A party of 10 of us, all old boys, recreated the same birthday from 10 years ago when our 2 birthday boys were "only" 50! The food, drink and rooms were just as good again as 10 years ago and I think we will all be back before the 70th birthday party comes round!

We just love dining at The Blue Lion, the food is always delicious, the service attentive and the atmosphere relaxing. We have been eating here for over 20 years... without doubt the best place to eat in North Yorkshire.

We had a voucher for my husband's retirement(a gift from his employer) .

This is a lovely ,olde worlde, cosy hotel.

Check in, quick and simple, we were shown to our room (14) in the courtyard, which had amazing underfloor heating!!!
It was nice to be able to have a soak in the tub as we only have a shower at home.
Fab wines, beautiful food (be prepared to pick at the whole partridge with your fingers)...you get a finger bowl so it's expected of you anyway .

We ate in the bar on the 1st night and the restaurant the 2nd night, same service and menu each time.

We had a wander around a snowy Aysgarth falls , then Richmond town square, then back for more wine/beer/fab food. Our 2nd night was much busier in the bar at there had been a post shoot dinner....it only added to the lovely traditional atmosphere.

The breakfast is fabulous too..a small but perfectly formed light buffet of fruit juice, fruit, cereal, everything else is plated and cooked to order,i would recommend the full English or Haddock (these are what we had).

This is a lovely place.. And I've no doubt we'll be back.

It also snowed while we were here....it only added to the lovely look of this little village

They were amazing to fit us in even though they were fully booked, we had somewhere cancel on us. The tables were beautifully decorated and had a nice Christmas feel, this was our 1st Christmas together away from the family. The menu was great with lots of choice, the food was delicious and beautifully presented. The waiters and waitresses are on top of things and made us feel welcome. So a huge thank you. Hope you guys had a lovely Christmas yourselves.
