Lovely Independent Hotel
We stayed only for one night, but as soon as we got to the Deanery we were made to feel welcome. Our room was gorgeous, right up in the rafters overlooking the garden. The room was plenty big enough for us and was very peaceful. The breakfast was amazing. Can’t praise the staff enough. The Deanery is beautiful and right in the centre of the city and we felt very well looked after. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely breakfast.
Impressive building and great to park outside. Staff and breakfast were exceptional. Our room was small stuffy and awful decor. Could do with some updating and mattress very thin, shower only suitable for anyone under 5ft3. Really enjoyed the breakfastt and all the staff were lovely.

Little North Yorkshire Gem
We only stayed one night and discovered the taster menu at dinner which was readily booked (luckily for us). The food was superb and the sommelier did an excellent job of matching wines. Loved the take on a taster type breakfast too! Will be revisiting at some point that's for sure!
