Great hotel and facilities, visited twice and will visit again, would recommend.
Great hotel for visiting York with kids. The room was spacious with 2 extra beds for broods and the swimming pool was lovely and clean. Would stay again
Room was clean and well appointed. Restaurant food was of a good standard. Pool was clean but you can only book a 30min slot and there are only two changing cubicles.
