Yorebridge House in Richmondshire

Fabulous afternoon tea - just the right amount of food and every part was delicious. Lovely setting in a room of our own and service was spot on - everything we wanted served with a smile.

Loved every minute - food amazing

The outside appearance is stunning and the website, menu and prices lead us to believe we would get a high quality light lunch. We were greeted like we were a surprise despite booking and were seated in a small lounge with an uncomfortable seat. There was some suggestion we could eat in the other lounge but having taken a peak on my way to the ladies I really didn’t want to eat my lunch on my lap or stay in the uncomfortable chair so we requested to eat in the restaurant at a proper table. There were only 2 other tables and it was deathly quiet. Our sandwiches were ok with a restaurant price tag served with crisps and no garnish. The service was not what I usually experience in Yorkshire and certainly does not motivate me to book again. This test visit has saved me a significant amount of money on the Christmas package as I will certainly be looking elsewhere.

We visited for a birthday celebration and a bit of post operative recuperation. The hotel was perfect - quiet, luxurious, spotless and the staff were faultless. Special mention to Amy who made everything extra special with her warmth and charm. But it is the food that really stands out as the star of the show. Every dish, every mouthful was exquisite. We had the a la carte one night and the tasting menu the other. Anyone who thinks the portions are too small really needs a reality check - this food is about quality not quantity. Certainly worthy of the three rosettes.

Can only say something about the food. It was a bit messy at the beginning. I don't think they often have guests who don't sleep at the hotel or have made a reservation. But in the end we got a nice table. Opted for the all la carte menu. All the dishes chosen were all very tasty. Highly recommended if you want something extra in the Dales

Located in the heart of the Dales. Lots of walks close by. The accommodation was excellent. We stayed in the Jasper room with our dog. There was plenty of space for us. An excellent full English breakfast. We could not fault the staff, they were all wonderful.

Excellent meal.. very attentive staff. Brilliant!

Unable to comment since I have only visited the website

We have been coming here every year for the last 12 years to celebrate our wedding anniversary, we absolutely love it!

Another fabulous stay at one of our most favorite places.

My partner and I during the Christmas period decided to take a trip across the Yorkshire Dales into the Wensleydale area and Aysgarth. We thought it be a good idea to seek something out to eat whilst we were at it. We found Yorebridge House and was interested by it's tasting menu and 3 AA rosette designation. The restaurant/hotel is located in a very quiet village called Bainbridge deep within the Dales. It is quite a drive to get there but it was ultimately worth it and one of the nicest meals we have both had in 2023. Upon arrival we were met with very friendly staff and an absolutely beautiful venue. The colour choices, furniture and decor worked together to create a modern feel in an old building. Hidden alcoves revealed larger rooms and it was actually fun to look around to see what each room looked like. We were sat in the bar for a drink and the initial welcome canapes. The cocktails were great and canapé of beetroot jelly and tapioca were lovely. We were then seated in the main restaurant and began a culinary journey of six wonderful courses. The beef tea was fantastic, we didn't really know what to expect but it burst with flavour and was something I could easily drink a gallon of. The house bread was baked to absolute perfection and paired with the most incredible beef butter. Of all the restaurants I have eaten at with bread and butter courses, this sits at the top of the ladder. The first court of cured trout was complimented with a lovely watercress emulsion and a nice choice of caviar. The fish was meaty and flavoursome and was a great start. The pigeon course was unbelievably good with a lovely barbecued taste and very soft texture. It was cooked beautifully. We were served an interesting scallop course with hazelnuts and a lovely sauce. Scallops in these settings often tend to be raw so it was a welcome change. The venison was the nicest I have had with a wonderful beetroot puree. The desserts were great concluding with a lovely chocolatey mouse/tort paired with homemade ice creams. We of course ended with coffees (to help with the long drive home) and were treat to beautiful petit four of white chocolate and cardoman fudge. This was deep, flavoursome and out of this world. We also had a cross between a jelly sweet and Turkish delight with an intense bergamot flavour. Yorebridge House did an awful lot right from the friendly staff, beautiful venue and excellent food. I would only say that when the venison course was delivered, my partner was in the toilet and rather than bring it out upon her return, the plate was put on the table waiting for her return. I wouldn't have served dishes without everyone being present at the table. It is clear that Yorebridge aspires to obtain a Michelin Star and I don't doubt that it is possible. The food is very good and very fresh and well cooked and although we didn't spend the night in the rooms, judging from what we had seen that would likely have been excellent too. I think the only thing against it for a star is the location, I don't think the Michelin inspectors have the drive to go so far for it which is a shame! It was an overall very enjoyable night. I wouldn't hesitate to go back to the restaurant and would gladly consider spending a night there. The only thing stopping a quick return is the distance.

