I love this hotel. It is probably my favorite hotel I've ever stayed in. I just love all the horse stuff. I loved that we stayed in the Roaring Lion room and got to read all about his history and have horse pictures on the wall. We loved what we saw of the grounds. We googled Roaring Lion and the poor boy died of cholic at age 4. We would like to see the other rooms as well. This hotel was wonderfully quiet. It was bliss to sleep through the night (compared to London). The staff were so nice and helpful. I recommend this hotel highly especially if you love horses.

Close to York and useful to have free parking. 40 minute walk into
York but easy to get buses in as well
as Ubers. Good breakfast and helpful staff and a later checkout of 11am is welcome (unlike 10am in other hotels). Always a pleasant stay.

Staff were really friendly and helpful. We stayed in the studio apartment, really nice and quiet.
Ideal location to the York parkrun and if you like walking, 30 minutes walk to the centre.
Definitely recommend 😊

booked a non‑smoking room, but there was a very unpleasant smell — a mix of cigarette smoke and stale air. It was strong enough to make the room feel unclean and uncomfortable.
the management acknowledged the smell only “slightly” and suggested it might be coming from an ashtray located somewhere nearby. As solution, I was offered some “air breeze”. I left.
Disappointing experience

Really lovely location and convenient with the park and ride only 5 minutes away or a 7-8 minute drive to the centre of York.
Rooms were clean and simple. Take a hairdryer as this is not provided. Could also do with a hook or 2 in the bathroom - 4 large towels on a small towel rail was a bit of a squeeze.
Breakfast is buffet style fry up plus toast, cereal and pastries. The cooked for was really delicious.

Great friendly hotel. Handy for local pubs (recommend The Cross Keys), the racecourse for parkrun (10 mins walk away from the start) and dog-walking.
Frequent bus service at the top of the drive.
Forget the budget chains - this is the one for us!

It was a bit noisey and my radiator which was turned off was knocking and woke me at 0500, which was frustrating.
It was what I expected for the money i paid

Nice room , ok breakfast. Most of staff friendly.
Room 3 can hear all noise from reception and staff banging doors throughout night , auto light flashes on and off in corridors shines through bottom of door.
Around £10 in uber to town centre.
Would we stay again.. yes but would ask not to have room 3 even though it is a nice clean room. Just too much noise from reception

Had two nights in a family room whilst visiting York, which can be easily accessed by car in minutes. The ground-floor room was clean, spacious and very well appointed, with a large TV and a small but perfectly formed bathroom boasting an array of hand-wash, shower gel, shampoo and separate conditioner! Breakfast was excellent, though options for evening dining were limited. That said, we enjoyed a couple of lovely meals at the nearby Cross Keys pub, where it was possible to reserve a table. Would most definitely consider Stableside at York Races again if visiting York by car.

The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean and tidy, the bed was comfy and warm as well. There was not a huge variety for breakfast; just cereals, toast and cooked breakfast options but was hearty and filling which set us up well for a day of walking around the city.

We found the automatic light in the bathroom a bit annoying at night when going for a pee as it stays on for a while.

We had some issues with our breakfast orders being received for the following day but the staff sorted this out on the day without any issues.

The location was good a 20-25 mins walk into the city, or on the no 4 bus route if you are not so energetic. The site was next to the stables of the racecourse which added some interest. There are a couple pubs very close by which gives good options for dinner, and a convenience store down the road for more light lunch/snack options.

Nothing to be wowed by here however it was, overall, a basic but comfortable stay for those who don't mind a bit of walking to the city.

The room smelt of damp, very noisy during the night from doors but also systems in the annexe like a boiler possibly? Someone had left the main building door open that I shut at 12am so security could be better in the annexe! Breakfast was ok. Alright for 1 night but very basic. Clean shared showers and toilets although
