If its pristine neat and tidiness 5 star accommodation you're looking for, then this won't be for you. On the other hand if you're looking for a laid back, friendly, warm welcome, quirkiness, fun and laughter, then you'll love it here. As far as I could see everyone looked relaxed and happy and that included both visitors and staff. It's... More

We booked three night here and loved it. The rooms are converted rail carriages which adds to its charm. The staff are wonderful and made us so welcome. The evenings meals and breakfast were excellent. It is very handy for visiting York. We will be returning later in the year again with some of the family

We attended with a party of 9 people including the children for the weekend over the May Day weekend. Having stayed there approx 8 years ago, we found the 'new' owners to be excellent. They were friendly, accommodating and could not do enough to ensure you have a pleasant stay. The room was clean and well made up with all... More

After problems with booking (or lack of when checking a couple of days prior to our arrival) I was all for finding all the faults I could.

Was greeted by friendly staff and taken to our room. Room 4. The carriage was lovely in an unusual way. The room was lovely and... More

Its a converted BL railway carriage - just remember that before booking and you will be fine! In fact, having slept on many sleeper trains, I was a little disappointed the beds weren't pull down, and they could have done with leaving the luggage racks in. The owners were lovely, the food generous. The one glitch was we went out... More