The food here is excellent and the service warm and professional. Only let down slightly by the desserts. The restaurant needs to hire a decent pastry chef if it has any aspirations to get a Michelin star.

The hotel was wonderful staff very were friendly the food was out of this world small portions but we knew that the only thing that let it down was the mattress it was old and very soft it also had what appeared to be a big blood stain on it let management know when we got home .I didn't tell my wife at the time because she wouldn't have stayed there .manager replied saying I was the only person to complain about the bed being soft and heavily soiled but they would look into it .they didn't bother to get in touch with me to apologise for the blood on the mattress

Fine dining restaurant - handsome room with a lovely dales view. Friendly and efficient service and great food. We will come again.

I had visited Yorebridge pre-COVID and really enjoyed the experience. As it was a significant birthday for me I decided to visit again to celebrate with my wife. The hotel is nicely located within the Yorkshire Dales and is a good size for a boutique hotel experience being a dozen rooms and therefore not overcrowded. I had great attention from the staff who were all very friendly and courteous. The atmosphere of the hotel is very conducive to a special night away which is helped by its location next to the river with extensive grounds. The room was located in the old School House and was spacious with all the accoutrements you would expect. This was separate from the main hotel which was formerly the Headmaster’s House. The bar and lounge spaces were nicely intimate and the restaurant had great views out. I enjoyed a dinner, bed and breakfast deal and the quality was both excellent and very good value for money. I will definitely be returning in the near future as it has been one of my best hotel experiences for quite a while.

We are local to Yorebridge but had never visited and had been meaning to for ages. We were not disappointed; we went for my birthday meal on a Monday in wintery January and had the tasting menu which I understand is a new addition. It was the best meal we have possibly ever eaten, the food was absolutely delicious, every mouthful was savoured. The atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed and friendly with fabulous staff (each and every one of them) with gorgeous lounge areas to relax in. We cannot wait to come back and have been saying all day how we wish we could rewind to last night’s meal!! We will just have to stay over next time so we can indulge in all the beautiful wine pairings!

A nice 5 course menu was available with a recommended wine pairing for each course, which we opted for. Each course had clean flavours and an appealing presentation. The service was efficient and enthusiastic. Overall a very nice meal.

Food always excellent. Staff friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Good wine list and well stocked bar. Lovely relaxing view from windows. Air conditioned!

Fabulous stay the food was phenomenal why this place does not have a Michelin star I have no idea it is better than anywhere I have ever been and I have travelled to many places over the world all I can say is if you haven’t been go thank you for a wonderful experience special thank you to Dan and Mikey xx

Lovely location. Excellent food very well presented with excellent friendly service in a nice restaurant. 5 course dinner without wine £75 each.

Thoroughly enjoyed dinner, breakfast and afternoon tea. Service was good, friendly and professional. The chef’s turned out several fab meals

We enjoyed a fabulous Afternoon Tea at Yorebridge House. We were seated in the window, giving us a lovely view over the lawn and the dales beyond, which was made even better by the autumn sunshine. The food was delicious and the service we received was excellent. We were not rushed in any way and had a really relaxing afternoon. Thank you.

Lovely clean luxurious room. Restaurant dinner was food you remember for the right reasons, not overwhelming portions, really tasty and interesting. Restaurant had a lovely ‘not too formal’ atmosphere but I didn’t feel out of place in a dress and heels. Service fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly. Quite pricey but worth it. Would recommend and visit again.

We visited for the Sunday Lunch and, just as in our previous visits were once again completely bowled over. Three courses. I chose mushroom soup for my first. I could have dined on this incredible intense flavour all day. Our second course was beef. The wine was a palate-blessing 2016 Amancaya Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon from the Rothschild estate (Lafite) in Mendoza Agentina. Again, in Yorebridge style, the beef was so tender, very special and so satisfying with perfectly cooked veg. For the third course I chose 72% chocolate, raspberry and honeycomb. My wife had sticky toffee pudding and gave me a gorgeous taste of hers whilst I was in the middle of enjoying mine and left me feeling I should have chosen everything and blow the expense. Honestly, it really doesn't matter what you choose at this award winning restaurant. Everything here is such a taste delight. It is little surprise that they are in the process of installing a helicopter landing pad for those who can't get there fast enough!

We went for dinner at this pleasant hotel which was around the corner from the village we were staying in. As the weather was superb we had a cocktail in the garden. The food was good though portions were very small. My cured salmon starter was superb and his Halibut main was excellent. Service good but not faultless.

