I had the pea and mint soup to start, followed by a flavoursome vegetarian risotto. For dessert there could only be one choice for me: The 18 piece cheese board. It was just how you imagine a cheese board should be with an extensive mix of local, national and international cheeses, served at the right temperature, with the Stinking Bishop not for the faint hearted!
Over dinner, I asked Simon how he’d describe The Feversham Arms himself: “The Feversham Arms is not a country house hotel, we’re not stuffy or nostalgic, despite the fact we’ve been welcoming guests here for over a century and a half. Equally we are not a designer hotel where comfort is sacrificed for looks. It’s a comfortable, eclectic place, where the staff are naturally welcoming and ready to get to know you. They’re the kind of people you won’t mind asking for something extra.”
And you know what? I didn’t. For indeed, I awoke the next morning to find I’d left my ‘other shoes’ in my car, and as a polite staff member brought me an early morning paper and fresh orange juice to my door, he too went and retrieved my shoes without hesitation.
My stay was simply delightful, from the customer service, Verbena Spa haven, and interesting pieces of art, to the delicious food and wine, attention to detail and heated outdoor pool. No wonder this place is popular with couples and families alike. It’s no surprise that this Award wining hotel added two new awards to its trophy cabinet this year: the AA Hotel of the Year for England 2009-2010 and Alistair Sawday’s Britain’s Favourite Hotel 2009-2010.
Leaving the next day after enjoying my full Yorkshire breakfast was more difficult than I’d expected, however, the nostalgic steam train ride at Pickering was great fun and another treat not to be missed!
