Middlethorpe Hall, York, is a William III country house, set in 20 acres of its own gardens and parkland, close to the city.
Built in 1699, it was once the home of the famous diarist, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. After a period of neglect, the Hall was sympathetically restored with decorations, antiques and fine pictures carefully chosen and consistent with the period of the house. The gardens and parkland have also been restored and include a ha ha's, a white garden, a walled garden, a small lake and some beautiful specimen trees.
The comfortable and fully equipped guest rooms, each decorated individually, are both in the house and in the attractively restored 18th century courtyard next to it.
The oak paneled dining room, overlooking the gardens and the imaginative food, follows the hotel's theme of traditional excellence. There are two rooms available for private luncheon and dinner parties.
A Health and Fitness Spa with an indoor swimming pool opened in 1999, in a subtly extended pair of Edwardian cottages opposite the Hall. There is also a small conference centre, known as the Barlow Room, with its own kitchen, ideal for meetings, receptions, exhibitions and private entertaining.
