The hotel is lovely and just what we were looking for that weekend - tranquility. The place is spotless , it’s really clean and tidy. The stuff is very friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable. We stayed in the main building in a classic room with a garden view. The only downside was the food in the main restaurant (The Elements). Breakfast choice and set up wasn’t the best and quite expensive. Dinner at the Elements was also somewhat disappointing. Our favourite place was the bar and its outside area. The atmosphere there was amazing. Overall I’d still definitely come back to this place and would recommend it. It’s beautiful.

Incredible period style property located nicely outside of York in the village of Aldwark. Beautifully set within an estate with golf course, surrounded by countryside .. the perfect retreat The ornate features and grand corridors made it feel very luxurious . The double delux room we stayed in was fantastic . It was spacious , very grand and ideal for our stay .

The only negatives would be that the pillows were quite hard and the room was incredibly warm with little options to counteract the warmth other than to open the windows , which were limited , I imagine for safety reasons Disappointed breakfast wasn’t included in the price I paid for the room We also dined in the Elements restaurant, which was lovely but sadly only one veggie option on the menu .. maybe the menu could be revised to cater for vegetarians ? ..

I loved the interesting decoration of the hotel space , lovely winidng stairwell , and the beautiful archway with flowers of elements bar , the rooms were beautiful with lovely panelling woodern doors and funky stylish mirrors , the theme of churchill was superb , I shook churchills hand at the doorway near reception what a fabulous hotel , staff were lovely and informative very helpful , I loved the shards of food with olives I had for my starter was amazing the taste of the olives each meal was cooked great loved the chips we had and fish perfectly cooked food for our meal.

I didn't like having to go home from the hotel as it was superb place local to york a short drive.

We visited over the weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary, on arrival the staff wished us happy anniversary and on entering our room, a anniversary card and chocolates awaited. This was a lovely thought. The room were spotless, lovely view of the gardens, staff were very professional in their roles. Food were outstanding. Breakfast were also very good, well worth the money. I would highly recommend and we will certainly return

There is nothing to dislike

The hotel is beautiful and in a great location we were staying in a room within the bunkers building. All was well until we turned the lights off at which point we realised there was a green light directly above the bed. Also when the people in the next room used the bathroom we heard everything very clearly there seemed to be zero noise insulation at all. We managed to get to sleep but then at 3am some fellow guests arrived and had a conversation directly outside our door then proceeded to their rooms causing considerable noise from toilets flushing water running etc. I expected better if I am honest we left feeling as if we had no rest at all. I look forward to hearing from you in relation to this.

A stunning hotel in beautiful grounds. All the staff were so friendly and the service was exceptional. We actually decided to stay an extra night and though our room wasn't available for an extra night we got another one and they made sure we didn't have to wait long between checking out of the original room to the new one. The new one was completely different from the previous one but was absolutely stunning. The hotel have spared no money in the luxurious decoration and furniture in the bedrooms and throughout the hotel. We will definitely stay here again and next time my husband will make use of the golf course which is lovely.

The building itself had recently undergone a major renovation, so everything was new. A beautiful victorian manor, the renovations have maintained the charm of the place while providing modern amenities. Very well done. The staff were great - extremely polite and helpful, we lost our luggage en-route and the staff helped us to recover it. I think they went the extra mile. Breakfast (full English) was cooked to order and very tasty - proper bacon and sausage, also very good selection of bread, spreads etc. The dining room and bar areas very well designed, retaining the We also went for a walk around the grounds, over a bridge and down the river, about 1 hours walk - very nice, everything well maintained. Also the location was excellent - rural but only 25 mins drive to York centre.

There was nothing we didn't like. The gym/spa facilities were undergoing renovation, but it did not impact our stay as we did not intend to use them. Also this was made clear when we booked.

All staff were so friendly, every single member of staff we came across directly or indirectly spoke to us. The setting is stunning and the building is beautiful. Having visited the area multiple times as I was pleased to finally stay at the Manor and at such a fantastic room rate. The interior oozes style and comfort. You can tell the property has had massive investment.

For the price I paid I can’t complain, but if I’d paid the full rack rate (nearly 2.5 times what I paid), then I’d expect a fridge in my room and a shelf/rack in the shower for toiletries. Sadly toiletries had to go on the shower floor.

The room was absolutely amazing. We stayed in the junior suite which was much bigger than expected. The bed was huge and so comfy, the bathroom was beautiful with Molten Brown products, bath robes and slippers and there was even a full sized Christmas tree in the room! It was far beyond what I expected it to be and great value for money. I've stayed in hotel rooms a third of the size that cost much more. The staff were lovely and the breakfast was really nice too. The setting was lovely and so peaceful. I would recommend a stay here to anybody and will definitely be returning again at some point.

There was nothing that I didn't like. It was a perfect stay.

Stunning location and building with lovely grounds. Room (junior suite) was absolutely lovely and bathroom out of this world. Fridge in room and coffee pod machine a bonus and room service food and drink excellent. Bed very comfy, staff very friendly etc Hard to find a fault. Highly recommend

Only minor quibble is that i find £10 tray supplement for each room service food orders a little excessive. So if, like me, you want dinner and brekkie to your room then you’ll pay £20 just so someone takes it in a lift and knocks on your door. Bit steep i think. £5 is reasonable.
