Silton Hall

We were disappointed when we arrived because the house hadn’t been heated. It was 14 degrees and we had to spend the evening in the kitchen with our coats on to keep warm. It wasn’t obvious how to change the heating so it reached 16 degrees maximum and was absolutely freezing at night. We have a 3 month old baby so I spent the night worrying he was too cold. The next day my husband did manage to fix the heating only to find out the pool wasn’t heated much to the kids disappointment. The cooking facilities were also poor for big parties with very few big pans etc. Overall I felt our short stay was tainted by these things and it wasn’t worth the money. It’s such a shame as it looked great on the listing! I was thinking about asking for a partial refund as it almost ruined my 40th and my sisters 50th celebration. For future stays I suggest the cleaners make sure the heating is on as it will be bitter in the winter for people and you will get more bad reviews

The grounds of Silton Hall are stunning. it's just a shame that the house itself doesn't match up to them. We had a number of issues during our stay - the main one being the pool hadn't been turned on, despite the fact I had been told it would be ready for our arrival. The kitchen is no where near well equipped enough to deal with large groups and none of the basics (salt & pepper/oil etc) were provided despite the fact this place is being advertised as luxury. The beds were uncomfortable and the bedding wasn't high end as in the description. it's a real shame as it could be a great place to stay but everything inside is cheap and the company obviously don't want to spend the money and so the luxury element doesn't exist and it felt like a real waste of money.

Beautiful grounds and great location for walks in the north Yorkshire moors. We really enjoyed the indoor pool especially in the unpredictable Yorkshire summer weather. It was nice that the inflatables for previous guests were left, the kids enjoyed that. Beds are comfortable. Firstly we contacted the property staff about everything below and we were gaslit and fobbed off at every turn. To the point I thought it was a bot running the account. It's not, it's just terrible staff and abismal service. The facilities are terrible for a large group. There are no facilities for cooking. There's no big pans or oven dishes. The oven works poorly and is unreliable and is overdue for maintenance. There's not enough chairs or lounge chairs to relax in the garden. There are only four working chairs on the terrace, Two were broken. There are not enough chairs to sit together to eat. We had to bring all the chairs in from other rooms and squash them around the dining table. See picture for arrangement, very squashed. They say there's a bbq in the listing but it was nowhere to be seen, texted the staff and they said there's no bbq. We found it pushed in a cupboard as it was essential to cook for all of us in a state. Cheers it up and managed. House was grubby with stains all over cushions, throws and soft furnishing. Cobwebs and dust in all corners. All kitchen equipment was grubby and needed to be washed before use. Loads of lightbulbs were burned out.

The property needs some larger saucepans and some serving dishes otherwise fabulous

A gorgeous house big enough for a large group to enjoy without feeling too crammed in, with spectacular grounds and a fabulous pool. We loved spending a long weekend swimming and lounging on the grass, and the living spaces were great for playing games in. There didn’t seem to be nearly enough by way of pots and pans to cook for a group of 12 people. Three guests, myself included, had specifically checked the listing beforehand and seen a barbecue listed under facilities, so we brought food along for one. There was no barbecue, and when a guest called up the hosts to find out why, it sounded like the customer service wasn’t great. One of the legs on a chair at the outdoor table was bent/broken and crumpled beneath a guest who grazed and bruised her leg. A couple of the loungers in the pool also seemed to be falling apart. I think the decor throughout could be more thoughtful (eg. mirrors and cheap pictures from IKEA put up wonky) and in keeping with the age and character of the property to give a more ‘wow’ experience inside as well as out.

Silton Hall itself is absolutely beautiful, a great place to get away for the weekend. The surroundings are beautiful, and the property is so large, both internally and the grounds, that, if well prepared, you really don't need to leave. We enjoyed breaking up our stay with a trip to the pub in the village which was very welcoming. The only issue we had, was that the online guide didn't work on the first day which meant we couldn't use the swimming pool, and when we asked for help there was no resolution, which meant we couldn't do what we'd planned on our first day. Luckily the online guide started working the next day, but it was somewhat frustrating. All in all, the property was exactly what we wanted and I think anyone would struggle to have a bad time, the pool issue was annoying as we couldn't get through to anyone to resolve it.

very nice interior and exterior, well maintained and clean. No washing machine facility

I regret to say that our stay at this property was quite disappointing. Communication with the host was poor, with responses often being very slow or ignoring previous comments altogether. At one point, someone answered the phone saying, “Who tf is calling at this time,” which was extremely unprofessional and unacceptable. The pool was left dirty for the first two days of our stay, rendering it unusable until a housekeeper could be arranged. Additionally, many areas of the house were dusty with cobwebs, indicating a lack of proper cleaning prior to our arrival. The kitchen was poorly stocked, missing most basic necessities like bin bags and kitchen roll, which made it inconvenient for our group. Furthermore, the bathrooms were inadequate for the number of guests, with only one toilet each for 15 people. The one thing that was above expectations, were the grounds. The garden had plenty of space for our group and was relatively well maintained.

