Getting a room for 3 is not always easy. We had two lovely rooms for 3 which my grandson loved as he didn’t have to share with his sister and Nana! Modern bathroom with walk in shower with good quality toiletries.

Great stay here

We stayed here during a trip to Thirsk for our friend’s wedding and it was brilliant. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and we had everything we needed. It’s located right in the town square so the location was perfect. Would definitely recommend to others!

Way to expensive - not worth the money!

Way too expensive for a tiny room! Worth max £90. Tried to book direct with hotel didn’t offer any discount. Reception very matter of fact and un-friendly. However hotels.com did us a better deal. Had to eat out as hotel prices way too expensive. Breakfast for 2 £35 ! Much better rooms and deals at Hotel du vin chains. Also super friendly there! Our birthday break spoiled by Noisy Neighbour, room next door all night! Then disturbing again from 05.00hrs till we left! Thirsk really busy town. Great Chinese called Magic Wok, lovely food.

Really good stay in this hotel which is in a great location. We had two rooms which were very modern and well equipped. We had breakfast one day food was good but they were short on staff which impacted on the service sadly.
