Wood Hall in Leeds

Arrived after a bad journey full of motorway diversions on Sat 7th Sept for a 2 night break. The staff on reception were extremely pleasant and welcoming and offered us some prosecco which we sipped in the lounge overlooking the garden which made us relax straight away.The hotel and grounds are beautiful the breakfast was particularly good. We also booked an afternoon tea on our first day and relaxed with meals in the bar which again were really good after full days sightseeing.We really couldn't fault the service and attentiveness of the staff without it seeming too pretentious, the rooms were large and catered for everthing and extra touches make it a lovely place to stay we would definitely recommend and will return again hopefully in a few months before Christmas.

We stayed at Wood Hall Hotel for 2 nights,to celebrate my husband birthday is our second visit to this beautiful hotel and we always have enjoyed, just want to say a big thank you to all the team but...a special thank you to Will in the bar Max , Fernanda and Ellis in reception We will visit again 👌😊

Stayed here for the night with hubby when we were visiting friends. Checked in after 3pm having driven from Glasgow. They offered us a glass of sparking wine but declined as we were driving so cuppa tea instead. Check in was fine despite not being told when's breakfast or anything else for that matter. We literally got our tea brought to the room, then went out to meet friends. Came back after ten pm and ordered some drinks. Took them thro to the library but noticed the tables have not been cleaned as yet. Breakfast in the morning was good. It is still a grand hotel, with amazing views but you can tell there are tired places. Our room on the second floor was fine, nothing too special

This is a beautiful hotel in stunning countryside with lovely gardens. The gentleman who was greeting guests and helping with luggage is a real asset to the hotel. First impressions immediately one of being looked after. My initial email enquiry about the booking was answered very quickly and a few requested changes to drinks/ sandwiches were readily accommodated. The afternoon tea was excellent. Lovely soft bread for the sandwiches, warm scones and pastries and beautiful cakes. There were just some missed opportunities- it was my birthday and this had been stated on the initial enquiry but there was nothing done or said to acknowledge that. No one came to check if we wanted more drinks- we had to get up and search for a member of staff to ask for more water and when we asked for more coffee, it didn’t come and we had to ask again. Having said that, the staff were all friendly and helpful and it was a very nice experience.

Fabulous stay at this lovely countryside hotel. Attentive staff, nothing too much trouble; good food, very nice spa pool & everything was so clean.

A lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. I had a pleasant stay. The Service was generally very pleasant and friendly and there were nice touches like a glass of fizzy wine when you arrive. We stayed for the tasting menu and for a dinner on the second night. The food was generally good but the timing of the service of for the tasting menu was unfortunately a bit off-beam, it was a three hour sitting (though it feels very churlish to knock a star off for this). The room was immaculately clean and the bedding comfortable, lots of lovely small touches too. I would return.

This is a fantastic hotel, we stayed in the Chesnut deluxe room which has great views out across the countryside in front of the hotel. Every single member off staff that we interacted with were extremely professional and couldn't do enough for you. The restaurant food was excellent whether it be the breakfast, lunch or evening meal it was all great. Can't praise the hotel and staff enough we had a fantastic visit to Wood Hall. This will be on the revisit list for sure.

The nicest staff I’ve ever met at a hotel! From being met at the door on arrival by a lovely young man who couldn’t do enough for us, carrying our bags, helping with parking, glass of Prosecco, extremely polite and friendly We had a tour of the hotel and were escorted to our room where our bags awaited us Great barman, very friendly, efficient and professional, All the staff were amazing Dinner was perfect, breakfast I couldn’t fault it, there must be a great chef here Quite a quirky set of staff, nice family vibe, nice people, Could do with bottled water in the room rather than a glass bottle filled with tap water and a nice brand of shampoo etc in the bathroom would be nice, but the food and staff are the best I’ve ever had in a hotel so we will definitely be returning

My daughter got married at woodhall. It was the best experience ever. The staff were wonderful and very helpful. Food was delicious. All the guests loved the place, elegant and peaceful. Definitely will be booking it again for my sons wedding too.

I ate in the lounge with my family this evening. We ordered a pizza, a burger, and bangers and mash. The mayo came out slathered in mayo, which was not listed in the description. I attempted to remove the mayo myself, but it was absolutely everywhere. When I asked the server about the mayo, she went to check with her manager. The manager came out and proceeded to argue with me about the mayo, claiming it was burger sauce that was 100 percent free of mayo. This “burger sauce” clearly has a mayo base, at minimum, but he didn’t seem to care. He did not offer to have a fresh burger made free of his mayo monstrosity. He just walked away. After about 10 minutes he came over and asked if I wanted something else, but the absurd argument had already ruined my meal. This was horrific hospitality, and I suggest anyone that wants to have an enjoyable evening stay far far away from the horrendous customer service here.

Great place, staff very friendly. Amazing views.

Excellent location, friendly and welcoming atmosphere and staff.

Beautifully located hotel. Beautiful views. Very nice service, wonderful breakfast with a view. Great idea with snacks and water for the journey. Thank you for a wonderful time spent with the children.

On what was our first visit, we discovered that the location and view are understated. Absolutely beautiful Yorkshire surroundings. The staff are all so welcoming and informative. Shout out to Gabby, for speedy and efficient cocktail bar service. We enjoyed the restaurant atmosphere and the meal was not disappointing. Hopeful for a return visit because the view from the drawing room (formally a library) is worth it alone. Made complete with extremely thoughtful touches, from a prosecco on arrival to a gift bag of drinks and fruit on departure.

My friend and I had a full body massage on Jan 2nd, with Emily and Alyscia. The experience was very good. Alyscia's was one of the best I've had. Lovely! Thank you.

