The Parsonage Hotel & Spa in Selby

Spa and hotel wonderful. So called "Gastro pub" crap. Description of food doesn't match the quality or lack thereof leaving the kitchen. Shame as it has potential. Breakfast was ok. Food basic but never seen such a chaotic service. Two ladies stood around not doing anything or directing anyone. Again a lost opportunity. I got the feeling they couldn't be bothered. Completely at odds with the restaurant staff who were very nice

Nice clean and helpful staff hotel/spar located in a nice spot 👍

Really nice room on the ground floor. Lovely and warm on a freezing night. The spa is adjacent as is the bar restaurant. I had the homemade mushroom and tarragon soup and it was very nice.

We enjoyed the hotel and spa which were both good and the staff and service were excellent. The full breakfast is one of the best I have had at a hotel. The experience was let down, however, by The Fat Abbot which describes itself as a "gastro" pub, presumably so they can inflate the prices. The menu options are limited, even by pub standards. My wife had the fish and chips which was very good. My steak, however, looked insipid and tasted bland - I didn't finish it. Service was excellent.

Absolute perfection! Been here a few hours and already want to leave a review of it so far. Room perfect, The Fat Abbot perfect! The team all excellent. Not like us but the spa was so relaxing from the moment we stepped in we fell asleep in no time, and that is a first so spot on!!

Excellent spa accommodation.rooms are large and clean great breakfast.

Nice hotel, interesting architecture, lovely grounds. Breakfast was very good, spa relaxing and food at the gastro pub was good.

Just what you need for a relaxing break. Suprise night away with Spa treatment from husband. The hotel is impressive at first sight and has 6 acres . It also has a gastro pub , spa facilities, and a beautiful church.The room was warm and cosy, not modern but clean, and had everything we required. The gentleman checking us in was lovely and really helpful even when we couldn't recall our car registration( senior moment). All staff friendly . Ate at the Fat Abbott, which was nice. Food is warm and tasty. There was a wedding on both days that looked lovely. Breakfast was good. there were plenty of cooked items and all hot. The Spa staff were very friendly and informative. The site was lovely and clean. Facilities were great. Steam room, aromotherapy room, sauna , jacuzzi, and swimming pool. Our treatment was for couples, and we were informed about the treatment. This was the most relaxing treatment we have had . So thank you, Sylvia and her colleague, for this experience. We will be back. Highly recommend the Parsonage and the Spa.

Hotel it's self was fantastic, staff very helpful and friendly however we stayed in the enhanced room and it was very dated, wallpaper falling off ceiling etc, the bathroom was the only modern part of the room and the Jacuzzi bath was amazing after a day walking round York. The spa was brilliant with 4 different rooms steam room, sauna, salt room and aromatherapy room Jacuzzi nice and big and very warm, pool however felt freezing after being in the Jacuzzi. Would stay again but wouldn't pay for the upgraded room.

We recommend staying at this hotel, it is very clean and pleasant, you can relax in the SPA and eat a delicious breakfast ☺️

Lovely staff always ready to help you

We've been here before and enjoyed ourselves, but on this occasion, the tiredness around the spa pool area was obvious. the floor around the pool, green stains on the floor, and everything in the spa area looked tired and ready for updating. Only one working toilet for the ladies and no light in the shower i used. Won't be going back unless major changes.

Amazing spa lovely staff and so relaxing

Great hotel. Spa has good facilities. A pool,a jacuzzi, a steam room, a sauna, aromatherapy steam room and a salt inhalation room. Staff super. Treatment was lovely. Rooms comfortable food in fat abbot tasty and plenty of it and well worth the money. Breakfast was good. Overall very nice quiet relaxing place.

My wife and I were visiting from the US and originally planned to stay in York. However, upon arrival, we found most rooms to be booked out. We found The Parsonage and booked a room for 2 nights. We were above the pub, which shuts down no later than 11pm on the weekend, so no noise. The room was older, but we found it to be nice. It was exactly what we needed. Maybe a touch over priced, but we found it to be clean. Breakfast was excellent. The pub food is also very good. The grounds are also great. It is a short drive into York or you can also ride the bus that runs straight into the city.

The room felt cold but it did warm up eventually. The staff were lovely, the food at the Fat Abbot certainly wasn't "gastro", smallest prawns, more like shrimps and dry chicken with quarter of a bag of rocket salad and Frozen French fries!!! The Spa was lovely, mixed experience.

The building is beautiful, you can see a lot of the original structure and history, even the original plans are displayed. It is glorious in its original beauty. The staff were kind and polite and the food was delicious. The room was just the right temperature as you would expect with original windows. A really comfy nights sleep and with great facilites and beautiful garden surroundings this is a lovely hotel. I’d definitely come back 🤩😊

A beautiful venue back from the roads. The spa facilities were lovely and staff were welcoming and kind. The attached pub also served a lovely Sunday roast lunch. I'm hoping to return again

Sadly, this hotel falls very short of the advertised 4 star rating. If you have a cat, you like to swing around, don't take it with you. Seriously though the staff were first rate but the hotel is very tired and in need of sympathetic refurbishment. A beautiful building spoilt by lack of investment.
