Worsley Arms Hotel

Giving the room 2 stars was generous. The room was tiny, luggage had to be kept standing up. The room was only set up for one person as only one towel and one cup. Mentioning how small the room was to the host, he replied well your luggage looks like your travelling for a week. That was none of his business. The bed looks fairly new. But the carpet looks old and unclean. The TV is set on a side table that gives no room to walk around to get to the side of the bed. It was really the worst night sleep we had whilst travelling the UK. The food was good, and reasonably priced. Breakfast was also very good.

Food decent but expensive. Drinks expensive. Room quite small-no floor space to use suitcase stand. Bed comfortable. Lot of stairs up to the room-bit of a long pull. Decor quite shabby and in need of refreshing.

Generally a very good hotel. Breakfast was excellent, evening meals were good and staff very friendly. The bathroom is tired and needs updating and the cleaning of the room was ok only. The beds were not properly made. Ideally located for Castle Howard and surrounding area and the village of Hoveringham is very picturesque

I thought i had booked a hotel room but it turned out to be a room in what looked to be a converted house. Big enough room but a rather firm king size mattress on top of a double divan base. Single window with a view to the shops and houses across the road. Very small TV, a reasonable size built in wardrobe, kettle, bin and bedside cabinets with a lamp on each. One of the lamps didn't work but it wasn't an issue. Good sized bathroom with bath and shower over, towels and toiletries included. Having to walk across the road to the dining room isn't a problem if the weather is fine but not so good if it's raining. The road can be quite busy at times. If you have breakfast you have to fill in a form telling the staff exactly what you want. There is limited choice though, all hot food includes eggs in one form or another. I don't eat eggs so i had to stick with cereal. I asked for warm croissants on the first morning but when they turned up they were barely warm and burnt almost black on top. The toast was also cold when that arrived. The Greek yoghurt was excellent and according to my wife the scrambled egg and single rasher of bacon was very good. Breakfast is the same every morning unless you fill in another form and you have to put everything on there including tea or coffee. Cereal and fruit juice is available on a help yourself basis.

Bitterly disappointed with the condition of the room on arrival especially as it was the end of a lovely day to celebrate a birthday. The room was freezing, radiator not working, there was an oil radiator but it was ineffective. The room was very tired & unwelcoming, dusty, old broken furniture, stained carpet, tiny tv for the size of the room. The bathroom was ancient, dead bugs all over the blind, cob webs all over the shower head, fortunately I don’t suffer with arachnophobia. The loo was dirty, stained & generally unpleasant. The staff were very nice & yes we could have complained there & then but on a Sat eve you wouldn’t get a decorator, plumber & deep clean I suspect.

Our 4th stay, says it all. Food is a particular highlight.

It was several miles out from York and Pickering, so you do require transport. We couldn't find anywhere else to have food locally and had to rely on the hotel. The food was all cooked fresh, but there were limited options. Apart from this the accommodation was comfortable.

The food served in the restaurant and at breakfast was very good. The hotel staff were always friendly and helpful. Not much goes on in Hovingham but it's a good base for walking or exploring the Moors and the Howardian Hills.

Very friendly, good food with nice surroundings.

This Hotel is in a Beautiful setting. The Cottages we were put in were spacious and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The evening meal was exceptional and bar area was very friendly. Breakfast was very plentiful and very enjoyable. The host Tony was a Very Welcoming and Very friendly helpful person. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Many Thanks and hope to see you again soon!!
