The Horseshoe Inn

Pickering

10/10 Exceptional

What a gem of a find. The delightfully secluded village of Levisham is home to the equally delightful Horseshoe Inn. The cleanliness of both the room and the Inn itself was second to none. All the staff were very pleasant and helpful. The food was delicious and the portions were more than adequate. A well stocked bar was appreciated by all. It was so nice we booked a further stay on a date next year before we departed. Well done to all at the Horseshoe Inn for making our stay so enjoyable.

The Union Inn & Restaurant

Malton

10/10 Exceptional

I had a really pleasant stay at the Union Inn. It's ideally located for exploring the eastern side of Yorkshire, the coast and the moors. A walk into Malton takes minutes. Pickering is a short drive away, or bring your bike and cycle the quiet backlanes. The room was clean, nicely decorated and comfortable. The cooked breakfasts were great as was the choice of cereals. Evening meals were excellent as was the beer! The owners have really put a lot of effort into making this a nice place to...

10/10 Exceptional

This was our second stay at the Forest and Vale. Our first since 'lockdown' and we were delighted that the hotel was as good as before. Unfortunately, we could only get a standard double room in the 'cottage annexe' No view but this was perfectly comfortable and adequate for our 4-night stay. Breakfasts were delightful, Cooked to order with plenty of choice. Good dinner menu too. The biggest plus point for this hotel though is the staff. Always friendly and helpful Few if any hotels we have...

The New Inn

Pickering

10/10 Exceptional

From arrival to departure, staff members were friendly, helpful and courteous. We were greeted warmly, escorted to the cottage where things were explained to us and shown. It was toasty warm and spotlessly clean. Very generous tea, coffee, milk and biscuits which were gratefully received after our drive. We opted to have dinner in the pub and that was excellent too: competitively priced, varied selection on the menu, good sized portions and well timed for serving. There is a room in the Inn...

Location was phenomenal, 10 mins from flamingo land and pickering Castle at 5 mins away. Some shops and take aways a small walk. Parking a bit hit and miss but managed to park both nights. Lovely decor and beds were comfortable. Couldn't recommend enough. Welcome basket was a very nice touch 10 out of 10

Lovely country hotel deserving of its awards. Super staff, despite their youth. Fabulous candle-lit bar area is cosy and inviting, log burner for Autumn adding warmth. Enjoyed dinner one night, although more than one vegetarian option would be most welcome! The Star nearby is a great option for eating too. The small swimming pool is very clean and warm, I’d hate to see the heating bill! Very minded to return soon.
