Such a lovely establishment in a tiny village. Our room was spacious and the bathroom gorgeous with a walk in shower and a great bath for those that prefer a soak. Breakfast was so good and fresh. Orange juice and still water on the table ., without asking for. Negatives . No pub in the village .... positives , thankfully, otherwise i am moving in.Just 10 minutes away from Richmond Town that takes you back you a bygone time . It’s a must if you like Yorkshire and lovely peace and tranquility
The room has Comfy/Cozy bedroom with a lovely open shower and the best breakfast in town. With plenty of walks and pubs on the doorstep Hack and spade is not to be missed when heading away to the country for the weekend.
A lovely bed and breakfast was enjoyed with this visit. The accommodation is clean, well decorated and looked after and the breakfast is A-plus standard- really excellent and asking for more juice and toast was met with delight rather than a frown which leads me into my appraisal of the lady (owner I believe) who looked after us; a friendly welcome is always the best start. Well done to the Hack & Spade. The shoulder of mutton pub in the next village about 15 minute walk up the road can help you out for a nice meal and drink.
We stayed for 1 night on 15th August. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean. The location was ideal, a short drive into Richmond but very very peaceful and quiet. Breakfast was lovely, lots of choice and the lady that looked after us was helpful suggesting things to do in the local area and helping us with where to book in for food.
An excellent stay. The rooms are delightful, carefully furnished and well presented, with fine countryside views. Location is superb - a few miles from the A1(M) and A66 but in Whashton, a really quiet hamlet. There is plenty to see and do in all directions from the village: Durham, the Yorskshire Dales, moorland walking, Mediaeval castles. Jane was most welcoming and her breakfasts were the best we have had for some time. Very good value for money.
Fantastic place lovely little find, the rooms were immaculate and very well presented everything was clean and Jane was so lovely and couldn’t do enough for us, breakfast was also lovely definitely worth a visit
We have recently spent a couple of nights at the hack and spade, on the first weekend of opening since lockdown. We have stayed at the hack and spade several times before, and can quite honestly say it is one of the nicest, welcoming places we have ever stayed. The setting of this quaint b&b is beautiful, the dales in all its glory. It is only a short drive from Richmond, Northallerton and Durham, as well as market towns and villages such as leyburn and bedale. Jane is the perfect host. Anything you need is taken care of, she always has time for a chat but isn’t overly intrusive and allows her guests the peace and privacy that her beautiful establishment offers. The hack and spade is a home from home for us, our perfect getaway. Highly highly recommended
We have just returned from a delightful short stay of four nights at The Hack & Spade. Like lots of other businesses during Lockdown, Jane has found things a bit tough so we were pleased to learn that bookings are now picking up after we were the first back as restrictions are relaxed. The charm and friendliness of The Hack & Spade is just as we remember.Our room was spotlessly clean and so very, very comfortable! Jane is clearly taking on board the guidlines she has been given to ensure Social Diastancing etc. With the excellent service provided we are confident that people - new and returners like us, will want to make The Hack & Spade one of their very favourite B & Bs Good luck Jane
Really gorgeous guest house which is more like a five star hotel. I recommend the Zetland Room - a huge bedroom with the biggest hotel bathroom I have ever seen. Breakfast is lovely too, and the owners are very friendly. The best place I have stayed in a long time.
Yet another fantastic return to this fabulous accommodation. Made to feel very welcome by the owner, Jane. The rooms were spotless. My wife and I and another couple stayed here after a 3 day road trip to the Dales in our classic cars ( MGA and Triumph stag). We arrived in a very sticky condition at the end of the hottest day of the year. The cold lagers and gin and tonics were very welcome. We'll be back next year.
