The Golden Fleece Hotel, Thirsk, North Yorkshire

Personal choice but didn't like the evening menu choices and breakfast was good if poached eggs were cooked better. Mine still had the clear egg slime on them. Staff were brilliant even down to the housekeeping. Room we had was really lovely, modern and a good size. Lots of space in bathroom and a great shower. Free parking was a real bonus. Really enjoyed our weeks stay at golden fleece hotel

Lovely location. Excellent stafff, restaurant is nice.

Great sized room overlooking the market square. Hotel offers free safe parking at rear of hotel and close to all amenities, we visited the James Heriot experience and several local pubs. Thirsk is a great location to visit other local towns like Pickering , Ripon , Northallerton and Helmsley.

We had a wonderful stay at the Golden Fleece, it surpassed our expectations. Ample parking, free, at the rear of the hotel, we were warmly welcomed and our room, if it was a standard room (Number 5) was welcoming, comfy, spotlessly clean and with lots of extra amenities to make us feel at home. It had the feel of an upgraded room, newly refurbished, with a great Roberts radio, coffee machine, free water and lovely toiletries (which you could buy as well if you liked them). As we have an elderly pooch, I emailed to ask for a low floor room if at all possible and received an immediate reply reassuring me it was not a problem at all. I appreciated that, as without a lift it can be a bit of a trauma for our lovely old boy. The staff in all areas were lovely, professional, friendly and very helpful. Sam (the pooch) especially enjoyed his breakfast sausage and all the attention. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble, although thankfully we had no issues to trouble them with, as they have thought of everything to make a stay a memorable and relaxing one. An 11am checkout is a rarity these days, but very much appreciated, as you can enjoy a leisurely breakfast, with lots of choices and worth the supplement and ease yourself into the day. Location-wise, couldn't be better, right in the heart of Thirsk, we didn't need to use the car at all. Lots to see and do, soak up the atmosphere of a busy market town, all in all a fantastic stay and we will return!
