Were ever I travel in Britain if there is a best western that is the hotel I stay at ,so far I have never been let down by a clean good size room,friendly staff and excellent breakfast.
The hotel was perfectly placed for a walk to the station. The town was delightful with a good Italian restaurant and other shops around

Lovely old building, and very friendly helpful staff, however the walls and floors are very thin. You will hear everything your upstairs and next door neighbours are saying and doing.
We only stayed one night but we had a lovely evening meal.we didnt stay around fir breakfast as we felt it was too expensive.
All in all a pleasant stay
Staff were exceptional, helpful, kind and polite. Room were clean and of a high standard, meals were lovely and service was quick and staff again, very kind and wanting to help and advice.
Would definitely return.
I have stayed at this hotel many times it’s a lovely traditional property with friendly helpful staff
It’s well appointed for a number of restaurants in and around the Main Street
Lovely hotel - room not noisy despite being on the road side of the hotel. Staff were lovely (as was the hotel cat) and the food was great (and large). Highly recommended.
Easy to park and get around the hotel and pickering . Food good quality and the chief excellent.
Staff all good.
Great place to stay everthing to a high standard.
Keep up the good work
Everyone was welcoming and were accommodating with requests for meals, drinks and extra requirements in our room. Jaqueline, Harri, Tom, Alan and Sharon provided that extra care and attention to detail. These are the names we remember but please note every member of hotel staff provided good care and customer service skills. We will return.
A lovely hotel in a lovely location. Very pretty little town. The hotel has maintained all it's features and although we weren't able to sit outside due to the weather, the grounds looked very nice too. Only thing I would change is the bathroom. Felt quite stark and could be made more luxurious and in keeping with the rest of the hotel for minimal cost. Parking very good. Evening meal was lovely and the staff were lovely and very welcoming. Would definitely recommend.
