Went back again in April for 3 days of glorious weather with 2 friends, we were very lucky to (a) have caught a nice break in the weather and (b) experienced not the slightest deterioratiion in the excellent and friendly service and the glorious food.

We stayed for two nights and wanted to stay forever. There is absolutely nothing that we would change at this perfect B&B. Our hosts were cultured, warm and clearly enjoy having guests in their house. The food was high quality and beautifully cooked and presented. The bedroom was spacious & had 'the view' and the beds were comfy. We can't... More

We have stayed with Phillip and Anton here several times and their welcome and friendliness is always wonderful. It is a lovely house tastefully furnished with mature gardens and a great view over the fields and hills. The highlight (not including afternoon tea and freshly baked biscuits) is the evening 4 course meal prepared by Phillip and served with wit,... More

When you come to Shallowdale House you enter a soothing and serene wonderland of peace, tranquillity and good taste. Proprietors Anton and Phillip have personally... More

We stayed here for one night on our cycling holiday. Shallowdale House is a large modern-build house with three guest bedrooms, guest sitting room and dinning room. The rooms are immaculately styled, clean and well maintained. However, what makes Shallowdale House special are the hosts: their attention to detail is simply sublime. They clearly enjoy people, and display sensitivity to... More

Arrived at this beautifully situated mirror to be met by Philip Gill who greeted us by name which was a good indication of our visit to come. Checked in on a lovely antique table with gorgeous views out over the fields in the best part of North Yorkshire. On entering our room, there was a snug area with a writing... More

This is a superlative place, which cannot be faulted. The room I stayed in had a wonderful view across open fields, and I believe the views from other rooms are equally good. The food is utterly wonderful, and original, with things that you will not find on most menus, other than really upmarket restaurants. The hosts' attention to detail is... More

We go to Shallowdale House Hotel 2-3 times a year and love it. Only 3 bedrooms all comfortably furnished with magnificent views over the hills -2 with ensuite bathrooms and the third with a private bathroom across the hall. Phillip and Anton greet you on arrival, help with the luggage and if you are around at 4pm ish, they put... More
