We had a two night stay and could not fault, staff extremely freindly and obliging wonderful breakfast did not have evening meal on this occasion, the food must be good if the breakfast is anything to go by. We are keen race goers and visit York regularly. In future this Hotel will be first on our list of places to... more

Pat and I have stayed here many times. We have yet to be disappointed. As always, the food was excellent. The staff, including the owner, Tony, were friendly and always helpful. To book, have a look at Travel Offers.co.uk more

Managed to get a deal price for a night. Just as well as the standard prices are not justified. The room was large but cold. The radiators gave out little warmth so managed, after a struggle, to get a portable heater. This had 2 settings - on and off. The evening meal was OK but nothing special. The breakfast was... more

In the lovely village of Hovingham, about 16 miles from York in the Howardian Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The hotel is attractive, with pleasant, if small, public areas with real fires. We booked through Expedia having failed to find a single room in York for that night.

The hotel staff could not have been more friendly, helpful and flexible, providing a private room for our clebration dinner, and adding... more

The heating was off at the time of registering due to a pressure drop but this was fixed in 2 mins and the whole stay was very enjoyable. A largish group... more

My wife and I had an excellent stay here between xmas 05 and the new year. Staff were very friendly and chatty, room was cosy, clean and warm (over ithe road from the hotel itself, in an annex), and the bar food was very good too. Would definitely return. more
