Great staff but the food was awful. I had the burger and it was like chewing a rubber ball, no idea where the cheese was.

Great location in the town, room rates are comparable to other hotels. Bar is quite expensive (Guinness Zero £6.50) especially since there is a Wetherspoons a couple of doors away.

We come to Thirsk to visit for Sunday. We got the Roast Sandwich and it was awesome. The roast is so good and the gravy matched perfectly. This sandwich has the peculiarity to come in yorkshire puddings for bread. The only cons is that it is hard to eat yorkshire puddings as a sandwich, but beyond that it was delicious. The ambiance is super chill. Great place to be with your couples.

This was our dogs first stay anywhere except home and it was brilliant. Staff were friendly and warm, our dog even got her own breakfast sausage! The room was clean and bed really comfortable, bathroom was a really good size and had everything we needed. The barstaff knew what we were drinking and remembered us so drinks were ready when we approached the bar. The manager was really friendly a d suggested places to visit. All in all a lovely short break, we'd definitely recommend 👌

Our room was red hot even with the window open all day/night, it very small, barely room to walk around the bed which was massive. We know this is a coaching inn signature headboard but it just did not fit the room, the decor was also very tired. Fortunately it was only 1 night, don't think we could have stayed another night in that room.

I stayed here for Mother’s Day weekend (with my mini Daschund puppy) and to say the star can’t do enough for you is an absolute understatement! Every-time I stay, they go above and beyond. The rooms are exceptionally clean, with a good selection of tea/ coffee and milk (you only have to ask for more if you run out of anything) there are lovely toiletries for the shower room also! Breakfast selection is one of the best I’ve ever had (too much for me but I’m a small eater) and they even did a little fruit bowl for the dog. I return a few times a year because nothing is ever too much for the staff and they are alway so lovey and friendly

If a hotel bar is open, then it should be staffed, right? Not always the case at the Golden Fleece - they open it in the afternoon then leave customers to go and seek out the huffy receptionist to leave her post and come and get you a drink. Later, another woman did appear but, when I asked her what what vodkas were stocked, explained the gins. I'd have thought knowing the difference between vodka and gin is a pretty fundamental requirement for bar work.... The young lads who staff the bar later in the evening are spot on, but this hotel shows disdain for early drinkers. Breakfast was good overall - apart from the bacon which was hard and pretty much all fat. Mews rooms much nicer and quieter than the rooms in the main hotel building.

We had a delightful gime at the Golden Fleece Hotel and Restaurant in Thirsk. The charming atmosphere and warm hospitality made our visit truly memorable. The restaurant offered a delicious menu with a variety of options to suit all tastes. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring that our every need was met. Whether you're looking for a relaxing getaway or a great dining experience, the Golden Fleece is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

We were allocated a Mews room. Whilst the room was clean and nicely decorated it was tiny. Not enough room for a wardrobe and the bathroom was only just big enough for a cloakroom sink and that even crossed over with the toilet. The walls are paper thin and whilst I don't think the residents next to us were being particularly loud we could clearly hear ALL their evening activities. I wouldn't stay again and would advise anyone who does stay to not accept a Muse room. Another member of our team was allocated a room in the main hotel and whilst the room was more basic it was an acceptable size and no disturbances from fellow residents.

I stayed the hotel with my GF after a recommendation from a friend. The hotel is in a great location with free car parking to the rear of the hotel. The bar is also a big highlight that the hotel has to offer, with a large section of beers, local ales and wines with lots of comfortable areas to relax. The room we stayed in (room 23) was excellent! The bed was soooo comfortable with great extras like a DAB radio, Smart TV and a posh coffee machine. The breakfast was first class with everything on offer and to a high quality. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for somewhere to stay in this region.

The member of staff in charge remembered us, Louise I think if I’ve remembered properly, we had to cancel previously due to the weather but she welcomed us in which was a lovely touch.

The food was fantastic and portion size extremely generous. Prices were very reasonable also. All the staff were very chatty and helpful and they fell in love with our little dog Penelope. We could of happily stayed alot longer especially after I had tried the snow bomb cocktail. Shame we had to set off back to our holiday accommodation. 10/10. Thank you. Hope to return if ever in the area again.

Took my husband for his birthday. Got his main and dessert free, because it was his birthday (you have to prove it - we saved almost £40). Fish goujons was a bit underwhelming. Crab cakes looked great. Pork loin, and lamb duo was superb. No information was given about the cheeses on the cheese plate. Brilliant evening.

Great for a drink or four. Sunday roast is top notch with car parking at the rear and large public parking to the front and rear The Hotel is a historic inn located in the market town of Thirsk in North Yorkshire. It has a rich history, charming atmosphere, and traditional English character. The inn dates back several centuries and is said to be one of the oldest coaching inns in England. The Hotel is a popular destination for tourists looking to experience a bit of history.