Fabulous overnight stay Great welcome on arrival. Lovely oldy worldly surroundings. Hand picked Hotel. Had a lovely lunch in the bar on arrival. Delicious 5 course tasting menu in the evening. Lovely atmosphere/ambience Thoroughly enjoyed our treatments. Samantha, Alicca and Louise on reception

What a wonderful hotel, tucked away in beautiful countryside. Travelling down the narrow lane to get to this hotel you first of all notice the amazing houses along one side. Arriving at the hotel (early) we decided upon lunch outside. We were given a welcome drink of sparkling wine, which was both unexpected and delicious. Receptionist was a most charming lady who brought the drinks out to us. Lunch options were plentiful. We decided upon a light (starter size) pulled pork tacos along with a side of chips. The tacos were quite frankly the best we’ve ever had, small, beautifully presented and above all tasty. Excellent chips. The room was lovely, very pretty, a great size, with a little sitting area with comfy chairs. Large bathroom. Bed super comfortable. Staff very welcoming and attentive. Breakfast was good. Kudos to the lovely lady serving breakfast, she was under a great deal of pressure as absolutely everybody decided to come to breakfast at the same time. However she maintained a calm air and still managed to be attentive. We did one of the hotels recommended walks (they have a laminated card giving directions to several walks), which ended up being great fun, the area is beautiful and quite unspoiled. I’d love to come back to this hotel and stay for dinner. When we departed we were presented with a little goodie bag. This contained two delicious green apples, two oaty dark choc bar with coconut and two bottles of water. As it happened we had a long journey with some heavy traffic and the goodie bag ended up being a life saver. Never had a goodie bag before, great idea, loved it. I’d absolutely recommend this hotel.

My wife and I stayed at Woodhall for our 24th anniversary on Monday 31st July.  We had booked a room that allowed us to take our 2 dogs; one of which had just had a serious operation on her leg so was not supposed to use stairs. My wife rang what we assumed was Woodhall ( but now wonder if it went to a central HPH number?) to be absolutely sure we had a ground floor room. She was assured that there ‘were no stairs at all’ and the room was on the ground floor. When we arrived the man on reception ( Richard) was very cold, unwelcoming and condescending on his attitude - I said we had a booking for a ground floor room with our dogs - I was told there were no ground floor rooms  (!) so I went to the car with the dogs and my wife who had been assured re the booking went to reception. He was apparently totally unapologetic and rude saying only ‘well madam I don’t know what you want me to say ‘ -my wife was visibly upset and he offered no apology and when asked if there was another way to our room she was bluntly told no! At this point we nearly turned around and left but luckily what we considered your star employee at the venue .Natalie, appeared and did everything she could to make things right - she couldn’t understand how we had been told about the room but showed us an alternative route which was less stressful for our dog who managed to negotiate the stairs. Our room was lovely so no complaints there .  We decided to have a snack lunch and I ordered a club sandwich but after some time was given a steak sandwich ( and were the only people in the lounge) luckily Natalie was able to intervene . We then were concerned about our dinner reservation as we had booked the tasting menu but the leaflet in the lounge said it wasn’t available on a Monday- when I queried it I was told we had booked a 3 course meal! Again Natalie intervened and contacted the restaurant who said yes we had booked the tasting menu- by now we were rather hassled as you can imagine- when Natalie found out it was our Anniversary she kindly sent us a complimentary bottle of bubbles. When we arrived for dinner we were ( of course) handed the a la carte menu ! This was eventually sorted and the meal was excellent as were the serving staff. We checked out thankful for Natalie who saved the day ; in fact all the staff bar the receptionist were lovely. My , and your take out from this is that is a clear problem with miscommunication between your central booking and your  local hotels and attention to detail needs to be better - it cost us £500 for one night and for that price we expected a perfect stay - which it could have been with the right staff on reception and improved communication throughout . We’ve had no response from HP Hotels of course

Having not visited for some time, I was taken here by my daughter for a formal afternoon tea. On arrival we were asked to wait a short while to enable a wedding party to partially disperse. We were then taken to a dining room set out for afternoon tea. The selection of excellent quality food was sufficient and delicious. The service was friendly and attentive throughout. Additional tea and coffee were readily available. Overall an experience that is worth repeating.

This is a lovely hotel with exceptionally good food. We stayed 4 nights enjoying fantastic breakfasts with loads of choice and evening meals. I would say that it would have been nicer to have just a few more choices on the dinner menus but the quality of each meal was wonderful and we enjoyed it so much. The staff were very helpful, kind and professional, in particular Carrie the receptionist who is a real star. She goes so much more than just her job. Astute and caring we have to single her out, as the hotel is very lucky to have her. The area is lovely and as it was our anniversary, they even did a card and chocolates for us upon arrival. We will definitely go again.

What an experience, beautiful setting and helpful attentive but unobtrusive staff who emwere happy to help. The room was clean warm and beautiful. The spa was fantastic and the whole break was relaxing and a great recharge. Absolutely recommended.

I can’t say enough good things about our stay at Wood Hall over Christmas. The staff went above and beyond to be accommodating, welcoming, and helpful. When we first arrived in our rooms, they had left a gift bag for my son with Christmas goodies inside and a tin with Yorkshire treats. On Christmas day, there was a gift left outside for my son and tea and chocolates for the adults. It was such a nice gesture, and completely unexpected. Alex at reception was so professional, patient, and kind. The housekeeping staff did a wonderful job of keeping our rooms clean and tidy. I enjoyed a few spa experiences while I was there. Our practitioners, Katie, and Olivia were amazing! One of the most relaxing facials and massages that I’ve ever had. I brought a friend with me, and she agreed completely. I’m just so impressed by the thoughtfulness and care from this hotel. They truly made us feel welcomed over the holidays as if we were staying with family. I highly recommend!!