Enjoyed another stay here (2nd visit) during half term with a 2 night stay in a hot tub room overlooking the river and bridge. Room was nice and spacious, with a comfy bed, and tasteful decor. Only downside was the peeling Zealand round the shower tray, cracked plaster in the toilet on the wall and wonky light shades on the lamps, small things but hotels in this price bracket (5 stars) should be perfect. Outside area and hot tub were fabulous, overlooking the river and nicely lit at night and with total privacy. Are on the hotel both evenings and the food was exquisite. Beautifully cooked and presented with quality drinks and wine list. Had breakfast both mornings too, and I challenge anyone to show me a better full English. The bacon especially is the best I’ve tasted. Would recommend and would defo book for a 3rd visit, although hopefully the slightly scruffy parts of the room would be sorted by then.

We stayed in the kariega room for our second visit to this beautiful boutique hotel in the Yorkshire dales. It was lovely to be welcomed with fizz and home made cookies , however we both felt our welcome was nowhere near as warm as our last visit. Maybe this was down to covid restrictions??The room was absolutely divine and out shone the St Jean room we had stayed it last time . Sitting in the hot tub next to the river was definitely the icing on the cake. Such gorgeous views. Dinner again didn’t seem quite as special as on our last visit. No canapés offered. The staff were keen for us to go straight to our table rather than peruse the menu in the lounge. Again I think this is all to do with covid restrictions. The meal was totally divine and service especially from the super friendly maitre d was great . We did have difficulties hearing what the waitress was saying - masks and visors don’t help at all but again-not her fault. She was lovely. We thought that having a smaller menu may mean we would struggle, but there is certainly something for everyone. My halibut was the star of the show !We had a wonderful relaxing time in the hot tub following dinner and the best nights sleep ever . Neither of us wanted to wake but we were actually excited about breakfast. This is where we felt let down... two serving staff in the dining room obviously wasn’t enough . They were doing their best to look after everyone but it was difficult to get any attention. We wanted juice replenishment- it never appeared. Neither did the tea we asked for. Food was lovely but waiting 35minutes for yoghurt then another 20+ after this for hot food did seem a lot. We then felt in a rush to check out. We do love Yorebridge and wouldn’t hesitate to return, but possibly only if Ion the deal that we paid for. Almost £400 for one nights stay when it seems to be lacking that special touch we felt in our last visit.... it’s too much . Service from the staff we dealt with was great, however at the price’s yorebridge charge for a stay, I don’t believe guests should have a hefty service charge added to their bills. Surely this should be included?

Another wonderful stay at Yorebridge House. Stayed in a different room this time (which was equally as amazing as the last one!). I can’t fault anything at this place. We had the private dining and taster menu and it was absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to book another break here. The staff really took care of us and we had a wonderful weekend. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Every single thing on the menu was incredible. Each mouthful an ‘oh my gosh’, closed eyes, sit-back-and-savour moment. Discovered just by driving by while on holiday in the Dales, but so happy we did. Would definitely recommend. And already looking for an excuse to return.

We had a lovely 3 course fine dining meal. All courses looked beautiful and tasted delicious. We also felt very safe.

I have never used the word “superb” before in a Tripadvisor review, but Yorebridge House certainly deserves it. The accommodation was stylish, very comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and efficient. But it was the superb food which stood out especially. The three-course dinner menu was excellent value, particularly as every course had an additional surprise amuse-bouche making the meal more like a six-course menu. Each course was presented with care, and the whole meal wouldn’t have been out of place in a Michelin star establishment. We will certainly return again in the near future.

We walked, on a cold wet and dark January evening. The ill-lit front door at the roadside remained obdurately resistant until eventually we found a small plaque and deciphered the instructions to use the new front door by the car park - if you drive here you will have no such troubleWe then received the warmest of welcomes, were shown to a comfortable lounge and furnished with menus and a selection of gins. Amuse bouches followed and an invitation to the table. The stated menu is supplemented by other extras - a little cup of onion soup, a mid point posset, petit fours afterwards. Everything was well prepared and attentively served.We were asked how we came to be there and said it was our silver wedding anniversary - the possets arrived on a decorated anniversary platter (see photo) - a lovely touch.After a delightful evening the restaurant staff asked how we were returning to our b&b and were keen to ensure that we didn’t have to once again face the inclement weather.It was a lovely venue and enhanced our celebratory evening in a special way.

We had Sunday lunch here the week before Christmas. Some of the food was really, really good, including the soup and the pistachio cake, and the Yorkshire puddings, but the beef wasn’t that tender and had some gristle in it, and the vegetarian main, gnocchi was totally tasteless. My son left most of it, yet the waiting staff took no notice. Hence the average review.The iTunes Christmas playlist that was playing was also too loud and ... vigorous. We could have asked for it to be turned down a touch I suppose and would normally but we were tired! The Christmas decorations etc were lovely and it is still somewhere I’d recommend but they need to have a word with the butcher, and taste the veggie food.

