"A return to a favourite hotel, looking beautiful with all the Christmas lights and decorations.
Our room was clean, comfortable and spacious. The menu had changed slightly and we enjoyed a lovely meal.
We will return. "
"Had two nights in a family room whilst visiting York, which can be easily accessed by car in minutes. The ground-floor room was clean, spacious and very well appointed, with a large TV and a small but perfectly formed bathroom boasting an array of hand-wash, shower gel, shampoo and separate conditioner! Breakfast was excellent, though options for evening dining were limited. That said, we enjoyed a couple of lovely meals at the nearby Cross Keys pub, where it was possible to reserve a table. Would most definitely consider Stableside at York Races again if visiting York by car."
