The Old Lodge

Lovely location

Didn't have the breakfast because we hsd been so disappointed with the room

This is an elegant and striking building which is undergoing extensive refurbishment and renovation. The buildings and rooms are full of character. You will see signs of the work on the exterior of the building during your stay. However, the character of the property makes it well worth a visit despite this minor inconvenience. It is clear that the new owners are determined to make a thorough and professional job of this long-term project.
In addition, the service throughout our stay was nothing short of exceptional : a special mention to Lucy in the Reception area who was welcoming, charming and unfailingly helpful.

We loved the historic old building and had been there for a family function several years ago but hadn’t stayed. The rooms were large and the beds comfy. The staff were welcoming when we turned up early, they said our rooms were ready and let us check in. Breakfast was made to order so the food was freshly cooked and hot. Although we did not have an evening meal there the menu looked appealing.

Lovely gardens, we had a downstairs garden room which had a lovely sitting space that faced onto the gardens. Staff seemed very friendly and helpful. The hotel bar has a good atmosphere. It is an easy walk down the hill into the centre of Malton.

Location

lovely friendly staff great location views lovely food good room clean & comfortable.

Fairly central position and is within walking distance of the town. Has a good bar and restaurant

Excellent service the staff are so friendly
The food was very good in the restaurant simple menu but affordable and effective

We arrived and was told that they couldn’t let us stay as there was no other person on site overnight and it wouldn’t be covered by insurance

The lodge was very historic and interesting

The old charm

Lovely staff, very accommodating. Friendly and helpful.

Had an overnight stay with my wife to celebrate my birthday. Stayed in room 14, first impression when opening the door, the room was vary dated, this room has not recently been refurbished, the paintwork was gruby and marked, the room was drab, we nevertheless unpacked , and had a cup of tea, half hour later the floorboards were creaking make a hell of a noise as someone moved in next door, we could hear everything the said, we could hear them go to the toilet, all night we could hear them turn over in bed, did not sleep very much all night. We went down for breakfast, our room number was also our table number, our table was next to another table with a dog the size of a Shetland pony, this dog smelled awful, and was banging against my seat, I got up and moved table, this made me and my wife feel very, very uncomfortable, but I could not sit and eat my breakfast while a massive dog, that stunk, was banging against my chair.
The breakfast took 3/4 of an hour to arrive, but to be fair, was very nice.
I know you said the place was dog friendly, but to have them in the restaurant is a NO for me. It is a large place you need to sort a separate room for guests with dogs,
The other small thing, there was no toilet brush in the toilet, why, not sure, I know you can say you do not mind cleaning when you clean the room, but I like to leave the toilet for my wife to come into as clean as possible.
The price for an overnight stay is not cheap, I expected a lot more when I looked at the Web site, the rooms look a lot nicer than the one we stayed in, obviously selected the nicer rooms for the advertisement.