We attended a wedding here and it was wonderful! Check in was a breeze, so efficient and easy. Our room was spacious and clean, bathroom was very big, could do with an update but it was still nice. Wedding food was superb, very tasty and delicious! Brilliant night and would highly recommend for a wedding. Breakfast the next morning was fantastic too, we were all in the same room where the wedding was the night before, buffet breakfast with juices and water already on the table - finished off the wedding perfectly! Would stay again

We booked a spa day which included a 50 minute treatment and afternoon tea. The spa had a small swimming pool with around 10 loungers around the sides, a jacuzzi and a steam room. The hotel was well maintained and the staff were exceptional and couldn’t do enough for us. We each opted for a mini facial and massage which was lovely, then ate afternoon tea in the restaurant. We will definitely be returning!

Visited the spa for a celebration with friends. I can honestly say that the massage I received was the best I have ever experienced. Fantastic. We had a brilliant time enjoying the views from the outdoor seating while wrapped up in our robes. Louise was so attentive and lovely in all ways and made the experience extra special. Thank you for a lovely afternoon. I will certainly be recommending your lovely spa!

I visited the spa for a much needed Spa Package today. Can honestly say I had the best massage and facial I’ve had in a LONG time! I wish I had asked for the therapist's name when I left as I would highly recommend her. The customer service was fantastic from all the staff, well done ladies. The only downside was the steam room was out of use, but that is no fault of the spa ladies. I will be back! Thank you, Sarah.

This is not marketed or priced as an ordinary establishment. Rather it is aimed at a particular upmarket segment and charges reflect this aspiration. I had been previously, pre pandemic, for a happy 2 night stay with my wife. I now returned, finding myself on business in the general area and wishing to eschew "business" hotels. The restaurant was, as I remembered and the service was good, the food excellent. Occasional small lapses such as an empty salt cellar on the table were quickly remedied by the young staff member, who was delightful, if clearly not yet confident. But, nothing of any consequence and a thoroughly positive dining experience both at dinner and at breakfast. My concern relates to the cleaning of my room. I did not expect to find multiple cobwebs on the air conditioning unit and in the alcoves of my bedroom. This was a "superior" room, charged at superior prices! The room itself was reasonably clean but clearly no dusting had been undertaken on re-opening post pandemic. I drew the matter to the receptionist's attention at checkout and was rewarded with a questioning look and "sorry bout that - now your bill is....." response. Later I did an online feedback and again mentioned the issue. The Hotel Manager emailed me regretting the issue and telling me that next time I want to visit to feel I may email him directly so he can oversee my booking (this, I think, means make sure this troublemaker's room is checked before he starts looking for cobwebs). No refund. No offer of a future discount. No gift voucher. All the worst features of greedy corporate culture are clearly evident in dealing with, or as I see it NOT dealing with, a customer's legitimate concern. I won't be likely to return and that is more the fault of management and their hopeless, insincere response than it is of housekeeping and their inadequate cleaning of the rooms.

My good lady wife booked us for weekend visit to the hotel. Event was an "indulgence" weekend. Food and plants!. Weekend included tickets for Harrogate Spring Experience plant show and visit to local stately home. However, star of the weekend was the hotel and the fantastic food. We had upgraded our room so ended up with a huge room at the front of the hotel overlooking the Teepee the hotel had used to enable outside gatherings during lock-down. Also very nice view over the lawns. As the food for the weekend was not normal restaurant food I won't do a review of the restaurant. However - the skills of the kitchen team are in no doubt. Evening meals on Friday and saturday, and lunch on Saturaday, were absolutely superb. All staff at the hotel were great - friendly, helpful, welcoming, etc. Covid rules in place at the hotel were very good. Clear one-way systems, lots of hand sanitiser stations, dedicated table in dining room etc etc. Really was very good. Some lovely walks on public paths all around the hotel. Helped work off a little of of the fantastic food.

We’ve tried both outdoor options at Wood Hall - fabulous Thank you to the Wood Hall team for the great service and food during lockdown We loved the Woodland Walk coffee, bacon buttie and homemade biscuits during lockdown. Today we were lucky enough to have a Caesar salad and Cajun chicken burger in the teepee, great food and brilliant service from very cheerful staff. Looking forward to coming inside soon!

this is the most friendly hotel we have visited from the manager to the cleaning staff what a happy bunch they are going out of their way to make your stay, I loved the open spaces around the hotel I wish I was younger to take the lovely walks in the area, I had to settle for a swim and the jacuzzi before breakfast which was great both my wife and I have decided to return in the not too distant future

Booked an overnight stay for my husbands 60th birthday. We were treated like royalty! Amazing setting and beautiful building which you can see in the photos. What you can’t see is the customer service. They couldn’t be more helpful and attentive, breakfast was delicious. Our dog was truly pampered too - whilst making sure it didn’t impact on non dog owning guests. Best hotel I have visited in years.

