The Round House

The most perfect 1 bed accomation you are likely to find and have the best owner too.

Plus the most comfortable bed I have ever encountered. Idyllic property

A wonderful stay at the 'Round House' Middleham, we cannot recommend highly enough.

Roger is a fantastic host, informative on local walks, best places to visit and places to eat. Nothing was too much trouble. Visits to nearby Leyburn, Hawes and Richmond are a must. We will definitely return even if it were just to enjoy watching the race horses training across the 'gallops'. It was lovely to watch the sheep too in the field opposite the patio.

This cottage is ideally placed near the main square in Middleham.

The cottage is situated within the grounds of the owners home and overlooks a kitchen garden and fields which are full of sheep. It is an ideal and we'll kept cottage which is very relaxing, with everything you need for your stay. Roger the owner made us very welcome on arrival and went to great lengths to ensure we learned everything we needed to know about the cottage and Middleham, as well as the surrounding area. We have no hesitation in recommending this cottage, you will not be disappointed .

This is my 3rd stay at The Round House & each time the standard of cleanliness and comfort have been the same high standard.

The property location is ideal for exploring the Dales with lots of attractions & walks within a short distance. Rodger & Hilary are charming, helpful hosts & knowledgeable about the area. I would definitely recommend this property & location

Our stay at the roundhouse was lovely, everything you needed was there, Rodger and Hillary are great hosts, would recommend it to anyone who wants to get away and relax, Dante arms pub excellent food

Beautiful surroundings, unusual cottage, warm and comfortable.

Lovely village , great walks and places to eat out. Good small shop, stocking all you need.

The Round House is a quirky, beautifully restored, gardeners cottage, set against the stone wall of the property.

It's well equipped, comfortable and thoughtfully laid out, in a quiet situation, overlooking a well maintained kitchen garden and a meadow beyond. Middleham is a pleasant small town, with a good local shop and a choice of pubs and restaurants. Roger and Hilary are excellent hosts and provided us with lots of good advice about local eating places etc. Very highly recommended.

We had a great time here - although small, it was amazing how much had been cleverly fitted into the space.

Very comfy bed. Nice patio area which, due to the weather, we didn’t make as much use of as we would have liked. Lovely to see the lambs in the field at the bottom of the garden! Very helpful host. We have already booked for next year; there is so much to see in the area!

Magical place to relax and chill.

Views from the garden are spectacular. Can’t fault the house just needs more of a thorough clean. Everything you need. Comfy bed, nice big white towels. Rodger is such a lovely man often asking if we needed anything. Very helpful on great walks near and far. Foodie places and pubs. Stayed 6-10th April weather was fab.

What a lovely little cottage!

So cosy and comfortable, great location and Rodger made us so welcome when we arrived. Very much appreciated being able to access the property early - especially as the rain set in not long after but we were snuggled up with the log burner on! Highly recommend this property and will definitely stay again in the future.

A very beautiful cottage set in lovely surroundings.

Middleham village and locals nice.Rodger the owner very helpful and a nice chap to meet. Would definitely recommend the roundhouse cottage and me and Jill would love to stay there again.

The house was warm on entry, the owner met us and made us feel most welcome.

It was compact, as we expected, but perfectly formed. Well equipped with everything working as is should.

Absolutely loved our weekend at the roundhouse , accommodation was first class and Roger was brilliant with local information, couldn’t have wished for a better place with great hosts, thankyou

Rodger was a very friendly and welcoming host, full of local knowledge about walks, shops and pubs.

From the warm welcome to our final departure the stay was brilliant.

Beautiful location and a stunning place to stay. So quiet and tranquil, and an ideal location to explore the Dales.

Excellent place to stay close to Middleham with a free parking approximate 40m from the roundhouse.

Roundhouse is a very comfortable place to stay small but lots of room for 2 people,the bed room was spacious nice decor the bathroom was a good size in fact the house had been well designed to gave maximum comfort. I’ve only one criticism the t v could do with an upgrade. All in all a great place to stay

Second time in the hosts cottages beautiful little cottage.

