Nice but

the place is nice, staff are friendly, the room we were in was in need of refurbishment, it had that old smell to it. Pool and spa was nice, loved how warm the pool was. Didn't think much to the pub / food, just glad i didn't pay the extra for the meal package as that would have been a real disappointment. The bed was uncomfortable so neither my partner or I had a good sleep.

Took the wife to the parsonage hotel and spa for a valentine/birthday weekend get away and couldn’t be more happy with the service we received. The room was lovely and spacious not to mention cleaned to a high standard. The area where the hotel is situated is nice and quiet with very little noise. We will definitely be visiting again and can’t wait.

The Parsonage Hotel, York

Fabulous hotel just outside York with ample free parking and an EV charging point (flat fee £30-first come first served). Super helpful and welcoming reception staff, room a good size and very clean and inviting. Dinner at the Fat Abbot was of a really good quality, and the bar staff were really great. Breakfast very good, with even better service. Easy bus in to York, stop just outside the main building. Only complaint-couldn’t stay longer! Thank you everyone at the Parsonage.

Poor, well below standards

Looks stunning from the outside, sadly the good part ended with that. The spa was next to the pub, not joined onto the hotel itself, changes for , Robe, slippers, TOWLES EVEN! Just tooth shine off the stay. Why there is. Charge when you would need a robe and slippers with the spa being so far away from the hotel is beyond me. Spa wasn’t exclusive to hotel guests and felt more like a communal spa than something at as hotel retreat WiFi was shocking and didn’t work very well, the room was very tired and dated with very little character in what looks a stunning building from the outside. Reception staff not very engaged either. Breakfast wasn’t included and charged separately, despite this if you wanted anything other than a regular coffee then that was charged on top of your breakfast. (Which was limited and not very warm) don’t think I will stay again due to the penny pinching charges that would normally be included included in my experience. Sadly wouldn’t stay again.

Average, definitely could do better !

The negatives. A lovely building but the old part is in need of TLC, it looks tired. Breakfast is a buffet, plentiful but uninspiring ie you won't starve but that's as far as it goes. There aren't enough staff generally in the hotel so service is patchy and at times unsatisfactory (I'm sure they're trying hard but just not enough of them !) The spa closed earlier on the weekend, which seemed counter intuitive. The young lady on the spa reception was not a good advert for customer service, we asked to hire robes towel and slippers as a 'bundle' and were told there were no bundles available despite half a dozen being clearly visible ( no explanation and we didn't have the energy to argue the point ) we ended up just getting a towel and slippers but it was a bit confusing ! The good things ! The Parsonage main building is very impressive and charming, the lights along the drive are a nice touch. Parking was plentiful and close by. A few of the staff on reception were very friendly and helpful, our bathroom was nicely done (though there were broken floor tiles). The food at The Fat Abbott (pub next door) was lovely and the waiters were very attentive especially the young dark haired guy on Sat night, well done that man ! The location is great for getting into York as the bus stop is about 50 yds away. To round up, it's not good enough for the prices they charge. Sadly wouldn't stay there again. Someone needs to invest time and money in this faded old beauty !
