This is a great, no-nonsense place with friendly staff and crisp, clean white linen. The breakfast was outstanding - the best we had during our stay in the UK. It is highly commendable. Good pub for lunch or dinner just across the street and a bus stop a few yards up the road taking you right to the town centre. We will stay here again, if in town.

A bit more storage space in the showers will be great - if even an extra hook behind the door or shelf for one's clothing. Only one hook for a towel makes it unnecessary uncomfortable. Also, a small bedside shelf/folding table might be a great idea. For the rest, it is only accolades.

The cleanliness of the room and hotel in general, looks like it’s new as it even smelt clean. The friendly atmosphere of the reception staff. The fact that my son could go and get a hot chocolate anytime he liked

Unfortunately the coffee machine could do with changing as all the coffee tasted the same and was way too strong. The breakfast selection could do with looking at, for example the chocolate and jams could do with being in individual sachets instead of in a jar which anyone kept dipping their own cutlery in. And it would be nice if there was a better selection in regards to the following, scrambled egg, black pudding, normal tomatoes ( not tinned)

Bed was comfortable, bathroom was clean and modern, soap/ body wash included. Location was good, can walk to city centre in about 25 minutes, also catch a local bus just outside on main road less than 10 min ride, or if you get a city sightseeing bus tour there a stop less than 10 min walk. Free parking at hotel.

The shower was not easy to work out at all, it was either boiling hot one way or scalding hot the other way, really had to force it to get to a decent temperature after ages of trying to work out, very dangerous how hot it was let alone with children going in shower in their own. The bunk beds are practical being able to lock away when not in use but it does not suit the room at all, looks very out of place in the nice room (needs repainting or new permanent beds put in as room is big enough anyway) Also breakfast was nice and fresh (first ones in there) but everything was cold.

The staff were amazing, very helpful, and chatty. It was a great atmosphere. Breakfast was delicious, so much choice. We got a bus in to the city centre, so easy. It's a very central location for families or couples, lots to explore, we were even allowed to walk around the stable yard which my wife loved. The room was clean and tidy and plenty of space for us (family of 3). Shower was very hot which again we loved as many hotels we've stayed in only run luke warm water. All in all it was a fantastic getaway and we will be definitely staying again.

Probably say and it's really just very small- the room was a little cold, however we managed to crank up the heating and it was lovely and warm for the remainder of our stay 😀

Good location. Peaceful grounds outside. Friendly staff. Comfy bed and a good size. Good heater. Window opened nice and wide with grass outside (ground floor). Very clean. Good shower and nice soaps/hand location. Nice side mugs! Everything we needed for our short stay. Being able to bring our dogs was great too.

The TV was at a strange angle and not great for watching. Sound proofing not amazing in terms of people walking by outside but it really wasn’t a problem. Smelt of horses or drains (?)in the bathroom but again it wasn’t really a problem as it wasn’t that strong just noted that there was a smell. Definitely not a deal breaker.

The location was great. All the staff were fantastic, I felt welcomed, cared for and informed.

So I think this might honestly be a me thing. I booked a room in the annex with shared bathroom but it was not what I was expecting. The person in the room next door had the TV on really loud. Had a hacking cough and sounded like they were washing up in the sink. The bathroom was shared between 10 or more rooms, and there was no separation of men v women, which, if I'm honest, I kind of expected. Like I say, my issue, but I did feel unsafe as a single female. However, I asked for an upgrade to a room with a private bathroom, and it was handled nicely and was easy. Yes, I paid a bit more, but rightly so as it was a much bigger room. I can't thank the lady on reception enough she was soo lovely.

The staff taff were amazing. Very welcoming, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Location was good, a lovely 30 minute walk into York, although you could easily catch the bus if you didn't fancy walking or driving. Ample free parking. Bathroom clean with plenty of hot water.

Although the beds were reasonably comfy, they could do with updating and one had a big stain that was visible on the base. Some of the towels were stained which made them feel unclean. Broken blind which we couldn't open.

We really enjoyed our stay at stableside, it met our expectations in every way. The reviews were very positive, and true to what we experienced too. The staff were friendly, chatty and attentive. Breakfast was tasty with a wide range to choose from. On site free parking is an absolute bonus and unusual for York. A few snacks/drinks are available to buy from reception. The accommodation is about 2.5 miles from town, but is along a bus route. We drove into town but given the price of parking it would probably have been more sensible to have got the bus, or even the park and ride which is nearby too. Very close by there are 2 lovely pubs, we ate at the Cross keys and would recommend. There is also a chippy and Chinese takeaway opposite the entrance. The Chinese was closed during our stay but we had a chippy one night and it was nice/reasonably priced. There is a Tesco extra about a 2 mins drive too for any bits you might need. For those travelling with little ones, we had my 12 month old with us, stableside provided a cot which was helpful. The breakfast room also had highchairs, and staff were helpful with warming food up for him. Stableside allow dogs too for a small fee, which is hard to comeby sometimes. Although we were not travelling with our dogs this time, its nice to know they're welcome and did see a few dogs during our stay. For any keen runners, this is a fantastic location to stay for York parkrun! It is a 5/10 min walk from the start line which is the next street over (holiday Inn Road), there is no direct access to the start point from stableside. The accommodation is quirky in the sense that it is actually a stable yard too (no horses there during our stay unfortunately). In summary, we loved our stay. It is not 'luxury' but it is everything you need it to be done well. A simple clean room, with fresh linen and a clean modern en suite. Thanks for having us, we'll be back!

Nothing really, we were really pleased with our stay. The only thing worth noting is that cleaning/fresh towels/tea&coffees etc are not automatically done, but can be changed as often as you like when you ask.

Great staff, friendly, welcoming and nothing too much trouble. Stable studio was fantastic, plenty of room for 2, spotlessly clean, cosy, inviting and we loved it! Bathroom incredible, kitchen well equipped, giant cosy sofas, my room was lovely, so comfortable I didn't want to get up. Would throughly recommend a stay here, we wish we'd booked for longer. Also had a breakfast which was great value and plenty of choices. We'll be definitely returning!

One thing missing in the kitchen was a T towel

I really liked it here very comfortable, room was warm. Carpet was basic but I really liked the room. loads of parking very safe gated as you come in and cameras everywhere (free) Amazing breakfast also , Great price I’d recommend this place and stay here again hundred percent.

Sheared shower and toilet block in the annex. But it was warm, very clean and your private cubicle loads of shower cubicles and toilets . I really liked it just thought I would mention it just in case someone preferred their own Shower but it was very good and clean.
