Reviewed May 3, 2025The host Geoff was super friendly and accommodating. Free off-street parking--although it's a tight squeeze! Two buildings down from the Herriot Museum and walking distance to several restaurants. Cozy building with character.
Cleanliness was not up to standard, which unfortunately tanks what would otherwise be a good review. Specifics: My third-floor room smelled musty and didn't look like it was vacuumed after the last guest. Areas under beds/against walls were caked in dust, and at one point a large spider scuttled out from beneath my bed. Teapot had mildew inside. Placemats at breakfast had stains.

Reviewed Apr 25, 2025The location was perfect for exploring the Yorkshire Dales. The hotel itself is old and charming and very well maintained.
Not that you can do anything about it, but the car park entrance is very narrow so my car beeped at me the whole time I was driving thru it! It's obviously the entrance to the original stable yard. But I would like to have a little maid service of just making the beds and replacing used glasses or teas.

The entrance to the car park at the back of the hotel was narrow and was part of the building, which I know can’t be changed. But to drive in, you have to position the car just right or risk damage to the car.

Reviewed Apr 12, 2025The customer service was very good. Geoff was a very nice man, very welcoming and gave us lots of advice on where to go in Thirsk. The value for money was also good as breakfast and parking was included. We did not have the cooked breakfast and the options for the 'continental' breakfast were limited but adequate. The location was very good. The hotel itself has a quirky, old timey charm that does give it character though in some areas it feels outdated. Some areas do need refurbishment including furnishings being worn to the point they no longer feel properly clean. A full refresh would help it reach its potential and we would certainly return if this happened.

Reviewed Apr 11, 2025We just loved our stay. The house is wonderful with lots of fascinating artefacts around, making it feel homely from the get go. Our room was clean and smelled so lovely. The bedding was spotless and crisp and white. The beds were extremely comfortable and the pillows were great. The breakfast was delicious and served on piping hot plates. There was ample tea or coffee and you could help yourselves to cereals and toast. Our host was very helpful and non-intrusive. We could come and go as we pleased. A classical bed and breakfast with a lovely, homely feel.

Reviewed Feb 16, 2025Jeffrey the owner was a perfect host and made you feel welcome. The rooms were very comfortable and big, little bit tied in places but still very comfortable and lovely big rooms. The heating was on to make sure that nobody got cold.
The only thing I could say was that there wasn’t a buy there and that there wasn’t a restaurant for evening meals you could have breakfast which was lovely but you couldn’t have evening meals. But in saying that it is literally a storm throw away to all the bars and all the restaurants that you need so it wasn’t a bad thing really.
