Today we returned home from a three night break at the Burgoyne Hotel, in Reeth, North Yorkshire. It was simply put the most incredible three days away we have EVER had. Having experienced stays in hotels all over the world, we rate this hotel as the best. The village itself is warm and welcoming, with all the genteel charm of a bygone era. The Burgoyne is at the centre of the village, step through it's doors and step back in time, into an establishment where nothing ( And we do mean nothing) is too much trouble. All the staff are very personable, extremely helpful and utterly professional. The hotel is dog friendly! We took two dogs on our visit, one of which is a ten month old Great Dane puppy, not a problem. Towels are provided to dry your wet pet after exploring the spectacular Yorkshire Dales National Park. The period decor in the Hotel is superb, with two sitting rooms full of comfortable sofas and chairs, the larger of the two having a lovely open fire to sit by, and you can take your pet to sit with you. The hotel serves stupendous breakfasts from a very large menu to suit all tastes. The afternoon teas are a new addition and not to be missed. The dinner menu changed daly and the selection of local produce was expertly transformed into dishes of delight by Chef Paul Salonga and his team. Individual dishes were prepared to cater for my particular food alergy without a fuss. We stayed in the Marrick suite, which boasts an enormous four poster bed in a huge bedroom with an en suite bathroom and walk in dressing room. The views of Swaledale from our widow, looking out over the village green to the magnificent dales beyond was breathtaking. But the real jewels in this veritable crown are Julia and Mo Usman. They gave us a level of personal service that we have NEVER experienced before and in hotels three times the price. Disregard what has gone before, Julia and Mo the new owners will treat you better than royalty! If you want to stay in a hotel that will give you the utmost in service and comfort, go to the Burgoyne. We will be returning as soon as we can.
