"Pretty good! A smorgasbord of delights at breakfast, humongous bed to sleep in and we opted out of getting our room cleaned so we’re given 2 £7.50 drinks vouchers for the bar, what a result. Would definitely stay again if visiting York."

"Fab themed room to stay in, was an amazing experience. Took a while to work out how to have a warm shower rather than scolding but got there eventually. Could do with a small shelf in shower for the shower gel. Was left plenty of tea, coffee and hot choclate. Will come back again, even if it has to be next year.
