Spa facilities and breakfast were great. Beds, pillows were terribly hard and the pillows were also flat. They advertise that Elemis products are in the rooms, well yes, a hair/body wash and a small little lotion. I booked this property as it was my dad's 70th birthday and I wanted to gift him a treatment which was canceled on his birthday and rebooked on the day we were leaving to drive home. He had the treatment but couldn't relax and enjoy the benefits as he had to immediately get in a car to drive.

Disappointed, not as expected

Disappointed with the dated room which wasn'tin the main hotel and quite a walk from the main car park, especially with luggage. Ground floor room with a wide window that everyone looked through as they gained entry to the building, so no privacy. The room itself was very dark and dated. Old fashioned windows which didn't close properly, wardrobes and drawers that had an awful smell. Hairs on the bathroom floor. Door hanger left out for room to be serviced but it wasn't so no fresh towels or drinks tray replenished. Breakfast was ok but bacon extremely tough and over cooked.

Great Hotel and pool let down by spa and Fat Abbot

Hotel was excellent. Staff were great would recommend the Hotel and would stay there again. However booked a 1hr session at the spar which was cancelled by the spar only 2 hours before the due time, offered the next day but for only 1/2 hour and not the treatment required so declined.The pool and jucosy were however excellent The Fat Abbot pub?? Booked a meal at the resteraunt got a pub meal in the pub poor service and not Gastro food. Believe that the resteraunt had been taken over by a coach party that had arrived that afternoon. Worst of all on departure was given an invoice which indicated we had payed considerably more for the room to Hotel.com than if we had booked direct. Still waiting for an explanation about that.

Liked: Cleanliness
Large twin room, but so hot even with window open all night. There was a fan but not much difference. Large bathroom but with a step up shower cubical quite small and could do with updating . Was very disappointed when we tried to book a table for two in The Fat Abbot restaurant that is on site and was told that no tables available due to a large group. When I said we were guests of the hotel and did they not have reservations for guests we were told only if half board was booked. There was a Thai restaurant a very short walk away, the only other eating establishment in the area, and the food in there was superb, so we probably had a better experience there. The spa was very clean and very kept, didn’t like the fact that you were expected to pay for the hire of a towel and if you wanted to use a robe and slippers it was £10 . Breakfast was fresh and tasty.

Lovely old hotel with fabulous gardens to the rear- so peaceful. Garden benches needed cleaning. Rooms small but comfy. Bathroom very tired, bath enamel peeling. Full breakfast was excellent. No restaurant, a small pub on site but books up very quickly. Excellent Thai restaurant 5mins walk. Lots of shady parking. Spa/ pool popular, in front of the pub: The Fat Abbot. Buses into York ( approx 50mins) every 1/2hr 5mins walk from hotel.

Lovely hotel in beautiful setting. Staff friendly and helpful. Spa was lovely. Negative was lack of sockets in room near bed and having a ground floor room there was no option for leaving a window open so room was quite warm. I would love to stay here again but would ask for a higher floor room.