We paid extra to stay in a premium deluxe double room (11) which was a complete waste of money as it looked nothing like the two rooms advertised at this level. In our opinion it was an okay room but definitely not Deluxe. The bathroom advertised at this level has a lovely free standing bath and ours was a very small cheap bath. I’ve attached photos to give an idea but sorry for the un-made bed! The breakfast was below average and as we were staying for three nights this was extremely disappointing. I don’t like eggs and there was nothing that didn’t have eggs as part of the main breakfast dish. I had an English breakfast everyday without eggs and very cheap sausages, bacon and black pudding full of fat. This area is renowned for its fish why not have kippers or smoked salmon and some lovely avocado toast. Our friend stayed in the annex which had a burn mark on the carpet and both of the bedside tables had no handles as they had been broken off. The main areas in the hotel were nicely decorated and maybe other rooms were better than ours but our room was average. It’s the only hotel in Thirsk and its main feature is its location but it’s definitely not 4 star.

A enjoyable experience overall. Visited one evening for a meal. Staff seated us on some very comfy chairs and told us which items were available (the lamb and steak were both off the menu which was unfortunate as we were planning to have them but it was late in the evening so it's expected that some items maybe sold out) We each settled for the chicken burger and I had the beef burger. Both very tasty and sizeable. The staff were attentive throughout the meal. The only issue came at the end of the meal. There were no staff present in the dining room for around 20 minutes, I wished to pay so had to walk around looking for a staff member but was unsuccessful. I went to the bar where one member of staff was training another younger person in cocktail making. Me and a couple of other customers stood there for around 10 minutes being ignored. I understand that training is being carried out but at least acknowledge me and say something. In the end, this didn't tarnish the experience too much, the meal was reasonably priced and overall we had a great time.

We have stayed here several times before, referred people and took friends with us on this occasion. Previously always had a good experience but on this occasion we were allocated room 7 which has got to be the smallest room we have ever been in. It literally is like a harry potter cupboard. On the last visit we had checked out behind a couple who were complaining about the size of their room which they had been in for quite a few days. We thought they were moaning minis but having now experienced this room there is no way we would have spent more than 1 night in it. The worst of it was also the sheer heat. It was so hot neither of us slept at all! They left a fan in the room and we opened the window as much as possible but the temp was no lower than 28• that was when it was raining outside as well. When advising of this it was said a) cant help the heat b) the room is what it is well a) you could install air conditioning or put mobile units in the rooms (although where it would fit in the harry potter cupboard) b) this room should not be charged at the same rate as the other rooms

It has been a group of us approx 16 people. The food has been tasteless, presented poorly and the service very slow...we have started at 7.20pm ish and received the main at 8.30pm even when we preordered! 2 of us have been missed of the menu. At the end the panna cotta had a strange taste, far too much gelatine, terrible texture, could not taste any of the described flavours. £30 for 2 course meal I have left the restaurant hungry and disappointed.

There are plenty of walks from the hotel if you like walking😊. A choice of pubs and places to eat . We didn’t eat dinner at the hotel but we did have breakfast . The breakfast’s were delicious!

This hotel has a rather old-fashioned feel to it - and I mean that very much as a compliment! Little jugs of milk, handmade butter pats, individual jars of sauces - so much better than the one-portion sachets that blight many a hotel table these days. Good range of drinks at the bar, a number of lounges you can choose to sit in and a really big commutable super king-size bed with walk-in shower. Breakfast one of the best we've had - piping hot and really tasty.

Visited as a large group whilst staying in Yorkshire. Booked a table with no issues. On arriving we had a drink at the bar and then were showed to our table. The environment was well styled and pleasant. Since we were a large group we had been asked to pre order starters and mains which was not a problem for us. The food arrived and was nicely presented with everyone’s order correct. I had opted for a Sunday lunch which was good quality unfortunately the only disappointment was the absence of crackling with my pork which was advertised on the menu. All the party was happy with the various starters, mains and desserts. We didn’t feel rushed, we had been told in advance that our booking was for an allocated length of time which for some may be off putting, however, our time was adequate. Parking is right outside for all of the shops including the pub and is paid. One large negative was the staff, other than one staff member who I found to be polite and friendly the others were brusque and seemed unhappy in their working environment to the point I felt a little uncomfortable interacting with them. This was a shame as it spoiled the overall experience.

Called in for lunch, but NEVER again. Ordered sandwiches, a round of chips and coffee. When it arrived there was very little filling, the bread was old and starting to go crisp with age. The round of chips at £3.95 was a total ripoff! 12 chips in a small container that were dry, and no doubt frozen ones! The coffee cups were just over half full, and for £3.75 i expected more. Plus the cups were very small. This has to be the worst place we’ve eaten, and was totally “fleeced” by the high prices. Utter disgrace.

