6/10 Good

Shame about the heating.
This was a second visit to this hotel for us. As we were meeting friends to celebrate early Christmas at Castle Howard. The hotel is well located, with an excellent chef and food menu. The staff are all helpful and friendly. The rooms are a reasonable size, with good ensuite facilities, and comfortable bed. However both our rooms suffered with heating problems, one with a cold radiator and the other with a leaky and cold radiator and we were advised to use the plug in radiators provided but not till after we had queried the situation. Our friends had to ask to move rooms due to the leak. This was all done easily but it was a disappointment to us that it appeared to be a known problem and we'd still been given these rooms. Such a shame when it is a lovely old inn in a beautiful village setting.

This hotel was perfect for our trip to Ampleforth. The room was perfect and the staff were amazing. We had a wonderful evening meal in the restaurant and the bar area is very pleasant with many friendly locals. The breakfast was to dye for. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay

From first sight of this very pretty hotel with its beautiful hanging baskets and very attractive outside terrace to the very warm welcome and check in I knew we’d made a good choice. Such a peaceful location, very nicely appointed bedrooms, great menu choice in the evening and at breakfast - all was very very good. Of course a hotel cannot be successful simply by nature of its nicely appointed public areas - it needs great staff - and everyone we met during our two night stay was without exception a credit to the business. We hope to return soon.

Second time we've stayed and can't wait to go back. The food here is delicious. I cannot recommend it enough. We stayed in the superior suite again and it was delightful. Such a comfy bed to.sleep onand just a lovely stay in general. Staff were excellent and extremely friendly. Location is lovely and very quiet, but worth the journey. You need to stay here and eat here
