I spent 2 nights in this hotel with my husband and 2 children. Even though I asked for a family room with a shower we were given a 'suite' with 2 bedrooms, a toilet and separate bathroom which did not have a shower just a bath. The rooms were very small with low ceilings and one of the bedrooms did not have any window which could open for air. Our stay was ok but do not think we will be returning.

Pleasant, helpful staff. Free parking & good location for city. Cheaper & more pleasant than big chain hotels.

The location of the hotel, close enough to walk into York centre.

We were given a room in the attic, so no views of the racecourse. Very small window too high up to see out of. Eaves in the room very low so all had to stoop around in the room. Very cramped and dated.

Wow, friendly, staff, excellent location, and breakfast to die for... The only con (which might just be me), water temprature for showers was not hot... (I like to poach myself) EXCELLENT VALUE!!!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Swimming pool very enjoyable. Excellent breakfast. Ample parking.

Extremely friendly staff, food delicious, especially the breakfast. Kippers were fab. Very quiet rooms, little disturbance or noise. A good 12 to 15 minute walk into town but that was O.K. as it walked off the lovely breakfast. Swimming pool was clean and warm, with towels provided.

Would like to have had separate changing rooms in the swimming pool area. Also a little more light to walk down to the pool, rather dark with some steps to negotiate.

The location was very useful and the rooms were warm and comfortable. Would have preferred to have a room in the hotel itself rather than the annexe but was not a problem. Staff were very helpful and friendly.

The food let the hotel down to the extent that I would not reccommend it to anyone. The breakfast was passable but nothing particular to reccommend about it. we had an evening meal the 2nd night of our stay as we had been in the City all day and didn't want to go back in to town. the food was very disappointing. The onions in the tart I had were so horribly sweet it was inedible and the veg was overcooked and soggy. My friend's steak was none too good either. We felt that the food could be improved quite easily with a lot more care and attention to what was being provided. Overall the food at all the meals gave the impression of the chef being disinterested in what was being produced from the kitchen. Pity to spoil an otherwise nice place.

Location - on bus route into the city. Free parking facility. Friendly helpful staff. Indoor swimming pool which will be taken advantage of when we visit in the spring/summer. A bit too cold on our recent trip as access is via outside path. Good choice at breakfast and cooked to order. Also offer of moving room as ground floor room became vacant but we were quite happy where we were.

Only minor point - no evening bar meal service on a Sunday, but recommendation of a very good pud nearby made up for this.

The location to the town centre was good and access to the wlk around the York Racecourse.

Room and water was cold when arrived. Had to ask to put heating on/up. Surely staff should anticipate this? Swimming pool and hot tub were pretty cold too. No late bar and service a bit indifferent (not particulary well stocked).

Lovely old house in a good situation for travel into york staff very friendly and helpful

The website does not tell you the kitchen is closed on sunday and monday we had to go into york for a meal on the busiest sunday of the year and struggled to find one not full
