Lovely clean room, very comfortable. Nice old coaching inn. Restaurant lets this hotel down poor choice of evening meal and poor quality. Would stay again, convenient for touring the area and comfortable, with parking on site.

The staff were exceptional as we had gone to visit a very poorly friend. Our plans changed yesterday and today hourly and we were allowed to stay in their carpark until we left just after 2 pm. Our friend is home from hospital but have not had chance to catch up but we enjoyed our time in Thirsk a beautiful place great for shopping

Our stay at the Golden Fleece was great! Easy check-in, lovely room. Food in the evening was great but we didn't have breakfast so can't comment. Easy walkable distance to James Herriot’s house. Parking very easy and felt secure! All in all very nice.

Safe parking at premises. Great welcome at reception. Cosy room with all amenities. Lovely bar/lounge with wide choice of teas, coffees, cakes - perfect for afternoon tea. Dinner menu excellent and imaginative and food perfectly cooked and beautifully presented in very comfortable dining room. The fire alarm went off at about 6pm and we were all evacuated to the muster point in the car park. Staff were very professional and efficient in directing us to fire escapes and checking that all guests were accounted for. It turned out to be a false alarm but I would praise the staff very highly for the way they handled it and looked after us so efficiently. We had a wonderful night’s stay at the Golden Fleece and would certainly go back again if we were in the area.

Great location, our room was massive, if i had to pick a fault, the shower cubicle could be a big bigger, theres wasnt much room to move in it. Certainly wouldnt stop us from returning though.

Very friendly and helpful staff, and the room was lovely. Wifi was not always reachable, didn’t work in the restaurant but then when I went up to room got on immediately. Prospective guests need to plan for hauling suitcases up stairs. (I had 39 steps to climb and many turns and fire doors to negotiate) and for VERY tight parking in the parking lot behind the hotel, but one can park for free in the public lot out front between 6pm and 8 am if the back fills up. Very convenient to Herriot museum and Tesco. Would stay there again.
