AA Rosette award-winning country house hotel on 20 acres of National Trust parkland
Dining
The grand restaurant offers a six-course tasting menu curated by the Head Chef, using seasonal produce from the kitchen garden. AA Rosettes for Dining Excellence and the Restaurant of the Year award from Visit York recognise the quality of the British cuisine. The traditional English Afternoon Tea experience, linked to Hoogly Tea, is served in the panelled dining room with views of the gardens.
Spa & Wellness
The boutique spa has an indoor swimming pool, a spa bath, a sauna, a steam room, and a hot tub. A gym is located in the Victorian summer house, and the spa offers a range of treatments including massages. The spa bath, sauna, and steam room are open all year.
Accommodation
The hotel has 17 bedrooms, each decorated with antique furnishings and offering views of the grounds or gardens. All rooms have a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom with fluffy robes and free toiletries, and slippers. The White Rose Suite is a particularly spacious four-poster bedroom that some guests describe as a bygone-era experience.
Gardens & Grounds
The 20-acre grounds include leafy terraces, a walled garden, and fragrant orchards that guests are encouraged to explore. Beautifully maintained by the National Trust, the gardens feature a rose garden and a kitchen garden that supplies the restaurant. A ha-ha provides a long lawn view that some guests compare to a storybook setting.
Location & Weddings
The hotel sits adjacent to York Racecourse, 3.5 km from York city centre, with a bus stop at the main driveway. The hotel offers an exclusive wedding planning service for small weddings down to 17 guests, with private dining rooms that seat up to 14 for the wedding breakfast. Complimentary parking is available on site, and the hotel is a five-minute drive from York Minster.
