We have previously stayed at Tupgill Park and eaten at the saddle rooms a number of times and it has always been fantastic However we had the pleasure in September of staying for my daughter and her now husbands wedding which was amazing. We had a number of bed and breakfast rooms and cottages for the wedding party. They are really comfortable and were beautifully decorated. The Bell Barn was the perfect venue for the ceremony . We ate on the Friday night in The Saddle Room and also had breakfast here. Then had the wedding reception in The Hayloft. The food is excellent and we felt the portions were generous. The wedding breakfast was so tasty and plentiful. The staff here are so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The fact that the ceremony and reception plus the accommodation are all in the same place made everything so easy. It really is the perfect venue for a wedding but also a lovely place to stay and eat at anytime. The Forbidden Corner next door was an added bonus for the Sunday morning before we headed home. We would happily recommend you visit on any occasion or for a wedding. You won’t be disappointed

Having eaten in the restaurant before, and been impressed, an overnight stay at the Saddle Room was always on the cards. Pleased to say that is most certainly did not disappoint. Check in was as expected, efficient and friendly. Room was very well appointed and the fresh milk in the fridge was a nice point. Would have liked to see a couple more tea bags in the tray though! No complaints about the breakfast either, so would highly recommend a short stay at the Saddle Room.
Response from Property: Hi, Many thanks for your feedback and glowing review. Extra tea bags - noted - us Yorkshire folk love tea too! Should you visit again please note we are always happy to supply the tea from reception / restaurant if top ups are required. Hope to welcome you to Tupgill again soon.

Manager was rude and arrogant. Spoilt our vacation. Would highly recommend staying elsewhere, there’s a nearby village with plenty of hotels (cheaper too) and lots of nice restaurants and pubs.
Response from Property: Hi Rita, I can only assume that despite having spoken to you and your friend regarding your thoughts on our Sunday Roast Beef sandwich and giving you those complimentary that you didnt like that I wasnt in agreement. I'm not sure this warrants the label of rude and arrogant or how by not charging for the food you had ruined your stay. I hope you find an alternative place to stay in the beautiful Dales and return to enjoy the area but sadly not the Saddle Room. Thanks again.

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.

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.

Last weekend we held the wedding of my stepson at The Saddle Room. It proved to be a fantastic venue. Everything was 5 star. The staff created an intimate space for the actual wedding. The room was then opened to reveal tables beautifully decorated for the ‘breakfast’. The food was exceptional and the service of the same quality. We had an outstanding band for the evening’s entertainment to round off a perfect day. Our accommodation was in Swaledale Cottage which was very classy and other guests commented on the high quality of their cottages and rooms. This a hotel/wedding venue/ conference centre that I would recommend with the utmost confidence and thank the management and staff for making our visit a very special one.

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.

Gorgeous B&B room with all the things needed for a great stay. The bed was very comfortable and the room was very cosy but with plenty of space. The decor was incredibly beautiful with hard wood floors and a lovely bathroom. The bath was a bonus. The park and estate is beautiful to wander around in and I like that we were left to explore. An excellent location and easy enough to find using phone satnav (I remember this being another matter altogether 15+ years ago in the days before satnavs when I last visited!) The restaurant next door served delicious food, with excellent service from staff. The free morning breakfast was also delicious and great value for money when considering it was included in the price. My partner was very happy with the full English and I liked the more simple options. Staff were polite and quick to respond to any requests. The only slightly downside was the lights in the room were a little hard to work out but that may have been my fault for not reading the instructions carefully. The fridge did also make some clicking sounds every now and again but it did not impact my sleep. In fact, we both slept soundly with no outside noise and such a comfortable bed. We would absolutely love to stay again and I have already recommended this B&B and restaurant to several friends who commented that they love the Forbidden Corner.