We had a very warm welcome and the staff were attentive, amusing in a low key way and knowledgable about the food. Every dish was delicious, beautifully presented and perfectly prepared. It was a lovely evening in a relaxing atmosphere of quiet conversation and privacy. I would recommend adding more choice of wine at the lower end of the price range.The meal itself was reasonably priced.

Excellent reception from all of the friendly, professional staff.Comfortable, spacious restaurant.Fine dining at it's best and served at just the right pace.I liked the idea of the open kitchen with the pass being straight into the restaurant.A very enjoyable experience from start to finish.

Yorebridge House is outstanding. Nearby pub restaurants include very good ones, but this stands apart and above. The 3-course menu for £60 is superb, and supplemented by exquisite extra tastes and amuses. We majored on the tasty Yorkshire Venison. Great wines and service.

A wonderful “special occasion” restaurant. When we made our reservation we were asked if we had any allergies or intolerances. We have multiple allergies between us and all were noted. On arrival we were shown into the lounge area which was prettily decorated with lots of tea lights in glass candle holders. We were brought our drinks and the menus. We were given both the regular and the vegetarian menu to choose from presumably because of our allergies, giving us more options.The set menu consists of 3 courses for £60 per person. This is for three of either starter, main course, dessert or cheese. Coffee is extra but could be substituted for dessert. The menu doesn’t mention all the little extra courses that you also get included. There was a lovely “amuse bouche” which was served to us in the lounge area. There was also another pre-starter course (which was my favourite of all!) and a pre-pudding. So altogether there were actually six courses for £60, not three, plus some freshly baked rolls with butter mousse.The prices on the menu are actually for the wine they recommend to go with each course. You can chose this (we had the one for the main course and it was lovely) or Make your own choice from a separate menu.All the courses were small and delicate but when added up they made a perfectly sized meal. I couldn’t have eaten more, and my husband, who generally prefers larger portions, was also in agreement that the portion sizes were just right.The lady who served us was extremely helpful and happy to chat, or not chat, depending on your preference. She let us know exactly what was in each meal and where substitutions had been made due to our individual food allergies. For example, we both chose the same the main course but one of us is allergic to mushrooms. Mushrooms were not mentioned on the menu but because they already knew who had the mushroom allergy then they brought a slightly different main course with different vegetables. They also knew who to give it to, without asking, and said “I’ll just explain to you why your meals look slightly different”All the food was wonderful, the atmosphere was good and the service fantastic. The guests were all couples but I’m sure non-couples would be made equally as welcome. There was a family with young children at breakfast so I imagine they had also eaten in the restaurant, but probably earlier in the evening.The only thing I would change was to have some subtle background music, as when we first sat down everyone was talking very quietly and at normal volume your conversation would not be private. I’d still go back though, it was absolutely wonderful!

We had a wonderful Sunday Lunch at Yorebridge House. To start with, Bainbridge is a beautiful place and we had a lovely, sunny drive over. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and nothing too much trouble for them. The food was delicious, you could choose 2 or 3 course meal and, of course, coffee etc. We enjoyed it all. It was a beautiful, sunny day and lots of people were sitting outside with table and umberellas on the grass. Would definitely go again, and recommend it.

We came as a present from our son and daughter for my birthday yesterday. The restaurant was incredible. The canapés all freshly prepared, an amuse bouche, wow! My husband had a scallop and apple starter, I had trout and crab. Main, we both had the lamb, it was faultless. We then received a pre dessert, followed by a chocolate dessert for him, I had the cheese. Service was spot on, nothing too much trouble, and you could see all four chefs working calmly in the kitchen. It was seriously a Michelin meal.

We have just enjoyed our sons wedding at his beautiful venue. Everything about the hotel was faultless. We didn’t have the best day weather wise but it didn’t matter. The hotel is so cosy and welcoming. The food was first class and the staff so pleasant and helpful. Certainly a day to remember. Additionally the bedrooms are superb. Everything has been thought of and beautifully presented. A stunning place to stay.

We visited Yorbridge House today for Sunday Lunch and have to say it is potentially one of the best Sunday Lunches we have had. Firstly set in a beautiful location by the river the hotel itself is immaculate a credit to the housekeeping team. We were seated in one the lovely lounges before entering the restaurant, a touch of style without the old school table cloths, a contemporary style jn which we have come to prefer over the the last few years. The restaurant continued to seat more and more customers throughout our visit which always creates a lovely atmosphere. Do booking is recommended.

