Middlethorpe Hall & Spa is a William III country house close to the historic city of York and set in 20 acres of its own gardens and parkland. Built in 1699, it was once the home of the famous diarist, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu.

After a period of neglect, the Hall was sympathetically restored with decorations, antiques and fine pictures carefully chosen as consistent with the period of the house. The gardens and parkland have also been restored and include ha ha1s, a white garden, a walled garden, a small lake and some beautiful specimen trees.

The comfortable and fully equipped bedrooms, each decorated individually, are both in the house and in the attractively restored 18th century courtyard next to it.

The paneled dining rooms overlooking the gardens and the imaginative food, much praised in all the guide books, follows the hotel theme of traditional excellence. There are two rooms available for private luncheon and dinner parties.

The Health and Fitness Spa contains a large swimming pool, spa bath, steam room, sauna, a gym and a club room where meals and drinks are served. The Spa also has three beauty salons with qualified therapists providing the latest treatments using Decléor, ESPA and Jessica products.
