Id like to start by saying that the people who work at the Wordsworth are among the friendliest and most helpfull i have come across. My Fiancee has coelliac (gluten intolerance) but was catered for excellently including gluten free scones for afternoon tea and Toast in the morning. This may not sound like alot but its still quite rare for... More

My very nice staff have been deeply offended by your comments, you compliment the food your husband had and then are very unkind about your meal. It all comes from the same kitchen, which has been awarded two AA rosettes year on year. I do wish you had told me at the time you didn't enjoy the food and we... More

Just had a lovely weekend making the most of their winter sale offer which was excellent value for money. Beautiful food, especially the evening meal which was outstanding. Courteous and helpful staff, not a bit stuffy and formal, nice room, lovely pool and jacuzzi. Hotel was full in January which I think speaks for itself. Brillant ! More

Lovely hotel, with amazing staff and lovely manager thank you for a perfect stay. Myself and my friend throughly enjoyed our meals both nights in the Signature restaurant, it was excellent from start to finish. The breakfast was as perfect as our evening meals. The resident lounge and garden room are lovely and cosy, and the open fire which you... More

We spent a few days here between christmas and new year. Almost all of our experiences of the hotel were good - the room was clean and well furnished (if incredibly warm when we first arrived), and the staff were without exception very helpful with any queries. The overall atmosphere in the hotel was good and relaxed, and the hotel... More

Thanks for your comments. I'm so sorry about the food, as all our produce is seasonal and fresh we do offer a more limited menu between Xmas and NY due to what our suppliers can provide. We do have Winster Beer and Hawkshead Ale in our Bistro and pub, but due to no cellar space we can't offer it from... More

There are lots of ways to determine good qualities of a hotel, and my preferred measure of all the good signs coming together is in the admin. It all starts there, with the first enquiry then on to the reservation and through to the final bill. I was initially impressed with the Wordsworth from our first enquiry at reception and... More

I stayed only one night before meeting up with friends the next day. I arrived late after a long drive and received a very warm welcome as they were waiting for me. The team made sure I knew that the kitchen was about to close and checked to see whether I needed anything to eat - they wanted to make... More

We arrived at the Wordsworth after a snowy drive over from Whitby to find we had been upgraded to a brand new redecorated en suite room overlooking the gingerbread shop and the beautiful rolling hills. The staff were very welcoming on arrival and throughout our weekend break. We ate in the restaurant on both nights because the food was so... More

Wow what a glowing review, thank you so much. It's lovely to be appreciated. We've now refurbished practically every inch of the hotel so hopefully you will find all the rooms lovely, but the most recent you stayed in must have been Rm 5 over looking the Gingerbread Shop. Happy New Year. More
