My wife and I have been to Hambleton Hall several times and chose it as the venue for our wedding in 2006.

The service is faultless. The whole experience is more like staying in a large country house, but with far better food! From the moment you arrive, everything is done perfectly. The staff are attentive, without being overbearing and there are subtle touches that make your stay, no matter how short, memorable.

Whether you want lunch, dinner or a pampered weekend away, it is the perfect place to spend time with someone special.

They have also changed the way I cook poached eggs - they are now perfect every time!

Fabulous free range pork and sausages. Very highly recommended.

If you remember how pork is supposed to taste, you will find it again here.

Make sure you go and have a look at the pigs!
