This really is the nicest guesthouse I have ever visited; and was so from the moment I set foot in the door. Arriving later than I had promised, a dinner party was already underway in the house. However, I wasn’t just made welcome, but was offered a glass of champagne from a bottle the owners had opened. I declined and... More

Millgate is a wonderful oasis in Richmond, North Yorkshire. Owners Tim & Austin were away while we were there, but the staff left in charge looked after us very well. Breakfast is delicious and the room we had was very comfortable. It's bathroom must be the largest guest house or hotel bathroom in Britain. The resident Whippets are a joy... More

We had a wonderful stay at Millgate House. Austin and Tim were superb hosts and made us feel at home and provided a great service. Our room was spacious, beautifully furnished, with very comfortable beds and with a lovely view of the river and hills. We had a delicious breakfast with an ample selection of fruits, juices, cornflakes and yogurts... More

The breakfasts are delicious, the rooms - treasure troves, the views delight the eye, the owners delight and if this all weren't enough, the walled garden caught between the River Swale and the eleventh century Norman castle is a jewel. Tucked away behind the imposing Georgian exterior of the house, an abundance of clematis, old roses, ferns, hosta, shrubs, and... More

Once again we chose to break our journey to Scotland by overnighting at Millgate House. Stepping into the house and being surrounded by beautiful antiques and artefacts is instantly comforting. Once settled, the ritual is to have a glass of wine whilst wondering around the magnificent garden. This time we were treated to dinner in-house and what a treat that... More

Genuine antiques (and I don't mean the delightful Tim and Austin) and original artwork... More

There are many places in the world which proclaim luxury, others that boast a good location and some try to appeal to their guests with one gimmick or another. But in all my years of travelling, both for work and on holiday, I have only experienced one place I would call paradise - and that is Millgate House. When I... More

There are only superlatives to be used to describe the surroundings and service at Millgate House. The decor is most tasteful, the views most delightful and the hosts most welcoming. Last year, we came to see the superb garden and had to return the following weekend to stay in one of the beautiful rooms. This May, we stayed in a... More

Another fantastic visit to Millgate House! We dined in style overlooking a verdant May landscape, the soft twilight falling gently over the dining room, which was, as ever, adorned with an immaculate assortment of tasteful antiques. The flavours were delicate, vibrant and the combinations of ingredients were inspired. Presentation of each course exceeded the last, and the choice of wines... More
