This hotel was perfect for our trip to Ampleforth. The room was perfect and the staff were amazing. We had a wonderful evening meal in the restaurant and the bar area is very pleasant with many friendly locals. The breakfast was to dye for. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay
Very nice room with jacuzzi bath, room allowed dogs and easy external access.
Food was excellent- both dinner and breakfast. Good atmosphere in the bar

Delicious food. Beautiful orangery. Great outdoor seating area. Friendly, helpful stiff. Big bed, clean room.
From first sight of this very pretty hotel with its beautiful hanging baskets and very attractive outside terrace to the very warm welcome and check in I knew we’d made a good choice. Such a peaceful location, very nicely appointed bedrooms, great menu choice in the evening and at breakfast - all was very very good. Of course a hotel cannot be successful simply by nature of its nicely appointed public areas - it needs great staff - and everyone we met during our two night stay was without exception a credit to the business. We hope to return soon.
Room was really good and comfortable. Overlooked car park. Excellent bath/shower room. Didnt have evening meal as hotel had hen or stag party booked in. Also as I have limited appetite choice was restricted. Overall would certainly recommend staying here also dog friendly so daughters family could bring their dog and all atebrsakfast together
Second time we've stayed and can't wait to go back. The food here is delicious. I cannot recommend it enough. We stayed in the superior suite again and it was delightful. Such a comfy bed to.sleep onand just a lovely stay in general. Staff were excellent and extremely friendly. Location is lovely and very quiet, but worth the journey. You need to stay here and eat here
Staff very friendly and accommodating. Lovely room and comfortable sleep. Nice little touches like the welcome chocolates.
Love the decor throughout.
Evening meal and breakfast were both fabulous. Service was excellent.
Stopped for an overnight whilst visiting Castle Howard and York. Would stay again but not in the room we had (#12) as the access isn’t the best - I’m 6’ 3” and the entrance door is only about 5’ 2”. In fairness there’s no way of making it taller without extensive rework of the roof and there isn’t a headroom concern once inside the room that was lovely.
The food, both in the evening and at breakfast, was excellent.
Very nice complimentary chocolates in the room too.
Staff as always brilliant, so attentive! Returant, bar and room clean and comfortable. We absolutely love a trip here! Highly recommend. Food fantastic too!