I stay regularly at this hotel for buisness and they look after me so well! Fantastic food, the loveliest staff and the most beautiful building! Would highly recommend 😊

Reservamos para quedarnos 2 noches la semana pasada antes de que nuestra hija regresara a la escuela y terminamos reservando otra noche. El hotel tiene buenas medidas para COVID, usamos la piscina y el spa, que estaban muy limpios y bien diseñados para que las familias lo usaran. La comida en el restaurante de la noche fue excelente, comimos 2/3 noches.¡Felicitaciones al chef!Las habitaciones son lujosas y el personal de la recepcionista es realmente encantador.Gracias Nicola por la recepción, mi hija Holly se enamoró de ti.VolveremosLa familia Hunter Wood

Turned up Monday the 17th feb for my daughters 25th birthday spa day only to be told they had our booking but were meant to ring us on the 16th to advise us they were full. The reception staff were useless and didn't apologise for our hour journey which was wasted ! They didn't even offer any type of compensation other than that they could do a treatment in 6 hours time !!We were told to ring Treatwell direct for a refund ....There was no suggestions or offer of help and REMORSE is not in their vocabulary.... definitely somewhere to avoid ... There reception staff seriously lack skills in customer service and empathy Ruined her DAY!!!!!!!Thank you for nothing

Nuestra visita a la calle 1 fue una estancia de una noche. Este encantador hotel está situado en una hermosa zona rural con impresionantes vistas. El edificio antiguo tiene mucho carácter tanto externo como interno. Habitaciones individuales con nombre que son cómodas y tienen muchos toques agradables. Uno de ellos es un pequeño tejón lindo llamado Bobby en cada habitación, que es un símbolo del hotel. Con un pequeño comedor, bar y salón, pero todos eran muy acogedores y cómodos. Todo el personal fue muy amable y servicial. La comida en la cena y el desayuno fue excelente tanto en presentación como en sabor. Una verdadera delicia.No pudimos usar el Spa y el pequeño gimnasio, pero ambos parecían limpios, ordenados y acogedores.Estoy haciendo punto, pero la única razón por la que no le di al lugar 5 estrellas fueron algunas pequeñas críticas.Una de las toallas de baño de nuestra habitación estaba deshilachada en un extremo con un gran agujero.Todavía quedaba una cápsula de café usada en la cafetera de la habitación.Solo 2 pañuelos en la caja del baño.Aún quedaba agua vieja en la caldera de la habitación.Los problemas con los que nos encontramos fueron menores, pero deberíamos sentir que los hemos resuelto. En general, tuvimos una estancia fabulosa y sin duda volveremos.

Fuimos a un último día de spa con té de la tarde. Tan pronto como entramos en el edificio fuimos recibidos de una manera cálida y amigable. El día implicó el acceso completo a las instalaciones, un tratamiento cada uno y el té de la tarde. Las instalaciones eran buenas, solo la parte baja de la ducha rota (no es gran cosa). Piscina, baño de vapor y vestuarios muy limpios. El masaje fue increíble mejor que hemos tenido. El té de la tarde era hermoso y en un entorno encantador. Sin duda volveremos. Las damas en el spa fueron excelentes y el servicio para el té de la tarde fue profesional y cálido.

Me alojé una noche en DBB. El entorno es encantador y la comida es de buena calidad, aunque un poco caro. Parecía extraño que 3 mesas solo tuvieran una vela encendida (no la nuestra) que carecía de atención al detalle. Los dos empleados que servían eran amables pero parecían ser de su profundidad e incómodos. El uso de puentes navideños parecía extraño para lo que se considera una buena cena. Simplemente no obtuve un ambiente especial en absoluto, lo cual fue una pena tan cara en comparación con otros establecimientos similares.

We recently had the pleasure of attending a wedding at Wood Hall and can definitely say it was FANTASTIC!. great food, great location and great staff.

Por el precio, la calidad de la cocina es claramente deficiente. No parece haber un chef experto en este hermoso lugar con hermosos alrededores, que serían 5 * hasta el final si invirtieran en el sector de la restauración del negocio. Decepcionado. Sólo rescatado por el gran edificio antiguo y las impresionantes vistas verdes.

The first night we chose continental style dishes and were quite pleased, the next day we went for more typical English dishes and were equally pleased. We found the Italian headwaiter particularly professional and efficient as well as pleasant.

Food was very good, and the service was excellent. Very freindly and helpful staff throughout the building, and the barmen were a delight.Well recommended

Stayed at this wonderful hotel in January 2019 highly recommended this hotel staff are friendly and very helpful facilities are excellent food and drinks are great

Thanks to Chris and all his team for a fabulous time there ,great food, fantastic room a 1st class hotel

We visited for a one night stay before attending Wetherby races and could not have been looked after better by the friendly and efficient staff. Beautiful building in fantastic surroundings. Room was of a good size and very clean. Lounge and bar areas also vey welcoming. We ate in the the Georgian and the food was excellent my partner said the scallop starter and the main of Monkfish was one of the best meals he has had. It was nice to be in a grown up diner my room where no one was watching tablets or texting they were just interacting with other people at their table and enjoying the food. Staff in all areas of the hotel were helpful and polite. It was a pleasure to stay there.

Llegamos aquí para encontrar una boda en proceso y un letrero de "no estacionar" que bloquea la entrada al estacionamiento. Habría sido cortés al hotel informarnos de esto cuando hicimos la reserva, ya que la zona de recepción estaba ocupada y los huéspedes que llegaban parecían ser ignorados. Habiendo estacionado lejos del área de recepción principal, tuvimos que pedir ayuda con nuestras maletas. Teníamos una habitación en la esquina que era muy cómoda y tenía unas vistas preciosas al otro lado del parque. Las unidades de aire acondicionado son audibles desde una pared exterior, pero afortunadamente no son demasiado intrusivas. El mantenimiento de la casa y el rechazo fueron excelentes.

Un regalo para mi cumpleaños. Nos alojamos el domingo por la noche para cenar en la cama y el desayuno. Tuvimos una estancia encantadora con una habitación grande y utilizamos la piscina. Fue el mejor desayuno que he probado en cualquier hotel con una gran selección de buffet frío y una deliciosa comida caliente preparada con una sonrisa. La cena también era buena y el cordero era delicioso. Había un ambiente encantador en el restaurante con música suave y velas.

