We were located in Ryalux, which is a small, ground-floor room with a lowish ceiling and a double bed. The complex is in a converted stable block. The bed was comfortable, but the room had various drawbacks: there was no carpet or rug, merely wooden floorboards, which, for older/disabled people such as me, causes difficulty. There were no comfy chairs, merely one swivel chair in front of a desk/dressing table. There was no wardrobe, merely a short hanging rail in a corner. There was little storage space, which meant keeping things on the floor, with the result that I never went beyond the entrance area. The fridge was a plus point but was located in the kneehole of another desk without a chair on which the coffee/tea-making equipment was situated. The en-suite was well appointed, but the over-bath shower was difficult for me to access, owing to no suitable handles or bath mat. In order to heat the room to a suitable temperature, we had to use the air conditioning, since the radiators could not be adjusted. The modern light switches took some getting used to. On the plus side, the setting was pleasant, parking very easy and close by, and the breakfasts were superb. The staff were friendly and helpful. The WiFi was good, but there was no O2 phone coverage. Our experience could have been improved by a carpet in particular and two comfy chairs.

Amazing setting. Saddle room restaurant not open on night we stayed so ate at pizza place across the car park. Also fantastic. Beautiful room and lovely facilities. Breakfast was delicious with super helpful staff. Can’t wait to stay again. Very good value.

We have had a super 2 day break at the Saddleroom. Immaculately clean accommodation, fabulous food and such friendly staff. The surrounding countryside is stunning. Have a stroll round Middleham if you are interested in horses. There is usually some to see going up onto the gallops.

We arrived late after a disastrous day (which resulted in an afternoon in A&E), we had received a call en route asking what time we might arrive and the lady was so kind when we said we running late and also kept our dinner reservation. We stayed in 'Teal' on a DBB basis, dinner as always was delicious, the room was so comfortable with all the amenities you need, coffee machine, fresh milk, luxury toiletries, fluffy towels and a fabulous shower with plenty of hot water. Breakfast was great, a small but fresh continental selection and some good options for cooked breakfast. Thank you for a lovely stay and for your staff excelling in customer service, we will stay again despite living about 10 miles away!

We stayed at The Saddle Room for one night for my birthday and we were not disappointed. The area is beautiful and there is so much to see in the grounds including The Forbidden Corner (open in season) and lots of country walks in the park. Our room was absolutely beautiful, spotlessly clean, fantastic drench shower, comfy bed, and a fridge (with fresh milk) . Every member of staff we encountered was very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Breakfast (included) was lovely, nice continental selection and a choice of cooked options. Our evening meal in the restaurant was lovely, nice atmosphere, again lovely helpful staff. We will definitely return, our weather was wet and cold but we still enjoyed, it will be fabulous in warmer weather.
