Overnight stop on our way north. Great location just off the A1. We really enjoyed our stay here, such a friendly place with the loveliest staff. The receptionist was funny and welcoming, the bar staff were great and the wonderful lady taking the breakfast order was a delight. The manager (Chris I think) was fabulous, so friendly and attentive. By chance, we were staying on the evening of their quiz (Tuesday). It's all done by mobile, meaning that we could eat dinner while doing the quiz and hosted by Chris. It was great fun, and it was obvious that there are a really nice bunch of locals who come for the quiz ( but the Tartan Travellers still managed a pretty decent third place!). The food was lovely, my wife and I both had the sea bass which was delicious, and the breakfast was really good. The bar and restaurant areas are really nice, with the only small gripe being the bedroom. It was definitely in need of a bit of an upgrade, and has a hole in the floor which my wife ( who has mobility issues) tripped on several times. We had to put toilet roll on the floor over the hole so that she could avoid it. This did not spoil our stay, the bed was comfortable, there are tea and coffee making facilities and as previously stated the bar and restaurant are great. A bit of tlc in the rooms would really lift the place. Overall a pleasant stay and the hotel should be proud of their staff if not the quality of the room!.

We are a couple celebrating our wedding anniversary. We pre booked our table for 7,30pm. We got there a bit early, but were able to be seated straight away. We were in Henry 111 restaurant. We were very impressed with the service we got from our waitress and others. I asked for no tomato and no onions on my burger, and that was clearly noted. The food was well presented and very tasty. We would definitely recommend it to everyone. We got married here, so to celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary was a very special evening.

We stayed at The Owl Hambleton one night ago, and I only just about feel recovered enough to write a review. The room was clean, staff friendly, and there were multiple sockets for all of our devices to charge overnight. No issues there. What scarred me for life, however, was the paper thin walls between our room and the couple’s next door. I had just settled into bed (which was far too soft, and i did struggle to get comfortable- I prefer firm mattresses. Husband slept like a log.), and I heard the rather loud arrival of the couple in number 4, all giggly and tipsy. They continued to talk and laugh loudly and then the noises became somewhat different. Moans and loud groans of pleasure emanated from them, at first quite fast and loud- the pounding must have been quite intense at that point- and then motion must have been slowed to a tease as the moans remained frequent, but with at least 3 seconds between each one, each getting louder and higher pitched. Now, this went on for a good twenty minutes and was quite uncomfortable to listen to. I felt like I was in the room with them for the volume they reached. What was most baffling was there was no sound from him, until a rather loud finish which sounded more like a garbled toe stub, and the woman never seemed to reach her happy ending, which after all the effort she put in throughout the duration of the show, I was slightly disappointed for her. I didn’t sleep until midnight due to this and the softness of the bed, which meant I was very tired the next day, where my next traumatic experience occurred. After a morning visit to the toilet, it blocked and would not empty out. I tried to look for a loo brush to dislodge the toilet paper and additional debris, but the bathroom did not have one. I didn’t fancy asking some poor staff member to come and unblock it, so I used the bin liner from the empty bathroom bin to cover my hand and arm and manually tackle it. All was fine unti I removed my hand and realised the bag had split and I’d been unblocking a toilet with my own bare hands. I don’t think we’ll be coming back to the Owl until walls are thicker and bog brushes are supplied in all rooms.

I was on my way home and just needed somewhere close to the A1. I was pleasantly surprised by the good size room, comfy bed and spotless bathroom. I’d had a difficult journey and the staff were lovely, helping me to relax. The receptionist found me a nicer room than my original booking and the barman had a nice chilled glass of rosé for me.

Stayed here for the weekend on the top floor. Receptionist very helpful and pleasant. Room recently renovated and brilliant apart from having no bulbs fitted in the lamps so it was a very BRIGHT room as only the ceiling lights working. ( The receptionist said it was because they had to re-order the right size bulbs?). Loved the new decor. Had a bit of a job managing to find channels on the tv but it was a nice big wall mounted one. Air con was good and heated the room nicely. Liked the fact that the windows opened. Bathroom small but very clean and adequate. Shower not that powerful. Corridors a bit too dark… could do with a lighter paint colour. But the bed… both the mattress and pillows…WOW… so comfy it was hard to get out of!! Cleaning staff helpful. Didn’t use the restaurant for evening meal or breakfast. Friday night it was totally empty and Saturday night it was heaving with a private party. We used the nearby restaurants to eat. We would definitely recommend this hotel.
