to get started.

The staff were very helpful and friendly and the service was very prompt. We were originally allocated a room in the annexe. This was clean and comfortable but very small - there was nowhere to put our suitcase and the bathroom was tiny. We asked if there was availability in the main hotel and the reception staff were happy to check. They had nothing for the first night but found a room in the main hotel for the next two nights. This room was slightly larger with a much larger, more luxurious bathroom. The decor was more up to date and more in line with what we thought we had booked so we were very happy. The hotel has been updated and the decor is very attractive. We dined in the hotel on one night and the meal was very good. We would certainly return.

Excellent location in the middle of Thirsk, good wifi and car parking, breakfast was good, staff were helpful, good size modern style bathroom.

George, United Kingdom

We were very pleased that the hotel had a downstairs room for my parents who have mobility problems. The car park was very convenient to the Mews Rooms so this helped in many ways. The rooms were very clean and tidy and had good tea making facilities. So glad that Neil sorted out the Sky TV for us as we were having trouble with setting it up!! All the staff were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The food was good - though the veg was a bit 'al dente' for my parents liking! The breakfast food was lovely, with a very varied selection of hot and cold foods. We enjoyed the visits to the shops and cafes in the town - different to the usual ones in the bigger cities. We also liked the Thirsk museum and the Herriot Museum - both had excellent, well informed volunteers. Our visit to the Kilburn "Mouse Man" was also a treat. Thank you for all your help in making our stay a relaxing one.

The staff were very friendly, the hotel was of excellent quality and I didn't have a bad meal at all during my stay. I have to give a special say about their house blend coffee. It is absolutely the best!!

Sandra, United Kingdom

This place was fully refurbished and was done to a very high degree. The place is very tastefully redecorated with a great combination of colours. King size bed great and huge ensuite. Staff very friendly and accomodating. Kudos to the management.

The Dick Turpin Suite was amazing. Very luxurious. Wish we were staying longer.

Joanne, United Kingdom

Room was very pleasant with good amenities. Lovely welcome at reception.

Carol, United Kingdom

The bed was very comfy and large. The bathroom was beautiful, but very small. The room was beautifully decorated and furnished. My only gripe is that it was a little bit warm for me, and even though we opened the window, we couldn't get much air through on account of the good quality curtains!

Michael, United Kingdom

Friendly and helpful staff. Great food and rooms. Value for money

Iain, United Kingdom

Situated between the Yorkshire Moors and Yorkshire Dales National Parks, this hotel is listed as one of England's oldest coaching inns and overlooks the cobbled market place in Thirsk.

The Golden Fleece is a comfortable hotel with individually designed en suite rooms equipped with amenities to make you feel at home. Food is home-cooked using local produce, and the service is relaxed and friendly.

The hotel is well-located for exploring the North Yorkshire countryside by foot or by car. The area is home to Aysgarth Falls, Sutton Bank and the World of James Herriot, and you can visit the beautiful Fountains Abbey or Castle Howard.

Thirsk Train Station is located just 1.3 miles from the property and offers regular services to London and the North East.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

Okay

눉We were given accommodation in what was called the "Mew"s, which were I assume, were converted outbuildings in the rear car park of the Hotel. A small bedroom and a very space restricted en-suite facility, not fit for purpose. The Hotel itself appeared to be well appointed, however the "Mews" facility left a lot to be desired. As a consequence, I would not use the Hotel again.
