We stayed here at the end of may. The hotel is affordable, excellent location within walking distance of the attractions. With decent size rooms which are very well presented and spotless! The hotel had no problem with accommodating my 86 year old uncle that has trouble walking in one of the downstairs room, which has been adapted. The owner Valerie... More

We visited the Old Manse recently for a celebration Dinner and I can honestly say it was a superb meal. We were attended to as though we were Royalty, and the food was wonderfully cooked and presented. Our only problem was that after having enjoyed the complementary breads and olives and crudites, and then a substantial starter and main course,... More

Having read the reviews on here, we booked. I'm really not sure how to rate this hotel though because some things were excellent - the breakfasts being the main one - whilst others were disappointing. The dining area is good and well maintained, but the rooms feel very tired and in need of a handyman (or woman) to do a... More

We didn't stay at the hotel, but the food had been recommended to us by a family member. We met some friends for an evening meal & had the set menu. This was very good value for money, the selection of 7 vegetables were all fresh. The food was excellent, hot & tasty & we only just managed to finish... More

We used the hotel as a base to scout for a house to buy. The staff are very friendly, the breakfast excellent and it is handily located. The long climb to the top floor was a shock to the system!;-) Nowadays it is a bonus to have tea / coffee supplied in the bedroom - thank you!

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying here on Thursday Night. It was Lovely, we were met by a Lovely Lady who couldn't do enough for us. The room was very nice (Room 7) right at the top of the house with a great view over the rear garden. Great bed and great Tea and Coffee in the... More

We were made very welcome and waited in a lovely lounge with open fire untill our table was ready.The staff are all very friendly and efficient. However the real WOW FACTOR came in the food. The menu is simple,but the depth of flavour in all of our... More

I visited The Manse in late-February and had the very best introduction to North Yorkshire hospitality that I could have hoped for. Valerie and her team made me very welcome when I arrived after a lengthy journey, and I felt at home right away. The Hotel is spotless, warm (on a wintery February evening), perfect for a good night's sleep,... More

This isexceptional service on leaving we were met by the owner and she asked if we had enjoyed our meal ,the rating says... More
