8.6/10

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The rooms were quaint, large, and very comfortable, offering a spacious well-equipped bathroom, a small sitting room with a second TV, and a dressing room with bathrobes. They were very clean and luxurious, although they might need some TLC updating sometime soon. The service was top-notch, making us feel incredibly relaxed and even sharing some good stories. The location was perfect, leading onto a small terrace overlooking the garden and within walking distance of all the city center attractions. The dining experience was delightful with varied and plentiful options. The facilities were outstanding with a well-maintained pool and large sitting/eating area to enjoy.

8.8/10

I had a wonderful garden view from my room, with a seated patio area to enjoy it fully. The rooms are very nicely decorated and furnished, boasting a beautiful garden full of character. The only downside was the slightly higher cost compared to other hotels, but that's understandable since the hotel can't control the weather.

Rooms

My room had a balcony that led onto the garden, and even though it was a hot day, the fan provided made it comfortable. Absolutely no complaints!

Service

The service here was incredible. They even offered to take my keys and find a badly parked car, going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The attention to detail was excellent.

Location

8.0

The hotel is well-placed for a nice walk into York's attractions, and it's pretty quiet. It's about a 20-25-minute walk from the center, which is convenient. The room had a view of a work yard of broken chairs and marks on the carpet, which wasn't the best, but the overall location compensates for it.

Dining

9.0

The dining experience was second to none. The 5-star exquisite spa and the awesome swimming pool were a big hit, especially with my daughter. It's handily placed for a nice walk into York center or an easy stroll to York racecourse.

The facilities offered here are top-notch. From the spa to the swimming pool, everything was well-maintained and enjoyable.

My stay at the hotel was quite comfortable and enjoyable. The room, although a bit tired, was spacious and had complimentary beverages. The location, while convenient, was a bit noisy due to its proximity to the bar and restaurant. The service, especially from Stuart and Karen, was exceptional, making me feel welcomed and cared for.
