How can they call that a four star Hotel. Its was a very hot day when we checked it , No air condition, and when we arrived in the room it was like an oven, They did not have the curtesy to open a window to try and cool down the room before we arrived. and we were given a small fan which all that did was circulate the hot air around the room, Checked the fan and the pat testing sticker was a year out of date. Sitting watching the tv and all the power went off. They spent half an hour trying to get the power back on. Went to use the sink in the bathroom and it took fifteen minutes for the hot water to arrive. The sink waste took five minutes to empty, In the morning went to have breakfast and that turned into a hassle got so fed up with it we left and found another restaurant and had breakfast. Never again.

Spa and facilities were very nice, spacious steam and sauna etc. Breakfast was good. The room we stayed in ( annexe) was tired looking and basic, no walk in shower and the extractor fan didn’t work. Walls very thin and could hear the conversations of people in next room. Bed sheets looked clean but then discovered some stains on them . So we used other bed sheets. After staying in other parts of this hotel previously we were disappointed with the rooms in the annexe part

Enjoyed the stay but it was noisy trying to get to sleep in the cottage room and I’m curious as to why there were only 9 loungers in the spa but there are 60 bedrooms ? I had to sit on a chair .. not really the spa experience I was looking for.
Also another gripe of mine is no full length mirrors in bedrooms ? And no table near a mirror to sit and dry hair and do makeup ? It’s the little things that make all the difference.

Set in stunning grounds I wasn’t sure what to expect from the interior. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The spa is very nice the changing rooms were adequate you need £1 coin for the locker but the pool and treatment rooms were very nice. The sun loungers were a little tired and worn and they are very close to the ground so getting in and off them can be somewhat tricky. Very pleasantly surprised by the food in the restaurant, very good and staff in all areas were friendly and engaging.

The spa was wonderful but the main pool a bit cool for me, my husband enjoyed it though.

We had dinner at the Fat Abbott and it was gorgeous! Staff were wonderful.

Slept very well, bathroom could do have been a little cleaner and the rooms lovely for a standard but could do with a little update in my opinion.

Facilities were super (decent hair dryer and shower gel).

Breakfast was spot on.

Loved it, we only live down the road so will be back 😊

Staff were lovely, a number of cobwebs in our room. It would’ve took no more than 10 minutes with a hose of a hoover nozzle to have got them off the ceiling and in the corners of the room, when we push the two single beds together there was also dirt underneath the beds other than that the room was of a reasonably high standard of cleanliness. The bathroom was fine outside areas needed some attention doors to be painted woodwork chipped some windows showing signs of decay. It was also autumn so to be fair the grounds were covered in leaves and there was quite a bit of green moss about. Parts are tired.

My husband and I come here every year. We love the spa and the food. The staff are very friendly. But this year i think we stopped in the worst room as it was so small. There werent any drawers to put your small things, t-shirts etc in, there was no room in the bathroom for your toiletries and even the bed felt smaller. The mirror in the room to do your hair and makeup was behind the tv and you couldn't use the one in the bathroom as there was no light near it so was a bit dark! Overall we enjoyed our stay but the room let it down a bit

Second visit here. This time we were given a room in the fat Abbot onsite. The room was small, bathroom door didn’t open fully as it hit the bed, the walls were really dusty with large handing bundles of cobwebs and when my hubby went to turn the tv on discovered there was no aerial as someone had snapped the connection off the back. The bed runner had stains and tbh really put us off. Definitely won’t rush back here. Clearly no care or pride is taken when cleaning the rooms . The spa is nice onsite and has decent facilities

Steam rioms, sauna and aromatherapy rooms wonderful.
Jacuzzi, warm but the hydro beds were not working.
Gym well equipped but old weight machines.
Staff were excellent, welcoming, accommodating and friendly.
Parking is excellent.
Room was spacious, lean and tidy however, the ironing board and iron do need replacing as stained quite badly so unuseable.
Easy to get into York as a bus stops almost outside and is only £2.50 single, takes approximately 20 minutes.
Overall an amazing stay, well worth the money and their pub next door does amazing food.
Cant wait to return.

Beautiful hotel. We had a room ìn The Coach House. It was clean and updated. The staff were all great. Breakfast was lovely.
The only thing which lets the hotel down is they dont serve lunch and dinner. The Fat Abbot pub is in the grounds of the hotel. The quality of the food in the pub is good but the menu is pretty basic and doesn't change.
We didnt use the pool and spa but it looked lovely. We would definitely go there again.

Excellent stay!

I brought my girlfriend here for a long weekend stay for her birthday, from start to finish it was a lovely stay, our room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, breakfast was extremely good with plenty of options, staff are all very friendly and helpful. Very close to york itself and found it easier to just Uber in rather than drive. The fat abbot was nice, didnt have food there but had a few drinks, reasonably priced, friendly, warm and welcoming.
Access to the spa including pool, aromatherapy room, sauna, steam room and salt inhalation room was fantastic and the gym looked great (although not used by myself!).
Overall our stay was great and id love to book another stay again in the future! Thank you!

Another weekend away at The Parsonage

Clean and very comfortable room..the bed was very comfy, could do with a few more milks as not enough for 2 people or could do with a small fridge.
The food in the restaurant was excellent as always, the staff were very welcoming and efficient.
The bar and outside seating is comfortable.
The reception was quick and informative.
Plenty of parking and a bus stop right outside for a trip to York.
Lovely grounds, well maintained .
The spa is a lovely place to relax..
This is our 5th time here, this time to celebrate my birthday and i absolutely love this place , i can't really fault it at all..
I would like to thank all the staff, including the ones behind the scenes, who make this hotel what it is..

