Used the hotel as stay over for Thirsk races - 30 minutes away - Very impressed with the make-over which gave it the feel of a Crowne Plaza for the price of a Holiday Inn. Also only hotel in the North Yorks area that had such good facilities - state of the art gym, pool sauna etc. Only one gripe... More

Great hotel, fantastic room which has obviously been recently renovated. Dinner and breakfast were great with a good selection. A special mention to the staff for their friendly service and also a HUGE thank you for returning my glasses to me so promptly after I stupidly left them in my room!! If I had one negative it would be the... More

I stay in a lot of Holiday Inns, and this one suits me for work. It's had a recent re-vamp so looks good. The Italian restaurant has some super food, and the staff are always pretty attentive. The bar area is pleasant too, so if you're staying alone, you'll probably feel very comfortable eating in the bar, or just reading... More

They've certainly spent some cash here! The hotel has been transformed into a very good hotel, close to the A1/A66. Rooms are very good and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Despite the close location to the A1 the rooms are very quiet and very well priced.

Stayed for family anniversary. Arrived Friday during a Prom (not an issue although very busy at reception), eat at Italian (fantastic food, prices ok). Function on Saturday was brilliant, food excellent, staff attentive and always ready to fill your glasses. No objection to some of us still being up at 3am! Breakfast great, plenty of food, and good choices. We... More

Very clean, modern and comfortable hotel. Much nicer than other Holiday Inns I've stayed at, with very comfy beds and a choice of pillow firmness. Nice touches of complementary bottled water and Kit-Kat in the room. The bar served great food very quickly, good because the Italian got booked up. The breakfasts were very nice and with friendly and personal... More

Stayed one night travelling on business. As others have said, the stylish modern interior is vastly better than the drab exterior. Car park extremely full - leisure centre users?- and had to park a long way from the entrance. Stylish well-equipped rooms.Good Italian-themed restaurant - I was travelling with two Italians so I was a bit dubious, but they were... More

I booked a meeting room this week to get my team together for their quarterly review, we arrived at around 4pm and as soon as I got out of the car I was hit by the smell.....must be pigs near by my god it was strong and made a hastily entrance to the hotel foyer!!. Not the hotels fault I... More
