Old Vicarage  

Absolute relaxation in gorgeous "home" Owner and her staff could not do enough for us. Breakfast was well cooked and presented. Dinner at local hotel was more than adequate. Will be contacting Christene direct to compliment her.

only the rain!!

Very warm welcome and attentive service.

Verry nice country village, so near to the M62 but do not notice it. Very handy for Pontefract, also visited country estate of Castle Howard. Very friendly staff, we had a room overlooking the lawn which is very pleasent.

Village is limited for evening meals.

Nothing was too much trouble for Christine. She is a delightful lady. The Old Vicarage is and its gardens are charming. We stayed here for our grandson's christening - both sets of grandparents plus our son, daughter-in-law and the baby. It felt like being guests in the beautiful home of a friend rather than in a b &b.

Very friendly staff who treated my wife and I as valued customers.

A small hotel just off the main roads, but within 10 mins to major motorways. It met all my expectations and a very pleasant change to the main hotel chains. Pub close buy with satisfactory food, 5-10 mins drive and you have some great gastro-pubs.

One of the nicest, in every way; that I've stayed in. It's now top of my list for somewhere to stay when I'm in the area.

Having to leave!

Nice hotel, with lovely staff. With a brilliantly quirky bathroom.

Very comfortable, excellent breakfast. We were made to feel very welcome by the lovely lady who runs the hotel. We would recommend this hotel and would definitely use it again.

The owner Christine is absolutely incredible. She truly cares about each and every guest. My mother was ill and Christine checked on her while I was gone and had food taken up to her. The rooms are delightful and immaculate with every convenience you could require. The town adorable with a pub right around the corner for a great meal.

This was a charming old vicarage nicely decorated. The rooms were cosy but charming and comfortable. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. I will recommend the stay.

The area outside of the village is very industrial, but this was well shielded by the building. But the location is good because it is central to the area with good access to many cities and attractions.

We found the place very comfortable and welcoming ,Christine was the perfect host, nothing was to much trouble for her and the staff. The room was excellent over looking the large gardens providing a perfect relaxing stay, and just a short journey to the town of Selby and City of York.I look forward to returning.

On arrival, the welcome I recieved from the landlady, Christine, was very warm and friendly. The room was beautiful and very clean. Breakfast was delicious. The meal at the pub around the corner was very good, and a very good price. I would happily stay there again.

I would recomend this beautiful old vicarage to anyone wanting a peaceful relaxing break the service Christene offers is second to none the quiet charm of the interior is as eye pleasing as the exterior the gardens are immaculate nothing was too much trouble for this wonderful lady and her team areal home from home we found the old vicarage and its ownner gave us a true yorkshire welcome and we cannot wait to stay there again it really made our holiday definately 5star treatment

the whole place was peaceful and very relaxing. ideal for getting to York and other locations, not have to put up with the rat race of city traffic. will go there again when going to north Yorkshire. Really enjoyed our stay there.

the pillows were too flat. thats all.

Steeped in history with Elizabeth being a loverly carring ad friendly host.

people were nice

B/fast was very poor.....

Very friendly Good food Convenient location The Old Vicarage is in Kellington not Knottingley.

It was very homely. I booked a room at the last minute due to a change of plans. Fed up of impersonal international hotels, I looked for somewhere cosy and with character but also with mod cons, such as free wifi - this place hit the spot! Very comfortable and in a quiet area, the Old Vicarage is a lovely place to stay if you simply want a home away from home, even just for one night. The 'hostess' is also very charming and provided a very friendly breakfast service. I hope to return there one day.

You need to remember that it literally is an old vicarage, so expect old fashioned furniture, decor and squeaky floorboards, with each room being unique in such matters. For me, that's character, but I mention it as some people may prefer the solid uniformity and blandness of hotel chains. Location may also concern some with regards to dining-out in the evenings - there's only one place within walking distance and, unless you truly only want a pint, it's to be avoided! There are good places just a short drive away, with details as to all such places provided in the rooms.

quiet and peaceful location

We were made very welcome by Christine and all the staff. We chose a superior room (5) and were not disappointed it was large airy and comfortable with a double aspect. Whilst it was not in the immediate vicinity a short drive to the park and ride made accessing York easy therefore avoiding the traffic and the inevitable high parking charges. Would not hesitate to book in their again.

Clean and very friendly helpful owner/staff

Not much

Very friendly and helpful

room a little small

We arrived weary after a long days business to a very warm welcome. The house is spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Like many others we chose to eat at the local pub (far too much food) so enjoyed the five minute walk home. Though our room was on the roadside we had a very quiet night and rose to a hearty breakfast. I'd recomend anyone to stay in The Vicarage.

I have read the comments about the cooling towers and on approach thought we would be near them but actually they are a distance away.

Very nice atmosphere, nice garden, excellent breakfast
