The Experience

These gorgeous stone barns were once crumbling, now they’re home to one of the loveliest hotels in the north. You can dine outdoors even in winter, under an awning with a huge firepit and heaters, in summer, life spills onto the courtyard for lunch in the sun, but step through the arched glass doors and find a spectacular restaurant open to the rafters. There’s a funky bar for cocktails, an open fire, a sitting room for guests that opens onto a terrace. Bedrooms are just as good, with fine fabrics, super-comfy beds and robes, five have their own terrace and some have hot tubs.

Elsewhere, you’ll find a spa with treatment rooms, a kitchen garden where you can get married, and beautiful rooms in the renovated farmhouse. Good food waits, some home-grown, much from Yorkshire, all tasty.

Breakfast is big and the Dales wait to the west, the Moors to the east for bracing walks. Don’t miss The Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle, a jewel.

Reviews

Middleton Lodge is the sort of place you will never want to leave. We booked for a 'girls weekend' and felt thoroughly spoilt; we loved borrowing wellies and walking the estate, and drinking cocktails next to the firepit in the courtyard (our favourite was the Chocolate Mint Espresso Martini!). I can't wait to come back again with my partner, I can imagine it being a very romantic place for 2.

I had dinner at the Coach House recently. It's very beautiful in a rustic way. The service was excellent and the food absolutely delicious. I'd eat there again in a heartbeat.

Marina, Mallorca Sep 2018

An excellent venue. Great restaurant, plenty of choice at the bar & rooms really well decorated & equipped. Loved the little private terrace outside our room. Loved the free bikes you can borrow to ride around the estate. Quickest way to get there is to come off at Scotch Corner & go through the village rather than the way your sat nav send you. Not cheap but worth it!

Location

The neighbourhood

Middleton Lodge Estate sits in 200 acres of its very own 17th century parkland, so there are endless opportunities for lovely walks with places to stop for picnics or just a quiet read. It's a short drive to Richmond, a vibrant market town with a cobbled market place, lovely shops and restaurants and pretty Georgian houses. Masham, the starting point for wonderful walking is a 20-minute drive.

Local points of interest from James & Rebecca Allison

There is a 3km route around the estate which takes you down through the woodland, past a stream (which only runs when it rains), over a bridge, with magical views past fields of sheep across the Cleveland hills.
This area has one of the lowest rainfalls in the country, situated in the Vale of Mowbray between the Yorkshire Dales and Yorkshire Moors which catch most of the rain, so you may well be lucky with the sunshine. If so why not head out into the Dales.
We have just completed works on The Kitchen Garden. We now grow seasonal produce and provide a beautiful protected space to wander. The Kitchen Garden now serves as a food source for The Coach House Restaurant.
We hold several events across the estate on a weekly basis, from cookery school, design and art workshops, open air theatre and cinema to wine dinners. Our annual events have become renowned for their individuality and creativity.
Nearby Richmond has a Norman Castle and keep as well as a Georgian market town. It is the oldest 'Richmond' in the world and all others are named after this one. The Georgian theatre is also the oldest working theatre in the country.
The Tack Room is our favourite bedroom. It comes with your own woodburning stove, white timber panelling, a comfy linen sofa to curl up in, an enormous bathroom with mismatched blue & white tiles and a freestanding bath to sink into.

Introducing

James & Rebecca Allison

Owners James and Rebecca, have spent many years creatively giving a new lease of life to the Georgian country retreat, preserving its history and carefully restoring the original buildings into characterful, yet contemporary spaces for residents to settle into. The Palladian Main House is still the family residence. You're looked after by a happy team of well-trained staff.
