Top World of James Herriot Hotel Reviews

The Golden Fleece Hotel, Thirsk, North Yorkshire

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely historic hotel in a great location. Food was excellent and the staff very friendly. We would definitely stay there again"

Old Red House Thirskl

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very welcoming and friendly, very helpful. The location was perfect, the food spot on. Couldn’t be happier. Great atmosphere."

Old Oak Tree

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the nicest hotel rooms we have stayed in. The decor was lovely and the room conveniently next to the pub. The only issues we had was the fan in the bathroom which was rather loud, especially in the night and the last orders for dinner being at 7.00pm, which seemed rather early. The breakfast was very good and of sufficient choice. All the staff we encountered were very helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay there again."

Kemps Yard Retreat

8/10 Good

"We rather liked Kemps Yard, which must be fairly new to the listing. Very convenient for Thirsk town, quietly hidden away from the main road, and clean and cosy. Parking in the yard is almost impossible, although the neighbour is an expert at manoeuvring his pickup down the lane! The visitor's permit lets you park on the road and saves you from endangering your vehicle, but you may get your step count up while you unload. We were ok with the cobbled lane, but it wouldn't be so good for those less stable on their feet. The beds are comfortable, but the two singles squeak excessively, so much so that our adult daughter put the mattress on the floor. The house comes with every modern convenience and the Wi-Fi served three people perfectly well. As others have said, the laminate flooring in the kitchen has separated and looks unsightly, but it wasn't really a trip hazard."

Herriot’s Hideaway – Relax, Explore, Unwind

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely little 2 bed house in great location for weekend in Thirsk - few mins walk to shops, restaurants, cinema, and there’s a pub serving food across the road. Clean, well equipped, good shower in bathroom too. Smooth check-in, no issues. Parking is busy but we always found a nearby spot. We used it as a base to visit the local area, loved visiting Nunnington Hall (nice scenic drive there). Great communication with host when needed. Would stay again if in the area."

Bakery Cottage, Thirsk

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful"

Ickle Pickle Cottage

10/10 Excellent

"This cottage has a really nice vibe very clean and ideally situated for visiting Thirsk and the local communities. The market square is a few short steps away The railway station is a pleasant 30 minutes walk away, but it does have a bus service if the weather is not too good The cottage is spread over 3 storeys and is modern kitchen and bathroom on the ground floor and sitting/living room is 1st floor and bedroom top floor. We had a nice break and would consider visiting again. The cottage I has "