Reservamos un almuerzo de domingo en el restaurante georgiano con mucha antelación, esperando un "almuerzo de domingo". Fue una farsa desde el momento en que llegamos. El personal de recepción no tenía ni idea de dónde o en qué nos reservábamos. Finalmente, nos sentamos en el restaurante georgiano desierto donde nos pidieron qué menú requerimos. . . . . . ermm . . . ¿El menú del almuerzo del domingo? ? Nos ofrecieron el menú del spa, el menú del té de la tarde, el menú del té de la tarde (a las 2 pm?). Finalmente, se ofreció otro menú que, unos minutos más tarde, se llevó rápidamente y se reemplazó por otro que consistía en sándwiches, ensaladas y un par de platos cocinados, no el glorioso almuerzo del domingo que esperábamos. Desesperados ya, elegimos una ensalada, un risotto y una botella de vino decente. Cuando finalmente llegó el vino (el pobre joven camarero tuvo problemas para encontrar hielo para el cubo de hielo), nuestras copas se llenaron con un vino muy bonito y bastante caro, (36 o más), sin siquiera una oferta para probar. El vino antes de verter. Mientras esperábamos a que llegara nuestra comida, nos divertimos al ver a otros huéspedes recién llegados experiencias igualmente caóticas. . . . se mostró un grupo de ocho personas a una mesa para seis y una pareja que tuvo que explicar en palabras de una sílaba cuáles eran sus requisitos para el té de la tarde que ya había ordenado con antelación. Cuando finalmente llegó nuestra comida, debo decir que fue muy agradable (aparte de un mediocre plato de queso). En todo momento sentí lástima por el muy agradable y ansioso por complacer al joven que nos atendió, ya que en su mayoría intentaba lidiar con ningún otro miembro del personal de apoyo. Nuestro almuerzo del domingo en este establecimiento será memorable, pero lamentablemente por todas las razones equivocadas. Si este lugar no hace un almuerzo de domingo adecuado, o incluso un almuerzo normal, ¿por qué aceptaron nuestra reserva?

Me hubiera encantado haberle dado al hotel y spa Wood Hall 5 estrellas, ya que es un lugar magnífico con un personal excelente y una comida tremenda, pero las instalaciones del spa me dan una estrella.

Conducir hacia Wood Hall es un evento en sí mismo. Al acercarse a la parte superior de la larga y estrecha calle, se le recibe con una vista impresionante de Wood Hall. Al inspeccionar el edificio y su impresionante entorno, confía en mí, ¡te perderás las palabras! !

We wanted a quiet wedding for the two of us and Wood Hall offer a “Just the Two Of Us” package and it was amazing!

What lovely surrounding. We had the whole hotel for the wedding and the rooms were discounted for us due to this. The food was beautiful. Please try the beef.

Only booked a couple of days before visit. Beautiful location, staff very attentive and loads of little extras. So different to the Aldwark Manor that we spent a couple of nights in as well. Totally recommend it. Definitely stay again.

We enjoyed tea in the well-appointed dining room on a beautiful spring afternoon, with views overlooking wooded hills (somewhat spoiled by a new housing estate). The food was more than plentiful - we had to take a box of cakes away with us - and they made an effort to give me vegetarian fare. The overall experience was diminished a bit by a loud, crude famly who had taken over much of the dining room, but that wasn't the fault of the staff, who were very conscientious.

Our second visit for afternoon tea with a glass of champagne, served in a lovely small dining room with a beautiful view. We had white line table cloth and napkins, a good choice of fingers sandwiches, super duper plain & fruit scones and a selection of petit cakes, proper petit cakes, not large cakes cut up smaller.

My partner and I stayed here for only one night and would have stayed longer if we could have. The spruce room was spacious and clean with basic amenities. I wish I had remembered to pack my costume as it would have been lovely to make use of the spa but unfortunately I couldn’t. Some spas offer costume hire so that might have been the only suggestion I could make for improvement. The food was good and the staff were lovely. The bed was a bit soft but that’s just our preference because we are creaking around the joints

Good quality choices both evening meal and breakfast. Staff were attentive and nothing was too much trouble

Outstanding food, beautiful surroundings, good staff, plenty of parking, attractive building, comfortable bed, pleasant room. 1st room was right next to noisy pump room which was going to go on all night, thankfully, the wonderful member of staff at reception found a new room to put us in, though they almost weren't able to which would have meant listening to the pump all night. Behind the t.v, there were cobwebs the size of my hand and there was dust so thick on a glass shelf, we wrote a message for the cleaner(s).

We stayed overnight here recently it is a real authentic old country mansion although it does have a modern wing attached we stayed in the original building.

A good selection for breakfast including Eggs Benedict. We had the full English and toast which was well presented and not greasy at all. Didn't like the loose tea, a good old tea bag for me please.

Was booked for an overnight stay here as a birthday treat from my daughter. Rang to postpone due to awful weather conditions and was told, no we would still have to attend on the date booked. This is despite head office sending home their own staff due to the weather! Terrible attitude from the hotel, we weren't asking for a refund, just a postponement. A19 was blocked and advice was to not travel unless absolutely neccessary. In total contrast, Rockliffe Hall in Darlington were absolutely excellent with a friend of mine who wanted to postpone a spa day, there was no problem with them changing it. Calls to the head office of the group, Handpicked Hotels and Wood Hall hotel resulted in total indifference from the customer service team, so that tells me all I need to know about the attitude they have to their guests.

The food was delicious and the best food we've ever had in a hotel...easily up to and beyond restaurant standard!

Had a beautiful ceam tea here and enjoyed the spa facilities. the view of the pato is stunning! Definitly a nice treat day!

