Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Service could be more consistent — The 'Price and service' category scores 6 out of 10, so some guests may find the service or value less impressive than other aspects.
  • Rooms get a modest score — Rooms and cleanliness score 7 out of 10 – not poor, but not flawless. A few guests mention the room being 'adequate' rather than outstanding.
  • Dining has limitations — The on-site restaurant and bar score 7, and guests often mention the next-door carvery rather than the hotel's own dining.

“The location is excellent, just minutes from the retail park and about 5 minutes' drive from the centre of York. The staff were absolutely wonderful and provided brilliant service.”

“This hotel was perfect for exploring York. The room was neat and had everything I needed, including a pull-out bed and a nice view. I enjoyed my one-night stay and would gladly return.”

8.4Verified guest

“Great location surrounded by countryside, and we were lucky with the weather during our 2-day stay. We had a picnic on the grass outside – lovely. It's convenient for the city, with a taxi costing just under £10 in the evening. The hotel was simple but comfortable, the shower was fantastic, the staff were helpful, and the buffet breakfast was very nice. I'd definitely stay here again.”
