Great location & lots of character throughout the hotel

Jo, United Kingdom

From the moment we arrived and met the front desk staff, it was fabulous. All the staff couldn't have done enough for us. The room was lovely n clean with a small but ample bathroom that had all we needed for our stay, clean towels changed daily, shower gel, body lotion, hair shampoo & conditioner plus hairdryer. The bed was clean, very comfortable n cosy. In room kettle, coffee & tea with biscuits daily . The breakfast was great, changed daily with a good choice of a cooked menu to a mix of fresh fruit, juices, pastries and cereals. Lovely evening meals too. We walked the area well as you have areas with good car parking (pay machine) for your walks. The tourist info is just across the road and they gave us lots of great choices of walks.

What Travelers Love About This Location

“This beautiful hotel had the best service and good food and drink. The staff was among the best we've experienced around the world. The location is perfect right on The square and a 3 minute walk to the Herriot museum. The rooms are elegant with luxurious linens. We were upgraded to the Dick Turbin suite for our second night - just lovely! And again - the staff is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Can't wait to come back and stay for longer!”

눉The lighting in the room was dim. The lighting in the bathroom was brighter but for getting made up (female after all) There was no room to place any extra bits of anything on the glass shelf over the sink as the mirror came really low down. No shelving at either side of the sink or anywhere in the bathroom to put little bits of makeup/deodorant etc. We were in room 25,The Stables, and other residents kept mistaking our room for theirs as three or four times other people tried to open our door with their key. Creepy!
눇Room/bathroom very clean, bed comfy and lovely bedding. Had to ask for tea/coffee etc second day as room hadn’t been serviced. Breakfasts were good and plenty of choice. Evening meals were very good, hot, tasty and imaginative. All serving staff very pleasant.

눇We were in Thirsk for only one night and had chosen the Golden Fleece because of an enjoyable stay there seven or eight years ago. The refurbishment programme has been a great improvement, your hotel is warm and welcoming and ideally located. We were greeted by friendly and efficient reception staff and our luggage was taken upstairs without having to ask for this service. Our room (No1) was perfect for us, very comfortable bed with lovely bed linen, excellent shower with good quality products. Both bathroom and bedroom were immaculate. We had dinner in your restaurant on Friday evening and our meal was superb, beautifully presented and an excellent wine to accompany it. Breakfast was equally good. The staff on both occasions were absolutely wonderful, polite, considerate, helpful and just perfect. One lovely young lady at breakfast was really concerned that our toast was "toasted right", she was delightful, I'd have her on my team any day and I'm just sorry I can't recall her name (but she has been on maternity leave and has 2 children!) She was a star. We had a really lovely stay with you and our thanks to all your staff for making it so enjoyable.