Very relaxing just sitting with a drink enjoying the view outside. Everything you need at hand pubs,tea room, shops and even a Castle. Visited Hymalyan Gardens and Aysgarth Falls both excellent in different ways.

Want an intimate place to stay to explore the Dales?

The Round House is a quaint petite abode ideally situated to visit the beautiful villages and towns in north Yorkshire and Dales. The village of Middleham houses several horse racing stables and it was a joy to see the stunning horses pass the window every morning.The owners Roger and Hilary are friendly and accommodating with lots of knowledge of the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Round House and the log burner fire kept us lovely and warm during our time there.

Mr.

and Mrs. Murray are fantastic hosts, very knowledgeable about the local area and were able to suggest some lovely walks taking in the beautiful scenery around Middleham. The Roundhouse is a very romantic place offering stunning vistas of the Yorkshire Dales from right outside the door. Middleham is a fantastic base if you want to visit Wensleydale Creamery, Aysgarth Falls, Forbidden Corner (great for kids and adults alike), or just go for long pleasant walks in the countryside, maybe taking a walk with an Alpaca too. You won't be disappointed if you book and feel sure that you will visit again and again. Just a wonderful experience, thank you.

Absolutely perfect property, everything you could want for a weeks holiday.

Rodger the owner was an absolute gentleman and very helpful with local information. Very peaceful, and a perfect base for touring the Yorkshire dales. The race horses going past the kitchen window every day was an added bonus , we definitely can't wait to go back again.

We had a very warm welcome from the owner.

Showed us around and gave us a few tips for trips to do around the area. The round house was beautiful and the surrounds. Very comfortable to stay in, everything you need is there. Would go back for another stay in a heartbeat.

We were well looked after by the owners and enjoyed a wonderful week at the cottage as a base for exploring the dales.

Excellent base for walks from the front door.

Close to pubs and eating places. Very friendly host. Local shop helps with your holiday. Would recommend this accommodation.

Excellent little home from home and great base for many super walks and village visits.

Perfect balance of support and space from the wonderful hosts Roger and Hilary. Thank you for a lovely week, Darren and Jutta.

The outside picture looks tranquil, it's described as quiet but it's not.

It's next to a busy road of cars, bikes and tractors. Not just during the day. We're use to quiet village with no traffic going by us. It has everything you need but it's quite snug. Ideal for a base. We did experience a problem with the shower stopping. The owner came and sorted it but unfortunately it happened again the next day. After driving 5 hrs, we were looking forward to a relaxing week to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary. Unfortunately it rained most of the week also. I'm sure it would suit those looking for a property in a small village.

The cottage is delightful and very unusual.

A petite and beautiful place for a couple to stay. You feel in the middle of the country but you are just a stroll away from the town square. We felt very welcome and appreciated the kind gift in the fridge. Wonderful walks from the door and nearby. A memorable holiday

Great cottage, wonderful location and a charming host; what more could one want?

Nice cottage with patio/outside space and it has everything you need, we enjoyed are stay very much

The property is a very snug little apartment for 2, but with everything you could need.

It is also set in a lovely garden with great views. The real plus is the welcome from Rodger & Hilary. They are very friendly and have lots of useful tips for places to visit, to eat and to drink

The property was just as advertised, and the location was excellent for touring the Dale's.

Our stay was made more pleasant because the weather was very kind to us because early October was so much better than the second half. My wife and I love meeting people and the owners were great. Roger was my kinda guy He made us welcome and went out his way to make our stay memorable. Simeon of Wakefield

Lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful setting.

We loved the place It was a perfect base to explore the beauty of North Yorkshire and Middleham itself has lovely pubs and if you love horse racing like myself you can see them walking past the window!

10/10

The Round House is a perfectly located getaway for two, right in the heart of the lovely town of Middleham yet tucked away in a quiet corner in beautiful grounds with its own private patio.

Roger was a great host, giving us information about the local area; the best places to eat and drink - of which there are many - and walks in the stunning northern Dales. He responded immediately to a slight issue with the property and could not have been more helpful. We had a very enjoyable stay and can highly recommend this property.