A very welcoming hotel, with caring and pleasant staff who were always ready to help. Food was very good with a great choice and efficient service.
Sorry about no photographs but we stopped taking them once we became old and ugly!

Spa facilities and breakfast were great. Beds, pillows were terribly hard and the pillows were also flat. They advertise that Elemis products are in the rooms, well yes, a hair/body wash and a small little lotion.
I booked this property as it was my dad's 70th birthday and I wanted to gift him a treatment which was canceled on his birthday and rebooked on the day we were leaving to drive home. He had the treatment but couldn't relax and enjoy the benefits as he had to immediately get in a car to drive.

Disappointed, not as expected

Disappointed with the dated room which wasn'tin the main hotel and quite a walk from the main car park, especially with luggage. Ground floor room with a wide window that everyone looked through as they gained entry to the building, so no privacy. The room itself was very dark and dated. Old fashioned windows which didn't close properly, wardrobes and drawers that had an awful smell. Hairs on the bathroom floor.
Door hanger left out for room to be serviced but it wasn't so no fresh towels or drinks tray replenished.
Breakfast was ok but bacon extremely tough and over cooked.

Great Hotel and pool let down by spa and Fat Abbot

Hotel was excellent. Staff were great would recommend the Hotel and would stay there again. However booked a 1hr session at the spar which was cancelled by the spar only 2 hours before the due time, offered the next day but for only 1/2 hour and not the treatment required so declined.The pool and jucosy were however excellent
The Fat Abbot pub?? Booked a meal at the resteraunt got a pub meal in the pub poor service and not Gastro food. Believe that the resteraunt had been taken over by a coach party that had arrived that afternoon.
Worst of all on departure was given an invoice which indicated we had payed considerably more for the room to Hotel.com than if we had booked direct. Still waiting for an explanation about that.

Large twin room, but so hot even with window open all night. There was a fan but not much difference. Large bathroom but with a step up shower cubical quite small and could do with updating . Was very disappointed when we tried to book a table for two in The Fat Abbot restaurant that is on site and was told that no tables available due to a large group. When I said we were guests of the hotel and did they not have reservations for guests we were told only if half board was booked. There was a Thai restaurant a very short walk away, the only other eating establishment in the area, and the food in there was superb, so we probably had a better experience there. The spa was very clean and very kept, didn’t like the fact that you were expected to pay for the hire of a towel and if you wanted to use a robe and slippers it was £10 . Breakfast was fresh and tasty.

Lovely old hotel with fabulous gardens to the rear- so peaceful. Garden benches needed cleaning.
Rooms small but comfy. Bathroom very tired, bath enamel peeling.
Full breakfast was excellent. No restaurant, a small pub on site but books up very quickly. Excellent Thai restaurant 5mins walk.
Lots of shady parking.
Spa/ pool popular, in front of the pub: The Fat Abbot.
Buses into York ( approx 50mins) every 1/2hr 5mins walk from hotel.

Lovely hotel with Spa

Lovely hotel in beautiful setting. Staff friendly and helpful. Spa was lovely. Negative was lack of sockets in room near bed and having a ground floor room there was no option for leaving a window open so room was quite warm. I would love to stay here again but would ask for a higher floor room.

3rd stay here, room has always been comfortable. This time we were in Room 6 above the Reception area. The room had been renovated to a good standard, however the Windows need serious attention - 2 large gaps under the bottom & the hinge had pulled off one side. Thankfully this was in June as we can imagine if a strong cold wind was blowing it would be very draughty - at least!
Breakfast was excellent, the Fat Abbott Pub menu needs an update though, choices very limited. On each of the 3 occasions we have visited they had 'run out' of at least one item on the Menu.

A pleasant experience for my 1 night stay. The service, the comfort, the food were all on point with little to criticise. A perfect spot if you are visiting York or nearby towns by vehicle as there was ample parking available on-site that is in close proximity to the living lodges.

The check-in and check-out process were seamless and efficient. What I felt was extra memorable was the meal at the hotel's pub restaurant which slightly exceeded my expectations. The lamb pie in particular was rather engaging as when I had cut into the pie, a perfume of that inviting gamey aroma gives that immediate expression of rustic nostalgia. The tender well cooked meat that is seasoned thoughtfully did not disappoint the beautiful aroma that had set the scene. Overall it was a pleasant meal that was fulfilling, well-valued and felt authentic. The breakfast was adequate but definitely paled in energy relatively. However, the service throughout my stay was exceptional, where staff was both professional and welcoming, which greatly enhanced my overall experience and I greatly appreciates.

Lovely hotel. Spa is modern and very enjoyable. The bedroom needs a little updating. Finishing touches seem not complete. Eg. Bath panel old and showerhead rail faulty.
Overall, a pleasant stay.

Dissapointing room

Stayed at the hotel numerous times before due to getting married at the venue and returning on our anniversary.Great that you get to use the spa facilities and choice of food options on sight. This time however our room was above the Fat Abbot pub on property. Our room was above the pub toilet with the hand drier going off, music from downstairs heard in our room until 10.50pm due to speaker in the toilet ceiling. 2x holes in the room floor, room needed repainting, skylight had been leaking at some point due to brown water marks and rather dusty. We felt like the hotel had over booked and we were given an inadequate room. We were very disappointed with our stay this time.
