Top York Hotel Reviews

Burn Hall Hotel

Burn Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Very comfortable one night stay in a nice, clean hotel set in wonderful grounds. Staff were all professional and friendly. Food presentation and quality was excellent. Bar area cosy and relaxing. 3 star hotel with a 5 star service. Only negative for me is the bathroom in the larger executive room we stayed in was very tired and is in need of a revamp. Overall, the stay was very relaxing, with the hotel located in a nice country setting and staff were all welcoming."
