We stayed for one night at the Mallyan Spout Hotel in a Superior Double. We were on the top floor which is a bit of a hike, but a nice attic room with views over the gardens which were looking lovely despite the recent, ongoing drought. The room was south-facing which meant it was very hot in the afternoon when we arrived. Luckily, there was a fan provided and we brought an evaporative cooler which together made the heat more bearable, but still quite hot.
The garden is a lovely spot for a drink and to enjoy the views over the Moors. We didn't eat at the hotel, so we can't comment on the food for dinner, but the breakfast was excellent. There is the offer of a free glass of fizz (of which we didn't partake), a good buffet of pastries, meat, cheese, juices, and very nice parfaits of yogurt, oats and berries. Of course, there is a full Yorkshire breakfast with excellent black pudding and very good sausage, but also the opportunity to have Whitby kippers which are legendary! There are a number of other choices from avocado toast to Eggs Benedict. A cafetiere of very good coffee as well.
We would certainly stay again, but perhaps in a room facing the back to avoid sun and maybe not during the hottest day of a very hot summer!
