Overnight Luxury Stay at Ox Pasture Hall

Ox Pasture Hall is a luxury hotel on the outskirts of Scarborough, known for its beautiful scenery, quality accommodation and fantastic food. I was incredibly flattered to be invited to review the hotel's luxury suite for the night, as well as an afternoon tea and a three course evening dinner. Today I wanted to talk about the suite and overnight stay and share a few photos of my stay:

We checked in at 2pm and were promptly shown to our room. It was simply the nicest hotel I have ever stayed in; everything had been impeccably thought through, from the huge bed to the notepad and pen by the telephone. The bathroom was modern and spotless; I loved the 'his and hers' basins, the huge walk-in power shower and of course that massive mirror. I wasn't expecting such a spacious living area, with a TV, desk, sofa and coffee tables. Although you may think that two TVs is extortionate, I thought that it was a clever idea, meaning you could watch TV on the sofa and later a film in bed. After all, a weekend away is all about relaxing! My one little niggle was that, due to the rural location, gaining any phone signal or connecting to the hotel's free WiFi was difficult. However, if I hadn't have been there to blog about my stay this wouldn't have bothered me, as it did ensure I felt that I could truly get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy my country stay.

After all, there was plenty to do beyond the internet. The grounds which house Ox Pasture Hall are beautiful; they were stunning surrounded by rolling mist during our stay and are sure to look just as good in the sunshine or snow. We enjoyed exploring the various nooks and crannies around the hotel. Another great bonus to Ox Pasture Hall is that it is pet-friendly. I wish I had been able to bring my dog with me for the stay, but I would have never have got her on a train for four hours! She would have loved walking amongst the fields and then snuggling up in front of the open fire in the lounge area. There were a few other dogs there who I couldn't resist saying hello to and they seemed to be having a lovely holiday with their owners. I am definitely persauding my parents that we need to drive up and visit again with my dog too!

I'm going to save the afternoon tea and dinner for separate posts, as they thoroughly deserve reviews all of their own. With regards to the hotel, I couldn't recommend a stay there enough and I kept commenting on how slow the weekend went. It was certainly a positive thing as after even just one night I left feeling as refreshed and relaxed as if I'd had a week away elsewhere.
