This hotel is located right alongside the A169 between Malton and Pickering. It's well situated for visits to either town for shopping or local attractions and also if you are visiting Flamingoland, just a few minutes away. Despite being right by the road, the hotel is fairly quiet (we had a room at the front so the rooms at the back would be even quieter). The room we stayed in was very spacious (larger than Premier Inn room, for example). The en suite was also roomy. Electric shower, so not as powerful as some. TV was a bit on the small side for such a long room though. Wi-fi was ok if a little slow at times. We didn't eat in the restaurant, so can't comment on the food but the menu and prices looked ok. The bar was quiet and prices were very reasonable. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would stay there again.
