From driving up to the reception and departure the stay was outstanding. Two nights in the Alderney suite and we can’t wait to return. A newly built property only 6 years old it is pristine throughout, the decor is stunning, all furnishings and fixtures of the highest quality and it shows! As a retired hotelier I suppose I appreciate the attention to detail and the comfort of the mattress and pillows was perfect. The grounds and surrounding areas are magnificent. The staff are exceptional, well trained, efficient and helpful. Our new favourite place when visiting our favourite York City. Glowing review, yes! It’s well deserved x

Absolutely beautiful hotel! Felt like I was in Canada with the lovely lodge feel. Bright, modern, spotlessly clean. Lovely brekafast.
Just wished I lived closer (I’m 4.5hrs away) so I could go there more and that I’d booked a longer stay this time.
Can’t say a bad word about it.
