Expected better for the price
Pros:

Nice grounds & a historic building

Cons:

Carpark was like a builders yard & scaffolding around the building - which in itself wasn’t a problem but we were told the builders didn’t start until 8.30am , which would have been fine - but in fact they started at 7.30am & we woke to find a stonemason & scaffolder working outside our bedroom window.
So we had to bathe & dress with the curtains closed so couldn’t enjoy any of the views & tranquillity.
In addition, wasps kept appearing from the bathroom light fitting

A perfect place capturing the essence of yesteryear.
Pros:

The Old Lodge is a beautiful place set in acres of lush green countryside. Car parking is ample, friendly staff, rooms clean and comfortable, and the food is excellent. If you like olde world charm, this place has everything. There is no shortage of things to do in Malton, with a great concert venue in The Milton Rooms.

Cons:

There was nothing not to like,

Website says 4* but 3* hotels we stayed in this trip,Harrogate,Goathland,&Saltaire where much better
Pros:

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

Cons:

The decor shabby & tired & was something from the 60s. The radiator didn't work in the bedroom. The lamp didn't work. The other lighting was very dim. The shower was very weak & the TV was from the turn of the century plus the hotel is a building sire with scaffolding outside our bedroom window. Had to go to reception for the WiFi & at check-in weren't told about the building works outside our window. This is not a 4* hotel & the website is very misleading

An elegant gem undergoing careful restoration
Pros:

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.

Comfortable 'historic' venue and stay but certainly not 4*
Pros:

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.

Cons:

The room was comfortable, but, like many of the reviews here, the cleanliness wasnt great. We came home from a day out in York, to find that housekeeping had been in (tea and buiscuits replaced! which is how we knew!) but the bed wasnt made, the cushions not plumped; bins not emptied - It was pretty poor! I did complain (nicely) to the front desk, and they were very receptive to the feedback and they did offer us a free drink at the bar, but it was certainly not a 4* service. If it had been me on reception, I would have popped back to our room and made the bed myself - and certainly offered more than just a free drink. Our table at breakfast was dirty, as was the crockery. It was more like a 3* hotel and service...
