Had a lovely stay at this hotel. What a beautiful setting, the grounds were impressive and the location means it’s easy to hop onto a bus into York. The on site pub was convenient after a relaxing visit to the spa. My room was in a quiet location with lovely views. The only negative was the room was a bit chilly on waking. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would stay here again.

Hotel was nice and clean, pool and leisure facilities were good. Had 1 issue where somehow the window in the room opened between check in and returning to room. Reception adamant nobody had been in the room. I took a photo of the view from the window as I left the room, therefore showing the window was closed. Reception advised that they spoke to the manager but they did not come to me, just asked reception to report that nobody had been in. So how did the window open?

It’s hard to rate as we didn’t get to stay in the hotel,we were shipped off to above the pub,every time someone washed there hands in the pub toilets we heard it,as well as the music, but it did stop at 11 pm, but was back the day after, the shower screen has a gap between it and the bath so every time you showered it flooded the bathroom. No Wi-Fi, in the rooms above the pub, and you then have to brave the weather to go for breakfast, as it’s in the hotel On a positive note the room was clean, and the food was good for breakfast and also in the fat abbot the food was excellent ,and the staff where ward and friendly once the music stopped we slept well

The property requires the decor updating and in the room we occupied there was mould on the tiles at the base of the bath. We stayed for two nights and used the tea and coffee facilities on the first day. On the second day we were out all day and found that the tea facilities had not been replaced and no maid service had been in the room.

We arrived on sat 31st August , there was a wedding being held which was fine but as we wanted a drink in the bar before our meal it felt like we were in the way , no lemonade for a mixer had to find some and no ice as they had ran out! Half way through our warm drink a young waiter appeared and asked have you done with those, I think he meant the glasses but still half full, as we payed to stay in a 4 star hotel I would have expect a better standard, the hotel looks very tired around the edges , bath panel rotten, wall paper stained and ripped, the pool area was rusty on the steelwork and carpets with faded tape covering holes. So all in all not impressed and wouldn’t recommend find a proper 4 star hotel instead.

Lovely setting in a old manor property. Full use of spa facilities upgrades to an average experience the otherwise lackluster things. No toiletries other than small bar of soap. Went to ask for more and they could not find any. Bath tub was very dirty upon arrival along with dust and cobwebs throughout room. Room very hot despite a cool day outside and desk fan on througout. Service was slow in the breakfast (buffet style but had to flag a server for coffee despite being there quite a while. Observed others in same situarion) and dining room.

A few days away for my birthday.
This was a trip to mark our 53 wedding anniversary and my 76 birthday. We were impressed by the style and surroundings of the hotel. Service was exellent. Very friendly. Very comfortable lounge. Nice outside space. The room was very comfortable. On the down side we had no hand rail in the bath shower. And found the hotel a bit too quiet. But overall we had a nice stay.

The location was easy to get to York town centre. The spa was very disappointing. The spa area had no hot water. The sauna was cold. No notice was given of this issue. Work required to the property. Window latch’s broken and gaps in the windows in our room.

This our second visit to The Parsonage, and we were just as thrilled to stay there this time. It's in a beautiful setting with a well-maintained private, lawned garden to the side and rear. The rooms are of a good size and very clean and well presented. The staff are excellent and nothing is too much trouble. Once again, Elaine proved just how suited she is to hospitality. Cheerful, friendly and very helpful, she is a great ambassador for The Parsonage. The Fat Abbot serves lovely food and is so convenient. A real treat. We've already booked our stay in August 2025. The Parsonage is a great find. We wouldnt want to stay anywhere else. Great value, great service, great venue.

Check In: Waited at the reception desk for 20 minutes before we even saw a staff member. There were multiple other people also waiting. Turns out there was a wedding on and the ONE person working on reception was running around the whole property to check if rooms were ready as house keeping were not communicating back. Everyone's check-in was late, and some wedding guests didn't get into their rooms until 2.30 or later with the wedding due to start at 3pm. The guy himself was trying his best, but had no help or support from anyone else. I think we got to our room almost 90 minutes late. Hotel Room: TV Remote didn't work. Room is outdated and was also dirty. All cups were dirty and most of the room hadn't been wiped down in months. To sleep you have a choice of listening to a constant loud buzzing should you keep your key card inserted, or if you want no lights or anything else to work until morning, you can remove the card and the buzzing stops, but so does everything else. Breakfast: Walk in to a sign that says wait to be seated. To wait and then be shouted by the person on reception to just walk in. Again no staff anywhere. ALL cups dirty once again. Raised this to the staff who mocked my wife for the way she spoke and then came back to say we can't find any clean ones so these will have to do. Check out: Tried charging me again as their system was down so just guessed. They called me later for outstanding charges. But still can't pay as nobody every answers the phone!

Would definitely stay again, room was very nice and very clean. Breakfast excellant if a little pricey. Lovely setting. Evening meal in the adjoining building was good but could have been better. Calamari not great in the starter, Mange Toute raw and the bottle of Shiraz we ordered was poor.
