Characterful hotel with excellent spa facilities
Main house was fine with lots of character. Spa facilities were excellent. We felt that the food standard at the Fat Abbott was fairly basic and maybe undermines the overall experience.

Three night break
Pending reviewReviewed Lovely warm room on ground floor. Best pillows we have slept on. The room and bathroom were spotless.The breakfasts were great with plenty of selection. The spa and pool is definitely the best we have been to. Changing rooms warm and very clean. We went at 8am and it was very quiet. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Bus service in to York was a bonus and stop just to left of hotel entrance. Will definitely return to this hotel on our next visit to York.

Lovely weekend but ended with a nasty surprise.
We booked a weekend away with added dinner and breakfasts. When we got to the hotel, we booked our 'evening meal. Before ordering food, we said we'd dinner in with our stay. I asked if there was a special menu or limit, and the waiter said no order what you want. On check out, we received a bill for £80 and was told that dinner had a £25.00 limit, and we should have received this in an email. I have looked again at all the emails received and I cannot see any reference to a £25 limit. I am disappointed that we weren't advised of this when we checked in, and especially when I asked the waiter before we ordered dinner. I was told, when we checked out, If I couldn't find an email about the £25 limit, I would be refunded. It's such a shame because, otherwise, we had a lovely weekend

Dosappointed
The room was very cold and the hotel was unable to provide any additional heating (extra blankets provided, but this is second best). We checked out by the required 11am but was told that we now couldnt use the spa facilities after check-out as "new guests will be coming in". But check-in time is from 2pm so there should have been a 3 hour window. This is the first time we're ever been told by a hotel that we cant use the spa facilities post check-out, and we should have been told this by or upon check-in so that we plan our stay better. Food in the "Fat Abbot" is good the service is prompt but service quality is only average/poor (our waiter didnt advise on specials board and didnt seem to know which drinks were on the wine list)

Just OK
Felt like going back in time. Decor is very dated. Very much in need of a refurb. Cleanliness and general room condition was ok, but would have expected a bit more for the price paid. Our room also had a slanted roof and wasn’t very big anyway but this made it feel much smaller. Also didn’t think that the £1.50 charge for towels to use the pool was really necessary or justified within the price we paid.

Visited for one night and we were both very impressed for the price. The staff were all friendly, the room was nice and clean. We stayed DB&B and the breakfast was lovely from the buffet. The evening meal was at The Fat Abbot and this was also really good. Following the meal we sat in the bar at the hotel and ennjoyed a drink in front of the open fire. Liked it that much we are having another night next week.

Great Hotel. And Spa
We stayed Friday for 1 night while visiting the Christmas markets. Great hotel and spa formerly the money. We paid for dinner bed and breakfast and ate in the Fat Abbot on site pub. Bus to York took about 30 mins and was every 15 minute £2 each way.
