Yorkshire Country House obtains Top Industry Award.

Latest Offers

Congratulations to Goldsbrough Hall who have been awarded three coveted AA rosettes at the recent Restaurant Awards ceremony. Goldsbrough Hall, near Knaresbrough in Yorkshire, is just one of 15 new restaurants across the UK to have been given three rosettes. A long time favourite of Country Hotel Breaks, we are just as thrilled as they are with the news.

The arrival of new executive chef Josh Barnes last September put Goldsbrough Hall back on track – Josh has previously worked in various Michelin-starred restaurants in London, and now works closely with Goldsbrough’s head gardener to include locally sourced and home-grown produce in his culinary offerings.…
