Inns in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom

We enjoyed our stay. It's not the best place I've ever stayed but not the worst either. Only a 10 minute walk from the train station. Very central, not far from York Minster and The Shambles, definitely a great location. Nice pubs, shops and cafes near by as well. Our room was River Ouse it was small but had everything we needed. Decent bed (bit firm for me fine for hubby) it had tea/coffee, hair dryer and iron. Toiletries in the bathroom and the shower was good though wee black bit fell off it when in use. The silicone could be doing with being replaced, it made the otherwise lovely bathroom look a bit grubby. It is a bit noisy so my sleep was a bit disrupted but given the location it was fine. Breakfast was good! Not a lot on the continental but the cooked breakfast was great. My husband raved about the sausages. Staff from checking in, serving drinks and at breakfast were all fabulous. Very friendly and attentive. Also the pub is lovely.

No checking desk so you just have to ask at the Bar, pillows weren’t to my liking but that’s my personal preference. Otherwise great place to stay staff were friendly and helpful and the place was clean food and drink were good and the room was really nice but no view. 5 minutes by car down to the front or jump on the bus opposite really enjoyed our stay. What I did like was the bike station out side to repair or work on your cycle 🚲 including pumping your tyres

The market town Knaresborough looked an ideal stopping point en route to London by car, just off the A1 and with stunning views from the castle which was a stronghold of medieval kings, across the River Nidd and viaduct. It's also near Mother Shipton's Cave, named after England's most famous Prophetess who lived some 500 years ago during the reign of King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. The cave is her legendary birthplace and near to a geological phenomenon, the Petrifying Well, England's oldest visitor attraction. Sadly, the weather closed in and driving down the rain-soaked A1, allied to an extensive delay because of traffic through Newcastle, meant it was closed when we got there. We had a walk but a chill wind forced us back to the Orchard Club Hotel situated near the centre of town. It's on the main road and easy to spot but finding the car park up a tight alleyway was a pain. We got there in the end. It is Grade II listed and was formerly the Newton House Hotel. Each room is named and styled with a particular fruit as its inspiration. Ours was comfortable if a tad old fashioned for our taste. It had everything you needed and we slept well despite our room overlooking a busy main road rear traffic lights. The breakfast choice was extensive and other guests were using it as a convenient location for touring to places like Fountains Abbey, the largest monastic ruins in the country, York and, of course, Mother Shipton's Cave.

A perfect location,great pub,and,restaurant.Food,beer,and,wine were good.Excellent accommodation Thoroughly recommended.

We usually stay at the Fairfax or the Feathers, but they were fully booked. We decided to try the Black Swan, probably shouldn’t have. The hotel is very tired despite the recent renovation - I can’t see where in the upper halls and bedrooms? The room was very basic. Bathrooms need updating, and in fact cleaning before guests arrive. We were very late to check in, despite this we had to ask for the bathroom to be cleaned as it had been forgotten about, hairs, old water marks and tide rings - grim! Though the lady member of staff did apologise profusely and was very nice at both dinner and check out - a real asset to the hotel. A room bug bare for me was nowhere to hang longer items like coats and dresses. The wardrobe was for shirts and folded trousers only. I had to hang long dresses on the light fitting. Also there is no shaver/toothbrush socket in the bathroom. Such little things that would make stays easier. We had dinner, which wasn’t bad for ‘pub grub’ but it wasn’t restaurant quality so to speak. I’d add that the gravy and sauce were more like water in both consistency and taste. Pies were great! Sadly we didn’t get to try the breakfast (which was included in our rate) as despite being a weekend, there are no room-service options and breakfasts aren’t available past 9.30am. So Sunday at 9.41am, we had to trot over to a nearby café to have breakfast. This was very annoying as you can imagine! I wouldn’t recommend staying here with so many better options locally. Which is a real shame, as the food used to be so much better and I would’ve expected after renovations the hotel would’ve seen an improvement. It has not. But, if you just want pub food and you’re in the area then maybe give it a go.

Awesome food and super friendly staff. Rooms is clean, bed is comfy. Menu is very good traditional pub fare - I had roast pigeon as a starter and steak and ale pie, both awesome. Would happily stay again. I was up too early to get breakfast so they offered to leave a breakfast box outside my room. Really above and beyond.

