  • "We absolutely loved our stay at Milton House."

    It felt so grand, but also cosy at the same time. Decorated beautifully and thoughtfully. Everything we needed and more, plenty of room for us all (4 adults, 2 children and a baby). Lovely walks from the doorstep, great tearoom next door and the little ones loved watching the horses walking through the village. We would 100% recommend this property.

    House well decorated for Christmas.

  • "Greta place to stay."

    Although the house is large it still feels very cosy and there are many rooms so you can always find a nice quite corner whilst having access to the other guest. The location within the centre of the village is ideally located with the shop across the road, the pubs within easy walking distance and the coffee shop next door. Also, great to watch the world go by and especially the daily parade of the horses.

  • "This is an incredible property, the nicest we have been in over the many years we have used holiday cottages."

    It has loads of space, is well laid out and furnished, and has a cosy feel, especially when you get the log burners going. The property is very well located for walks across the Eastern Dales, and with Leyburn close by you have all the amenities you need on a holiday. The Coverbridge Inn is only a 40minute walk over the hill, and has great real ale, lovely food and a really friendly and cosy atmosphere. This is a great property.

  • "We had a week’s stay in beautiful Milton House with a welcome pack on arrival."

    It was home from home with everything you needed. The lounge was bright with large comfy seating and a wonderful dining room with plenty of space. The 3 bedrooms were roomy with ample storage. The kitchen was well equipped with top quality crockery and appliances . Would highly recommend this property and will be returning next year for our second visit.

  • "We enjoyed a lovely few days at Milton House."

    The house is clean, comfortable and characterful. It is also very well equipped with thoughtful extras included and even our anxious rescue dog felt at home there. Great walking around the area. We have already booked again for December.

  • "A very impressive house, attention paid to every detail."

    Highest quality fittings and furnishings, fantastic rooms, and bathrooms. Wood and coal provided for the fires which felt very homely on a late September night. Middleham is a brilliant location. It felt like home and the interior design features were impeccable. All that you could want and more - we could not fault the property and it deserves a rating of 10 stars were there to be such a thing - 5 stars doesn't do it justice. We would go back to Milton House again in a heartbeat.

  • "This is the second time we’ve stayed at Milton House and our stay was great."

    The house is beautiful, clean and very comfortable. The owners have provided everything you could possibly need and Middleham is the perfect place for an early autumn holiday.

  • "Milton House was the perfect place to stay whilst exploring Middleham and North Yorkshire."

    The location couldn't be better with a view of Richard III’s castle and the main street, where the racehorses trot by every day. The rooms were spacious and clean and the estate manage was friendly and helpful when the dishwasher malfunctioned. We lived the pictures of naughty dogs and the games provided for our amusement. We also appreciated the recommendations of places to visit, which were brilliant, although we couldn't fit everything in! We would definitely book again if/when we return to Middleham. Thank you.

  • "Everything about the house and the location lived up to and even surpassed our expectations."

    Possibly one of the nicest places we have stayed. All the facilities are of the best quality and the interior of the house has been thoughtfully designed and decorated. So all of this yet still comfortable and we felt immediately at ease. A great kitchen with everything you could want for cooking - (it does need a tea strainer for oldies like us). Obviously a dog friendly house. One idea would be a stair gate to stop enthusiastic dogs charging straight upstairs - although there is a side door to use to prevent that. We had two fledgling blackbirds in the courtyard all week so we couldn't easily use that space - but we enjoyed watching their progress and the parents comings and goings. Both fledged the day before we left. Middleham is a very pretty village, great beer down the road and the best fish and chips a few doors down. It was wonderful to watch the daily procession of horses on their way to the gallop. An easy 3 mile round walking route from the door through the most pretty and flatish countryside which we did everyday and watched curlews, skylarks and lapwings. The location of the house is perfect for exploring the surrounding villages and towns with Leyburn barely 5 minutes away for supplies from small independent shops which we much prefer. We had a exceptionally relaxing and enjoyable stay.

  • "Beautiful house with all home comforts-we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there."

    Can't think of anything negative to comment on. Location is great too-fantastic view of the castle from the back of the house. Our Grandson (nearly 3) loved watching the horses passing the front window on the way to their gallops. There are several pubs in the village and an excellent fish and chip shop. Also a good general shop which is open early 'til late. We bought some delicious local sausages there.

  • "Sublime. Quality I would expect from somewhere twice the price."

    An absolute gem. Great choice in fixtures and furnishings, well produced 'manual' with great level of detail for all the appliances, local walks and restaurants. 6:30 am for the horse parade past the front of the house as they leave town stables for the gallops. Don't forget your binoculars as it is a great spot for wildlife. We have visited Middleham and stayed in other properties, this beats them all. And providing the pubs stay open, Middleham will always be high on our list.

MIDDLEHAM

Leyburn 2.5 miles; Richmond 12 miles.

The attractive Wensleydale town of Middleham is renowned for its history and race horses. Much of the history is bound up with its Norman castle, which dates from 1190 and has a castle keep second in size only to the Tower of London. The horses are a great sight as they make their way to the gallops every morning. The pretty market square is partially cobbled and offers a range of shops, pubs and places to eat. The bustling market town of Leyburn is just a short drive away offering a variety of great shops and pubs, or why not take some time to explore The Forbidden Corner, a unique labyrinth of tunnels, chambers and surprises set amidst 4 acres of grounds, providing a fun day out for all the family? All in all a superb base for exploring Wensleydale and all within easy driving distance of York, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales and Heritage Coast.
