Goldsborough Hall

The Hall and Location are stunning. The grounds relaxing. Amazing history. Lovely areas to sit outside, in the library and drawing room. Amazing chandeliers. The staff are lovely. Also, the local pub 2 minutes walk away is open Wed to Sunday and has great food and drink and outside seating in a garden setting.

A lovely house beautifully presented. Lovely gardens. Would we stay again. Yes. But see below

The hotel is just superb, we are evening meal and breakfast, which were both fantastic, staff were very friendly, the gardens are just amazing

Beautiful building, furnishings and surroundings; comfortable air conditioned room

We spent three nights at Goldsborough Hall for my father-in-law’s 90th birthday, with nine of us staying across five rooms. Overall. we had an enjoyable stay.

The food was very good and the service throughout was excellent: friendly, attentive and professional without ever feeling intrusive. The Hall is set in a lovely village (Goldsborough), and has particularly stunning gardens. The head gardener was also wonderfully enthusiastic about sharing her knowledge, thoughts and ideas, which added to our enjoyment of the gardens.

We also liked the fact that the owners live in the Hall. They are clearly involved in the business, but do so without being intrusive, which gives the place a rather nice personal feel. We thought the accommodation represented reasonable value for money, although this will inevitably depend on the room category chosen.

If we had one reservation, it is that parts of the Hall are beginning to look a little tired. Some of the décor and carpets, in particular, feel somewhat dated. There are areas with rather more of a country pub feel than you might expect from a grand historic hall. That said, this is very much a matter of presentation rather than comfort or service, and it did not detract significantly from our stay.

I would also flag that the ground floor accessible room is somewhat depressing, with limited natural light and no outlook. For someone with a limited walking range, it is also a relatively long walk to other parts of the hotel, including the car parking facilities. Fine if you are a wheelchair user.

All in all, Goldsborough Hall provided a lovely setting for a very special family occasion. Good food, excellent staff, beautiful gardens and a relaxed atmosphere made it a memorable three-night stay.

We stayed at this wonderful hotel at the end of July to celebrate our 25th Silver Wedding Anniversary. We had a wonderful stay and were made to feel very special by all the staff.

As we stayed on a Monday and Tuesday, we dined in the Orangery restaurant. The main course we both ordered initially wasn't available, but the chef went out of his way to make it for us, so we weren't disappointed, which was a wonderful touch. All of the food we experienced at the hotel was delicious.

The hotel only has a small number of bedrooms, so it had an intimate feel to it. The grounds surrounding the hotel are beautiful, and it was lovely to have the freedom to roam around. We especially liked the kitchen garden and having cream tea on the terrace.

We'd love to visit again near to Christmas, to enjoy a wintry walk around the grounds, followed by a fireside whiskey in the library. Thank you so much for making our special occasion so lovely.

Breakfast was fine and the Orangery was exceptional. All the staff were brilliant.

We visited for a special occasion, it was the 80th birthday of a very close friend. The hotel requested feedback (which I have pasted below). What is disappointing is the complete lack of response. We had a mixed experience. We booked lunch to celebrate the 80th birthday of a close friend.
When we arrived, the lady on reception greeted us in a very professional manner and commented that we had booked lunch as an 80th birthday celebration, however, this was the only time that the reason for our visit was mentioned which was disappointing, as I thought that the hotel would have done something to make the visit seem more special.

We arrived early with the intention of having a pre-lunch drink but were actually shown straight to our table and after been offered water and given menus were not spoken to again for 15 minutes.

When a member of staff was passing, I had to request a full wine list as only a limited drinks menu had been left. The next interaction we had was with a member of staff asking if we were ready to order food. We said that we were ready to order a pre-lunch drink and ordered a bottle of champagne.

Things began to improve however when Christophe arrived. He immediately changed the whole mood and gave us 1st class service. He immediately recognised me as someone who had visited his restaurant 30 years ago and was quite superb.

We finished the meal with coffee in the library, but unfortunately had to chase the petit fours and were told that it was our fault that we hadn't been served with them as we hadn't specifically asked for them (despite the fact that coffee and petit fours were show as a single item on the menu).

The food was wonderful and well worth the almost £400 bill, but to operate at this level and at these prices it's important to get the little things right, and on this occasion you didn't.

We will visit the hotel again (as we have in the past) but will think twice about visiting again for such a special occasion.

Kind regards

I was a wedding guest on 23rd July 2026. I was the only guest with a dietary requirement and Alyssa on the hospitality team was so helpful with ensuring I received suitable canapés during the drinks reception. I felt well catered for and not at all a burden - thank you Alyssa!

Location and venue. Fantastic grounds.

Wonderful building and location

Well situated and had a real feel of luxury.

The Hall and it's gardens were lovely. The staff we met were mainly excellent. The room [Wheaton Suite] was very nice. the food was very good. The air conditioning was wonderful!
There were lovely touches from the owners, who took the time to write a personalised welcome message and met us during our stay.

Very beautiful location and it feels a million miles away 2026! Takes you to a slower pace of life, where nature helps soothe the nervous system.
The jacuzzi/whirlpool bath was a real treat!!
Air con in the room was pure luxury!

Great stay, with lovely room. The food was fantastic. Great location.

Fantastic Staff , Rooms were very nice, view of the gardens brilliant.
Food and hospitality excellent ,brilliant experience to relax.

The manor is gorgeous and the owners seem to be trying to create a luxury weekend stay. But we didn’t get that memo. We were treated with neutrality. We never felt special or really welcomed. We were sort of just there. Perhaps it’s because we reserved through Booking.com. We do get that often.There was nothing but ordinary in the service which meant I am not likely to ever return.

Wonderful helpful staff with lovely restaurant or patio overlooking the garden.