Great charming accommodation ideal for a couple.

Owner Rodger extremely informative and helpful with lots of information on pubs, places to visit etc. Shower and toaster a bit temperamental but added to the charm. Could be in the middle of the countryside even though it is in the village. Some nice pubs, our favourite was the Black Bull, about 50 meters from the cottage. The only thing which could be improved was a skylight in the bedroom which did not have a blind so the room was light by 5AM. However, this does mean you can get up early to watch the race horses train on the Gallops above the village.

My second stay at this quirky, compact and comfortable cottage, set within the gardens of the owners property.

It offers everything you need, the location in the middle of Middleham is perfect for enjoying the facilities of the town, the Castle and some fantastic walking without the need of a car. You are however within a short drive of some stunning countryside, pretty towns & villages and interesting Houses & Gardens. Rodger & Hilary are very welcoming hosts and I would thoroughly recommend a stay in The Round House.

Lovely, comfortable cabin with a beautiful view of the surrounding countryside.

Hosts were very friendly. Had an amazing week and would definitely recommend!

This property is ideally situated for visiting all the attractions in the surrounding area, and exploring the magnificent dales on walks of every level of difficulty should you wish.

The proprietors had thought of everything with regard to requirements and comfort, and nothing was too much trouble. We had an enjoyable week and the opportunity to really wind down and chill..

Roger welcoming and attentive.

Always happy to suggest walks and various venues of interest to visit and places to eat. We loved our stay in Middleham and the Roundhouse was perfectly situated. The welcoming bottle of wine was an added bonus.

Couldn't fault anything regarding our stay at the roundhouse!

It was a lovely break!

A very pleasant and enjoyable stay at this lovely and compact cottage.

Everything we needed was catered for and Roger was so helpful providing maps for our walking days. The bottle of wine was very welcome and Roger even provided a low alcohol beer alternative for myself. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend and would book again.

Excellent holiday cottage for two on the edge of the village with rural outlook.

Well equipped, clean and professional. Plentiful supply of logs to supplement the radiator heating. Roger is a very amiable host, lots of sound advice, he’s on hand if you need him but, leaves you to get on with enjoying your holiday. Good choice if pubs and walks on the doorstep. Limited light pollution if you enjoy a starry night. There’s a lot to like about the house and the area. Recommend.

The cottage was superb, every need catered for.

The host, Rodger, was extremely welcoming and very helpful.

Lovely cottage with amazing views over the fields.

Was a bonus being able to feed apples to the sheep. It is in the middle of the village but once you get through the gate you are in the middle of the countryside. Roger was the perfect host with lots of information about the area. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

Had a lovely week,very welcoming when you arrive and a lovely bottle of wine,cottage was really cozy with everything you need,clean and tidy on arrival.

Garden area was so relaxing.the area is very quite most suited to those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.would definitely recommend. The owner of the property Roger is a lovely guy nothing is a bother for him

Very nice place and a great welcome from the owner.

A little gem of a cottage set in wonderful gardens with delightful views.

Well appointed with everything you could need for relaxing holiday. Middleham is an ideal place for exploring the Dales. Would recommend.

Lovely feel to the cottage as soon as we walked in owners Very nice and helpfull with information about places Rodgers recommendations were spot on

Lovely quaint cottage in a stunning location.

It really is a nice place to sit with a drink of an evening and relax. The view of hills, the sound of sheep and the occasional clip clop of horse shoes walking past outside. Very idyllic. Rodger and Hilary were great hosts and keep a very smart and tidy Roundhouse. A little idea they have is a book inside where guests can share experiences of places to eat, visit, see etc in the area which is a very handy tool. Apologies we didn't write anything but we didn't have a pen, oops. Middleham itself is an extremely friendly and pretty place within easy reach of so many great destinations to visit and places to walk. Perfect place to stay to explore.

Had a great time at the round house, central to were we wanted to visit.

Comfortable accommodation with plenty of equipment catering etc nice position quiet yet near to village facilities.

