Sandburn Hall
WHERE
York
What it’s like
A golf hotel near York with a restaurant, party rooms and free parking, useful for a family celebration built around a proper sit-down meal.
This is a hotel and golf club with party rooms attached, so it suits a celebration where the food and the setting do the work rather than a room full of games. There's an 8-bay covered driving range as part of the golf academy if anyone wants to swing a club before or after, and it's open to visitors as well as residents. Tykes Restaurant does the heavy lifting for food, with lunch and a la carte menus, afternoon tea and breakfast, so a party here can easily turn into a proper meal out rather than sandwiches on paper plates.
The site doesn't spell out exactly what's included in a party booking or what ages it's pitched at. Afternoon tea needs 24 hours' notice and breakfast for non-residents has to be pre-booked, both worth building into your planning if food is central to the day.
Parking is free and there's plenty of it, which takes one thing off the list when you're arriving with a car full of people and presents. Dogs are welcome at some tables in Tykes if you book ahead and let them know, and there are two accessible rooms with wet room bathrooms plus lift and ramp access if anyone in the party needs it. If you're making a weekend of it, family rooms sleep two adults and one or two children, and NHS or Blue Light Card holders get 15% off if you book direct.
Early check-in or a late check-out will cost you £40 each, which stings a bit if you were hoping to linger after a party. The kitchen handles multiple allergens without full separation.

Plan your visit
What's actually included in a party booking?
The site doesn't set out a fixed party package, it's more a case of booking the party rooms and building the day around Tykes Restaurant's menus. Worth ringing reception to talk through what you want.
How much does it cost?
No set price is given for party bookings, so you'd need to speak to the team directly about your numbers and what you're after.
Do we need to book a table in the restaurant?
Pre-booking is recommended at peak times like weekends and Steak Wednesdays, but it isn't essential.
Is there parking?
Yes, and it's free and on-site, with plenty of it.
Can we bring the dog?
Some tables in Tykes are dog-friendly, but you need to pre-book so the team know a dog is coming.
Is it wheelchair accessible?
There are two accessible rooms with wet room bathrooms, accessible parking and toilets, a lift to the first floor and ramp access to raised sections.
Can we stay over as well?
There are family rooms that sleep two adults and one or two children. Check-in is from 3pm and check-out is 11am, with early check-in or late check-out costing £40 extra.
What if someone has a food allergy?
Worth flagging to the team, as the kitchen prepares dishes handling multiple allergens without full separation.