We were having a three night stay here and ate in the restaurant on our first night. We weren’t ravenous so we each ordered two starters, rather than a starter and a main. First course for both of us was mushroom soup which we really enjoyed. However, the actual bowls were small so, obviously, the portion size was small which was disappointing and smacked of penny pinching; at more than £6, it wasn’t particularly cheap and I actually found eating from the small bowls to be off-putting. I did mention this to staff at the time, purely as constructive feedback and not as a complaint I followed with smoked chicken Caesar salad, which also came with anchovies as well as cheese (I chose not to have croutons), and it was delicious and full of flavour. A really decent portion size too! My friend had köfte kebabs with mint & cucumber dressing, along with toasted pitta bread and she thoroughly enjoyed that too. Ambience was good and service was very good too, despite the restaurant being busy. I’d love to give full marks but, unfortunately, the meal was slightly let down by the stingy soup serving.

We stayed in the Dick Turpin room where apparently he once stayed, a very cool room with everything we could need. All staff were amazing and helpful and constantly fussing our dog and feeding him treats. Few issues with food and drinks as they were...

Lovely staff, waited a while for order but that was fine because it was freshly cooked. Hubby had steak and I had Caesar salad both very tasty. Breakfast the next morning was super too, lovely sausage and black pud nicely presented. Would certainly recommend.

I wouldn't recommend going here for Afternoon Tea, especially if you are a vegetarian. A bit of salad and coleslaw was all that was offered in terms of sandwiches. The scone and cream was nice but overall a very disappointing afternoon tea which had been...

Due to looking for somewhere to eat. We decided to try the golden fleece. They was a lady adjusting the menu notice board outside. I didn't think to look at the menu first. I just asked if it was booking or walk ins also. She kindly invited us in. We had to follow to covid institutions before taken to a table. We was given a menu. I looked at the menu and obviously the price of meals. My friend was paying who said don't worry about the cost. So I didn't think about it. However if I was paying I wouldn't of stayed. I just thought it better be worth it. A waiter came to take our drinks order while we still decided what to have. I decided to have fish chips and mushy peas. After awhile waiting our meals arrived. I have to say you got a good plate full. The fish and chips was ok. Although I've had better at cheaper restaurants. I would call again, for drinks only. Just for the fact the meals are over priced.

I popped in the other day for a mid morning hot drink and was not disappointed. The ladies on the reception desk were very helpful and I was taken to a beautiful lounge area with lovely decor. I was served very promptly and ordered a hot chocolate with toppings. It was really delicious. I would love to come back some time to eat here to sample more of the menu

Ate here for lunch and also breakfast the following day. Everything that we ate was delicious, the portion sizes were great and the service was amazing. The food was cooked incredibly well and tasted like great quality ingredients. We found the prices very reasonable, and the atmosphere and environment was great. Thanks a lot!

We both chose the Crab Tian to start with. This was followed by a mouth watering Steak for my partner and Roast Duck for myself. All the accompaniments were cooked and presented to the highest standards. All of this was accompanied by a wonderful rich and warming Rioja. We finished off with a cheese board. The evening was only enhanced by Jodie and Andrea, our hosts in the restaurant. They were both attentive, engaging and knowledgeable about the offer without being over-bearing. The ladies turned a memorable meal into a perfect evening. Well done to all the staff, we will be returning soon.

Fantastic hotel. Great service, brilliant staff and very Covid safe.Brilliant location . Thirsk old market town is lovely. James Herriot museum is 5 minute stroll from the hotel. Thirsk has the best dog friendly cafe that I have ever been to called Bliss. Thirsk is so close to lots of interesting places. The hotel is dog friendly too.

This was a superb pub for drinking, located conveniently across from the train station for a quick stop! The block across the ceiling adds a nice feel covered by placemats and counter is well-presented, staff were friendly too. I had a refreshing pint of Red Stripe at comfortable seating, appreciating the old school character of this pub!

We had a 90th Birthday Party here and it was amazing, great food and great function room able to hold 40+ people, with plenty of room. Felt very welcome and a lovely pub. Really recommended for any events or party’s great value for food as well. Thank you Pearl and Dougie.

No issues with coffee or food but the seating areas are really dirty. Under chairs, sofas and the window area are deep in dust, build up of general grime and dog hairs. This hasn't accumulated in a short period. The entrance is filthy and shabby, not what you expect from Cafe Nero. The toilet was also quite dirty., the back of the seat, ha d rails, paper holder had accumulation of dust and the toilet brush and container so filthy noone would consider using it. I feel so sorry to hsve to post this about my favourite coffee company. They'll be pleased I'm not their local Hygiene Inspector as they e getting a 5 on cleanliness.
