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.

Better than expected for a pub-style hotel
The room was comfy and clean. I would have preferred an earlier breakfast as I was there for work.

Disappointed.
Having supported Coaching Inns Group over many years this is the worst room we have ever stayed in. It is so small and inadequate and not comfortable at all. There is no room to place anything - in fact the Robert’s radio has to be placed on the floor. The window coverings are broken. The bathroom is very very small and quite inadequate. It is a good job we are quite fit and able to manoeuvre sufficiently to be able to sit on the toilet!! No, we haven’t complained - nothing could be done about the shortcomings immediately. This needs a long term sorting. It will be a long time before we look again at a stay with Coaching Inn Group. Perhaps some sort of recognition for guests that stay loyal to the brand may help in the long term, but I am no expert…

We’ve been to this hotel for three years now but this year we was a bit disappointed with the housekeeping, they was cobwebs one was hanging from one of the small lights in the ceiling over our bed, and ledges and skirting boards needed dusting, also needed to ask for extra sugar and milk to make hot drinks, don’t get me wrong the hotel is nice but the housekeeping needs to be sorted.
