Set within 20 acres of private gardens and parkland in York, this magnificent late 17th century country house has been fully restored to offer a peaceful rural retreat.

Built in 1699, Middlethorpe Hall was once the home of the famous diarist, Lady Mary Wortley Montague. An original William III country house, the hall has been fully restored and is now decorated with antiques and fine pictures, carefully chosen as consistent with the period of the house. The gardens and parkland have also been restored and include ha ha's, a white garden, a walled garden, a small lake and some beautiful specimen trees.

Now part of the National Trust, with all profits donated to the charity, Middlethorpe Hall is owned by Historic House Hotels, who also own Hartwell House, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, and Bodysgallen Hall, North Wales.For conferences and retreats, Middlethorpe Hall's estate provides an exclusive environment in which privacy and confidentiality are assured. Discerning business travellers will be pleased to find themselves in a setting where the executive services and facilities they require, as well as leisure activities they enjoy, are close at hand.
