Pros:

We were delighted with the hotel and staff. We liked the proximity of the hotel as it was just outside of York. We also liked the food in the Restaurant zit was delicious..

Cons:

We will never book the hotel through Booking .com again . We were led to believe that we had breakfast included. Next time we come to York we will book it with yourselves. I have a card now.

For business trips, consider the location. For tourism – book without hesitation.
Pros:

The hotel is in a quiet location with excellent service. Direct buses run to the central part of York, so this hotel is perfect for tourism.

In the room, I found an iron, ironing board, and a trouser press already provided without having to ask. Each socket and light source can be switched on and off independently.

The breakfast buffet isn’t particularly varied, but you can easily assemble a full English breakfast. The small berry muffins are absolutely delicious and definitely worth trying.

Cons:

It’s quite easy to get lost in the old part of the building, even with directional signs. The floors are very creaky, though this actually adds to the old manor atmosphere.

There are no European-style power sockets in the room – you’ll definitely need an adapter. The taps are traditional English style (one for boiling hot water and one for ice-cold), so you can only get a comfortable water temperature in the shower. The room has no minibar (nowhere to keep items cold) and no safe for storing valuables.

Buses to the city run infrequently and taxi waiting times are unpredictable, but that’s not the hotel’s fault – just something to keep in mind.

One small detail: if you’re an athlete or carefully monitor your weight, bring your own scales. The hotel has no weighing option at all – neither for body weight nor for luggage.
