Attention to detail
The main areas appeared clean, however, the bedroom blinds were shabby and in poor condition, it would look much better if they were replaced. some items were not cleaned i.e. the toilet roll holders, floor corners, reverse of the doors, lack of all important attention to detail, the dining room at the rear was the same, the wooden railings on the walls and the radiator tops were dusty and had not been hot cloth wiped for some time as there was build up of spalsh marks and dust. The wall light shades were in need of a good wash and the salt & pepper cruets were filthy, as I said just these attention to details would be beneficial.

The Golden Fleece was a one night stay in room 25 of Mews which had no natural light, that said the room was very comfortable. The dining experience was very good and the staff were very pleasant and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

A Quirky Hotel with Bags of Charm & Heaps of Class
Stayed in the Dick Turpin suite - a split room with stairs up to the bathroom and shower room A lovely place to stay but you must be fit as a lot of stairs & no lift! I would say the Golden Fleece is the best hotel in THIRSK & the classiest.

This is a nice hotel right in the middle of town. It is about two minutes from the James Herriot house and all the shops and restaurants. The only problem is there is no lift (elevator) and you will have to carry your own bags up the steep stairs to your room. (There are no rooms on the ground floor). The staff does not volunteer to help you with your bags, so be prepared to lug them up yourself. The breakfast was very nice (and they have a vegan option), plus there is a bar and restaurant on the premises. The parking is directly behind the property in a private lot. The staff were very friendly.

Generally not a good front desk experience

The hotel was good overall. 2 things that let it down, First was the service provided by the staff, they would benefit from some good customer service training. The second was the cost and portion size of the food in the restaurant. Although the quality of the food was good the cost for the size of the portion was too high.
