We called in here for a meal en route to Middleham. Not having been in here before we were amazed by the size and variety of the building. We found the dining room and were given a choice of tables although they were very busy. We both ordered lambs liver followed by fruit crumble. Absolutely delicious - the food was... More

We went on a late deal just for one night to get 'away from it all', the member staff on reception when we arrived was pleasant enough and told us were our room was. It was a hike to say the least, I have a disability and it was a struggle to get the room.Maybe this should be mentioned to... More

Rambling old place, and raised nearby I have known it all my life. The owners could spend a bit more on it I suppose. Last there for quite difficult family reasons. The welcome I got was delightful, when I returned late in the evening the hospitality of the bar staff made everything seem ok again, and I have another warm... More

......this was a coaching house halfway between London and Edinburgh, on the "Great North Road". But times have changed and Northallerton is now a relatively quiet place, except for the last Wednesday of the month when the "Farmers Market" occupies half the High Street! This hotel is now privately owned having formerly been a Trust House Forte property and I... More

This is an old hotel which has been updated but still needs some more investment. Friendly and helpful staff and room comfortable with excellent bathroom/en suite. The bed was too soft for my liking and maybe new mattresses should be next on the list. Good breakfast but better orange juice please More

, we arrived, was told where our room was went up and it havent been cleaned so we asked for another room, it was on the front street of which was very noise on a night. there was a layer of dust on the bedhead and just didnt enjoy the trip. the breakfast was rubbish. More

My immediate impression of the hotel was very favourable. The Golden Lion is an olde-worldy hotel on the main street of Northallerton, right opposite the famous Betty's tea rooms. There is plenty of parking, both on the street outside and in the hotel car park behind the hotel. I was welcomed very professionally at reception and the open fires in... More

This is a very old hotel so the layout wont suit some guests. There is no lift and some steep stairs but that helps give it character. The public rooms downstairs have all been refurbished. It has a multitude of nooks and crannies where you can sit for a drink or to work or read. There are also at least... More

Beautiful old property with a good reputation which is soon going to be worthless unless some big improvements are made. The staff were very friendly and helpful, but the room was a big disappointment. The hotel bills itself as non-smoking, as indeed all public places are in England nowadays, but my corridor and indeed even the room smelt appallingly of... More