We came on the recommendation of a friend and were blown away by the quality, service and price. The food is Michelin star standard and was exquisite, beautifully presented and served, the staff were so friendly and attentive, I left the wine selection to Paul who matched the food perfectly. This is one of the best dining experiences I have had in Yorkshire and I cannot recommended this place more, well worth a detour, oh they also have beautiful rooms too!

We stayed at the hotel for a one night romantic break and ate in the restaurant throughout our stay for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Had amazing food, in an amazing place. Really enjoyed it and will be returning!

Elegant and delicious food, well deserving of their 3 rosettes. Not an inexpensive choice for a meal out, and not a good choice if you are looking for a big feed-up, as the portions are quite small. However, the food is outstanding, with plenty of choice on their tasting menu that changes regularly to reflect seasonal and locally sourced produce.

Undoubtably the most exceptional boutique hotel we have ever visited. From the moment we set foot in the stunning grounds we were treated like royalty. Without exception every member of staff went above and beyond to make our anniversary memorable. Nothing was too much trouble from home made cookies in the room to personal tour of the hotel to turn down service and a restaurant menu that catered for the most challenging of diets. We can’t thank each and everyone of the staff enough. It is no surprises that we are already scheduling 2 or three return visits over the coming year. This idyllic hotel is an absolute must.

I most relaxing three days and nights away. We chose to eat at the hotel on the first and third nights and were not disappointed. The staff were attentive and there was a relaxed calm about the whole place. The owner called in and made himself known and was very happy to provide the history and background to the place. Looking forward to the opening of the “barn” next year.

Visited Bainbridge over the New Year for our anniversary. This was one of the two places you could eat in Bainbridge.

We booked a two night Christmas break early in the year, and were looking forward to it tremendously.

The whole building is impeccably furnished - the restaurant however has gone for the no table cloth quick wipe down table top, this does let the ambience down.

We stayed at Yorebridge for a night in the Kariega room in early August and had a wonderful time.

Pooped in here late in the evening, after all the other places (not many of them) in the area had stopped serving, and was treated like a guest. Excellent service, despite having lots of guests to look after, great food, and a very pleasant atmosphere. Would definitely consider a return trip for dinner or even a short break in the hotel.

Stayed for 1 night on bank holiday Sunday. The place was simply amazing. Gorgeous setting (in the countryside). Room was nicely decorated. Food was amazing. Great for a special treat.

Our trip to Yorebridge House was amazing. From the moment we checked in and drove up to the barn to the moment we left.

Wonderful stay. Really well designed room with everything!

Visited Yorebridge back in November for our honeymoon and decided to come back for another night at the end of December. Both times we found the stay to be very enjoyable. The surronding area is lovely and the house is full of character. The staff are very friendly and went out of their way in making us feel welcome. We stayed in the Kariega and Rahmoune room on our visits. Both rooms very nice in their own way. Love the outside hot tubs, very relaxing. The bar/restaurant area are to a high quality. The food is amazing.. Some of the best food we have ever tried. Attention to detail is fantastic by the chefs. We would love to come back one day again.

We luv this place everything about it is special we love the food it is to die for and the rooms all beautiful nice relaxing an chilled staff are fab nothing too much trouble enjoyed evey minute of a much needed chill time xx ❤️

Wonderful day , wonderful staff , wonderful food !!!

Our second Sunday lunch at Yorebridge House and again it was excellent. Good food, service, atmosphere, furnishings, comfortable lounges and surroundings. Set in a beautiful location by the side of a river. We remember this place before it was transformed in to this boutique hotel some 10 years ago and it's so nice to see someone grab an opportunity and make a business sucess.

Another amazing stay at Yorebridge. Absolutely love this place. From the minute we arrived we just felt totally relaxed. Booked the Rangali room with hot tub & spent the afternoon relaxing in it. Views are fantastic nothing around for miles wonderful way to de stress. Staff are friendly & welcoming nothing us too much trouble. Evening meal was delicious & we shared a really nice bottle of wine. All in all fab weekend worth every penny for a day & night of luxury & relaxation

On October 2nd 2017 my wife and I were in Bainbridge staying at the Yorebridge House hotel. The rooms are all themed; ours was the "Bainbridge" room. Lovely countryside views from every window (see photos). The ensuite itself, with its own traditional fireplace, had sufficient room for accommodation in in its own right, with its large traditional bath and separate double shower room. There are rooms with hot tubs, and in one hot tub in an annexe one can overlook the river Ure just 4 or 5 yards away, and the bridge, as in the photos.

We dined whilst staying at the hotel overnight.

Yorebridge House is a stunning building that is beautifully decorated throughout. Our room was perfect and extremely clean with one...

