Hambleton Hall

We were blown away by our stay at Hambleton Hall last month for my mother in law’s big birthday (on the evening of which we used HH’s private dining room for our party of ten). Our expectations were high but these were even exceeded. The food was exquisite (we’re still talking about it), the staff were just amazing (always there to help, when needed but never obtrusive), the bedrooms like staying in a beautiful home from home. Highly highly recommended - and even the awful weather didn’t spoil our stay. We were still able to walk around the stunning grounds. The icing on the cake was when I left an item in our bedroom and the hotel posted it back to me without charge. HH really is a remarkable place which we very much hope to return to soon.

Recently visited this hotel and had an amazing experience. Only small which made the visit all the more enjoyable. The staff at the hotel were very friendly,polite and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent,both the breakfast and dinner were up there with the best. Our visit was in the winter and we were not able to fully appreciate the magnificent gardens that surround the hotel. We were given the Lake room which had a magnificent view of the lake although the weather was not at its best. The room itself had everything you would require. This is not a cheap place to visit but this was a special occasion and will be remembered for a very long time. Booking is essential. Thank you for everything. Keep up the good work.

We were a party of 15 staying in seven rooms to help celebrate my wife's 50th. We have always enjoyed all of our stays at Hambleton and so were a little nervous at sharing our "special place" with others. We didn't need to worry.... Everyone had a truly amazing time and all of us felt very pampered for our entire stay. Nothing was too much effort for the whole team from helping to empty our cars of luggage, making teas and coffees and stoking the fires. We very much appreciated that the bar was automagically reserved for us to have pre and post-dinner drinks (excellent margaritas), and that we were able to use the same space for a light lunch of excellent sandwiches and salad. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This was my second visit to Hambleton hall to celebrate my husband and a friend’s husband’s special birthday. We were not disappointed. What a truly wonderful experience. The staff are outstanding, always polite and attentive but also welcoming and friendly. No ask is too much. The hotel is so wonderfully comfortable, from the sofas next to the open fires in the lounge and bar to the bed and pillows. The food and drinks are no less than outstanding. The views are magnificent and it is so beautifully peaceful and quiet. We are planning our next visit already ❤️

A truly delightful and quintessential stay at the beautiful Hambleton Hall. We loved how traditional and beautiful it is, there are a couple of reviews stating it's a bit out dated but the charm here is how it feels like you're starring in a period drama! We stayed in the blue room and it was lovely. A beautiful lake view and over the gardens,truly delightful. There is something rather lovely sitting by a roaring fire, late afternoon drinking delicious cocktails. The food.....oh the food is fabulous! Absolutely delicious and we were left feeling very satisfied. The duck was sublime and my husband said the octopus starter was one of the best he'd had in a long time. The service is impeccable, professional, polite and courteous. The wine list is also fantastic, so much choice and the sommelier kindly helped recommend a delightful red to go with our meal. Breakfast is also marvellous, a lovely selection and cooked to perfection . The only tiny thing I'd have liked is a bit more ambience. There is no background music in the bar or restaurant and I truly think this would have made the whole experience even more perfect. Would we return? Absolutely.

Wonderful traditional hotel with amazing food in a beautiful house. Feels like you’re staying with friends. Every need is thought of and service is perfection. Many thanks to all the staff for a lovely weekend. We can’t wait to return in the Summer when the weather may be kinder!

Outstanding. The food was excellent and the bedroom was just lovely overlooking the lake. Perfect stay. This was a return visit and we have already booked to visit again next year. Idyllic country retreat. You leave feeling refreshed and spoilt. Thank you.

Our third visit to Hambleton Hall. Never disappoints. The highest standards in every imaginable way here. Service outstanding fine dining outstanding location and ground’s outstanding. Even the pool for an early morning dip before an amazing breakfast a rare treat . This place isn’t cheap but you get a unique experience here and leave feeling special and refreshed. We will be back. Oh Jess thanks for the lovely service James the chef your dinner was amazing and sommelier Dom. your wine list is fact an epic poem. Thanks for a memorable Stay.

This is a beautiful country house with a well deserved reputation for excellent food. The gardens are immaculately maintained, a real credit to the gardening team and the location is stunning. The staff were attentive, I thought, but not "in your face" - it's interesting how things have evolved there over the years; on our first visit in the 90's, the service was rather overwhelmingly full-on; now it feels much more relaxed and laissez-faire, a thoroughly comfortable experience. The food, as expected, was top notch; two of us ended with the cheese and we quite fancied a fig with it (as one of the puds was a fig tart, we thought there would be some knocking around in the kitchen) so we asked for and got the fig, which was marinated in something gorgeous and was the best fig EVER!!! My only (slight) criticism, if you can call it a criticism, is that the Hambleton bread is a bit on the crusty side especially when toasted but I'm probably being a bit picky. I wonder also why there are no tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms. I've noticed this before, a bit unusual. Anyway, it's a lovely place, well managed and reassuringly expensive. Will doubtless return.
