Sutton Hall Resort

Just a short drive into Thirsk to with good pubs and very good restaurants. Lovely swimming pool but too cold for us to use hot tub and sauna. Large apar**ent with plenty of seating and great views. Short journeys to York, Ripon, and many small towns.

Comfy bed and good towels. Cottage was well equipped, for eating in. Didn't use sauna or hot tub as outside and it was very cold. Private use of pool was nice. Location good for North York moors and York and Ripon.

cannot fault this lovely hotel, perfect for a family stay when visiting Castle Howard for my birthday, quiet, immaculate, lovely setting and garden, lots of parking, comfiest beds ever, well equipped kitchen and bathroom with bath and shower, fluffy towels, private swimming pool suite with hot tub/jacuzzi, gym, games room and lots of books to read, super, thank you so much!

On arrival we were greated by the receptionist, who gave us an info pack and explained where are cottage was. The cottage is nice and airy, very clean with a well equipped kitchen, we had a small patio area to sit and enjoy the sunshine. You have to book if you want to use the facilities we had booked time in the hot tub which we enjoyed. The grounds are lovely and well maintained. I slept on the sofa bed which was extremely comfortable, the only thing I would say is the shower is not very powerful, but really enjoyed it next time we will book for longer.

Friendly staff. Spotlessly clean. Rosedale cottage has a lot of charm and really spaceous. Would highly reccommed Sutton Hall for a couple or family. Loved the use of swimming pool and the hottub. Grounds are lovely for a winter stroll. Looking forward to coming again in the spring/summer.

The property is stuck in the last century. Even if they have no care for the environment, fuel costs must force an update. The insulation of the property is appalling. Rotten, single glazed windows running with condensation. Cold walls and floors. Despite large electricity bills the rooms are cold. The cost of naff false wall panelling would have been better spent on plain insulation for walls. The lounge in the Sutton Suite is large, but the remainder of the apar**ent small and poorly laid out. Very tight both side of the bed. Large bath dominating the bathroom with insufficient space in front of toilet as a consequence. Acceding shower over bath difficult, avoid if you have any mobility issues. Kitchen tiny and without a dishwasher. Tiny kitchen a particular issues as no restaurant on site, and only public house in village now closed, so need for self catering. Advice take pictures of both electricity meters on arrival and departure, as I was overcharged by £40 for electricity use. I had read a previously read on online report about overcharging so had prospectively collected the evidence, and was able to challenge the bill. The quality of self catering holiday accommodation in the UK is now generally outstanding, often better than one’s own home! This not always the case, and resorts like Sutton Hall need to enter the 21st Century.

I was very impressed to find this little gem hidden away in North Yorkshire. The managers have done a great job maintaining the history of the property but have introduced new furniture to make it comfortable. We thought we had booked an apar**ent but we were very pleasantly surprised when we were allocated a cottage. It was fantastic for our night away. Plenty of room for 3 adults. Very clean which was wonderful. The views are amazing and it’s such a relaxing place. We used the hot tub which was a nice little addition to our holiday. The following day we took the woodland walk in the sunshine. We will def be returning. Thank you

Sutton Hall provides a nice base for exploring North Yorkshire. A 45 minute drive from York, v it is 3 miles from the village of Thirsk, home of James Herriot and the Yorkshire Vet. The resort is not super fancy, but the unit I had in the main house was spacious with a fairly well stocked kitchen. Has charm. Would stay again.

This was our first ever stay at Sutton Hall, but we will definitely be back. What a lovely place! We all thought it was wonderful to have private use of the facilities (particularly the swimming pool), which is done via a pen and paper booking system in the foyer. Our apar**ent was very well equipped, very clean, cosy and smelled nice. We were fortunate to be in the Roulston apar**ent which has a balcony overlooking a picturesque view of the grounds and is a lovely place to sit and have breakfast (even in February). We had a walk around the grounds, which I think will be very pretty in Summer and has numerous picnic tables, a stream running through it, tennis courts and micro golf facilities. We didn't have time to use the hot tub, but it's in a great location overlooking the grounds. The small fitness room looked decent (although we didn't use it) and we appreciated having extra space in the lounge to enjoy a few games of pool. We only saw one member of staff (the receptionist) but she was very friendly and welcoming. My 8 year old son was gutted to be leaving so soon and asked if we could move to Sutton Hall permanently, because he enjoyed the stay so much. Thanks to all of the staff at SH for ensuring our stay was so enjoyable.