Not pub grub, there is a fixed price menu and everything on it is just fantastic.Really sets the standard for...

The setting is superb and the food and service certainly lived up to and exceeded our expectations.

Yorebridge House has been on my list of places to visit for a while, mainly with a view to seeing whether it's somewhere I'd like to stay in the future. Whilst in nearby Kirkby Lonsdale, it made sense to go and see the venue and have a light bite whilst there. The location is beautiful and the house itself full of character. However, the scones we had were really disappointing both in terms of taste and value. At £7.50 each for 2 small scones, I would have expected presentation to be amazing and the taste exceptional. Sadly, neither of these expectations were met. The service was also a bit patchy; friendly staff but left to our own devices for quite a while and had to ask for a second round of drinks. All of the above said, Yorebridge House is still somewhere I would visit again as maybe we were just unlucky on the day we visited.

Carpaccio of Beef (me) Salmon (the missus) were two of the best first courses I've ever eaten. Main course was perfect but not as mind blowing as it's predecessor

We were staying in Thwaite and after reading the rave reviews we decided to pop in here for a light lunch so that we could feel the atmosphere and decide if we wanted to stay here another year. They were obviously quite surprised to see us but offered us drinks is the bar although it was deserted. We then had a choice of sandwiches or soup of the day of which there was only one serving - perfectly ok white onion veloute. I had a ham and mustard sandwich which was Exactly what it was! 2 meanish slices of ham slapped inside bread with a smear of mustard. No salad, no crusts taken off, no care. Served with some crisps. All incredibly disappointing and of course a ridiculous bill. I agree with the review that says style over substance. Sorry!

Fabulous fresh, locally sourced food. Relaxed, luxury accommodation. A warm Yorkshire welcome from staff. The attention to detail sets this hotel apart from the rest. It needs not be pretentious because it's soooo good!

Sehr schöne Räumlichkeiten, toll gelegen. Eine Portion Afternoontea reicht locker für zwei Personen und besteht aus verschiedenen Sandwiches, kleinen Scones und Kuchen. Sehr, sehr lecker! Ersetzt eine ganze Mahlzeit!!

I wanted to say what an amazing time we had at yorebridge house for our wedding.First of all the venue is amazing- we fell in love with this place two years ago when we booked our wedding here and it did not disappoint on the day. On arrival myself and a few of the bridal party stayed on the Friday night before the wedding and we were greeted with a complementary glass of prosecco. After that we checked into our rooms and we were not disappointed. We had the barn and the kariega room and both rooms were beautiful- comfy beds with hot tubs. The food was also divine.On the wedding day everything went perfect. A special mention to Sophie who did everything to ensure it was perfect from setting up the tables to organising seats outside for the speeches. Dave the owner was lovely and also Tori who helped us on the build up to the wedding ! The staff are amazing.All our guest really enjoyed the day there was not one complaint ! The food on the day was beautiful and all the guests who stayed loved the rooms.I cannot wait to come back for our anniversary but if anyone wants to visit yorebridge house please do not hesitate ! It's the most romantic hotel and worth the pennies.

Visited Yorebridge House for a friend's wedding. The setting was great with its own grounds and chairs and tables outside. Food served as part of the wedding breakfast was excellent, especially given the catering for 60-70 people. Some hot bread rolls and tasty butter, a cheese tart for starter, perfectly cooked sirloin beef with roast potatoes, potato purée, Yorkshire pudding and a rich jus to bring the dish together for main. Dessert was a soft brownie with vanilla ice cream, a real crowd pleaser. Further food of burger and chips / bacon sandwiches was served later in the evening which was also very tasty. The bar prices were pretty steep: £14 for a glass of Sauvignon Blanc and a pint of Black Sheep beer. The bar could have done with an extra staff member was queues were long for most of the night. There was a dearth of staff to ask later in the evening when we left about getting a taxi back to our hotel so we walked back to central Bainbridge (it's not far but there's no pavement). The venue was initially very hot as they had the heating on (it was c.14°C outside) and with all the bodies in the crowded bar but they later opened all the windows and the temperature was much more pleasant. Overall, it was a great venue for a wedding.

Just returned from having Sunday lunch which was quite simply one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. Food was superb; modern, innovative, seasonal cooking and beautifully presented. Service was excellent - what a great, professional, seamless team you have there. Thank you so much for a lovely lunch - will be returning as soon as possible to try the evening menu!

A wonderful evening ahead of our wedding in September of lovely food and wine in a stunning location. All of the Team looked after us in a relaxed and unhurried manner and our expecations of this gorgeous hotel where exceeded. Thank you for taking great care of us.

