Pros:

The hotel is perfectly placed for Driffield, right on the high street and an easy walk to the train station. The staff are great and very friendly, spot on full English breakfast. Although the hotel is a little dated it still has its charm and very clean.

Great for a weekend away
Pros:

Great location in the centre of the town. The room was spacious but dated. It was clean though. We didn't eat in the restaurant so can't comment about that. We did visit the spa and had a lovely afternoon enjoying the facilities.

Good Old World Feel.
Pros:

Generally the accommodation is functional.
The bathroom extractor fan noise from other rooms was intrusive.The bed was very comfortable and large.
The main building is 280 years old and I assume listed. It is quaint and interesting and understandably creeky.

Desperately needs money spent on the place
Pros:

It’s a step back in time when you walk into this hotel, although welcoming.
I was greeted warmly, checked in and shown to my room. The access to the room was not that nice, and I felt like I was heading to the kitchens.
The room itself, though clean, is in desperate need of an update (as is the whole hotel to be honest) with pink bedding, and a sofa covered with a blanket that I really did not want to sit on.
I paid quite a premium price for my room, which was not reflected in the quality of what I received.

Rude staff, not fresh food.
Pros:

When I book this hotel on the website it said electric charging point available however when I reached there . There No electric charging point.
I paid almost £12 for the breakfast. In the morning staff gave me menu for the drinks . £3.50 for latte and hot chocolate menu.
Food was not fresh . Croissants Was not fresh . I asked for fresh and she put in micro wave and warm up for me. It was so hard look life 10/12 days old.
Staff was rude. When I made complain manger gave me refund and asked me to leave before 11 am.
Not happpy at all . Do not go there

No Frills
Pros:

The hotel itself is fascinating. An old place with many interesting features. The people in charge are very nice. We didn't eat there but saw some of the food and it looked good.
The room we had overlooked the street which was quite noisy at night but got less noisy after midnight.
The room itself was very old fashioned and tired. Clean and functional but tired.

Not the best
Pros:

I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. Our room was cool and smelt musty. The heating wouldn't turn on to heat up the room. We had a small soft double bed which I didn’t find comfortable but that may be a personal issue. I got up on Sunday morning and there was no hot water for a shower. We didn’t use the spa. Breakfast was ok but nothing special . There is some limited free parking which is good but the car park is tight. Some of the staff were helpful but we had to wait for check in for about 10 minutes as the staff were busy elsewhere.

The accommodation standard was poor especially as I paid for an executive double room. I won’t go back

Never missed that dartboard!
Pros:

Chose this hotel, because of the pool and spa which turned out to be nothing like the pictures. The staff are friendly, but the natives are not, it reminded me of the dartboard scene in American werewolf.
Old Hotel, which has its charm, with creaky floorboards to keep you up at night as well as the paper, thin walls, put a jumper on for breakfast if you're going in the winter
