Lovely staff, comfortable and tasty food
Pros:

Comfortable and friendly atmosphere

Cons:

Couldn’t be helped due to the age of the property (17th Century) but was a little bit difficult to navigate around for some of our (of a certain age) family.

Thirty Years of Dinning at Whitley Hall
Pros:

We have been going to dine at Whitley Hall for over 30 years, in that time we have seen many changes. However, one thing never changes good food, great atmosphere, helpful staff, and we have never felt rushed - no matter how long we sit in the lounge after dinner.

Beautiful hotel and grounds
Pros:

We visited Whitley Hall Hotel as a potential wedding venue. The location is easy to get to and we were immediately impressed by how beautiful the hotel and grounds are.

The appointment was informative and we were provided with plenty of information about what is available and the pricing without being overwhelmed. We also appreciated that we were given time to look over the brochure together and then given the opportunity to go away and consider our options without any pressure to make an immediate decision. Following this appointment, I reached out with a couple of other questions and received a reply quickly and addressed everything I wanted to know.

As I result, I have just contacted the venue to go forward with booking it for our upcoming wedding!

Exceptional
Pros:

Amazing place. Been going to Whitley Hall on a regular basis since our marriage over 4 years ago. Whether it be for a meal with family or overnight stays with my husband. The service is always 100 percent and all staff are very friendly, welcoming and attentive, ensuring you have a great experience.

The organisation and cleanliness is exceptional. The food is delicious and very creative with well put together flavours and menus. My favourite happy place. Well done to all at Whitley Hall, you certainly provide the best customer service.

A Hidden Gem
Pros:

Last-minute booking for us to stay overnight whilst visiting a relative in The Northern General.

Whitley is an absolute gem, nestled in a quiet valley less than 10 mins from J35 of the M1.

The staff were absolutely marvellous. From a complimentary glass of port in our well-appointed room on arrival, to pre-dinner cocktails in the lounge, the staff are always attentive and pleased to see you.

The restaurant staff take your order in the lounge before taking you through for dinner, where your chilled wine already awaits you at table.

We were sated after our mains but tempted by the excellent (and generously portioned) cheeseboard. Chef and the whole kitchen team well-deserving of praise.

After a long day travelling we retired to our very comfy bed and slept like little lambs - only noticing the beautiful Lamb carving above the door to the bar just before departure - right next to The Priestˋs Hole!

A really lovely hotel with lovely staff and we are looking forward to a longer stay in the near future.

Last minute booking
Pros:

My wife and I were booked into the restaurant for a valentines meal.
The hotel was fully booked but a cancellation became available during the afternoon so we decided to book.
The hotel met all our expectations. The staff were warm and friendly and although there was a wedding service was not compromised.
There was complimentary port in the room which was a nice touch.
The bar was intimate and cosy with a real fire.
The food and service in the restaurant was first class.
Overall a wonderful stay.
