“Attractive small country house hotel just outside Wetherby. Set amid 100 acres of its own grounds, privacy and serenity are guaranteed. Enjoy a relaxing day in the spa followed by an indulgent dinner in the Georgian Restaurant. The ideal country escape from it all.”

Hotel review

Built in 1750, Wood Hall was privately owned before becoming a boys prep school and now its present incarnation as a small country house hotel. It enjoys a very peaceful location, perched on a hill set amid 100 acres of grounds including glorious Italianate gardens. The forty four bedrooms are spacious and feature all comforts you would expect from a four star hotel: fluffy robes, flat screeen TVs. Book a deluxe room and you'll find authentic antique furniture, sleigh beds or four posters and free standing roll-top baths. The George Restaurant has been awarded with 2 AA Rosettes and prides itself on the use of locally sourced ingredients. Here you'll find classic British Cuisine (sometimes with a modern twist). Add to this a pampering spa with swimming pool, small gym and a plethora of treatments to choose from and you have a great spot for some chilling out.
