What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
A 17th-century coaching inn in the North Yorkshire market town of Malton … is now a classic-meets-modern, boutique-inspired 26-room hotel.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The River Derwent runs past the garden lawn, and Malton's artisan food shops sit a short stroll away.
The rooms
Flea-market antiques stand beside bright velvet headboards, and select rooms have roll-top baths looking out across the fields.
At the table
The dining room serves seasonal Yorkshire dishes beneath a glass atrium, and the wood-panelled bar pours local craft ales.
How it began
The building served as a 1672 lodge for horse-racing companions before opening as a coaching inn in 1743.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
