"Nice hotel in a beautiful location on the edge of the market square in Masham. The staff were really friendly and our room was good, it's a shame the bar closes early, we were up there for a gig at the Town Hall and wanted a drink afterwards with our friends, luckily the Bruce Arms were very accommodating. A nice place to stay, a shame there were no biscuits in the rooms for your afternoon cuppa though."

Top Thornton Steward Hotel Reviews

Blackwell Grange Hotel

8/10 Good

"Me & my partner stayed here for 2 nights for his birthday, the hotel was nice enough however we had booked an 'executive' room which we were very disappointed with. The room was very large and looked impressive on arrival but after spending some time relaxing we noticed that there were a number of issues including very stained and grubby/worn out carpet, plug sockets by the bedside not working, broken furniture and fixtures, sticky pads on the wall above the bed and no curtains, just very fiddly wooden shutters that did not block out the light at all and made the room feel very uncomfortable and gave a cold atmosphere. There was also a lot of noise from other guests which made us feel quite unsettled. After speaking to reception we were able to move to another room which was much more comfortable but there was still a lot of noise from other guests unfortunately. On a positive note we did try the breakfast which we enjoyed and there was a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant, The hotel is a beautiful building overall, and everything else was good, we just felt that the room we were given was not as described and not of the standard expected for an executive room."
