This was our second stay at the Old Oak Tree. Just as previously, everything was super. There were no negatives at all for us to mention. We had the same room again (the rooms are part of an external annex, only 10 yards or so from the main premises and all part of the Hotel site). Our room was spacious and very tasteful. Curtains and venetian blinds for privacy, large bed, nicely carpeted, a good-sized mirror over a dressing table / chair with sockets very close (very useful), nice lighting with wall switches next to bed, nice spotlessly clean bath / shower combo, good hot towel rail, a good hospitality tray, a fridge with complimentary bottled water, a very comfy two-seater couch (you rarely get a chair, let alone a couch in many places so this was a nice touch), writing desk and chair near TV and alarm clock. Another bonus was the high ceiling with a "Velux" type of overhead window which was operated to open/close privacy blind using a small remote control. Once again we had evening dinner pub itself. We booked a table before we arrived and this is advisable. The food was excellent and so it can become busy (deservedly so in our opinion). The main dinner menu has lots of choices but also there’s a very tempting specials board. A good choice of beer and other drinks, so we indulged and enjoyed. Breakfast was very nice with a good choice and we went for the cereals and full English with toast and very good tea and coffee. Again, as last time, we made very welcome on arrival and that the service from all of the staff was very friendly, attentive, courteous and very professional. Nothing was any trouble and we could not have asked for better guest care. 10 points again and well deserved.

The welcome was great, which started a good experience. I arrived in the dark and when I went into the bar to check I was in the right place (which was actually very easy to find), one of the young ladies showed me to the car park and the location of the room. So the check-in was perfect. Despite my late arrival there was enthusiasm to see me fed and the full menu was offered. There were some very good "specials" on the board which were sold out (a reflection of the level of custom the business has and deserves) but there were no restrictions on what I could choose from. My dinner was delivered to my table, hot and delicious. The breakfast the next morning repeated the experience, with the choices being excellent and what I ordered arrived quickly and freshly made. The room was a small suite with all the facilities I would expect. It was clean, quiet, cosy and very comfortable.

This is doesn't really deserve to be "What I didn't like" but something I would think is positive honest feedback. The room could do with a new shower head.

The Old Oak Tree was an ideal stopping off point between Shetland and the New Forest. Very handy for access from A1 or A19, and minutes from the centre of Thirsk. We were warmly welcomed (like old friends) and were delighted with our accommodation. We decided to dine in the pub, and were mightily impressed by the number of diners and the quality of the food. After a blissful night’s sleep breakfast was a delicious as dinner the evening before. We returned in the evening for our second night, when we were joined by two friends for dinner. There were a few hiccups over ordering welcome drinks for our guests but just minor inconveniences rather than a hassle. Another gorgeous meal and a sleep in slumberland affirmed that in the Old Oak Tree we had discovered a gem of a place to stay! It was a big plus that our dogs were welcomed too.

Things I’d improve? If welcoming dogs, perhaps provide an area of the extensive garden were dogs could be safely exercised off lead without risk of them running up to the road. Also, over-bath showers are a perilous hazard for anyone with a mobility disability, even with a non-slip rubber mat …. just saying!

Stunning. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was 1 of 5 rooms in a converted barn. A beautiful space, everything you could want and more. Super clean, spacious, comfortable, beautifully decorated and well laid out. Even a fridge is included. A great menu and the food was exceptional. In this cosy family run establishment. Located in a great area for getting out in the glorious Yorkshire countryside, and Thirsk, home of the James Herriot World. Can't recommend The Old Oak Tree enough if you want a great night's stay.

Everything was great.

The rooms are in a separate building from the main pub which I liked. The room was comfortable and large with a good bathroom. Hot drink making facilities and a fridge provided. The location is pretty good if you are travelling by car (which I was) as the location is about a couple of minutes from the A19 junction at the North end of Thirsk. Also only about 10 to 15 minutes by car to Sutton Bank and into the North Yorkshire Moors. Travelling by train would be much more difficult. Whilst there is a station at Thirsk it is out of town in completely the opposite direction maybe three miles away. Breakfast was fried up on demand rather than microwaved so that is a definite plus.

This isn't a dislike so much as a FYI: I noticed a flier in the room that said that air conditioning was available at an additional charge of £5 per night due to energy costs. As early June 2024 still felt like winter it didn't affect me.

The rooms were very well equipped with everything you could need. There was a huge walk in shower. The room was extremely clean and comfortable. The restaurant served a good breakfast and the evening menu was also excellent, the owners were very hospitable and the waiting staff were friendly and efficient. Outside to the rear there is a huge terraced patio facing lawns and trees there is also room in the ample sized car park for camper vans.

We had stayed before, so knew what to expect. The facilities are very good and rooms are spacious. The hotel is excellently situated near major roads, but still quiet. The restaurant is very good (and popular), the menu is large and the chef is great. We were travelling through from Scotland and broke our journey here for one night, but know from previous experience that the locality has many things of interest.

Maybe a hand rail over the bath for the shower, but it was not a problem. Everything else was great. I cannot fault anything else.

Excellent all round. Well run establishment with friendly and efficient staff. Very busy on both nights but the food was fantastic and all the staff worked hard to make the whole experience enjoyable. The room was clean and modern with good facilities including tea, coffee, etc., a fridge, iron and ironing board, hairdryer and straighteners and a large bathroom with a powerful shower. Breakfast was also lovely with a good selection. There is also a large outdoor area with tables which was great for enjoying a drink in the sun.

Everything: the room is very Spacious, clean, has the services you need, there is different options for breakfast, the make it for you, they were very cordial and helpful, they are extremely helpful and friendly, she book a taxi for me twice, and on the way we got lost, they help us to figure things out and due to the delay, they left everything prepared for us. If I will come back one day, definitely, I will stay at the same place

Friendly staff. Breakfast well cooked and plentiful. Location perfect with plenty of free parking. Rooms very large and well stocked. Liked having a sofa so don't have to sit on bed. Love the Mouseman furniture. Having a fridge in room is helpful. Very easy check in process.

The mattress was a bit too firm for me so I had a disturbed sleep (but understand it is a personal taste). Nothing against the property but a heads-up to those staying that bin men come early and it is right outside the rooms.
