This was a KGB deal including dinner on first. On arrival we were warmly welcomed by Josh who was very cheerful and clearly loves working at the hotel. Without exception the staff were friendly and helpful. The public areas are very comfortable with plenty of nice sofas to relax on if so desired. The building itself has plenty of character... More

my husband and I decided -because we were in the UK for a wedding, to visit York and wanted to stay somewhere "away from the maddening crowd" and this hotel was situated in a lovely village not far from York with a pub within walking distance.

The rooms are comfortable and offer good value. Breakfast was excellent. All the staff are helpful and charming. They kept dinner open for me as they knew I would be arriving after their normal hours. Convenient for Castle Howard and York.

We turned the heating on but the heat... More
