    The room was lovely and very spacious with a huge bathroom. Both evening meal and breakfast were outstanding in the beautiful restaurant. The staff were very friendly and efficient. The location is close to Ripon, York, Harrogate and Leeds.

    The hotel was excellent, very good lay out. Restaurant, bar and area to relax where all spacious. The location was excellent for us to visit York via the park and ride which worked well for us.
