Top World of James Herriot Hotel Reviews

The Golden Fleece Hotel, Thirsk, North Yorkshire

10/10 Excellent

"Travelled to Thirsk with family for a funeral. The team at the Golden Fleece could not have been more lovely and helpful. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. Dining was great, the bar was well stocked. We had a good experience despite the circumstances."

Old Oak Tree

10/10 Excellent

"We returned here this year after enjoyjng our stay last year and we were again very happy. The staff friendliness, lovely very comfortable rooms and wonderful breakfast did not disappoint. Being able to have dinner in the restaurant is a definate plus with not having to go out after a long day driving. We would definitely recommend staying here."

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."

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 "
