Enjoyable stay
Pros:

Great location comfortable room friendly staff nice bar and lots of rabbits in the grounds

Cons:

The first room we we were given was accessed from outside and noisy so had to change rooms. The restaurant menu didnt impress and dining room separate from breakfast room was a bit soulless

Pros:

On arrival at the beautiful lodge we checked in and were informed we weren’t on site but staying at the annex building, not on site . So effectively we stayed in a bedsit not even in the grounds, this was not advertised. The bedsit was terrible, several holes in ceiling, curtain pole incorrectly fitted so didn’t close, cheap bathroom flooring, cheap flimsy bed. This was a student bedsit not a hotel. This is my first ever rant on accommodation, normally I’m easily pleased but this was not a stay at the lodge at Malton. Staff were excellent.

Zeer mooi hotel, mooi locatie en mooie kamers
Pros:

Erg mooie kamers en goed verzorgt,
Wat ons tegen viel was de kwaliteit van het eten ( ala Cart)
Het ontbijt was matig, oude croissants en geen beleg zoals kaas of ham maar enkel wat fruit en yoghurt, dat kan beter enn wat uitgebreider voor het geld wat je er voor betaald

Cons:

Ontbijt en het eten
