The guy that works as the security during late serving is very friendly and attentive, during normal hours the bar and restaurant are manned by happy and welcoming staff.

I booked our accommodation online. Its location (ten minutes walk from the train station) is perfect, right on the Crescent Terrace on the West Cliff. Our room was the Classic Bay, spacious, light and comfortable with a great view of the North Sea. The owners, the Gallaghers, were gracious hosts, friendly and very accommodating of our requests and our needs (we left very early on our last morning, prior to breakfast, but they provided a very satisfying boxed meal. Breakfasts are a special treat, with a variety of choices, tasty food properly cooked and politely served by the attentive waitstaff. I should also mention that the price is quite competitive, also. For a three-night stay, they offer a discount of 5%, so ours was 95 pounds per night ($147). All in all, a real treat!!

Surprisingly there's no mention of the existence of a wine flight anywhere, but there is one which was very good. There's also some decent dessert and other sweet wines and I had a lovely chardonnay. What I found different here to my other (very limited) experience of tasting menus was the courses were really tasting and satisfying, I'm often disappointed by the main meat course but that was probably my favourite here. Really though I couldn't fault anything about the experience, apart from the classic struggle to get the bill at the end - not that we were keen to leave such a cosy environment! I would strongly recommend and would love to return.

The facilities at the Parkway gave our out of town guests the opportunity of using it as a base to visit family and/or the tourist attractions which they all took advantage of.

Asked at the bar, and a manager quickly joined us and took us to his office despite the late hour. I explained our situation, and was quickly assigned a room at the top of the stairs. Access to floors and rooms is via a key card. The double room was on the small side, but was a family room, so had an adjoining, smaller room with twin bed, lots of teas, coffees, etc. and a kettle plus some complimentary bottles of water. Room was perfectly adequate and looked out onto the picturesque square in front of the hotel. Shower stall was small, but all the rooms we stayed in in the UK were small with a small shower stall (by US standards). Tasty, hearty, "Full English" fried breakfast with unlimited refills on the tea and coffee (not common in the UK). There were also a good number of lighter breakfast options available. The bar and restaurant areas were welcoming and cosy. Given that this is a former coaching inn from the stage coach days, I can't really fault it for having stairs to the rooms (although another review mentions a elevator). Thirsk is a cute little country town, and I would gladly stay here again if I were in the area. It's also only 400 yards away from the actual James Herriot house and veterinary practice museum from the "All Creatures Great and Small" books and TV series, which is kitted out inside as it would have been in the 1930s. Well worth a visit if you're a fan.

Despite being a 'chain' pub, The Three Tuns manages to capture a 'down the local' kind of feel, rather than the soulless atmosphere some of these pubs usually have. In addition to the pub, there are hotel rooms above, however, we only ventured as far as the bar tonight (the rooms do look rather lovely on their web-site!). Tasteful decor, cosy with quirky little caves, hidey holes and candlelit tables. The drink was a great price (£12 for a tasty bottle of Marlborough Sauvingnon Blanc!) and the food that was passing us by looked fairly wholesome and tasty. It wasn't too crowded given it was a Saturday night (and a Yorkshire St Patricks Day!), and the crowd was a mix of couples, groups of young and old and strange older men showing me photos of their vintage cars (I was trying to be polite and kept missing my opportunity to get served at the bar!) We had a nice night here, and I'd definitely make a return visit when I'm next around these parts! Incidentally, we got chips from the local chippy on the way home and found...another Irishman...that was where he was hiding all along!
