    Breakfast wasn’t great, lukewarm and not a great choice. Bedroom was a bit tired, decor was worn and we had cobwebs in the corner of the room.

    Staff were fantastic, evening meal was good - special mention from my wife for the belly pork!! And the bed was amazingly comfortable.

    The decor was a little tired, the wooden furniture was very worn and the shower didn't work, no hot water, yet the water to the taps was steaming hot. The place just needs some basic TLC.

    Perfectly located, 3 miles out of York. Just down the road from the main park and ride which we used. Really easy and good value to get into the town centre with no hassle. The room we had was huge, well laid out with a very large TV. The superking bed was very comfortable. We didn't have an evening meal, ate in town, but the breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. Staff were very good, efficient and polite.

    There was some stains on the bathroom floor I asked to clean up when out, but stains were still there. There was also some damp stains down the wall whic was a bit concerning, but it didn’t affect our stay. Food and staff were very good and polite and welcoming.

    Food, friendly bar staff, large room .

    More organisation, more bar staff.

    Four of us checked in which wasn't too well organised.It took some time sorting out.Prior to our arrival I had requested a lift accessible room and 3 pillows each on our bed.I received an email stating my request would be honoured in time for our arrival to the hotel,however,none of these things were carried out. THANK YOU USH! I think you need to assess your reply to my request.We were shown to our rooms in the old part of the hotel,upstairs with no lift access,not good for both me and my brother in law who have breathing issues,we were given another room on the ground floor.Their room was ok,ours had a broken toilet seat. So,back down to reception it was,my husband and I were allocated another room on the first floor which was accessed by a lift,it was the last but one room which was the furthest room away from the lift!A little tip to those with mobility issues..request a lift accessible room…whether you would get one though is another thing! We were given a voucher for a free drink in the bar, it was a nice gesture from Aman the duty manager but we were very limited as to what we could have. My husband ordered a becks blue which wasn’t one of the drinks on the list! We asked about a table for our evening meal only to be told we couldn’t book a table in the restaurant until after 8pm as there was a large party of 27 already booked in,but meals were also served in the bar area.We all ordered our meals at the same time.Two meals came out together followed by the other two which came out 45 minutes later,so not the meal we had planned on eating “together!”On check out when we asked for our bills,we noticed that a service charge had been added to our bill,isn’t a service charge supposed to be given for good service?Breakfast on our first morning was perfect in every way, however on the second and final morning everything was wrong.No plates,empty yogurt bowl,very low amounts of hot food,no baked goods,no bread,no butter!

    The room was acceptable and clean but rather tired. It was clearly past the date for a full refresh. The breakfast was good but the staff were clearly struggling with the numbers and it took a while for things to appear.

    Accommodation was a bit cold despite heating on. The shower was hard to turn on and off, which caused a minor flood to bathroom. The room was tired looking and dated. Hotel could definitely do with modernisation of rooms.

    Amazing staff. Quiet accommodation. Clean. Lovely breakfast with hot n cold buffet. Park n Ride to town was 5 minutes away and cheap for the day. All tourist attractions are central in one place.

    We had a cold shower on the Saturday. This was apparently due to the fact the hotel had 80 guests all using the water at the same time. It is on the ‘maintenance list’, but to be honest I doubt much can be done about it if the current system is incapable of supplying hot water now. That would entail a massive project and cost to get additional water heaters installed. Maybe they should invest in solar panels to help heat the water. The manager on reception was very attentive to this issue which is refreshing. The only other issue we had was the volume on the tv. We decided to watch a pre recorded film which are always low in sound. The tv didn’t go up beyond 30 (maximum was 100), so we couldn’t hear the film very well. It when the adverts came on, we were turning the volume down as it was then too loud.

    Breakfast options were plentiful. They will even make you porridge if you ask. It was nice to be treated like a paying guest by the staff. Even the youngsters had their wits about them and were very pleasant and accommodating. The room was a nice size and the bed was very comfortable.

    I booked knowing that we both need a lift if our room was on the upper floors. Unfortunately our room was on the 4th floor with no lift. 2 lovely male staff helped us with our cases but we still needed to walk up and down all the stairs with our bags and backpacks. Did not make the climb pleasant at all for our knees.

    The location, how beautiful it is
