Very friendly and extremely helpful Staff. Very clean. Beautifully furnished. Highly Recommend

The room was newly renovated. Staff was kind, helpful and a delight. Best night sleep during our 2 week vacation. Wish we could have stayed more than 1 night. The cookies and water they gave us on the way out was icing on the cake.

Central location Lovely property. Garden was special

The whole hotel was exceedingly lovely. Its old interiors were fabulous and loved every minute of our stay. The room was big with a four-poster bed just the ticket when you're on your honeymoon. The location was approx a hundred yards from York Minster which we toured. Breakfast was good and tasty and very satisfying especially as we had a five and a half-hour drive home. The staff were very pleasant and always greeted us with a smile, which I liked, and were eager to please. The Hotel gardens were also a feast for your eyes.

Brilliant stay. Great hotel, fantastic breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful, making our trip a memorable one. York is a superb city to visit, and the location next to the Minster, and all the food and activities ideal for everyone.

Beautiful hotel with a relaxed, but special, atmosphere. Lovely gardens which we were lucky to enjoy to the full, thanks to the change in weather and summer finally starting. The breakfasts were delicious - lemon curd with yogurt is a revelation!! The tasting menu was stunning - every course, delightful to eat, beautiful to look at and very cleverly thought out.

The location, setting, facilities, food and staff were all excellent. Special mention to Zusanna who welcomed us so warmly and the wonderful Eleni who was an absolute joy to meet.

The building is awesome in itself and for its history.Location and privacy, the best.Staff so friendly, especially Susanna(young women from Poland).Had tasting menu ,probably a few too many courses, but exceptional cooking skill.Excellent Breakfast.Bar,a bit expensive but probably appropriate for this super place.

The room was impeccably decorated and achingly tasteful. The antiques in the room really added to the ambience and the views were incredible!! The Long Gallery bar was beautiful and the breakfast room charming.

Had to wait a long time for breakfast but human error and order perhaps not placed,lovely food when arrived. Location perfect.
