From first sight of this very pretty hotel with its beautiful hanging baskets and very attractive outside terrace to the very warm welcome and check in I knew we’d made a good choice. Such a peaceful location, very nicely appointed bedrooms, great menu choice in the evening and at breakfast - all was very very good. Of course a hotel cannot be successful simply by nature of its nicely appointed public areas - it needs great staff - and everyone we met during our two night stay was without exception a credit to the business. We hope to return soon.

Absolutely excellent
Second time we've stayed and can't wait to go back. The food here is delicious. I cannot recommend it enough. We stayed in the superior suite again and it was delightful. Such a comfy bed to.sleep onand just a lovely stay in general. Staff were excellent and extremely friendly. Location is lovely and very quiet, but worth the journey. You need to stay here and eat here

A lovely old rural pub & guesthouse with friendly staff & comfortable rooms & good amenities with a tasty little box of welcoming chocolates. The pub offered a lovely menu of home cooked food (recommend the pie) & served a nice breakfast as well. An enjoyable stay all round.

Stopped for an overnight whilst visiting Castle Howard and York. Would stay again but not in the room we had (#12) as the access isn’t the best - I’m 6’ 3” and the entrance door is only about 5’ 2”. In fairness there’s no way of making it taller without extensive rework of the roof and there isn’t a headroom concern once inside the room that was lovely. The food, both in the evening and at breakfast, was excellent. Very nice complimentary chocolates in the room too.
