As always a fabulous Sunday lunch. The Durham Ox never fails to deliver on every level, excellent food and service. A favourite of ours for many years. Glad it has received very well deserved accolades. We always book now to avoid disappointment.

5 Star, Excellent. Heard all about the Durham Ox but never been. We have one person working for us and took him and his wife out for Sunday luncheon. Yummy, great staff, nice tables. Good service and staff were lovely. Nicely spaced tables too and definitely not rushed.

Our second visit recently and what a great find. Really comfortable rooms and superb food and friendly, prompt service with great atmosphere. The specials menu combine well with some of the classic choices on the a la carte ( appropriately beef dominated!) menu and we really enjoyed dinner on both occasions we stayed. Selection of wines were excellent with a very good house claret by the glass. 10/10.

I really have nothing to add to all the already glowing five star reviews. Ignore the lesser ones. Simply perfect in every respect with great value accommodation, (we loved the Studio suite), staff and delicious food. A secret gem of a place. We will return.

First time staying onsite at The Durham Ox, having eaten here a few times. We stayed in the Pool Cabin which was just wow!!! Insane size pool/hot tub with gorgeous views! So homely inside the cabin, very comfortable bed. Fab range of drinks and snacks available through an honesty system. Beautiful decorated and well equipped for a stress free stay! I’ll definitely be back!!!

The Rose suite felt like a gorgeous cottage with our own entrance via a terrace with outdoor seating. On entry there is a small kitchen with complimentary tea and coffee, leading to a generous living room and spacious family bathroom. The master suite has such a comfy bed where I had the best nights' sleep. Across the hallway is a twin room, so this is perfect for a family stay. We also had a dip in the Pool Cabin hot tub, with beautiful views over the North Yorkshire countryside. It was just the tonic to soothe aching muscles after the drive up. This traditional family run pub with gorgeous accommodation, outstanding food and beautiful surroundings, is a true hidden gem and well worth a visit.

We had Sunday lunch for sixty people in the Ox Barn. The food, service, room and facilities were all faultless. Several guests also stayed the night and were very happy with the accommodation. Very pleased that we chose this venue and would not hesitate to recommend. Many thanks to Adam and the team for looking after us so well.

Wow!!! Wat an amazing place to stay location is perfect, staff that go above and beyond and food not to be missed. We stayed in the pool cabin situated at the bottom of the grounds, a lovely little secluded hideaway. Complete with a heated pool and romantic wood lodge style seating area with a built in log burner for the cooler evenings. The impressively made up bed was by far one of the comfiest we've ever slept on. Keeping a building like that with it's multiple windows and doors clear of dust and debris must be a challenge but I can honestly say it was immaculate so well done to the housekeeping team. Bathrooms spacious with luxury in mind and added bits of good old Yorkshire charm. fresh clean robs and fluffy white towels too. Tea and coffee facilities way above your standard Nescafé and PG tips. This cabin had a coffee machine so from espresso to cappuccino you're covered After having one of the most relaxing and tasty meals in the bar we spent the rest of our evening relaxing in and around the pool watching the sun go down over the expansive views The staff, the room, the food, the atmosphere were all outstanding We WILL be back !!!