Our host Rodger was very helpful with lots of information when asked. Would definitely recommend this accommodation

We had a great stay at the Roundhouse.

It is a lovely location and a cosy well equipped property with friendly helpful owners. Would recommend it as a great place to stay if exploring the Dales or just relaxing. Plenty of things nearby and/or only a few miles drive away.

Just perfect for us, great location, cosy comfortable accommodation, couldn't fault it, will definately return.

Just spent a relaxing first time in the Dales and we will be back in the summer to sample the delights of Roger and Hilary's very quirky roundhouse.

Roger couldn't have been more pleasant and helpful from the outset and we were made to feel at home right away. The views and the sunsets and sunrises are incredible and storms Dudley and Eunice decided to give us a miss which was nice of them so no dramas at all for the whole week. Middleham is a small village dwarfed by the Castle which looms above it. The Black Bull, The Richard 3rd and the Dante are 3 Inns all within yards of each other and although quiet at this time of year it is not hard to imagine summer nights sat outside with the very friendly locals...and to top it off a Chippy with Fish and chips to die for nestled in between them. Horses are the name of the game here and the village is surrounded by riding stables of several top trainers and horses being taken out to the gallops are a regular and pleasant distraction from the tractors. 5 minutes away is Leyburn...yet another pleasant village with more stores for local shopping. Who needs Spain when we have little gems like this on our doorstep? We certainly don't.

A new toaster is urgently needed There was a draught coming from the front door Shame there was no freezer compartment in the fridge

We had an extremely comfortable and cosy week in the Round House.

Rodger and Hilary are great hosts and have thought of everything. The cottage has everything you could need and is unique and special. Middleham is a great village and you are well placed to visit all that North Yorkshire has to offer. We will definitely be returning.

A very comfortable cosy cottage.

The owner made us very welcome and indeed helped with our luggage when we arrived. It is set in a beautiful area and is a good centre for walking and visiting the Dales.

Beautiful cottage in an idyllic location hosts very friendly and helpful lovely friendly village great location for exploring

The cottage was lovely and Rodger and Hilary were exceptional hosts; very friendly and very knowledgeable of the area.

They helped us in with our luggage and they were always on call. The bottle of wine was very acceptable. Will certainly book again if we are in the area and have no hesitation in recommending to friends and family. Sue & Colin

Lovely host.

Very comfortable property and a great area to visit.

Very welcoming host, great accommodation will definitely be returning.

The cottage was compact but all needs catered for.

Location ideal for exploring both the Dale's, Moors and slightly further afield the coast. Hosts were charming and did everything to ensure a comfortable stay, I would recommend this cottage for a holiday in North Yorkshire

Hi We stopped at the roundhouse during lockdown week .

Our holiday was reduced by 3 nights as we left wednesday morning in line with goverment restrictions. We haven't been offered any compensation from you which is disappointing . Thanks

Nothing went wrong, it was just that the instructions about parking my vehicle were misleading.

On arrival in Middleham I left my vehicle in the square and walked in under the archway as instructed in order to ascertain that I would have enough turning space for my vehicle, which is rather large, and naturally I expected that this would be where I was to park my vehicle for the duration of my stay. My host then explained that I had to drive down the main road and follow him as he was on foot. In all fairness, he did say that I was welcome to park in this lovely area with its trees and plentiful parking but it would then involve a walk down to the property, not convenient if one were carrying heavy bags. He then stopped in the road opposite the cottage and stood pointing to a small parking space at the end of a lay-by where several vehicles were already parked. This was to be where I was to park. Fortunately, I only experienced difficulty in finding this space empty once during my stay, but I would point out that it was a public car parking area and not a private allocated space as inferred in the property details and having to park there, whilst convenient for the cottage, was not as I had been led to believe from the details that had been supplied to me.

Lovely welcome and some local information on hostelries, area and places of interest.

Lovely secluded spot and very bright and clean property.

Such a lovely location Roger and Hilary were the perfect hosts.

Beautiful roundhouse. And a bottle of commentary Red wine was a perfect touch. Everything was perfectly on point.

