We liked everything and will definitely be returning.
United KingdomFantastic food in the restaurant, beautiful rooms, exceptionally friendly, helpful staff. I was a bit concerned when I was told that breakfast on the Friday did not start until 8am as I thought this was a bit late for a week day and I wanted to leave the hotel quite early. However, I spoke to a gentleman at reception to ask if there was any way I could get something to eat a little earlier and he was so helpful, saying I could come down for breakfast at 7.30 which suited me perfectly.
United KingdomExcellent meal steak was delicious Very nice breakfast Staff very friendly
United KingdomI have stayed at he Golden Fleece before it is always welcoming, the price of the room had risen considerably over the last two years but it still remains the hotel of choice.
United KingdomLocated in the centre for all amenities. Breakfast was excellent, rooms very comfortable
United KingdomThe Golden Fleece is in a prime location in Thirsk. Lots of parking at the back of the hotel. We had a courtyard room which was comfortable, clean and reasonably easy to access. We would have preferred a walk-in shower, rather than a shower in the bath, but there was a grab handle for safety. Breakfast was excellent and freshly cooked. Reception was friendly and helpful and service in the restaurant was very good. The evening menu was very good and freshly cooked.
FranceThe room was very nice and clean. Staff was super nice and helpful.
United States of AmericaThe staff were wonderful and always helpful and caring. We were only able to spend a short time in Thirsk, but would love to return to explore the area further. The Golden Fleece is steeped in history and ideally placed in the town centre, a good springboard for striking out into North Yorkshire’s beauty and historic sites.
United KingdomPerfect location with some grand front facing rooms, well worth an upgrade. The restaurant is definitely one of the best we have ever tried, credit to the chef!
United KingdomBreakfast was excellent!! I absolutely love mine, Kippers for breakfast!! My husband enjoyed his Cooked Breakfast, although he wished that he had another bacon/sausage added to his plate. Our daughter was delighted with the Continental choices.
