About the area
North Yorkshire, with its two National Parks and two designated Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is England’s largest county and one of the most rural. This is prime walking country, from the heather-clad heights of the North York Moors to the limestone country that is so typical of the Yorkshire Dales – a place of contrasts and discoveries, of history and legend.
