We were all travelling around UK and this stop was to see a bit of Yorkshire. This hotel is near York and not far from a Park and Ride which was very useful to get into York itself (York is a wonderful city to visit). We also visited Pickering and Whitby as well as the North York Moors. So the location of this hotel was very good for all those visits. We were made very welcome by the staff and enjoyed their breakfasts each morning we were there. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 28 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cosy Lovely and cosy.

Good clean accommodation. Very quiet during night and good freshly cooked breakfast in morning. Pub grub good as well. ##### ewen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### Jim, Australia 30 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### It's not a Wind Mill Great place and not too far from York city. Staff we're accomodating. A nice selection of food if you choose to dine in. Rooms were clean and bed was comfy. ##### Jim Stayed 1 night in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cristina 15 Jul 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great owner and service Check-in was very low profile - just collect your key (and check-out) in the restaurant. Food was some of the best we ate in a 14-day UK trip and all the staff were very friendly. Beds and room temperature were comfortable and huge handicap-room shower offered excellent accessibility for our elderly relative (no high-step-up into a narrow shower stall). Location is easily accessible yet quiet with lovely views of private garden/grassy area with tables. ##### Cristina Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Eamonn, London 3 Jul 2017 #### Quaint little pub comfortable rooms at the rear Quite small pub, restaurant and a few rooms at the rear. Staff were very accommodating, rooms were small, but functional. Good breakfast! ##### Eamonn Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ### 8/10 Good #### James 27 Jun 2017 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very pleasant stay Whatever was lacking in the condition was offset by the food and the staff. Although located on the highway, the rooms were in the back and there was very little noise. Our room had a view of the garden which was very nice. ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### chris 12 Jun 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Hotel price for motel quality ? Room was ok with good shower, but I did not think it was worth £110 a night. Bed was a bit lumpy and carpet was a little grubby. B'fast was fine but again, carpet in b'fast room was a bit smelly. Considering the location outside York, I felt this was a bit expensive for what was on offer ##### chris Stayed 1 night in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roy, Wolverhampton 19 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay just outside the City. Excellent home cooked food, but a limited menu. No snacks or salads on offer. Clean room and welcoming staff made for a pleasant stay. Great English breakfast, very tasty!!! Sundy gets busy as the sunday roast was amazing. ##### Roy ### 8/10 Good #### christine, london 17 Apr 2017 #### room is too small room too small/ food is good except the steak are too well done ##### christine ### 10/10 Excellent #### phil, Derby 5 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Although the hotel is 4.5 miles outside York centre, there is a bus stop close by, and a park & ride 2 miles outside city centre. Would stay here again, food excellent, staff and rooms very nice. ##### phil ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 20 Mar 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great find, will hopefully stay again sometime.

Rooms were of a reasonable size but clean and reasonably comfortable. There were some things that needed closer attention to detail to make it "perfect" . Shower room needs some work as has mold in corners, shower leaked and got floor wet Pub food was good and plentiful and reasonably priced ##### David ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crown Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Crown-Hotel.h7994084.Hotel-Information) > > [Kings Head Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Kings-Head-Hotel.h1383603.Hotel-Information) > > [The Durham Ox](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Durham-Ox.h2275866.Hotel-Information) > > [Hollicarrs - Honeycomb Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hollicarrs-Honeycomb-Lodge.h45364920.Hotel-Information) > > [Brickfields Farm](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Brickfields-Farm.h6120838.Hotel-Information) > > [University of York, James College - Campus Accommodation](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-University-Of-York.h30551433.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lime Tree Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Lime-Tree-Inn.h57571579.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel Easingwold](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-George-At-Easingwold.h4001926.Hotel-Information) > > [Lastingham Grange](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Lastingham-Grange.h2798553.Hotel-Information) > > [Plum and Partridge Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Plum-And-Partridge-Inn.h19143770.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandburn Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Sandburn-Hall-Hotel.h67360173.Hotel-Information) > > [The Fairfax Arms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Fairfax-Arms.h14699353.Hotel-Information) > > [The Feathers Hotel, Helmsley, North Yorkshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Feathers-Hotel.h14889397.Hotel-Information) > > [Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Feversham-Arms-Hotel-Verbena-Spa.h8107242.Hotel-Information) > > [Orchard Lodge, Exclusive Log Cabin, York riverside village 2m P+R, 4m city walls](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Orchard-Lodge.h22195615.Hotel-Information) > > [Aldwark Manor Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Aldwark-Manor-Estate.h796069.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Oak Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Royal-Oak-Inn.h6942092.Hotel-Information) > > [The Black Swan - The Inn Collection Group](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Black-Swan-At-Helmsley.h22461.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown Inn, Roecliffe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Crown-Inn.h31935976.Hotel-Information) > > [The Bay Horse Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Bay-Horse-Inn.h17334089.Hotel-Information) > > [YHA Helmsley - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-YHA-Helmsley-Hostel.h12880411.Hotel-Information) > > [The Parsonage Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Parsonage-Hotel-Spa.h554901.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure York Fairfield Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Mercure-York-Fairfield-Manor-Hotel.h17905.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sidings](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Sidings.h18157901.Hotel-Information) > > [Newburgh House Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Newburgh-House-Bed-Breakfast.h4329341.Hotel-Information) > > [The Forresters Arms Kilburn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Forresters-Arms-Kilburn.h4190797.Hotel-Information) > > [Yorkway Motel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Yorkway-Motel.h23470003.Hotel-Information) > > [Ye Olde Red Lion](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Ye-Olde-Red-Lion.h9242958.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown - Hutton le Hole](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Crown.h39483554.Hotel-Information)
