Convenient hotel for a local stay. Easy to find & large car park. Check-in simple (assumed pre-checked in online). Staff welcoming & friendly. Room was relatively modern & clean and had a decent shower. The room was in the original building though & had several flights of stairs to access - not ideal if you've mobility issues; fine for us though. Breakfast offer was OK & the quality fine for the price, service/food could be quicker. Bar good with reasonable selection of drinks at standard pricing.

We (2 adults, 2 kids) stayed for one night. Pros: the Family Room was very large, more like a suite as the kids had their own small room with two beds off the main room. The ‘double’ bed was huge, and the pillows are the comfiest I’ve ever slept on - my husband said it was the best night’s sleep he’s ever had in a hotel! There’s plenty of parking available, the area feels safe and is very quiet. Only 35mins drive into York (which was the main reason for our stay), but not even half the price of more central hotels. Well worth the drive! Cons: the only things to note are that the floorboards are quite creaky, so I imagine if you’re on the ground floor you might find it noisy. And the bathroom could definitely do with a spruce up (small amount of mould in the grout, peeling paint from the bath panel etc). Overall we had a lovely stay, and will definitely be back!