Yorebridge House is in a lovely setting just outside Bainbridge. Upon arrival we discovered it was a fixed 3 course menu for £60 per head. Luckily we liked enough of what was on offer, plus it was an anniversary meal so we were prepared to pay a bit more. Before & during the meal you are given various tasters & Amuse bouche which are great at clearing the palette. The main courses were all excellent with some beautiful combinations, ingredients, sauces etc but be aware - these dishes are not plate-fillers, more nouvelle cuisine. I think this would be perfect if you were celebrating a special occasion, but if you are after belt-stretching hearty fare at pub prices then I would look elsewhere.

Comfortable lounge and good selection of drinks. Never had better in Michelin star restaurants. Would eat there every night if I could afford it! Friendly service and staff go out of their way to help.

Very expensive for decent enough food.. Providing you aren't hungry. Served by robotic like restaurant staff so don't go expecting an ambiance or something filling.

Booked to celebrate a birthday and wasn't disappointed. The setting, decor and ambience was excellent - classy, relaxed and understated. The food, really very good! On the brink of Michelin starred.I must have missed the price of the set menu when I booked us in because there were no prices on the menu - which is a little disconcerting... (although, strangely, the price of additional desserts is indicated). It's £60pp by the way. Finally, while I would probably agree the prices are about right for the standard of food and service, drinks are expensive.It's very good. Do go.

We booked dinner for our wedding anniversary. The first time we've visited but we'll definitely return.Food was delicious, wide range of drinks, service impeccable, surroundings beautiful. Our only criticisms would be the cost of the vegetarian set menu (even the Michelin starred restaurants we've eaten at offer a discounted price for the vegetarian option) and, my husbands main (lamb) was on the edge of being too cold.

We attended a wedding here this weekend, a lovely venue with friendly staff. The only downside is the cost of drinks but everything you wanted was on offer. A lovely, intimate wedding venue with great food and atmosphere.

We stayed for one night in the Karegie room, which is based on an African theme but done very tastefully. There is a private garden with hot tub which overlooks the river. The room was well equipped and comfortable. The homemade sweets and cookies were a lovely touch. The bar and dining room are in the main house a short walk away. The food is both imaginative and bursting with flavours. Worth every penny and highly recommended. The only disappointment was the turn down service. It was literally turning down the sheet and closing the curtains.

A really lovely and special hotel. The staff, food and hotel are excellent. A really special experience.

Excellent food & service although the portions are quite small so you need the 5 courses and the waiter needs to speak up a little.

Me and my partner went here on Tuesday 14 March 17 for an evening meal. Initially I didn't expect much from the menu posted outside however what a fantastic meal. Very Michelin star rated and the staff were very friendly. Obviously more expensive than your normal restaurant meal however so worth the money. I can't fault the meal at all. We also had canapés to start and an amuse bouchée. Recommend anyone to try this place. Lovely.

We booked a table at Yorebridge House as a late valentines treat during our stay in the Dales. It was an exceptional treat from start to finish. Upon arrival we were offered drinks and given the menu to peruse. Every option sounded spectacular and after much deliberation we decided upon our starter and main courses. We were brought a selection of canapés, my favourite being the beetroot meringue. We had made the restaurant aware upon booking that I required gluten free food and this was catered for without fuss or issue. It was only when we were seated that I realised just how the chef had gone above and beyond - I was offered warm baked gluten free bread which was better than any bread I have eaten in the 5 years that I have been gluten free. Completely disregarding etiquette I spread the salted butter over each piece and ate most of it before my starter arrived. The starter was sublime; the flavours of pear, chocolate and venison combined to provide an indescribable sensation and I was in food ecstasy. But that was just the beginning! I was brought more bread and giggled in delight at each mouthful of food. My main of beef was equally delicious and having a choice of proper desserts is a dream for any coeliac. I could barely eat for the enormous grin on my face and I enjoyed every single mouthful. Do not miss out on this spectacular dining experience. The food is perfection, the staff were attentive and professional whilst also being genuinely warm and welcoming.

We really enjoyed our Sunday lunch and it was such good value. I could have done without the biewinto the kitchen and a bit less brown in the furnishings but we went for the food and it was excellent. The roast beef was delicious and tender and the trimmings matched.

