Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Breakfast was 1st Class, very well presented with a generous assortment. Service was very polite and approachable, the dining room was well set out and accessible. This property was very surpassing in my expectations Value for Money. I will certainly request a return when in the area.
Nothing comes to mind
Great value for money. Lovely friendly hosts. Great location and onsite parking. Dealt with my GF breakfast request with ease. Much appreciated. Would stay again.

Asked for an easy to access room for my mother who has limited mobility. Was given a double room right by the door with level access, grab rails in the ensuite, a walk in shower without a step, a plastic chair that could be moved into the shower so mother could shower sitting down. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast delicious.
Mostly everything was great. Only slight negative was that the single room for myself was uninspiring. But it had everything required for a comfortable night, so not that much of a negative really.
Location
Tired and disorganised
Mark is a friendly host and cooks a great hot breakfast. The guesthouse is in a great location in Thirsk. I went to see the James Herriot museum and everything was walkable. I used the community centre pool one night and it was an easy, safe walk. I took the train into York one day and it was a quick taxi ride or short walk. It's near a Tesco for snacks and lots of restaurants too. The room was very nice, clean with a nice bathroom and a window that opened. The guesthouse was quiet too.
The location was absolutely fabulous for the racecourse and the town centre. The hosts were welcoming and very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The guest house was very clean and spacious and thr breakfast was cooked to order

Great service
Brilliant stay. I was there for 7 nights, travelling from Geelongin Victoria, Australia. Mark my host was outstanding, friendly and cooks a wonderful breakfast just the way you like it. Nothing was a bother and his attention to detail was superb.
Can't think of anything l didn't like. Great location and perfect for what l was in town for.
Staff; bedroom; breakfast
Needs to be a non-slip mat in shower tray ( Currently not good for oldies)
Great location, two minutes from the Centre of town.
Clean and friendly.
Mark was extremely helpful with local information and indeed , anything you asked him
No complaints whatsoever
Lovely
Excellent value for money. Clean and everything I needed was provided for. The manager and staff were very helpful.
Comfortable beds and great breakfast.
Location was very good for us. Close to the centre and market place. Breakfast was very tasty and plenty of choice. The room was clean, only slight niggle was that for me the bed was a bit soft husband found the bed was perfect. Friendly and helpful staff.
As I have said above, bed was a bit too soft for me.
Ideal location for the races and town
Small tv in room and shower head would not stay up
Mark and his staffe were very welcoming and friendly
Lovely bed, breakfast, host and staffc
Shower weak
Very central and despite being by busy road was very quiet.
Near town centre On site parking
No complaints
Mark is the perfect host- very welcoming and helpful. The location is perfect for walking into the market square and the free parking was a bonus. The full English breakfast cooked by Mark is exceptional! All staff were very friendly and polite too.
Room a little tired and noise from the road could bother some people. A fan was provided so no need to open the large windows.
Breakfast was very good with alot of choice. Bed was comfortable and the shower was good.

Near town,clean,perfect for what I needed
Room was great, bed was the best ever, so comfortable and spacious. Mine host Mark could not do enough for us as wife blind, he made sure everything in the room was not moved. The waiting staff were do friendly and kept asking if we had enough breakfast, fantastic service. The proximity to town centre and a superstore right next door, brilliant. Off street parking. Room facilities tea's coffee biscuits refreshed each morning. There's nothing to dislike. Big thumbs up 👍.
Nothing loved it all.
Great little place, perfect location for Thirsk racing. Breakfast really good and staff excellent
Excellent location ideal for everything from visiting Thirsk and access to main roads for surrounding areas. Great breakfast cooked to order daily.
The owner met us in the car park and couldn’t have been more helpful. The room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was lovely and the location was perfect.
The tiniest criticism was the shower took an age to warm up.
The host Mark is fantastic, pleasant, knowledgeable and loves to chat.
It is a little small
Both were good
Town centre location

The room was extremely comfortable. It was clearly an accessible room, and it would certainly suit someone who uses a wheelchair. The bathroom and shower was wheelchair accessible. Full cooked breakfast available. I appreciated the decaf beverages as requested when booking.

