Sutton Hall Resort

Absolutely loved this place. Only stayed one night, but the apartment was clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. Less than 5 minutes from Thirsk by car, it is a perfect base for a family if you wanted to go sightseeing. We just wanted a night away for grandma, daughter and granddaughter and it was perfect. If I had any criticism it would be the pool was very cold .

We were in the Rosedale ground floor one bed flat. I advise you to arrive by 5pm, before the office shuts until Monday, or you might have difficulty finding your accommodation; the name 'Rosedale' is not to be seen. You might also have difficulty with the heating; there are six pages of instructions for the three radiators (couldn't follow them so we were cold), and none for the electric woodburning stove (whose wall switch said 'on' but did nothing. There is in fact an invisible switch underneath the stove. No double glazing so plenty of condensation and the bathroom had blinds but climbing over the bath to open or close them was better suited to a contortionist. The basin light had a loose connection (?) and flickered constantly (when it went on); the socket close to the dressing-table (ideal for the hairdryer) would not accept any 3 pin plug; the kitchen hot tap dries up completely when other flats are also using it. Does nobody ever check these things? We will not return.

A stunning resort with everything you need on site, set in beautiful grounds with spacious clean rooms, a bonus for us was the use of the pool all to ourselves for an hour at a time, staff were very welcoming and friendly, there was access to a fitness room sauna and hot tub and also lovely grounds if you desire going for a walk, I couldn’t recommend it enough and anyone booking here won’t be disappointed