Wow what a fabulous place. I wished that we had booked a room. However, the meal that I had booked for my partner’s birthday was fantastic. We were offered 3 types of canapés whilst we were waiting for our table. We were told that our meal had been delayed as there were still guests at our table. This did not matter as we had all the time in the world. We had ordered a bottle of wine which they topped up for free, as a gesture as they felt we were kept waiting in the lounge area. The atmosphere felt good, and the staff were very polite and attentive. The younger ones were just as courteous as the older ones, and must have been well trained. We had a laugh as I felt my chair vibrating. I was curious about this. We guessed it must have been coming from cooling in the wine cellars below.What an amazing meal. We had the set evening menu. Delicious starters, with amuse bouche between courses, savoury and sweet. A variety of homemade rolls was another touch. My partner enjoyed his cheese and biscuits to finish the meal. All the food was wonderfully presented and tasted exquisite. I could not fault anything.I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to coming back again.

By far some of the best food we have eaten this little Gem is as Good as any Michelin Place in the Area loved it xxxxxxxxxxxxx 5*

Four of us had lunch here today, amazing food, great flavours and presentation. Lovely ambience. We had a fantastic meal and wonderful time.

We attended a wedding reception here. The function rooms were lovely and cosy, perfect for a small wedding. Decorated to a stunning quality. The bar staff were very professional and speedy. The food was outstanding. I would recommend to anyone wanting their wedding reception there.

We had Sunday lunch here. Lovely smallish boutique hotel. We had drinks in a lounge with open fire while making out menu suggestions. We were then taken to our table in the restaurant which is light and breezy having an atrium. From the restaurant you can see the kitchen and the chefs working on the food. Our three course lunch was fantastic. The starters were a work of art presentation wise and very tasty. My only observation here is that my venison had very small amounts of venison, very thin slices to the point where the meat loses flavour as it has been sliced so thinly. No complaints on the main roast beef which was cut generously thick and cooked to perfection, slightly pink. The deserts were superb and presentation wise, beautiful. After lunch we returned to the lounge for coffee and newspapers. The bill including service was reasonable for the quality of the food and surroundings. The staff were very pleasant, effective, efficient and friendly without being over familiar. We will definitely return to Yorebridge House, which surely must be the areas best restaurant without question.

We had a wonderful stay in the St Jean room. Stunning room, beautiful bathroom and hot tub on a veranda with fairy lights adding to the atmosphere. The staff were all charming and hospitable, the bar lounge with warming fire and tasteful Christmas decorations was wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Booked through Mr and Mrs Smith (which comes complete with a glass each of Laurent Perrier on arrival). A good start to our overnight break.Stayed in the rangali (maldives) room. We arrived on an extremely wintry day to a lovely warm room. Beautifully decorated.The husband had yet again excelled himself and had booked a wonderful in-room massage with mobile masseuse sharon which was wonderful and relaxing. Dinner was worthy of it’s 3 rosette accolade. Service was attentive and we were so pleased that Henry had been promoted to Restaurant Manager. He is so attentive to guests and extremely personable.Breakfast was very nice. Plenty of choice. This is our fourth stay at Yorebridge House and cannot fault the food or service or indeed the themed rooms. We will be definitely returning for a fifth visit in the New Year.

We attended a wedding here, which was incredibly romantic. The venue and surrounding are stunning. The food was delicious, as well as having a good array of Gin's to choose from. Staff were very friendly.

Une très mauvaise expérience que ce diner où l'on est accueilli comme des gêneurs, peut être aussi comme des étrangers indésirables ? En tout cas après nous avoir relégués dans un endroit minable, il a fallu quémander pour pouvoir commander, pour avoir de l'eau, etc. Quant à ce qui se trouvait au fond de l'assiette !!! Le micro-onde avait tout surchauffé...Passez votre chemin...

Friendly, attentive yet discreet service from all of the knowledgeable staff. Dinner was exceptional, with high quality food prepared in a modern but understated manner. If you like your dining experience to be thoughtful and memorable, you must try this gem.

We stayed here for a couple of nights and ate in the restaurant. We would return again without hesitation. Beautiful setting. The most comfortable bed I have slept in away from home. Food was amazing and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. An absolutely delightful place to stay and eat........10/10

The location is beautiful with a boutique decor. Our room was lovely and comfortable. That's the good part. The interaction with most of the staff brought back to mind a prior experience at an expensive restaurant in London... not a good one. I always felt like I was imposing... Not warm or friendly .... The smile was there at times but felt insincere.

Very much enjoyed the event. The setting and ambience gave a feeling of luxury. The arrival of the splendid canapés as we sipped our gin and tonics made for a great start to our evening.We enjoyed the meal that was enhanced by very good service throughout.

Superb meal, good service, would recommend. The restaurant was good enough to accommodate our early arrival, it was no problem. The waiters could not have been more attentive and polite. Good variety of fare on the menu, price just about right for a fine dining experience.

Service was excellent, waiters were friendly and dinner was superb. Menu was small and unique but everything on there was executed to an extremely high standard. Compliments to the chef and his team, best restaurant in the area by far!!!