Just back from an amazing overnight stay. My mum and I are definitely looking forward to coming again. We stayed in one of the coach houses which was beautiful throughout. We ate lunch in the drawing room- service was speedy and the food was lovely. The spa is small and there was only 1 changing room in the ladies but this did not bother us- we still enjoyed the sauna and the jacuzzi. We checked out at 11 and we're able to visit the spa again which was a bonus. Whilst there, we visited the monastery behind the hotel- try and visit if you can. The nuns are very welcoming x

Lovely room, friendly and helpful staff. Afternoon tea was included in our stay and it was superb! The hotel setting was beautiful but still close to York.

De haber estado aquí antes, esto es algo de un favorito. En ambas ocasiones me he quedado muy contento con el alojamiento, el estándar de la cocina y la amabilidad del personal. Sin mencionar la ubicación pero por supuesto que nunca varía. Sin duda alguna volveremos por tercera estancia cuando esté en Yorkshire.

Decidimos llamar a madera Hall para darnos un capricho para el té de la tarde para redondear un fin de semana de distancia. No hay reserva pero el personal nos cabía. Las cosas buenas eran el gran scones - cálida y ligera, la Degustación de...

Vinimos aquí después de terminar en la zona, y después de un poco de dificultad para encontrar el hotel ya que nuestro gps no me di cuenta de que había cerrado un puente tenía una noche muy relajante. Nuestra habitación daba a la parte trasera,...

Hemos estado en este hotel, en muchas ocasiones, bodas, etc. y siempre ha sido increíble, pero tengo que decir que nuestra reciente visita en Navidad era una enorme decepción. La comida no era gran cosa, ni siquiera la comida caliente, un plato de pescado de mi marido ni siquiera con verduras a un par de patatas. El servicio era muy lento, no prisa en volver. Una pena, ya que el hotel y los jardines son preciosos.

Comida estupenda! Gran servicio de camareros amables, buen ambiente, decoración agradable ambiente agradable de un lugar estupendo para comer!

We have just returned from Woodhall hotel & spa,as it was a Christmas present from our daughter &. Son in law,so before I complete my review would like to thank Sarah Adam & Little Isla for our surprise oh and not forgetting Adams mum & Dad for the afternoon tea.Our visit started with a bottle of champers on ice in our room on arrival,which was a welcome surprise,our room was gorgeous,and of a high standard with a nice view of the front gardens,our room was named Cedar so book it if possible,as I know you won't be disappointed.We then had afternoon tea which comprised of savouries,sandwiches,Scones with jam & clotted cream,& a selection of pastries which were home maid & delicious.We then made a visit to the spa which could be accessed through a corridor,there is a pool which although small was adequate,we tried the steam room,which again was great,unfortunately the jacuzzi was closed for a while whilst having maintenance completed,but noticed when we had showered &. changed was ready for use.We had a look round the gardens but the weather wasn't suitable for walking about so decided it was time for a quick Siesta before dinner.We had booked in for 8-30 so went to the residents bar for a quick pre dinner drink,the bar manager was really great,just like all the staff, & managers,we had met,so the owner must be delighted with my comments.The dinner was really great I tried the Scallops for starter,which although expensive but delicious,and Beverly had crab risotto which she said was really tasty,then I ordered the Cod loin whilst she tried the salmon,which again was really tasty,I declined a sweet but Beverly tried the iced salted caramel parfait,& once again she enjoyed her sweet,if honest I am more a savoury fan so was tempted with the cheese board,but couldn't manage it.We had a really nice Italian wine to complement our meal,but generally speaking found the wines rather expensive,& picked the cheapest which was £21 a bottle,as I don't seem to appreciate expensive wines.In the morning we had a lovely breakfast with pretty much everything available,I had eggs benedict with salmon which was cooked to perfection,Beverly had an englisg breakfast & whichever eggs you decide to have they are cooked fresh which is great.I was chatting to a young lady who was from Zimbabwe,and so pleasant, and like all the staff worked very hard,& only happy when we were happy,so well done all at Woodhall hotel,and a quick mention to our waiter from Leeds,he likewise made our stay great,& Nathan who I think was the restaurant manager or general manager,anyway he was very kind & courteous.They couldn't help the weather during our stay,as it was pretty miserable,rain,cold & windy,but I guess you can't have everything. Score 9.5/10 Kilroy was here!!!

We tried the Sunday night DBB break - excellent value.Rooms fitted to a high standard and very clean. Very impressed with all of the food noticeably the venison at dinner, the smoked haddock at breakfast and the fab leaf tea!There is a small but useful spa. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and swimming pool.Hotel has a lovely ambience which makes you feel at home. We were a bit daunted at check in to run smack into a wedding party but the private residents lounge meant that we were able to escape the chaos.Most bedrooms seem to be well away from the function rooms so no noise problems there.Thoroughly recommend a visit.

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel and it just gets better. The staff are great - very attentive and friendly. The rooms are super comfortable with thoughtful fittings such as a power point near a mirror - not found very often in hotels and the bathrooms ultra clean with quality fittings - and very good complimentary toiletries. The restaurant is out of this world. Food to remember for a long time and the breakfasts are of the highest standard with a buffet table groaning with unusual and tasty choices.

My son and new daughter-in-law had their wedding at this hotel last week. I can only say it was an exceptional event. The staff and facilities were amazing. It was a smooth, professional, yet relaxed wedding.The wedding food was brilliant and we did not wait very long between each course.The maître d kept us all on track.Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Hotel very interestingly quirky! Spotlessly clean and friendly, helpful staff. Huge King size bed! Hotel a bit old worldly! Pot of tea needed a tea leaf strainer! (supplied on the table) It is a long time since I used or even saw sugar lumps! The food was very good. The décor was a mixture of old and modern but we would stay again.

