This hotel has everything - amazing atmosphere, fantastic staff and most importantly a wine list to die for! However, please appreciate that it is not for everyone. The rooms are quite dated, but for me that's part of the charm. Don't come expecting a boutique hotel - come expecting a perfect, traditional English hotel. It's so quaint and in such... more

I thought it was important to write something here having just returned to London from this hotel. A day prior to leaving for York I stumbled across this review website and some of the comments worried me as I was taking my Partner away for her birthday weekend. Turned out to be utterly needless. Everything was perfect: the area, the... more

We had a great time at the Worsley Arms. Travelling down from Scotland was a nightmare journey so we were very pleased to be met with a smile and accompanied to our rooms. The room was spacious, clean and perfectly functional. Hovingham is a great little village and we drove in to York and into the North Yorkshire Moors [go... more

We were surprised to learn that this country pub(hotel) was charging Central London prices for decidedly sub-standard rooms. We had a room in the annexe which had a bath but no shower. I pointed out that this is 2009 and customers expect a shower if they are paying £140 per night for bed and breakfast, but to no avail. No... more

We thought this hotel looked lovely on the website. However, once we arrived it was apparent that this hotel needs to think about redecoration in many places. Our room in the cottages (an upmarket way of saying annexe) needed redecoration and a good clean. In particular the bathroom was outdated and the bath was very uninviting as the enamel had... more

The Worsley Arms is a lovely small hotel in Yorkshire England. The rooms are fairly sizeable considering that it's Europe and the setting in the village of Hovingham is beautiful. The prices are good value for what you pay and the meals are also very good. What makes this hotel really good was the customer service. The staff are very... more

Spent just one night here to attend a family wedding which let them off the hook a bit than had we been on our own. Yes! very friendly staff but that does not make up for many of the other failings. No one on reception when we arrived as the very nice receptionist was multi tasking serving food ! We... more

We stayed here at the end of January and were the only people there. Perhaps this was why the heating was turned down so low throughout the hotel, including our room. The staff had laid on an electric fan heater to provide an amount of heat, but this was inadequate and not really what we expected for the amount that... more

The service (esp during dinner) was really nice. The food was great. BUT the room was awful. It was not decorated well, it was not especially clean and was tired/old looking. The Bed was really uncomfortable (was obviously very old) and the bathroom shower did not work. We paid £90 for the night and the quality of the room was... more
