Pros - quick and easy check-in, spotless, felt like home from home, lots of parking, definitely will look at staying again
Lovely country pub. Large comfortable bedroom. Beautiful outdoor seating area/gardens. Had a couple of great local beers but did not eat. Super friendly landlord and locals.
Great stay at Thompsons Arms while visiting family in the area. Clean and comfortable room, very friendly hosts and must mention the terrific cooked breakfasts!
An added treat was the local musicians playing folk songs in the bar, a monthly event, so lucky to catch it :-)
Also a convenient location for visiting York, which was as delightful and interesting as ever.
Huge room with everything I would need for an overnight stay. Plenty of tea, coffee, and toiletries. Room was spotlessly clean and I had a great night's sleep in the comfortable bed. As a lone traveller, I was made to feel really welcome and would definitely return.
Stayed for one night in the one bedroom cottage. Clean, well appointed. Great shower. Really enjoyed the full English in the pub. Would re-book. Thank you

Lovely
Lovely room, lovely place, lovely people. Great place to stay.
Booked for one night whilst working at York Racecourse. Stuart and Lilli are absolutely fabulous hosts nothing too much trouble. My room was clean, comfortable and had a good shower. The cooked english breakfast was delicious and a great way to start the day. I would definitely recommend and will be looking to book again for next year. I nearly forgot Carling Lager at £3.50 a pint what more could you want.
Greeted by a lovely host - really polite and quickly showed me to my accommodation. Brilliant little cottage with secure parking and facilities in the cottage were great - lovely little kitchen.
Pub was lovely and bustling with locals too - felt very welcome.
100% recommend and will stay again when working in the area

Friendly and accommodating
We attended a near by wedding, the accommodation was perfect for what we needed, the owners were friendly, couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating, the surrounding area was lovely just a shame we didn’t have more time to explore.

Great find
Another great find, Hosts were friendly and gave advice on where to eat, even phoned another pub to check if food was available. The beer was great and well priced, had a great evening with the locals, the room was lovely and breakfast fantastic.
I read mixed reviews, but will look to stay here again when in the area and thoroughly recommend it.