We loved this place and the wonderful couple who own it. The room was clean and comfortable. It was a short walk to The World of James Herriot museum, the reason we came to Thirsk. The owner, Mark, went out of his way to check the train schedule and taxi service availability. The breakfast was delicious-I ate my first black pudding. To top it off, our hostess Nikki gave us a ride to the train station the next morning. A wonderful stay.
Easy check-in and everything was perfect for my stay.
GoodAll good
Schönes B&B an guter Lage. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Das Frühstück war perfekt. Ich würde jederzeit wieder hier buchen.
Fresh cooked breakfast. Comfy bed. Safe, secure bike parking.
Really great host
Great location, very comfotable place to stay and nice breakfast
The location was perfect, and the hosts couldn't have been more helpful xx

The property was really clean and the location was ideal for the race course and the town centre. Breakfast was freshly made and served hot.
The proper is really tired and old fashioned. It smelled of cooking as the kitchen was mostly open to the rest of the house. The bedding was clean but needed replacing. The pillows, mattress and duvet were lumpy and heavy. There was mismatched furniture in the bedroom and the only hanging space was two hooks on the wall behind the door. The window blinds were broken and stained.
Really good breakfast and lovely room, host let us check in early which was really useful and much appreciated
Breakfast was cooked to order, was hot and plenty. Great location, easy walk into Thirsk centre. Tesco and lild right next door but didn't hear any traffic in the rooms. Party of 5 in 3 rooms. Beds comfortable.
My sister's could of done with space to hang up clothes.
Good location & allowed us very kindly an early check in
Loved staying here at fourways guest house its right in the middle, of thirsk so within easy walking distance, beds were super comfy, and the breakfast was great. Mark and Niki can not do enough for you. 🙂
The location, the host was very friendly and the breakfast was good.
The room, room 2
Breakfast wasbeyond expectation. Host was wonderful, and spoke of interesting places to visit. Good position.
All was well.
Mark and his wife were great very welcoming and breakfast was beautiful. Location was perfect 2 minute walk in to market square.
Nothing at all
Both the location and the breakfast were excellent very close to all amenities and the racecourse.The b and b is easy to find and has private free parking
Nothing needs changing it’s a great b and b in a great location
Everything was to like.
Outstanding breakfast and kind staff. Mark is terrific-a chef and great host! Room was large and comfortable. Location off the town center in a residential neighborhood--a friendly walk. Mark went out of his way to guarantee we had a great stay in Thirsk and could enjoy the Dales. We came for the James Herriott house and experienced much more than expected. Loved Thirsk! Fine restaurants and history.
Can't think of anything. Mark made us feel at home. Very friendly, cozy stay!
De service was prima alsmede de kamer en een uitstekend ontbijt

Clean and friendly
Location good, easy walk into Thirsk. Breakfast fabulous. Best fried eggs ever. Host amazing and very helpful. Lovely staff.
I cannot answer this question as there was nothing I didn't like.
Location. Staff.
Could benefit from a refurb.
Ground floor accessible room with great shower. Terrific host helped with everything as personal problems cropped up. Huge breakfast with great choices.
The only thing was the bed size - it was a standard double not oversize as indicated in the reservation - but it didn't spoil our stay.
I was running late for the check-in as I had a delay, and the staff was incredibly helpful to accomodate me and wait for me.
The venue is perfect in my opinion for the price I paid.
Landlords are helpful and friendly beyond expectation. Super child friendly - my daughter received a giant chocolate Easter egg by Mark. Mark, as a former chef, prepared a delightful breakfast to your liking - the locally produced black pudding is a must. Nikki gave a lot of tips on where to go.
The central location (five minutes away from the town center) is also the only point on the not so positive side - the guesthouse is located next to a roundabout. If you do not care about the noise or if you have a room to the court, then it is okay.
Mark is the perfect host, amazing value for a room that has everything and breakfast. Breakfast consists of cereal, fruit juices, tea/coffee, toast and whatever cooked items from his list. Onsite parking only a few minutes walk from the market place.

Our room was an assisted room and was in need of Decorating/maintenance Rooms in adverts looked nicer and was what we expected I think this was due to contractors stayed longer and we were given this room
Great location, clean & comfortable room.
Room was small & basic but it was clean & warm. Perfect for a one night stopover.
Clean, very comfortable, luxurious shower. Owner extremely welcoming and kind.
Very welcoming staff and very helpful, room was clean and bed was comfy.
Close to centre, lovely breakfast.
Great location, lovely host, comfortable room
Breakfast was fantastic, with locally sourced produce. The manager was very friendly and welcoming and I was upgraded to a double room which is always great, especially when it's on the ground floor! The room was clean and well maintained and the guesthouse was situated right in the centre of town.
Radiator was a bit of a struggle to get on but I was warned and they did provide a back up heater which worked well. The walls were also a little thin so there was a bit of noise from fellow residents.
Excellent choice for breakfast.
Nothing
Met with Mark the owner, he suggested that I park my bike away from the parking area so it was out of sight of the road. Breakfast was cooked to order I assume from local suppliers and at a time of your choosing. The location is ideal for exploring the North Yorkshire moors

Nothing wrong with property

Lovely friendly owners, nothing was too much trouble.
Very welcoming and accomodating hosts. Super breakfast and met my needs for my short stay. Thank you for going above and beyond in assisting my requests and making me feel welcome.
All good for me. No hesitation to use the Fourways again on a return visit.
Pleasant staff warm and comfortable room and bed and breakfast very good lots of choice and good quality ingredients
