Long waits between courses (we had to ask to get our table cleared between all the courses) and ask where our entrees were. A server came over after the entree and asked how it was "the vegetables weren't cooked and everything was late". "oh" she said. "Anything else"?. And she walked away. That summed up the experience. They basically don't care. Thanks for ruining my 94 year old mothers Mothers Day (let's hope it wasn't her last) and next year we'll go somewhere that actually cares about their customers).....

Hotels like this a real gem, every single member of staff were knowledgeable about the area, hotel and food they were also very polite and very friendly.

Just a quick update to shower further praise upon Hambleton Hall following a recent meal. First,…read morethe food was just as amazing as usual. My 'Assiette of Spring' was a celebration of the season with purple sprouting, asparagus, morels, wild garlic and a slow cooked hen's egg combining into a wonderful visual and sensory delight. This standard was more than followed in the following courses of locally reared Veal (with sweetbread raviolo & more morel mushrooms) and a white/dark chocolate pave. Second, the wine was superb. The sommelier managed to find the perfect match for my relatively light veal dish, and my companion's richer duck and venison mains which was so delicious that I have already looked up where I can buy some more locally. Third, a member of staff went far above the call of duty by driving us the ten minute drive home when we were left stranded in Hambleton with no taxi available for more than 1 1/2 hours. This kind of commitment deserves to be shouted from every corner and I duly intend to do just that!

This review is for both the hotel and the restaurant. The…read morerestaurant is a lovely restaurant, it has an appreciation for the history of the building with the comforts of modern day decor. Definitely upscale, nice for important family events. Seems geared to the 50+ crowd (which is fine by me!) The food is good and if you're staying at the hotel, it's quite convenient. My Royal Eggs Benedict was nothing exciting, but fine. Maybe my expectations were too high. The fried fish sandwich was also good. Coffees were good. No complaints, just nothing that made me think "Wow!". The restaurant just updated their menu for the Fall season - so if you've been here before, maybe take a look again to see what's new. This is our second time staying at the hotel. It's always very clean and the staff is attentive. It can't be easy running a business out of a centuries-old building. I give them credit for keeping the historic feel while maintaining the standards of 21st century hospitality (and plumbing!) Our shower, in particular, was luxurious. Also there's a nice set up of teas, coffee and Nespresso, with milk packets and biscuits (cookies). We overlook the path to the car park outside, there's good natural light along with blackout curtains for when you need to sleep in. If you need a place to sleep several guests/family members, and then host a brunch in the morning, this would be perfect.
