Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a beautiful area close to the national park, offering scenic views. However, it is challenging to access Thirsk town center due to limited taxi services. The rooms were cleaned daily, but breakfast was described as tasteless and watery. The service stood out with a special health request being well-handled.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were cleaned daily, but the table was sticky, and some edges were coming away. The breakfast was tasteless and watery despite having a comfortable bed. The staff provided service with a particular request for health reasons, and it seems one member of staff is also the chef. Room service, housekeeping, and laundry were good, but there were some disappointments. The location was beautiful with stunning grounds, but there were no footpaths to the market place on the road. The dining experience left more to be desired, especially for those expecting delicious Indonesian dishes.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, nestled in beautiful grounds, and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. The only downside was the challenge of getting to and from Thirsk town center due to scarce taxis. The proximity to the national park is a major plus, though.