This pub has a four-star AA listing, but on current standards it needs a re-grade. Entrance to the bedrooms via the street is via a rotting canopy, unswept floor and dirty, torn carpet. Our room was clean - if you didn't examine the edges of the carpet too closely - but cramped, with an ill-fitting window that rattled in the night. The bathroom tiles were cracked and the only shelf to place toiletries was missing. The only availability for an evening meal was 5.30 or 6pm and breakfast was a not very holiday-friendly 8-9. The cooked-to-order breakfast was good, but there was no choice of fruit or yoghurt to start, just orange juice and boxes of cereal. The outside seating area was scruffy with containers of dead plants and some plastic flowers suspended from the trellis, with overflowing waste containers in the car park. This is no reflection on the staff who we found to be helpful and friendly and the place seemed to be busy with evening meals. But the whole experience compared unfavourably with a nearby pub that was well run, with excellent food and a lovely garden.

Theatre visit to York so we needed a central, cheap and straightforward bed for the night, which the Watergate offers. No nonsense, no fuss. Staff were welcoming and helpful. The car park is tucked round the back, accessed by a very narrow entrance directly off the city centre roads - beware, your parking sensors will go mental! Good use of key pad codes for accessing the car park and rooms, means you can come and go as you please, despite it being right in the middle of the city centre. Sadly the bar closes at 10 pm so we missed the after show drink and we skipped breakfast, which is cooked in a little cafe opposite and brought in to be served in the bar. No restaurant. Rooms are small, clean and tidy, tightly stacked alongside each other so it's a little noisy. Very old building so there are no right angles anywhere, which adds to the charm. Good value and would definitely use again for its convenience rather than comfort and relaxation.

The Plough Inn was a delightful place to stay. The staff were very friendly and the room was spotless! I had the best nights sleep ever because it’s so nice and quiet. The food was absolutely delicious also, both dinner and breakfast were fantastic. Drinks at the bar are reasonably priced. Parking is free and plentiful. Would love to visit it again. A lovely, cosy Yorkshire dales vibe.

A lovely venue in a picturesque village. An extremely warm welcome on arrival. Very friendly, relaxed atmosphere in the bar. Room was modern, clean and very comfortable. I arrived very late so missed out on an evening meal but breakfast was great with plenty of options, cooked to order. Would highly recommend. So glad I avoided the big chain hotels.

Stayed here for couple of nights as our usual place was full and it was a good price the room was very dated with very old furniture and 2 single beds pushed together in the bathroom every time you used toilet sink or shower it sounded like roadworks and as we were leaving sewage was coming up the bath plug hole We came back to the pub before 10pm on both nights to have a drink but it was closed ! Breakfast was nice but the poor chef was run ragged and looked like he was trying to do 10 jobs at once

Called in as its near Barbican. Didn't realise it has rooms, will have to try . Because this is one lovely local Games on tables, played pool and darts, not sure about the beer as I only drink guiness but that was spot on. I noticed they even had a slooshy machine and offering a pint plus a double Vodka for £7 but Im driving.and going to see a show.1 Okay its a bit dated ie decor - I ordered the homemade steak n ale pie . Wasn't disappointed what a pie it nearly filled the plate. That pie was stuffed with beef . Shame pub was pretty quiet. Anyhows of to Barbican to watch what I came for .

If you *love* loud house parties and drunk people—this is your place! The smell of fresh paint just *barely* covers up the reek of cigarette smoke wafting in the open windows. On the plus side, there’s a busy street right outside and no parking. If you simply have to stay in the heart of Whitby, you probably could do worse, but you’d pay a lot less than £125 night. The room is nice enough, clean and fairly well-appointed. But you’ll be trying to sleep over a very noisy bar that appears to be very popular with the gauntlet of smokers you’ll have drag your bags through to check-in. Caveat Emptor: I am a woman travelling alone and I really didn’t feel the access to guest rooms was sufficiently secure. The only reason I stayed after realising that guest security wasn’t a priority is that I’d pre-paid.

This trip to the UK, this is my favorite hotel. It really looks like the kind of hotel in classical fiction, downstairs is a bar, or a restaurant, upstairs is a few rooms. The driver thinks that such hotel conditions will be very poor, not as good as the hotel. In fact, it is not, it is particularly good, clean, comfortable, spacious and distinctive! The most unforgettable thing for me was that on the day of arrival, I came to menstruation, no sanitary napkins, and I was in a hurry, because there were no supermarket shops around, and the location was relatively biased. I booked this hotel for the next day by the Pickering steam train. I was eating on the first floor and told the waiter about my difficulties. I didn't express it accurately. The waiter went to the back and took dry paper towels, wet paper towels, and sanitary napkins and asked me which one I needed. I pointed to the sanitary napkins. She went to the back again and took three pieces for me. It was wrapped up and others couldn't see it. I thanked her very much, wanted to give her money, she didn't. I gave her a pooch she bought the day before yesterday and she happily took it. I was very happy!
