Very good

It is a lovely charming old building which we generally love and respect. Sadly we were there on a hot day and the room with its poor ventilation and no AC, it was like an oven. There was a gentle breeze outside and we had a lovely pleasant dinner in the garden. But sleeping in that heat was impossible despite the small table fan provided. We were exhausted the following day. I would not recommend the room in summer. Staff were lovely, food was nice. Shame we could not get the much needed good night's sleep. The lino in the bathroom did not do it's charm much good, but it was the heat that got to us.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room condition too old, even staircase, refurbishment is necessary and parking is too expensive.
Should publish parking fees on website before booking for consideration and only found out after booking made (too late/no chance to cancel booking)
Unpolite staff on check in. Having to pay £15 for parking even though we were only there 8 hours.

Disappointing
I booked a Superior King room but we were given a standard double, when we asked at reception if this was the correct room, the receptionist lied and told us the booking information stated it was a double. I could easily see my details on her screen, which clearly stated the correct Superior King room. She gave us new keys for our room which ended up being a Deluxe King, not a Superior. Not what I'd booked: basic room, bath filled right up when shower was being used, no extractor fan in the bathroom so everything was damp and soaked. Car park cost us £15.

Beautiful old traditional hotel
Only down side was the room mainly bathroom could do with a visit from a professional decorator.
Other that we loved it and will be back
This is one of the quietest hotels I have stayed at in York.The staff were excellent.The hotel was perfect for our needs and was ten minute drive to where we needed to go.They had on site private parking.The breakfast was excellent,lots of choices.
Charming hotel but showing signs of its age. Could do with refurbishment in the rooms as it’s been a while since they were last done. It’s all a bit dated inside which, for a hotel playing on its history is possibly part and parcel of it, but it doesn’t scream boutique.
But a lot of people love that kind of thing so this is their hotel.
Parking at £15 a night is, however, extortionate. I’d expect a hotel like this to give free parking to its guests. (I know street parking is free but you would expect a hotel like this to have it complementary).
Food was average. Nothing wrong with it but nothing exceptional either. I’d probably venture into York next time & partake of one of the restaurants there. Easily walkable from the hotel, it takes about 30 mins or so.
No useful power points in the room. It is 2025 not 1925. Need power and sockets within easy reach. Bedside table for recharging phone would be really useful.
Having to pay a £50 charge on arrival and then claim a refund in the morning is so bizarre. What do they expect - that I’m going to trash the room rock n roll style or steal a towel?

Liked: Staff & service
The property in itself is lovely. The interior is in need of a major refurb. Details like no usb charging points . Mattress in need of replacement carpet looking threadbare curtain rail parts falling off.. Food is good but not exceptional. Prices too high for what it is . Parking very expensive considering it's not in the city centre etc etc. Parking on the road ( The A19 ) A major trunk road is not a good option..
. In short ..So much potential in reality, staff and location apart no
Charged for parking £15! Check in slow , took a card and 1p even though we didn’t want room

Overall a good stay. Nice breakfast and bed. Room (10) was very noisy. The floors creaked and the pipework rattled. Felt sorry for whoever was below us. 🙃
It is a lovely property, the only issues were the super soft mattress and an additional $15 to park

Let down by parking charges!
I've stayed in this hotel several times before and do like the location. Close to the designer shopping outlets and the park and ride service, or pick up the P&R bus judt outsidecthe hitel, it is quite convenient.
Breakfast is cooked to order and the staff are plesant.
Its an older hotel, so there are a few creaks and groans, chipped paint etc but on the whole clean and tidy.
What does let it down is the lack of plug points at the bedside and car parking charges. Our email booking advised there were parking charges in place (it used to be free) but they were "nominal". £15 per day is expensive and added £45 onto our 3 day stay. They do say you can park on the (busy, main) road but thst might be a challenge as its a busy residential area with home owners also parking on the street. The £15 charge doesnt guarentee a space and the car park can be busy.
Its a nice hotel in a good location however the hidden car parking fees might make the difference between staying here or somewhere else.
