8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay in this grand older hotel. The staff were excellent and the room was larger than a modern hotel. However being an older hotel it is showing lots of signs of being tired. On the plus side an excellent breakfast and free hotel car parking For what we paid to stay we were very satisfied"

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our 4 night stay and would return again in the future. We liked the location just outside York and with a Park & Ride just a few minutes away. The hotel is nice and staff helpful. The room we had was larger than most and had all the usual facilities (including a fridge), the decor was a little tired and could do with freshening up, also the bathroom needed updating. Overall it was a pleasant stay and I would recommend it at the price we payed."
