Perfect location for heading to Pickering and catching the steam train to Whitby. We had originally booked the old lodgings (which is their accommodation down the road) upon arrival we were offered an upgrade at no extra cost to stay in the main building, but hi h was brilliant. Room plenty big enough and spacious bathroom too.

It’s not a don’t like, but the building is obviously very old and holds a lot of character. There were a few damp patches on the ceiling and the room had an old musty smell. This honestly wouldn’t put me off staying again and play on booking for this coming June for York races!

When I booked, I had booked a room in the annex which is further towards the centre of Malton. When we arrived to check in, we were upgraded to a beautiful room in the main hall overlooking the garden. It was huge with four poster bed, original shutters at the window, sofa, bath in the bedroom plus separate huge shower room/toilet. It is a very historic building and I liked the fact its history was in the folder in the bedroom. It is easy to walk into Malton Square and there is a bus stop outside where the Coastliner to Pickering and Whitby stops. The staff on reception were delightful.

There is no getting away from the fact, this is an extremely old hall so keeping on top of things will always be a never ending struggle. It would benefit from a make-over but that did not detract from the experience.

Beautiful place that had everything we needed and very close to shops. The staff was wonderful and welcoming and we was given a free upgrade. Me and my little boy was spending a day at flamingo land so we hopped on the bus that comes straight outside the hotel for £4 both ways. The location itself is fabulous and the gardens are beautiful I just wish we had stayed longer than 2 nights.

our room was directly above the entrance so people used this area to smoke and because it was so warm we had the window open all the time so we had cigarette smoke blowing in which was unpleasant.

Beautiful place, very quiet peaceful venue with gorgeous gardens and amazingly luxurious rooms. My fiancée and I had the best sleep ever! The staff are amazingly helpful too - you can order flowers, chocolates and champagne ahead of your visit if you email them and they'll happily ensure it's all ready and waiting for your arrival. As for food: the dinner menu seems to change each month so the menu on their website isnt accurate anymore, and the options are limited but that clearly allows them to focus on making each dish perfect because our meals were absolutely delicious. Also their selection of alcohol is fantastic - my fiancée and I now have a new favourite wine and gin!

Zero complaints, it was a perfect stay.

Location excellent for Malton town centre, York and nearby attractions. Age of the building. Good food, (we had salmon, steak and the roast of the day)) great breakfast menu, and ambience. Cosy feel to the public rooms. Ground floor bedroom and separate sitting room great for mobility impaired. Good parking on site and spacious garden to enjoy. Have stayed twice and will again.

The lack of basic maintenance in our room. Just needed an extra push to make it super. Odd cobweb and a tear in the curtain...that sort of thing.

We arrived on Friday at the main old lodge hotel, On arrival on the Friday the lady on reception was very helpful, I explained Sunday we would be checking out and moving down to the old lodge as I’d booked an extra night and my partner had booked the original stay at the main hotel. She was very kind and said no need to move we will match the price and you can keep you room in the main hotel. The room was very pleasant the bathroom was huge!

The room as nice as it was could do with some decorating there was some mould around the windows and in the bathroom but understanding this is an old property The bathroom was massive but almost a seperate toilet in there without a door I think a door would be a nice add

Dinner was a bit of a disaster, ordered bread, tomato and garlic as a sharing starter, got a pizza, not what we expected. I ordered fish and chips, however the the batter was undercooked. Husband ordered a burger, which was a stack, but the bacon in the stack was undercooked. Breakfast was OK, but a bit bland, some might say there's not a lot you can do with smoked salmon and scrambled eggs, but there is. There was fresh fruit, but no jug of cold water. However the room was very comfortable, and we will probably stay here again, just go out for dinner.

Evening meal, as above.

The building and the grounds were beautiful! The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were upgraded from staying in the annexe to a suite, which was very nice. Overall, I would recommend staying here as I feel it was value for money.

The room could do with a little updating/redecorating as it looked a little tired; however, it can often look like this in old buildings. If I'm being honest, I thought breakfast was a little too expensive.

The beautiful house just 100m from where my sister and I lived as children 70 years ago. We thought it was haunted then as no one seemed to live there.

The plumbing is a bit hit and miss as you would expect in a house that old. That was part of its charm.

Loved everything about this place me and my partner was shocked at how beautiful it really is the room we stayed in was called the boardroom oh my word unreal !! We will deffo be coming again !!

Only thing that got us with our room was there was a lot of ladybugs around the inside of the windows floor and walls even with the window closed they still managed to get in but the room was just to stunning to even care
