This is a cute hotel in a historic building. This is the right place for an authentic local…read moreexperience with hotel-level accommodations. It's not luxury and doesn't pretend to be but it has many of the amenities and perks that you're familiar with like coffee/tea in the room and housekeeping. There is a bar and restaurant right downstairs which is really nice and convenient. The food was actually the best I had in town. The location is ideal for the Herriot museum and Thirsk attractions. I booked through my tour company and when we arrived here, there was an issue with my reservation (it could not be found). We don't know why or how it happened but they arranged 3 nights stay anyway (I had booked 6 nights). Other than that, the service was friendly and my stay was comfortable so I would happily return.

I travel extensively in business...so I spend much time in quite a number of hotels, some big and…read morefancy, while others only to lay my head on a pillow and then I'm off. This establishment is housed in a 200-year old building...expect that the floors slope, stairs are steep and narrow, so watch your step. I spent two nights here. My room was small but adequate...perhaps 120 sq-ft. Furniture shows it age but functional. The bed and blankets were perfect...I have slept well. Heating is through a steam register...very efficient until the hotel turns off the boilers in the evening...my room was an ice box...!!! The bathroom is roomy and comfortable. The fixtures could use some routine maintenance or replacement. The shower failed to work, forcing me to shower...eh, bath/wash in the tub. Now I realize that many people love tubs, and I have enjoyed soaking in a few on occasion myself...but lets face it, they are not efficient for washing. There is a real nice pub downstairs...I enjoyed a pint of the local finest, black sheep. After dinner, enjoy a whiskey night cap. My meals were in the downstairs restaurant...a warm and inviting area, plenty of table seating. Breakfast either is continental (pastry, cereal, etc) or a hot cooked meal (ham/bacon/sausage, fried/scrambled eggs, toast,etc). My morning meals were excellent. At dinner time I suggest a table reservation, and when my meal was close to being ready, the server came and got me in the pub...excellent...!!! Dinner was prepared and plated well...tasty, very enjoyable. I recommend the roasted pork belly...very delightful. This is a very nice hotel, and I would stay here again. My only suggestions for improvement would be consider the need for warmth in the winter and don't turn off the boilers at night...it was early February, this is WINTER and it is COLD...and c'mon, fix the shower. There is WiFi...efficient (strong signal and quick speed) when you are downstairs in the pub, but a very poor signal in the room...whats up with that?
