I have stayed here many times and agree with the comments made regarding the decline in the last 3 years. The staff are lovely, the rooms comfortable, but the food is not as good as it used to be. Salmon and macaroni cheese, does not work, rib eye steak so thinly cut it may as well be braising steak and... More

The driveway promises a really interesting hotel and it does have lots of character. However, the restaurant had a function on the night I stayed and I had to eat from the bar menu, which was not that exciting. The room was very large but the bed was soft and lumpy and plug sockets were largely inaccessible. It's these little... More

We stayed on two separate weekends earlier this year ,with my husband, daughter and her fiancé. The hotel and grounds oozed peace and tranquillity which was just what we needed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The double rooms were very clean and comfortable, with lovely views of the gardens and surrounding woodland walks. The bird sounds added to... More

Been here a number of times and I must say in the last 3 years its standards have fallen. Will we stay here again, unless the new owners life the standards and improve the beer quality, then the answer is NO.

A late booking unearthed an unexpected treasure when we arranged a one night stay at Monk Fryston Hall. We needed somewhere with room for five,reasonable prices and not too far from York - about 30 minutes drive.

Have travelled to this hotel several times usually for a one night stop on business. This is a country house hotel and is quaint and full of character, being so it does have it's little quicks, and long may they remain. Good sized rooms well fitted, some might say in need of a little updating but not too much please.... More

Stayed here for a few days on business. Food was very good. Grounds are amazing. Lovely building, although a little dated in places but the bar-lady (margaret i think) tells me new owners are due. so they maybe refurbing soon? Good selection of food and drink and the staff were very good. I would especially like to thank the young... More

Excellent service, very friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was delicious with a good selection on the cold buffet table. Full English was great and the kippers were lovely too. The hotel has lots of character so don't go expecting the usual chrome and glass decor.
