We had an overnight friday stay. First floor room at the front overlooking the square. Surprisingly quiet. Nice clean room - all they usual facilities. Comfy beds. Nice food, lovely friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Free parking is a winner. Lovely breakfast. would recommend.

Friendly staff easy checking service, the room was clean and tidy and the bed was very comfortable received everything that was expected from a hotel was very calm quiet night to wind down in and had amazing night sleep .

We stayed at The Owl Hambleton one night ago, and I only just about feel recovered enough to write a review. The room was clean, staff friendly, and there were multiple sockets for all of our devices to charge overnight. No issues there. What scarred me for life, however, was the paper thin walls between our room and the couple’s next door. I had just settled into bed (which was far too soft, and i did struggle to get comfortable- I prefer firm mattresses. Husband slept like a log.), and I heard the rather loud arrival of the couple in number 4, all giggly and tipsy. They continued to talk and laugh loudly and then the noises became somewhat different. Moans and loud groans of pleasure emanated from them, at first quite fast and loud- the pounding must have been quite intense at that point- and then motion must have been slowed to a tease as the moans remained frequent, but with at least 3 seconds between each one, each getting louder and higher pitched. Now, this went on for a good twenty minutes and was quite uncomfortable to listen to. I felt like I was in the room with them for the volume they reached. What was most baffling was there was no sound from him, until a rather loud finish which sounded more like a garbled toe stub, and the woman never seemed to reach her happy ending, which after all the effort she put in throughout the duration of the show, I was slightly disappointed for her. I didn’t sleep until midnight due to this and the softness of the bed, which meant I was very tired the next day, where my next traumatic experience occurred. After a morning visit to the toilet, it blocked and would not empty out. I tried to look for a loo brush to dislodge the toilet paper and additional debris, but the bathroom did not have one. I didn’t fancy asking some poor staff member to come and unblock it, so I used the bin liner from the empty bathroom bin to cover my hand and arm and manually tackle it. All was fine unti I removed my hand and realised the bag had split and I’d been unblocking a toilet with my own bare hands. I don’t think we’ll be coming back to the Owl until walls are thicker and bog brushes are supplied in all rooms.

I held my ‘significant’ birthday party at the Parsonage and it was fabulous. I had the Crystal Suite which was perfect for my 40+ guests with a 6 piece live band and dance floor. All of the planning and preparation was seamless, with the team being flexible, efficient and helpful. We had 15 bedrooms, at a special rate, for guests who wanted to stay over. The team couldn’t do enough for us on the night. The food was delicious and all the guests complimented it. The service was both friendly and efficient. We had an absolutely top night and the whole event was great value for the quality we received. I’d heartily recommend for an event.
