3-star hotels in Northallerton
A shortlist of the 3-star hotels and guest accommodation in and around Northallerton, gathered for travellers who want a practical base between the Dales and the Moors, whether for a market Saturday, a family weekend or a single night on the way north.
Staying in Northallerton
Northallerton is a county town with a broad market High Street, Bettys and mainline trains, and it works as a base rather than a destination. The market stalls run down the centre of the High Street from about 8am to 3pm, Saturday being the bigger day, and there is a decent cluster of eating around the top of the High Street and at Treadmills, the redevelopment of the old Victorian prison behind the Applegarth. Beyond that the town is quiet: Bettys shut at half five, most High Street shops by four on a Saturday, and the pubs steady rather than busy.
These hotels sit in and around that centre and out into the surrounding villages. Katch is on the High Street itself, The Village Inn on Water End, Queen Catherine Hotel on West End and Vane House Apartment on North End, all within reach of the market and the eating. Allerton Court Hotel is further out on Darlington Road. Solberge Hall, Windsor Guest House, The Wellington Heifer, 1 Belle Vue, Cornfield, Lovesome Cottage, Carvin tor, Heathcliff, The Barn and Cosy Cottage sit in the villages and farms nearby. The mix suits couples on a short break, families needing family rooms or cottages, and business travellers who want parking and a restaurant on site.

For parking on site

Our picks here: Allerton Court Hotel
Thirsk Road
The farm cluster at South Thornbrough Farm on Thirsk Road, north of town. Cornfield, The Barn and Heathcliff are the cottages here, all with kitchens, games rooms, gardens and jacuzzis. Self-catering rather than hotel service, and best if you want space and a car.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
Northallerton has mainline trains, which makes it a practical base between the Dales and the Moors and an easy run to York and Durham. In town, the broad market High Street is walkable end to end, and the eating is clustered around the top of the High Street and at Treadmills behind the Applegarth. On market days the stalls run down the centre of the High Street from about 8am to 3pm, so expect the middle of the road to be occupied. Several of the hotels here list free car parking, which suits the outlying cottages and farms on Thirsk Road and at Osmotherley, where a car is the realistic way in.
When to go
The market is the reason to time a visit: stalls run down the centre of the broad High Street from about 8am to 3pm, and Saturday is the bigger day, with the town energetic from about eight until two before it drains away. A Wednesday market is the quieter alternative. Outside market hours the town is quiet, with Bettys shut at half five and most High Street shops by four on a Saturday. Lewis & Cooper at 92 High Street closes on Sundays outside the Christmas run-up. For the moorland walk at Cod Beck Reservoir, a mile up the moor road from Osmotherley, pick a clear day.
