Value for money hotel. Fixtures and fittings are tired but the bed and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Great value cooked breakfast for £7. Road a bit noisy. We were able to leave our car behind the building for the day which was great. If stairs are an issue/heavy luggage pays to be aware you might have a few flights of steps to climb depending on your room! Staff very helpful and friendly.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (153 reviews)
A lovely clean, well maintained room with lots of space. Shower room also nice and spacious. Lots of tea/coffee sachets provided, and a thoughtful gesture was a foot tray left inside the door to put dirty shoes on. No noise outside and great for sleeping, extremely quiet. The only negative(and it's not the hotels fault, more where it's situated in the village) is the wi-fi signal isn't great. However the TV has more than enough channels on it to keep you entertained. Will definitely look at going back there next year for York Races
