Richard III Hotel

There was no breakfast available as the cook had apparently injured herself (not sure they really needed a cook to put out some cereal and make coffee and toast) and this was not communicated in advance, so we had brought no provisions with us. There was also no food available that evening for some unknown reason, which had also not been communicated anywhere to us. Nowhere else in Middleham was serving food so we had to drive to Leyburn in order to have dinner, which was annoying. The lady who checked us in was rather unhelpful and dismissive. We had to ask to have teabags in the room as none had been provided, only coffee and sugar, and the lady was again rather disgruntled at our request. The room was nice, although if you were tall you wouldn't have been able to have a shower as the ceiling in the bathroom was very low. Parking is also very tricky - when we got back from dinner at 9pm there were no spaces available nearby and we had to park at the other end of the town. It's a shame as we had been really looking forward to this stay and to dinner in the pub, and it could have been a lovely trip but turned into something rather Fawlty Towers-esque.

Bar & Restaurant closed early due to staffing issues - also not open for breakfast.

Happy to stay at the Richard III, and it was OK value for money. The only thing I would say is that the window aperture in room 3 was actually filthy - no other word can describe it. However, it did not upset my one night stay.

Great choice right in the centre of Middleham. Bed comfy. Room clean. Towels and Toiletries provided. Tea/Coffee/Milk in room. Pub great atmosphere. All round 10/10.

One night stay was ok, but couldn't get anything to eat so had to travel to get something had we known this we would have eaten before getting there, and no breakfast so a bit disappointed, a spoon for tea would have been nice & a bulb in the bathroom out.