We have just returned from one night at Wood Hall this is our second trip. The hotel staff are very friendly and informative. The restaurant is fantastic and the food choice is great. The spa could do with a re-furb however it didn't spoil our stay. I would highly recommend this hotel and I am sure we will be returning in the near future

I appreciate that this hotel has many good reviews but I can only speak as I find. It was a wedding anniversary surprise so to complain about dissatisfaction was difficult. We visited on the 29th December for one night. The reception staff were friendly & commented on it being a special occasion so no excuse really.Pros:- friendly staff, beautiful setting, grand hotel, comfortable bed . Good breakfast.Cons: room in courtyard (avoid!) necessitating walk outside to access hotel - not good in inclement weather, uncomfortable pillows, horrible toilet brush!! Needs money to be spent to bring it up to the standard it could be.Meal was fairly average but served by lovely staff.Would I visit again? Probably not.

Excellent food quality both on an evening and at breakfast.Service was first class and very attentive

Het restaurant van dit hotel is te duur voor wat je krijgt, bij een carpaccio verwacht je minimaal zichtbaar vlees te krijgen, voor 14 pond.. het personeel in het restaurant is hautain. De manager en de man in de bar zijn een uitzondering.Het hotel is geweldig!

Great Hotel liked the New Part better than the old, but still great place to stay, clean comfortable good food and the mkost pleasant staff I have ever encountered

Stayed for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is set in a beautiful location with lovely views over farmland. The room was very comfortable and spacious although rather dark as there were a lot of trees directly outside. The service was excellent, staff very attentive and friendly. The swimming pool, gym and spa were all very good, gym was well equipped for a small gym. Had a massage and facial, enjoyed both. The restaurant was excellent, expensive so we only ate there one evening but the food and service were faultless. Had room service on another evening which was also good. Breakfasts were good but nothing special.

Obviously as a wedding venue they are very busy at weekends. However they did reserve the drawing room for DBB guests. Customer service was exceptional and Gethin and Noel and Jessica (I think) on reception were brilliant all with their own styles. Dining experience was superb with canapés on the first night and a variety of breads. Starters, mains and choice of desserts were all superb and the chef must be applauded for a fine dining experience. Avoid weekends if you want peace and quiet.

We stayed here as a relaxing break in August. We paid £230 for the room and so were expecting a very luxurious room. The room was nicely decorated and modern but definitely not worth the money, we were rather disappointed! Our room was joined onto the hotel. Would have paid just £100 for the room... Not £230!! The bathroom was not as clean as I would have anticipated either... We are in the restaurant and the food was ok... Atmosphere was lovely...not the best choice of dishes...

We recently stayed the night as part of a wedding party.The room was excellent. Very tastefully decorated and a high standard. We had a meal as part of the wedding which was very good, we also ate breakfast at the hotel which was also very good. The hotel is in a nice setting and it certainly somewhere I would think about visiting again.

We visited Wood Hall with friends, on recommendation. The setting was outstanding and ideal for a formal function (wedding etc.) The quality of food was very good but the cost was a little higher than we had anticipated in advance of our visit.

The well stocked bar is just the place to peruse the menu, which offers a variety of dishes to suit all tastes. The food was well cooked and nicely presented. The staff were very attentive, friendly and eager to ensure everything was to our liking. Coffee afterwards can be taken back in the bar or in the lounge, which has large comfy sofas from which to take in the magnificent views.

We ran a seminar here and the location, grounds and hotel were very picturesque. The food was wonderful but what really made this place was the staff, from the manager to the waiting staff to the reception staff, who were attentive and looked after us and our guests so well. A big thank you.

We were there for a conference and my experience of conference food is not good, It is normally pre prepared and tasteless. This was not the case here, the meal was wonderful from starters to desert. At breakfast the next morning the selection was excellent and service perfect

Wood Hall, the hotel itself is excellent! The restaurant, in my experience, falls some way short of expectations. They are clearly positioning the restaurant at the very high end - dishes are complex, portion size is small and its all very haut cuisine! Sadly - it doesn't work. My party had the oxtail ravioli as a starter. It arrived warm, not hot. There was one ravioli per person: the pasta was tough, the dish was dry, the "pan jus" which I though would be like an Italian brodo was actually just a few tiny smears. I then had the lamb Wellington: again it arrived tepid. It comprised two fairly small pieces of lamb fillet wrapped in pastry. The lamb was OK, but cool pink lamp is not particularly pleasant, the pastry was leathery. It was accompanied by two tiny carrots, a teaspoonful of spinach and some potato. It was all very dry and lacking the "zing" of real fresh flavours (my home grown and home cooked carrots taste so much better!). My colleagues had the Pheasant: they were equally unimpressed. Still hungry, I had at £6 one slice of Cornish yarg (the only cheese on offer!!).OK, this is just my opinion (but supported by colleagues) but Wood Hall would do much better if they tried a little less hard to be so fancy! I get better food at half the price in a really good gastro pub. I would stay at the hotel again but I wouldn't bother eating at the restaurant.Mark-up on wines is a bit steep: they list Dinastia vivanco 2009 for £40: I recently bought a case at around £10 a bottle: x4 mark-up??? Come on guys!

Boxing Day lunch is a bit of a family ritual so we're reasonably demanding and this was our first visit to Wood Hall. Three of us walked, excellent to burn yesterday's calories and to work up an appetite. The final km or so gave us a good view of the hotel across classic Yorkshire countryside. The welcome was perhaps unimpressive: slow, hesitant and lacking in confidence. However once we got into the restaurant it was mainly positive: excellent service and generally good food. I would grumble about the poached salmon starter which was a tad over-cooked but the slow roast shoulder of lamb was excellent. But the wine list was classic: over-priced and dumbed down. If there was a TripAdvisor rating between Average and Very Good it would get it but it doesn't deserve and Average so despite the negatives it's Very Good. Would like it to improve before I go back.

