“A regular visitor”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2013

Another great stay with the host Barry & his wonderful staff. A lovely cooked breakfast to send you on your way. Quaint, quirky and delightful. Close to the centre with parking too. We will certainly be staying again in the future.

“Our James Herriot theme vacation base camp”

We are from Montana, and my adult daughter and I stayed with Barry for a few days while we explored Thirsk and the Yorkshire Dales by motorcycle. We called it our James Herriot theme vacation, though it was only a few days between work for me at the University of Leeds. St. James House is in the perfect location for... More

“Very pleasant one night stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2013

If you are looking for a modern boutique hotel then you will be disappointed, if however you looking for a traditional B&B then the St James is well worth visiting. I only stayed for a one night stop over, the owner was very friendly, the room was clean & tidy and well appointed. I would have no hesitation in recommending... More

“Enjoyable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 April 2013

We stayed for 2 nights last week and had a good stay. It is comfortable and the breakfast is good, and the owner, Barry, is very entertaining and helpful. The building is lovely, and although some of the fittings and bathrooms are a bit old fashioned it was clean and warm and the house is full of antique furniture. It... More

It was freezing outside but Barry has great heat!!! Bathroom is a bit dated but nice bathtub!! Breakfast was excellent with the very best rashers of bacon I've ever had(father's own cure excepted)!... More

“Strange Experience”

I must say that I'm surprised at the reviews I've read here. Although we found St. James Place to be clean, our bed was terrible. In all fairness, we were given the option of changing rooms for the second night. We were not given a key to enter the premises and needed to be left out and left in at... More

We are very surprised to hear that you did not enjoy your stay with us and that you felt "STRANGE" and uncomfortable. This is certainly a first for us at St James House not ( St James Place ) as you stated in your review. Frankly, we find the use of the word "strange" bizarre and absurd but amusing. We... More
