Give the hotel a wide berth if you want to sleep
Pros:

The room was very nice and clean, location was excellent too.

Cons:

I was expecting a bit of noise from the bar downstairs until closing time at midnight, however there was loud music and a lot of people chatting, singing etc. The music went on until 05:30am, I could still hear people talking in the bar until 6am. I had to get up for work at 6am, this was on a Thursday night.

Greeted like old friends by staff and customers
Pros:

Very friendly greeting from the staff and some of the customers when we arrived in the pub.
Shown to our room by a very pleasant gentlemen who explained everything perfectly
They have clearly recently spent a lot of money refurbishing the bedrooms. Lovely wooden doors and modern bathroom suites
Great view of Selby Abbey from the window
Public car park right outside the pub, we could see the car from our room

Cons:

A very minor suggestion for improvement would be some hand soap in the bathroom, I found some shower gel in the shower so I used that. But other than that, it was fabulous, perfect for our needs

It would have been perfect except there was no hot water
Pros:

Great location and value for money

Cons:

Unfortunately there was no hot water when using the shower or sink. As it was morning and we were wearing PJ’s we didn’t want to have to go into the pub to tell them.
