We felt as though we were guests at Downton Abbey! The staff were so attentive and friendly; the old manor house and its grounds are beautiful; we loved the spa; and just about everything else!

All the staff could not do enough for you. Fantastic facilities and grounds. Very professional ,old school - attention to detail.

This is a treasure of a hotel. Staff were almost unfailingly friendly and welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay relaxing and stress-free. The extensive grounds are beautiful and sitting on the terrace with a pre-dinner drink was a real treat. The lounges were also very comfortable. Breakfast was superb, with exquisite home-made croissants and very superior fruit salad, for example. The bed was very comfortable and the room was excellently appointed. We had a large window overloooking the grounds. A very restorative break.

Everything- from the greeting at the door when we arrived to checkout. The room was comfortable and spotless and with a beautiful view, the service and food where amazing. The spa and swimming pool were of the same amazing standard. We already have plans to go back.

Beautiful house and gardens with very friendly and helpful staff.

Location and staff were superb. in the country with the most beautiful gardens.

A well-organised hotel with a genuine sense of history and style. Very friendly staff who are anxious to please. Best breakfast in a long time. Excellently located for York without being in the crowded centre. Good spa. A credit to the National Trust

We booked a twin but the hotel only had a double. To be fair, they offered us a second double room at no extra price but we decided to stay in just the one double - it was only one night.

Very pleasant, cozy room in the Courtyard. Good breakfast. Beautiful gardens. Loved the pool and spa too.

A fabulous stay in a wonderful hotel. The staff took care of us from start to finish.
