From first sight of this very pretty hotel with its beautiful hanging baskets and very attractive outside terrace to the very warm welcome and check in I knew we’d made a good choice. Such a peaceful location, very nicely appointed bedrooms, great menu choice in the evening and at breakfast - all was very very good. Of course a hotel cannot be successful simply by nature of its nicely appointed public areas - it needs great staff - and everyone we met during our two night stay was without exception a credit to the business. We hope to return soon.

Absolutely excellent
Second time we've stayed and can't wait to go back. The food here is delicious. I cannot recommend it enough. We stayed in the superior suite again and it was delightful. Such a comfy bed to.sleep onand just a lovely stay in general. Staff were excellent and extremely friendly. Location is lovely and very quiet, but worth the journey. You need to stay here and eat here

Stopped for an overnight whilst visiting Castle Howard and York. Would stay again but not in the room we had (#12) as the access isn’t the best - I’m 6’ 3” and the entrance door is only about 5’ 2”. In fairness there’s no way of making it taller without extensive rework of the roof and there isn’t a headroom concern once inside the room that was lovely. The food, both in the evening and at breakfast, was excellent. Very nice complimentary chocolates in the room too.

It’s nice
Very friendly staff, and set in a beautiful location. Perhaps we had high expectations, but for the price we were a little disappointed. Room 11 (a suite with a whirlpool bath) wasn’t immaculate, and it came with a few niggles. It was difficult to lock the door and there was no Sky TV as advertised - although there was no Sky remote, perhaps that was the reason. We had to ask for ironing facilities (and the plug to the iron was literally falling apart). And the shower didn’t work. To be fair, we didn’t mention the shower until we checked out the following morning due to timings. It felt like the pump had failed - I’m sure they could have fixed it had we noticed before we started getting ready to go out for the evening. It was our choice not to report it when we were getting ready because, well, we were getting ready :-) Breakfast was OK, but again not quite what we had hoped for. The saving grace, as others have mentioned, is that the bed was very comfortable and that the staff are lovely.