We had the most amazing stay at Silton Hall with extended family. The grounds are beautiful and felt like a real surprise when we arrived - it’s hard to capture the stunning views in just a couple of photographs. The pool was immaculate and had lots of inflatables ready for the children to use which we didn’t expect! Northallerton is such a bustling little town and not far at all, we visited twice during our stay and also got the train to York from there. A brilliant location. Although the kitchen had plenty of plates and glasses, other utensils needed for a big group cooking together were limited or didn’t work very well. We wanted to eat in a couple of nights and struggled to do this without buying some extra dishes to cook food in. Upstairs is very warm - a few radiators won’t turn off and the bedroom windows wouldn’t open.

We had a lovely few days at Silton Hall with all our family. It is in a great location (plenty of great places to visit) and has wonderful views. The house is spacious and the gardens are beautiful - extensive and well kept. The pool is fantastic - even larger than expected and a great asset especially if the weather isn’t good! We would thoroughly recommend the property.

I absolutely loved staying here, the only issue was the heating was on and it was 22 degrees and sunny so upstairs was extremely hot. My friend burnt her leg in the middle of the night on the radiator as it was next to the bed. When asked where the thermostat was, we received an automatic response which wasn’t helpful. I would take bits like extra dishwasher tablets/bin bags/tin foil/toilet as there wasn’t many provided

Myself and my friends had a fantastic time staying at Silton hall, the grounds are beautiful, it was so peaceful! The house was equipped with everything we needed and the house itself was gorgeous, we all felt like we were in saltburn! Any queries we had were answered promptly too. Will definitely be back with a group for sure.

We have just returned from a fabulous stay at Silton Hall. The house was amazing and in a stunning location. Having the private pool made the holiday extra special for the kids. The house was much bigger than it looks in the photos and the hosts were fab. We had a slight issue with a blocked drain on day 4 of our stay and I contacted the hosts within and hour they were out and had it fixed. Would highly recommend this property

Beautiful location, impressive building and vast grounds. 14 of us plus a dog had a long weekend here and it couldn't of been more perfect. More than enough space so that we could all hang out as a group but also enjoy our own space at times. The pool was perfectly warm enough and amenities where spot on. Would happily stay again!

The location is fantastic, the size of the house is amazing and was great for the size of our group. There was enough space and bathrooms for 14 people without making it uncomfortable. The house was very cold, i appreciate it is a large house but a better heating system could be used. There was mould in some of the older bathrooms with poor showers (particularly in one bathroom. There also appeared to be an infestation of lady birds in the top bedroom

Lovely family break at Silton Hall. The house was nice and clean with plenty or space for a large group. The pool area is great for kids, although it does not retain the heat very well.

We booked this air b&b to have a cute girly pamper night for my friends 21st birthday. At 9pm, the evening before, they cancelled our reservation!!!They suggested that we should have not been able to book for one night after we paid in full! They didn’t even answer the phone to my friend who was very stressed at the time, unbelievable. We are now left with no where to stay this evening and a very upset birthday girl. I do not reccomend.

We booked and paid in full for this property for friends 21st. However the NIGHT BEFORE they cancelled the booking (after accepting us and letting us pay for it) saying it was actually only available for max 3 night stay. Awful service do not recommend. Our friend now has nothing for her 21st birthday and is devastated. They did not even call to discuss with her, just issued a refund. Disgusting

This is a wonderful opulent property with ample space for large occasions. The swimming pool is a tremendous asset but is a tad cold for young children in the winter. I imagine it is fantastic in the warmer months.Similar to other reviews we found insufficient large pots for cooking and the Aga, although warm was well below a temperature where cooking on it was possible(think it might need a service). The heating was good and easily regulated to suit. The Gold Cup pub is permanently closed so if the proximity of the pub is one of the reason for booking you’ll be disappointed. The beds are comfortable and all the bedrooms are well proportioned most with appealing views. Bathrooms are pleasant functional .The house, grounds and views are breath taking even in the winter, but in warmer months I suspect your stay would be elevated to a different level entirely.

This is an amazing property set on beautiful grounds we travelled as a large family and there was plenty of space for everyone to relax in the stunning house. Unfortunately when we arrived one of the bedrooms had several ladybird nests in it meaning the couple that had chosen that room slept on the sofa in the living room for the entire stay due to poor communication and a slow response from Host and Stay. We left with this matter still in dispute and after 10 long weeks of several emails and telephone calls we eventually received a small refund. Although for the most part we had a lovely stay the customer service after leaving was horrendous and would put me off booking any properties managed by Host and Stay in the future.

Fantastic property, amazing pool, bedrooms very spacious and lovely living area. The kitchen is really well laid out with plenty of fridge/freezer space however it lacks cooking pots, sharp knives, serving dishes etc. the grounds are really well kept and location is great for walks etc.

