Always stay here when visiting family . On checking in would have been nice to have someone offer take suitcase to room as up a lot of stairs to first floor then another winding staircase to room ! Lovely cosy corner room with a comfortable double bed . 3 windows which overlooked car park and outside seating . Was disappointed with breakfast , bacon was dry , poached egg was hard f

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.

Great 2 nights in North Yorkshire.

Beautiful comfortable and stylish room in the Market place in the centre of Thirsk, a two nights stay for my wife's birthday, we could not fault this 4star hotel , and would certainly stay again if going to North Yorkshire and would recommend it for your stay.

Overall we had a lovely stay and the staff were brilliant. We had booked a superior double room and were given room 1. We were disappointed with this room as it had a smell of drains coming from the bathroom and was also quite small. We asked to be moved but were told this wasn’t possible due to the hotel being full, however, this would not stop us staying there again. We ate breakfast and dinner in the hotel and the food was really lovely.

Unfortunately our room was far too hot, making our stay uncomfortable meaning we couldn’t sleep. The reason being, there were hot water pipes running through the bedroom and en-suite which were very hot 24 hours a day. A small fan was provided which was woefully inadequate to cope with the heat. We did ask to move rooms but were told there was no other room available and in any case all other rooms had hot water pipes running through too. Overall this problem spoiled our stay in the hotel.

This is an amazing property in a lovely city. Part of The Coaching Inns Group, they are unique historic places with excellent service and fabulous food. There is no elevator, but they graciously moved our heavier luggage.
