ザ ダンテ アームズ(The Dante Arms)

The radiator in the room didn't work. I went to see the staff, and the boiler wasn't switched on, which is very strange for January !!. The boiler was on but the radiator didn't work on either day of my visit. 2 heaters were provided, but the person in charge wasn't aware of the issue with the boiler/radiator, which was poor in my view.

This place did not live up to previous reviews. The building was dilapidated. The wallpaper was ripped. The room was small with very old furnishings snd furniture. You had to walk through a tiny kitchen to access the rooms. It was very noisy. If somebody used a tap the whole building could hear it. We finally got to sleep at 4.00am. We didn’t want to eat our evening meal there and so went to the pub next door. Breakfast was limited. Cereal was corn flakes or muesli not much choice. Definitely not value for money.

The room was small you had to close the door to get past the bed and there was no remote for the TV. but it was clean and the staff was very pleasant and professional. I would stay again.

Property was well located food was simple but plentiful and tasty. Good choice of alcoholic beverages and a lovely beer garden. Landlady was very pleasant and put us at ease and made us very welcome.

Really great stay here for a night. It was situated in a lovely quiet place. Couple of nice pubs close by which had good food. Hosts were friendly and polite, especially the sweet little doggo! Rooms were tidy and had really good amenities, along with a fire stick so we were able to stream Netflix. Full English breakfast in the morning was really good. Overall would stay here again!

Stayed here for 2 nights to attend a wedding at The Forbidden Corner. Very comfortable stay. Emma and her team were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Had the full English breakfast which was very tasty. Beautiful part of the world. Loved watching the racehorses trotting through the town on their way to the gallops for their daily exercise.

The first thing that Dante Arms (Emma) asked me when I arrived was a query about my arriving earlier than announced. Other than that interaction, the staff was polite and helpful. The accommodations at Dante were exceptionally good for such a small hotel in a small town. Yes, the Dante is very old with beamed ceilings but that is the charm of a small country hotel. The room rates are especially good. The only shower of my eight English hotels that had a bathmat was the one at Dante Arms in Middleham. Congratulations, Dante. Also Dante had a shower which could easily regulate the temperature unlike most of my previous hotels. The room rate was good: I was in room five with a rack rate of only £75 (ca $100). My room also had a hot water bottle covered with cloth, a nice comfort for wintertime nights. Lastly, Dante Arms offered Half of a full breakfast, which is good because I usually could not complete a whole full English breakfast. Dante's bar was good for beer and hamburgers. One unexpected benefit of the Dante was its proximity to the stalls for race horses which clopped each morning in front of the hotel.

Access after hours was useful. Very friendly staff

Great hotel with a lovely homely atmosphere. The staff were really friendly. Lovely bar and area. We would stay here again.
