The cottage was well decorated, warm and comfortable. It was quiet on an autumn evening. It is close to the parking and in the courtyard which might be busy on a summer evening. The staff were attentive and aervice was good.

Comfy bed. Just the one pillow each. I know not everyone needs/wants two but the choice is always nice. Extremely low beam that demanded caution whenever moving in the room. Tired, old bathroom with peeling woodchip paper. Safe to say that the room we had wouldn't be the one fearured in listings. Adequate enough but not somewhere to head for if you're looking for and kind of special night away.

The Breakfast was included and was really excellent (good choices, fresh good quality ingredients, well presented etc.), and the free off-road parking at the rear was convenient. We stayed in the cottage which is nicely presented, and good value. The only minor issues were the tv remote didn’t work (probably just batteries), the bathroom is a bit tired (toilet hard to flush, mold around the bath), but the shower and overall facilities were good enough. Overall, a comfortable good value stay.

A tad disappointing

We expected a typical four star stay. What we got was an average three star hotel. The breakfasts were good, the evening meals quite good but really just a pub menu. The room had a small amount of tea coffee sugar and one pack of biscuits when we arrived. We had to ask for extra on the first evening but expected them to be topped up during our daily room refresh. However those never happened! At all during our three night stay! So each day we had to find someone to ask for additional supplies. I don’t think having three hot drinks in our room is asking too much. We didn’t ask for biscuits so not sure if they would have been provided daily. The staff were generally helpful and friendly and doing their best but the hotel seemed understaffed with no evidence of anyone overseeing things and being in charge. Our room was quirky but that was ok. The bathroom was disappointing with a toilet seat that didn’t fit and a cold water tap with very poor pressure. The shower was good. We didn’t let any of these things spoil our break as we were out and about during the day and ate elsewhere on the last two nights.

Nice friendly welcome

Very nice stay, staff were very welcoming and friendly. The hotel is very traditional and the rooms spacious but needed some TLC. For example half empty toiletries and no toilet roll. Overall though this is a nice and friendly pub hotel and great value for money with the bonus of nice staff. The food in the pub was great and good value for money and the hotel breakfast was equally as nice. We would stay here again if in the area

Avoid at all costs!!!!

Disgusting. Dirty. Unsafe. Owners are bullies. I had to call the police as they tried to throw my family out because I complained at the state of the kettle and lack of basic shower facilities. The landlord tried to break in. It was horrendous! See my review on trip advisor for full details- there wasn't enough characters in this box to leave the full horrendous, traumatic review.

Disappointing but ok stay.

We got “upgraded” to the cottage room which is in the courtyard of the pub. The room was big and had a separate lounge/kitchenette and bathroom. However the decor is very old fashioned and the toilet didn’t flush very well, the shower screen needs attention as water leaked when we had a shower. The front door sticks and is difficult to lock. We didn’t find the bed very comfortable and looks old. Breakfast was ok. The whole pub needs decorating and a good clean. It doesn’t look like there have been much investment in the pub for a long time. We only used it a base for touring around the North York Moors. There’s not a lot to do in Kirby Moorside, next time we probably would stay in a bigger town like Pickering.