We had a great time at Silton Hall, based on a lovely location, the use of the pool and spending time with our family. We found the rooms spacious and well laid out and the boiler room, which acted as a drying room, was a welcome addition after being outside in December and drying walking shoes and swimming costumes. The grounds are excellent and enjoyed by everyone, especially the dogs. We were a party of 12 and if we hadn’t taken some additional cooking items, we would have found it more difficult to cater for a large group.

A lovely spacious property. We went with 8 adults, four young children and a labrador dog, there was plenty of room and choice of nice spaces to help our long weekend work well. A few details made for a 4 rather than 5 star response - a light circuit not working in the dining room, a large en suite bathroom with no surfaces on which to put anything and a few other small niggles which we fed back. Overall however a great place to stay for a larger group.

silton hall is a beautiful country house with everything you need for a large family gathering... we felt so at home and had a fabulous time celebrating a 30th birthday party with our closest family, friends, children and doggos.. we want to return in the summer and make use of the amazing outside spaces and the fantastic pool house!! thank you to host and stay and the owners for having us as guests

Silton Hall is a fantastic place to stay, a beautiful house with ample space, beautiful gardens and surroundings. The instructions from host & stay were perfect and they were easy to contact. The only problem was that the pool wasn’t warm enough, especially as we had young children in our group.

Wonderful stay, had everything we needed, beautiful property!

A beautiful building in fabulous surroundings for a peaceful weekend away. It was a shame the village pub was closed but we had a great Sunday lunch at the dog and gun in Knayton which was only 10 mins away. The pool is a great facility and the hosts were very responsive in any contact. Will certainly visit again.

13 ladies all had a fabulous time from start to finish. Fantastic place to unwind and forget about home life for a few days. The beds were so comfortable. House was amazing!! Loved every minute of our stay would highly recommend to family and group bookings!!

Pros: very clean, looks as pictured, beautiful gardens and scenery, lovely pool and good temp for adults/ older children, tvs and WiFi worked easily, decent toys for children to play, board games for aduts with, nice local walks Cons: lukewarm water in the bathrooms (apart from the electric shower) pool too cold for our 15-month-old, not much to do locally other than walking, no handsoap in the toilets Overall, we were happy and enjoyed our stay. Great if you want to spend time as a family away from it all

amazing house with loads of space and incredible pool. gorgeous grounds and surrounding countryside to explore

Great facilities, loads of room along with idyllic grounds with fantastic views. Spotless throughout with fantastic attention to detail from the cleaners

The property itself was fine, except the listing did not list some very important things number one none of the windows could open they seem to be sealed shut with paint or someone nailed or screwed shut so we were not able to open any windows. This is a major problem because it was too hot, especially in the bedrooms upstairs and secondly we need fresh air and the house smells of paint. We would not have picked this property if We knew the windows would not open. Number two we picked this because in the listing it said you could walk to the pub just a few minutes away. However, that pub has been closed completely for well over a year so this was very very misleading would not have gone there, I don’ Communication between the Hostandstay and S was very slow and I’m not always helpful We were also told when asked that some of the food delivery apps such as Deliveroo did deliver to this property, well, they did not The Sun lounges in the pool quite a few of them had staple sticking directly up with a sharp point upwards which is dangerous The main bedroom ceiling started leaking on us when we were asleep in the middle of the week there It seems to be that this problem has been there for awhile because of the marks on the ceiling which were there since we arrived. We had to sleep in the bedroom directly above the aga so it was very hot and Ellis, see above regarding Windows not openable. We were not offered anything for the inconvenience or hassle

We had a wonderful family weekend staying at Silton Hall. The kids had an amazing time, especially playing in the good sized warm swimming pool.

Fantastic location, perfect place for a family holiday with two well behaved dogs that could roam free in the garden

Absolutely incredible. Wil be booking again for next group activity.

Excellent house. Lots of room for 3 families. Loved the pool!

stayed at silton hall for a family gathering everyone enjoyed their stay great house with a beautifully landscaped garden I would highly recommend this property

Unbelievable holiday in a stunning home with beautiful views!

Had a lovely stay with my large family. The pool house was a fabulous added extra. The house and grounds were beautiful.

Silton Hall is beautiful, the house has been renovated to a high standard and beds are really comfortable. The gardens are fantastic, the kids loved playing out there without supervision. The pool was brilliant, great size, lovely and clean and had everything you needed in the pool room (towels, sun loungers and some inflatables). There was a couple of things we missed whilst we were there, a few big pots so we could cook for everyone. There are only a few small pans. And we wished we'd brought a speaker as there wasn't anything like that. The local pub (The Gold Cup) wasn't open the day we tried to go but it looked like it should have been from the website, not sure why. It has beautiful countryside all around the hall and has a nice walk nearby that takes about an hour so great for the kids.

Beautiful property, it felt grand and homely at the same time. Perfect place for a family celebration. The pool makes it all the more enjoyable as the children loved being able to swim everyday.

Had a really fantastic stay at Silton Hall! Hosts were super responsive and helpful dealing with all my requests. Would recommend for a short stay weekend away, will be back!

Fantastic place. Me and 5 friends went there to record some music for 5 days and it was bliss.