I would recommend this delightfully cosy cottage to anyone.

The owner was very welcoming and made us feel at home straight away. The cottage has everything you need and the location is excellent for exploring the area.

The accommodation was great, location excellent.

Hosts very helpful.

Perfect accommodation for 2.

Had everything we needed. Great location. All very clean. Friendly welcoming host.

Beautiful cottage with kind and welcoming hosts.

We had a brilliant time

What a fabulous cottage.

The layout and design are inspired, and everything was beautifully clean. Hosts were very helpful and informative. The round house is conveniently located for a wide area, with lots to see and do. The icing on the cake was the lovely comfortable bed!

Lovely cottage with very helpful owners, they gave us 3 suggested routes for days out.

All 3 were brilliant, taking in the lovely scenery plus local attractions & towns on the way. The cottage itself is well equipped, comfortable, clean & has a private patio overlooking the garden & fields. Shop, coffee shop, fish & chip shop (very good) & pubs all within a short stroll.

We arrived very late on the Saturday evening, but the owners made nothing of it and texted information ahead to make it easy to park.

They were very helpful in terms of advising places to visit and even prepared to offer lifts in the area to support walks back to the village. When our vehicle developed a problem, they contacted the local garage for us and the service there was excellent. The accommodation itself was very comfortable with a lovely seating area outside which we enjoyed in the good weather.

The cottage is small, but extremely well fitted out with all the things necessary for an enjoyable holiday.

We did not meet Hilary one of the owners, but Roger her husband made an effort to meet us and was very helpful, giving us lots of information about the area. One evening he even gave us a lift for us to walk back home via a pub. All in all a great experience.

Great base for touring Yorkshire Dales with excellent local pubs/dining a short walk away.

The Round House is perfect for 2 people - comfortable and with everything we needed.

Every thing was excellent.

What a wonderful find in a lovely setting, walking great 2 walks straight from cottage.

Plenty of places to eat in village. Brilliant to see horses racing on gallops and returning to village each day. Owners could not have done more and always had time to talk in spite of being extremely busy. Will definitely return. Thank you.

This was a break over christmas which we have never done before, from the moment we met the owners we knew this was a winner, he help us with our baggage then proceeded to advise us on the area bearing in mind it was xmas week and somethings were already closed up.

the cottage itself is a gem, a bottle of wine on arrival, very warm with a wood burner and electric radiators, dishwasher, oven, toaster etc, we would love to visit again in the summer months as the general area is really lovely, a nice little touch was a small Christmas tree to make it more seasonal, thanks to the owners we had a great time. Gordon & Jeanette,Norwich

Absolutely lovely people who own the property.

Very helpful with where to go what to do. Ideally placed to visit the beautiful surrounding countryside. Place ideally situated for local amenities, pub & grub etc. Would definitely return.

Lovely quaint town we stopped in plenty to see and do

Feel so lucky to have discovered this little gem.

Your accommodation and grounds are so idyllic. Thank You Mr and Mrs Murray, would love to visit again.

enjoyed the peacefulness of middleham,the outlook from the roundhouse patio was so serene,also the owner Roger is the perfect host,made us feel very welcome.

Amazing holiday accommodation, the owners Rodger and Hilary Murray couldn't have been more helpful, so much to see and do in the area, we will be going back

Very good holiday cottage in excellent location for all village amenities four great pubs used them all plus very good local shop/off licence the cottage was nice and cosy just right for two guests and very friendly owners, wood burner needed for cold nights though, but no complaints all in all a excellent holiday experience.

Excellent cottage in superb location, very close to local pubs and places to eat.

Good base for touring the Dales. Friendly and helpful hosts and locals. Look forward to returning.

The owners were friendly and there to meet us and explain the property.

The location is stunning. A quiet gem of a place.

lots of lovely pubs and places to go nearby - quiet and peaceful woken by horses some morning on way to training very nice lovely

Lovely cottage in a secret garden behind gated wall.

Lovely hosts who were welcoming and helpful. Lots of walks, pubs and rhings to do and see nearby. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend!