Our 3rd stay hear and it was fantastic.The staff are amazing the spa is brilliant the food was super and the room was just fantastic.All in all we would rush back now and stay again.A must stay hotel!!!!!

First time to Wood Hall, the setting is lovely, albeit you drive down 2miles of a single track lane to get there. We had Sunday lunch. 1st mistake, no Campari, for a top hotel, not good. 2nd mistake serving a G&T with no lemon, can understand if we said no lemon, but come on, any self respecting bar person, knows G&T served with lemon or lime. 3rd mistake, had to ask for the wine list then wine did not arrive till after we had been served our starters. Food, we had was good, although pan fried Salmon, should have crispy skin, not flabby !, but other than that the food was lovely. Wine prices are very pricey £36 for a Pinot Grigio, over priced by about £15,

Visited Wood Hall on a dinner, bed and breakfast deal booked on the internet. I was disappointed with the food. Firstly I thought 'nouvelle cuisine' (as in 'very small portions') was old fashioned now. Don't get me wrong, it was beautifully presented, and the service was excellent, but somehow they seemed to be trying so hard to be a posh hotel that the quality of the food suffered. We only had a choice of 3 main courses on our 'deal', (which was mentioned several times by the staff as if reminding us we were in the cheap seats) and the only one I liked was the beef. Unfortunately I got a very fatty (small) piece of beef, so I couldn't eat it as I don't like fatty meat. I did tell the waiter but he just said 'I'll have a word with the chef' but nothing more was said or done about it.To make things worse, when we went down to breakfast the next morning we ordered a full English breakfast, to be told 'sorry we've run out of bacon'. What? That's like having a roast dinner without the roast! We were offered an extra (small) sausage to compensate but it wasn't the same....... there was supposed to be baked beans included too, but there wasn't a bean in sight on either of our plates. Maybe they'd run out of those too but just forgot to mention it. The service was so slow they could have nipped down into Wetherby and bought the missing ingredients from Morrisons - who'd know? There's no use in trying to impress your guests by telling them all the produce is 5 star organic, locally sourced etc. etc. if you don't have any to give them.Apart from that, the hotel itself is in a beautiful setting and worth a visit, but I wouldn't go there just for a meal. You can get much cheaper, more plentiful and better quality food at many nearby restaurants and pubs.

We visited this restaurant for dinner on Friday. The welcome was very good.The menu somewhat restricted was expensive compared to other 4star establishments.Starter which consisted of 2 scallops in a pea sauce £18. Main courses equally as expensive.It was obvious that we were the only non residents in the restuarant. The quality of the food was good and service also. Does not compare to other quality resataurants such as Middlethorpe Hall.

Booked late but managed to get the last table. Arrived to a complimentary glass of Sparkling Wine and shown to the table at exactly 12.30pm. lovely table by the window, and had a fantastic 3 course meal served by Stefano. The food was fresh, locally sourced and the Roast Sirloin of Beef, well cooked and medium rare. Great day, good value and will return to this lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. Thanks to all for making the day special.

My wife & I felt the lounge a liittle cool for a pre-lunch drink on a February Sunday afternoon.The decor also looked a wee bit tired.Apart from that the food was almost excellent.I had the traditional roast beef main course.I do not like rare beef so I asked for well done & it was just fine.My wife had pork for main course but she felt it was not the tastiest of pork .We both had an generous smoked salmon starter & the sweets were a delight.Coffee served in the lounge with fudge rounded off a very satisfying meal.The pork supplier needs a word .Overall the staff were very pleasant,welcoming & attentive.

Outstanding! Stayed one night in jan 2013 for my wife's birthday and made use of a great value spa deal... Excellent venue, fantastic room, wonderful scenery, amazing food and service. Heated pool and small - but well equipped gym are clean and friendly staffed. Only negatives would be no wifi in rooms - only in the bar and you have to brave the outside for 2 seconds between the hotel and pool - it was minus 4 though!

There were 10 of us for afternoon tea and they put us in a pleasent room over looking the beautiful view. It was a little dingy and could have done with better lighting.I had my 8 month old baby and asked for a high chair. The waitress brought one in and said it had been stored in the shed so it was freezing being November. She put some napkins on it so it wasn't too cold for my daughter. The fastener on the straps had broken so was just tied in a knot. She slipped about in it cause of the napkins and I couldn't tighten her in as the strap was broken. In the end I just removed the napkins so she was sat in a freezing cold woodern highchair. The waitress got all the tea's mixed up and some people did and some didn't have tea spoons. I would have expected better from this type of quality hotel. The afternoon tea was nice and I can't really fault that. The price was good at £16.50 a head which was cheaper than other country hotels I had looked at. All in all we had a pleasent afternoon but the service could have been better.

Nothing was too much trouble here at Wood Hall. It`s a red 4 star property with a 2 rosette fine diner. We stayed 2 nights, with breakfast and a meal in the restaurant. We booked on line and everything was just perfect. The meal was fantastic, I had saddle of rabbit with langostine, cooked perfectly, presented well without too much bling to clutter. For mains the Pidgeon, the puree of bean was a deft touch. Much care was taken and was well rested. Good cooking here.Lady had the Scallops with set Cauli. The scallops sealed well, the cauli was creamy and balanced with seasoning. She had the rib eye for mains, cooked a perfect medium and caramelised like a rib eye should. The hand cut chips the biggest I`ve seen where crisp and fluffy. We shared a jaffa mille fuelle with coffee`s. Excellent.You run a tight ship guys. Thank you. x
