I needed a hotel for a single night stay close to Thirsk and this one fitted the bill for price and location. The place feels more like a pub that does rooms rather than a hotel but at the end of the day all I want is a good nights sleep and a decent breakfast. Check in was fast and... More

We took the whole restaurant over for a private Golden Wedding party for seventy people and were absolutely delighted with the quality of the food and service throughout. The whole event ran exactly as planned and it is a real pleasure to report that the new owners and management team are getting things spot on right. Well done and if... More

We stayed at Oswalds recently, the room was clean and nicely furnished. The real highlight for us though was the food! The menu was well balanced and priced and the staff were attentive.

Warm and friendly welcome from friendly Yorkshire staff. Nice, clean and comfortable room. Excellent breakfast. Weren't able to have dinner there this time as we were out visiting – a pity, as the chef is top-notch. Sowerby is a beautiful haven of Georgian houses. More

Two young lads and a lass of similar age. Extremely polite but out of their depth when it comes to... More

Lovely clean room, attentive staff and always more then willing to go 'the extra mile' to ensure you have a safe and pleasant stay. I stayed last week and went back again this week. Would thoroughly recommend. The food is excellent quality with a good variety and so is the breakfast! More
