The Carpenters Arms

We stayed in a garden view room for New Years Eve. The weather was atrocious and the journey took ages but when we were shown our room, we forgot about that. It was beautiful with everything you could need. A gorgeous comfy bed, huge bathroom with Temple Spa toiletries and large towels. Coffee pod machine, a fridge with tiny bottles of milk and biscuits. There’s a safe, remote control blinds for the windows and very good lighting. The room was modern, clean and cosy warm. The Yorkshire breakfast the next morning was superb. We would definitely stay here again and there’s some lovely local walks to explore. Thirsk is only 3 miles away so the location is very good with stunning views. Our only very small complaint would be the slowness of the service in the restaurant and the long waits between courses. It was New Years Eve but perhaps more staff were required? The food when it arrived was well presented and nicely cooked although certain things had gone a bit cold due to wait times. This did not detract from us having a great evening and we would stay here again.

Amazing hotel and scenery, everywhere was clean and tidy. Went to celebrate a friends 30th birthday and was not disappointed. We had breakfast and was stunning. Lovely stay and celebrations would definitely recommend to others. Only downside we had was due to the 28 degree heat rooms where red hot and fans provided didn’t really make a difference

The place is fantastic a really nice atmosphere and great food. The service is diabolical. Waited forever for food and drinks. Sat for 25 mins with empty plates waiting for desert order. What a shame as otherwise fantastic

We went away for a birthday treat and stayed 1 night in room 5. We were welcomed at arrival. The set up outside was very pretty. Lovely views. Once we got in our room well what can I say except beautiful! We were very impressed. The room was tastefully decorated. I was uncertain about booking after I read somewhere it was pet friendly but you wouldn't know if a pet had been in site. This must have been one of the nicest overnight stays I've had. It was lovely to have lots of space and your own outdoor space with nice views. We definatly plan to return in the future. We booked for an evening meal onsite. This was really tasty and very well presented. I had soup and pork and my other half had beetroot starter and cod. Breakfast also didn't disappoint we had continental and cooked breakfast choices. Staff were very friendly and the service was great. The village looked very pretty and we went for a nice walk at Sutton bank which had lovely views Thankyou for a pleasent and very enjoyable stay :)

Stayed in one of the garden rooms. Near perfect: comfortable, spacious, with huge bathroom and its heated floor. Nice touches of fresh milk and water in the fridge. Food and service in the restaurant were first-rate. Good choice for breakfast, with all items fully served by attentive staff (a service we particularly value).

Came back for a 3 night stay for my husband’s birthday after a lovely stay last year. We stayed in room 10 last year and decided to try a garden room this year. We were given room 7 and wow! It was perfect! Loved all the added touches like fresh milk, heated floors, lovely gardens/field and beautiful views. Everything we would want for our doggy holiday. Finding somewhere nice and dog friendly is usually difficult but this place does it so well! Went for dinner this evening in the restaurant and it was perfect!!! I had the Korean chicken, seabass and the strawberry and basil for dessert! My husband had the lamb to start, pork belly and a delice! We both loved every mouthful! Everything was cooked perfectly and the service was just brilliant! We felt very welcome with our 2 dogs and cannot fault anything. We are looking forward to our next 2 nights and can see this becoming and annual trip!
