A friend and brother firefighter arranged accommodation for my Mom and I on my most recent visit to North Yorkshire (my fourth, Mom's first). What a great place! Our rooms were top notch, the structure itself and its history are fascinating, wonderful gardens. Breakfast was fantastic and carried me through the day. The staff members I came in contact with were lovely in every regard. Highly recommend!!!
Excellent. Starting with great parking. Lovely grounds, really good period building, sensitively changed to a hotel. Good welcoming staff. Great room with four poster, lovely modern bathroom, bar great service, dinner, what can I say. Good varied menu. Food was excellent both for dinner and breakfast. Lovely location if you are going to go to Castle Howard. Milton and Old Melton delightful towns
We got married here 7 years ago on New Years Eve and came back yesterday for afternoon tea, reminded of why we picked this venue in the first place lovely venue and setting the the new refurbishments only enhance it. What really makes this place is the staff, amazing service, so friendly nothing is too much trouble always go the extra mile. Thanks for making our 7 years memorable!
A lovely Sunday lunch for my parents 50th wedding anniversary...the service and food were excellent...nothing was too much trouble...beautiful surroundings...a great place I would definitely recommend it!!
This is my favourite hotel, been many times with family, romantic break and also with a group of friends and not once been disappointed. Impeccable surroundings, fantastic food and amazing staff. I cannot rate this place enough. Love it.
Amazing place to go anytime with friendly staff and great food with great sights east or west and a really nice market town you have to visit it to believe it and when you get there Eileen is the most friendly person you can think of and will try and do anything for you
Absolutely amazing place , so clean and staff can’t do enough for you , the meals were lovely and our room was cosy and comfy , would definately visit again we’ve had such a lovely weekend
My husband took me for a birthday treat .room was amazing and bathroom was bigger than our house
Good food . Drinks a bit pricey.
Would definitely recommend this �
What a lovely hidden gem..food fantastic. Staff lovely..will definitely be returning..thank you The Old Lodge. X
Had my brother's wedding this past weekend! Fabulous place, great service and more importantly comfortable beds 😜!!! All needs were catered for and the day ran very smoothly. Would recommend to anyone thinking of having a function there!
Beautiful hotel in gorgeous surroundings. Had a delicious meal at lunch time. Very friendly and polite staff on reception. Took us through to the bar. Reduced menu due to kitchen being refurbished. Still numerous and excellent choices.
For a special occasion, couldn't get better. The waitresses were courteous and friendly. Nothing too much trouble.
We had a wonderful weekend of partying with friends & our dog was welcome too. Highly recommend this wonderful hotel with its beautiful gardens & listed building . The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The rooms were lovely & Cosy.
Lovely superior double room and fantastic breakfast. Gardens are lovely even in winter.
The annex room is great and its only 2mins away from the hotel. The staff are very helpful at every turn. Thanks for making us feel very welcome.xx best wishes Jack and Lisa Campbell xx

Enjoyed our stay and an easy five stars.
Best bits:
* The establishment - including its grounds - oozes history and character
* Upgraded room with massive jacuzzi sized bath (and bathroom) along with separate shower
* Fascinating local in the hotel bar who owns a nearby village (downgrade from his family half of Yorkshire a couple of centuries ago but it'll do). Won't go into more details due to discretion, indeed it is only his openness that gives me moral permission to post this. But if you like people you'll love him. And Hugh if you're reading the member of Genesis we'd both forgotten the name of was Peter Gabriel!
* Great staff - really lovely and helpful. Unfortunately I didn't get any of their names otherwise I'd mention them, but we liked literally everyone - either they went out of their way to help us or would have done if we'd needed them to.
Not so great:
* Hot water supply to said room needs upgrading - it's plenty to fill the massive bath or the shower, but it's not enough to refill it.
* Supper's not bad but should be better (I can see why that would be hard at the current prices - so just put them up!). Didn't try breakfast so can't comment on that.
Random observation neither good nor bad:
We stayed for three nights and while there was definitely housekeeping going on, they didn't go to our room. Am not bothered about that cause firstly like I said the staff were great and I'm sure we could have asked for housekeeping if we'd wanted it, and secondly the rooms were huge but it did mean we felt a bit guilty leaving three days worth of rubbish. Maybe we just need to learn to make less rubbish :D
Cracking hotel with ample free parking, the staff we encountered on our visit were very friendly and informative, it’s a great base to explore the East coast and many other little villages around there then on the night time you can walk into Malton and have some nice food and drinks at the local bars. We had a lovely 2 night stay and I wouldn’t hesitate staying here again.
Went for a 70th birthday and we were given a private room. That food was really good and they couldn't do enough for us. So a big thank you and we will be booking again.
Immaculately clean, huge comfortable bed, bedroom and ensuite.
Well presented and served tasty food at dinner and breakfast.
Super staff and fabulous atmospheric building.
Not the first time here, nor the last!
First class dining and very warm and friendly front of house staff.
The steak was one of the best I have ever had.
The Old Lodge is such a stunning building. Full of character and history. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff have been so cheerful and helpful.
The staff came to my aid a year ago.
My parents are in their 80's. My father had suffered with dementia for 6 years. They hadn't had a holiday for a number of years. I rang The Old Lodge explained our needs, we trialled a night.
I can't thank the staff enough.
We've been back 5 times and have booked again
We love the place.
I stayed over with my children and their partners to visit Flamingoland.
They all want to stay at The Old Lodge again.
We have enjoyed the breakfasts, evening meals and afternoon teas.
We will keep returning
A great place to stay , apart from the accessible rooms which aren't really and very dodgy WiFi .
Service is 5 star and the food tastes delicious 😋
Went to a reception here for a family funeral. Lovely surroundings and peaceful atmosphere. Buffet was excellent. Tea and coffee available all thetime and non-stop replenishment of food. Polite,helpful staff who were attentive but respected the occaision.
Staff were really good and friendly. Food was very good. The room we had was an upgrade and was really good
Lovely wedding,great food and the staff were great.
Four stars, one lost for the following. How I wish hotels would utilise summer duvets, in preference to the wrong duvets, as in a winter duvet, too hot to be under in September, yet too chilly to be thrown off, leading to a disturbed night's sleep as was the case and reported to reception here at The Old Lodge. What a location, what a building, what a (tired darkly lit) room and yet everything worked well. Lovely grounds wirh ample garden seating, and with safe parking. The service from reception to dining room and onto checking out was impeccable in its friendliness and efficiency.
3.5/5
The lodge is situated in a great location if you’re planning on visiting York and exploring the Moors.
We booked a room in the Old Lodging building, but were checked in one of the Feature rooms, which was a nice bonus.
The lodge gives off a Downton Abbey vibe, but “on a budget”. It would have been so much more impressive if the owners kept it up.
We were finding dead bugs and cobwebs everywhere around the room, breakfast was served a bit cold and we had to wait quite a bit.
I’d say it’s more like a 3 star hotel. The main thing that makes it a 4 star are the bathrobes provided in the room.
Despite many people staying at the same time as we were, it was very quiet and we never heard any noise from the street or inside the lodge.
Entrance to the property is easy to miss, so pay attention when approaching it.
