Vale of York restaurant and rooms

lovely compact rooms separate from the main building. huge comfortable bed with very adequate tea & coffee facilities. Ability to turn the radiator up or off depending on individual needs. we were visiting friends so didn't use the room as a base to visit locations as such, but it is close to Thirsk & a short drive to Allerton which is great for shopping. Fantastic Italian restaurant in Thirsk town centre which we can highly recommend too.

probably would have liked a blind or privacy net at the window as had to leave the curtains drawn, but it didn't affect our stay.

We were made too feel very welcome as soon as we got there, nothing was a problem for ceejay & Paul, wonderful host, couldn't do enough for us, rooms, clean, beds and pillows were comfortable, great atmosphere, and we can't forget Steve the chef, for the beautiful tasty breakfast, we went as customers and left as friends, will definitely be back, thank you, Sam & Jay,

There wasn't anything too dislike.

Absolutely lovely room, so cosy and homely , bed was unbelievably comfy ! Beautiful little outside seating to room even though it was raining I did take the chance to sit outside ! Lady who checked me in was so lovely and chatty made me feel very welcome !

Room could have been cleaner , snot like smears on wall, cushion just thrown on floor (presuming cleaner forgot to put it on bed) . No toilet roll was in the bathroom so had to go get some .

Large room with 2 beds tv and ensuite. Comfortable beds and a good shower. The radiator was easy to adjust and easy to keep the room warm. There's a lawn behind the hotel which was convenient to walk the dogs. There is a convenience store next door which was very useful. Walking up the road is a grass verge which was also good for the dogs. The hotel restaurant was clean and accepts dogs. We came away at the last minute to see a friend in Thirsk and the location was perfect for our needs.

No magnetic catch on shower door so water came out on to the floor. There was no shelf above the basin and no hooks anywhere. it required a couple of hooks on wall in bedroom for coats inside the door. A chest of drawers. the bedside cabinets were minute which gave very little room for personal pieces.

never got breakfast.

kettle could have been better.

Stopped before ! Lovely place x x x .

Nothing ! All good x

The evening meal was good.

The ensuite was tiny. Could hardly move. Washbowl was suitable for a downstairs cloakroom only. No shelf, hook, or anywhere to put wash bag etc. one beside table in a room designed for three people.

Location was good for our break

Staff not very good- no food available due to a fire in the adjoining flat- had to evacuate and go elswhere

Fantastic place to stay. We loved the rooms being self-contained units rather than above the pub itself, made for a pleasantly quiet night. Also, it felt more private than being along a corridor of rooms. Nice not to have to lug our cases up lots of steps too, the car park is very close by. All the staff were absolutely lovely, very helpful and friendly. The comfiest beds I've used outside of the big branded hotels, decent size, really comfy mattresses, and 2 pillows per person as standard - a very pleasant surprise! Breakfast was incredible, we had the pancakes and omelette, wolfed them down, it was so good. Compliments to the chef! Really appreciated the 11am check out time, after a long week of early mornings it was nice to not have to rush to be out of our room.

Only small issues such as no towel rail in the bathroom (just used the closed toilet lid as a shelf while we showered, no problem), and our shower door didn't close fully (a few mm, not enough to actually cause an issue). Definitely no reason to be as incredibly rude as some other customers were while we were there! The owner explained why some things weren't necessarily perfect, and it is totally understandable. Give this place a chance, it's a real gem!
