Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious with a good-sized en suite bathroom, but the noise from neighboring guests was a big issue. The staff was friendly, but there were some inconsistencies in pricing. The central location was convenient for exploring the town, but the dining hours could be better. Overall, a decent stay with some drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of charm and inconvenience. The rooms, filled with fine art and antiques, were pleasant enough; however, the smell of smoke from previous guests was off-putting, especially in the bathroom. The connecting door allowed sound from neighboring rooms to be quite audible, affecting the overall experience. The twisting corridors with hidden perks like the spa and gym added a unique touch to the ambiance.
The hotel is centrally located in Driffield, offering free onsite parking and a convenient base for meeting up with local friends. The rooms feature comfortable beds and fresh bedding, though the fire door leading to high narrow steps could be challenging. The service staff are friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant stay. The dining experience, while offering freshly cooked options, fell slightly short of expectations. Overall, the hotel provides good value for the money with some room for improvement.
