Lovely old hotel in centre of Thirsk, be prepared for noisy floorboards. Room was pleasant at side of hotel, so no view. The bathroom was up two steps, difficult at night, if partner is asleep and you do not want to put on a light. One negative, placed the 'we're going green, skip the clean' sign on the door, as we left in the morning. When we came back, the bed had been tidied, coffee and biscuits had been refreshed, very nice, but not what we had expected, as we had left all our stuff out in the room. We would stay here again, family in the area, but next time I will inform the desk we do not need housekeeping.

The hotel has its own car park, free for guests. At reception it was over quarter of an hour before anyone responded to give a room key to the guest who was waiting before us, and then to check us in. We had to repeat details such as car registration which had already been provided in the online pre-registration. Nonetheless staff were very friendly.

There are no lifts and only 2 ground floor rooms so this hotel is probably not for people with mobility issues.

The bathroom was larger than most and was clean. The bedroom was extremely compact for a double room, with barely space to squeeze past the end of the bed. This was a one-night stay so we did not use other hotel facilities.

The hotel is very conveniently located on the picturesque Market Square with its restaurants and several pubs for dinner and cafes for breakfast. (In the morning we noticed a line of mobility scooters outside the bakery next door so that seems to be the go-to breakfast spot.) There is also the main bus stop, with buses to surrounding villages and York, as well as a taxi stand.

Personal choice but didn't like the evening menu choices and breakfast was good if poached eggs were cooked better. Mine still had the clear egg slime on them. Staff were brilliant even down to the housekeeping. Room we had was really lovely, modern and a good size. Lots of space in bathroom and a great shower. Free parking was a real bonus.

Our superior room was looking tired and we didn’t have all the amenities in our room that are described on this site ie slippers,robes,coffee maker,espresso - the listing needs to be updated as I believe we have been “missold”
No lift and a lot of stairs to access our room
Breakfast was not as good as expected - the cooked breakfast was poor, poached eggs were hard and there was only one choice of pastry on the continental buffet, only one choice of milk and only cubed sugar that you can’t sprinkle on cereal

I cannot fault the property or the food; however, the staff were not attentive, and the overall level of customer service did not reflect what I would expect from a hotel of this standard. I reported a flickering light in the bathroom of my room, and the receptionist informed me that nothing could be done until the next guest arrived. This left me feeling unimportant compared with future guests, and it made it difficult to get ready the following morning.

Additionally, the restaurant staff spoke very loudly, as though they were in the kitchen rather than in front of guests. When I approached a member of staff with a question, she told me that her colleague would be with me shortly instead of assisting me herself. All I wanted to ask was whether the hollandaise sauce contained cream. She eventually returned to explain their process of taking drink orders before food orders, but the interaction did not feel guest-focused or accommodating. Overall the staff are not friendly and not accomodating.

The staff were exceptional as we had gone to visit a very poorly friend. Our plans changed yesterday and today hourly and we were allowed to stay in their carpark until we left just after 2 pm. Our friend is home from hospital but have not had chance to catch up but we enjoyed our time in Thirsk a beautiful place great for shopping

Our stay at the Golden Fleece was great! Easy check-in, lovely room. Food in the evening was great but we didn't have breakfast so can't comment. Easy walkable distance to James Herriot’s house. Parking very easy and felt secure! All in all very nice.

Safe parking at premises. Great welcome at reception. Cosy room with all amenities. Lovely bar/lounge with wide choice of teas, coffees, cakes - perfect for afternoon tea. Dinner menu excellent and imaginative and food perfectly cooked and beautifully presented in very comfortable dining room. The fire alarm went off at about 6pm and we were all evacuated to the muster point in the car park. Staff were very professional and efficient in directing us to fire escapes and checking that all guests were accounted for. It turned out to be a false alarm but I would praise the staff very highly for the way they handled it and looked after us so efficiently. We had a wonderful night’s stay at the Golden Fleece and would certainly go back again if we were in the area.

Great location, our room was massive, if i had to pick a fault, the shower cubicle could be a big bigger, theres wasnt much room to move in it. Certainly wouldnt stop us from returning though. Staff very friendly. Breakfast was delicious, plenty of chouce on the menu. Free secure parking at back of the hotel.

Very friendly and helpful staff, and the room was lovely. Wifi was not always reachable, didn’t work in the restaurant but then when I went up to room got on immediately. Prospective guests need to plan for hauling suitcases up stairs. (I had 39 steps to climb and many turns and fire doors to negotiate) and for VERY tight parking in the parking lot behind the hotel, but one can park for free in the public lot out front between 6pm and 8 am if the back fills up. Very convenient to Herriot museum and Tesco. Would stay there again.

The room was so small, but the heating and water pipes were burning hot, which made our room like a sauna. We made the reception aware before we went to evening meal with friends, but were told that they did not have another room available and that it should cool down. However, the heat stayed so hot in the room and was very uncomfortable. On arrival at reception in the hotel around 1430, we explained we had parked our car in a parking space at the front of the hotel, the receptionist just said ‘you will have a parking ticket by now’! She did highlight there is a car park at the back of the hotel and directions, but she carried on talking to explain how to get to our room etc, meanwhile my wife went outside to make sure we didn’t get a parking ticket! I found all the staff were unhelpful and not willing to help.

Golden Fleece overnighter

Room excellent, clean and tidy.
Breakfast this morning a bit disorganised, had to ask for coffee 3 times and toaster and bread removed before we had finished.
Quality of the good though was very good.

Lovely stay

The room was clean and well stocked, beautifully decorated and comfortable. However, it was very small. We had a bath in the bathroom which was lovely and the bathroom itself was sufficiently spacious.

The location in Thirsk was good for exploring Herriot life. Proprietors were helpful and very kind.

The sink was very plugged. You have to carry suitcases up many stairs, depending on your floor

Rooms were small but very well furnished and good value for money, very clean and the bed was comfy. Hotel is in a great location, especially for the races. Staff were very friendly.
There was no receptionist on our arrival, a note advised us to see the bar staff, but they were extremely busy, so this wasn't ideal.
