This is my favorite hotel in Malton! It just went through an extensive renovation which really…read moremodernized the place throughout. What I love about this hotel is that no two rooms are the same. Each one has its own distinctive charm & character. For this particular visit, I was lucky enough to get Room 9 down at the end of the property that overlooks one of the main traffic arteries into the heart of Malton. That said, this hotel is a series of interconnected buildings that are at least a few centuries old! No elevator (lift) here; you're gonna have to navigate some stairs. But it's all part of the beauty of this place. The restaurant here showcases the fact that Malton is The Foodie Capital of Yorkshire. All the ingredients are locally-sourced and super-fresh. Definitely try the English Breakfast! No wonder Charles Dickens would come to Malton to escape London! And it's highly possible he stayed here, as Chancery Lane is literally across the street and features the office used as the model for Ebeneezer Scrooge. Cool history! Also, back in the day, the Onassis family would rent out the entire hotel on their visits to acquire Thoroughbreds, so there's a very good chance Jackie stayed here, too!

Many moons ago I went here for training as a youth instructor. I mentioned in another review…read morelearning to canoe in Whitby Harbour with them. I tried to sleep on the back seat of a minibus on the way to canoeing as we had been out most of the night..rough terrain I almost ended up in the front seat. It was tough training..I got lost in the forest at 1am! I also had to get a team to the pub, by orienteering, before it closed. I made that one in plenty of time. I also remember my team (when we were on a clocked treasure hunt and had to get our time in) being told..you are the fittest. RUN! Later I went back as instructor with a group of 15 to 17 year old boys (about 14). Unusual for a female instructor to go with boys but no-one else would go with them. Other than the first night..when I was taking them all home in the morning..I became very proud of them over the time we were there. I got the usual treatment on the last day..they throw you in the river! I ran..eventually I gave up as I knew they wouldn't..two muddy buckets of water over my head later..in I went. Those days have gone but now anyone can go and stay in this beautiful forest setting. Cropton Forest Lodge (Cropton forest is a mainly coniferous woodland set on the edge of the North York Moors.) was originally built as Middle Head Farm, built around 1850. The farm consisted of the farmhouse and outbuildings, formed around a central courtyard. In the mid 1960's, the farm was used by schools, and youth centres, as an outdoor pursuit centre. In 1975, Humberside City Council took a lease on the property and redeveloped the cowsheds that were at the back of the farm to the stone and pantile accommodation block (the area now used as the B&B accommodation). The building was further extended in 1983 to provide a commercial kitchen, large dining room, lounge and lecture rooms. The Centre, known as Middlehead Outdoor Pursuit Centre, became a very popular place for schoolchildren and instructors alike, having a full assault course, (roped together in 6's) a purpose built climbing wall, cycling, canoeing, orienteering and a whole host of activities.. accommodating up to 60 children and 12 full time staff the place is a lot quieter these days! The Centre saw celebrities such as Hunter and Cobra from TVs 'Gladiators' here, and they have had many guests and visitors who came here as children and all had great memories! Moved into to the renamed 'Cropton Forest Lodge' in 2001 - the buildings had been empty for 3 years, and needed full refurbishment. In 2005, it opened for guests, offering a considerably more peaceful and comfortable accommodation than the bunk rooms and communal showers they started with - but hopefully still offering as much fun and enjoyment! Outbuildings are soon to be refurbished to provide gamesrooms and tutorial rooms for group bookings, walking, cycling and activities holiday talks, health and relaxation breaks treatment and yoga rooms, painting and photography studios. Not tried it yet hence the 4 stars (going on memories it would be 5) but if you like outdoor adventures then stay here.

Its quite a small shop, but seeing as they don't actually have stock to sell thats not a problem. The staff in there are always friendly, there seems to be a family feel to it. I went in last year and they were very helpful, helped me with every aspect of my journey so that I could save the most money, booking trains seperately rather than all in one go turned out cheaper! Because they are a local, one off business, you don't get the impression they're in it for the money as much. Obviously they have to make a profit otherwise it wouldn't work but they don't have targets for sales etc like major companies. They can usually find you a good deal as long as there is one available. Would recommend to anyone.
