Overall Ratings & Reviews The Parsonage Hotel & Spa

A pleasant experience for my 1 night stay. The service, the comfort, the food were all on point with little to criticise. A perfect spot if you are visiting York or nearby towns by vehicle as there was ample parking available on-site that is in close proximity to the living lodges. The check-in and check-out process were seamless and efficient. What I felt was extra memorable was the meal at the hotel's pub restaurant which slightly exceeded my expectations. The lamb pie in particular was rather engaging as when I had cut into the pie, a perfume of that inviting gamey aroma gives that immediate expression of rustic nostalgia. The tender well cooked meat that is seasoned thoughtfully did not disappoint the beautiful aroma that had set the scene. Overall it was a pleasant meal that was fulfilling, well-valued and felt authentic. The breakfast was adequate but definitely paled in energy relatively. However, the service throughout my stay was exceptional, where staff was both professional and welcoming, which greatly enhanced my overall experience and I greatly appreciates.

Lovely hotel. Spa is modern and very enjoyable. The bedroom needs a little updating. Finishing touches seem not complete. Eg. Bath panel old and showerhead rail faulty. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Stayed at the hotel numerous times before due to getting married at the venue and returning on our anniversary.Great that you get to use the spa facilities and choice of food options on sight. This time however our room was above the Fat Abbot pub on property. Our room was above the pub toilet with the hand drier going off, music from downstairs heard in our room until 10.50pm due to speaker in the toilet ceiling. 2x holes in the room floor, room needed repainting, skylight had been leaking at some point due to brown water marks and rather dusty. We felt like the hotel had over booked and we were given an inadequate room. We were very disappointed with our stay this time.

Staff were friendly. Pool. jacuzzi and sauna were amazing. Highly recommended.

It was a perfect one night break. Nice swim, large room and ensuite, excellent breakfast and goos service.

Lovely spa, friendly and helpful staff, lovely room.

Hoping to come back for a friends birthday, Do you do anything special for celebrations

We’ve used this hotel before and it’s awsome value and great location. So peaceful and quiet. Great prices for alcohol food is also bang on!

Fab room and excellent pool

Staff were absolutely amazing and friendly nothing too much trouble. The spa was really good too and included in the price can’t comment on the treatments as didn’t pay for any

Clean and quiet. Breakfast was not worth the extra we paid for

We had a lovely weekend break at the Parsonage in Escrick. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, facilities were great, and afternoon tea was a stand-out pleasure for us!

The trip was to celebrate my 60th Birthday with friends. It was all I wished for & more.

Had the best stay here. Staff were so friendly, rooms clean, breakfast was great and spa was lovely! We couldn’t fault anything!

Comfortable room with a lovely bathroom. Beautiful surroundings. Easy bus ride from York. Excellent food and friendly service

Lovely hotel with friendly/helpful staff. Having access to the gym, pool and spa was great. Breakfast was delightful, a good selection was on offer.

The Hotel is lovely when you drive in although it is easy to miss the entrance. Our room was in the Coach House and was clean but a little dated. The Spa is lovely and clean but lacks beds for the amount of people that visit it, and the changing rooms lack personal changing lockers. The Sauna and the steam room are not very hot but again they were nice and clean and you can hire a robe, towel and slippers for £10 per person for the duration of your stay. Although we did not get a treatment they were reasonably priced. The Fat Abbot attached to the hotel is lovely but a tad expensive £9.50 for a wine. The bar staff are not very friendly and lack a smile or conversation. We had to book our table for the evening meal which was fine and the meal was delicious. On our 2nd night we opted for some light bites of a cheese board but was told it was a special the night before so we could not have it and the waiter would not check if it was possible, we then opted for pizza and was told they had no dough we then asked for some olives and garlic bread again we were told this was not available this was at 7.30. Breakfast was ok and self service but the staff did not tell us this just told us to sit where we wanted again not much in the way of communication or smiles from any of the waiters. The hotel is a 20 minute drive form York City Centre and cost just £10 with UBER. Overall the stay was pleasant but I think the staff should be a bit more welcoming and smile a bit more.

Lovely place to stay

Very nice room plenty of hot water.

We booked a very last minute stay here. The drive into hotel is lovely and from the outside a lot of character. Inside main hotel was modernly decorated and still had character. We had a room in the coach house which is in the next building to the hotel. The room was quite dated compared to main hotel. Good sized room. A little dusty in areas. Plenty room for clothes. Had hair dryer and ironing board along with tea/coffee facilities. Bathroom very dated needs done up. Shower over bath. Bath had a decent sized crack in the top end, couple tiles cracked. Fan didn’t work. Loo brush needed changed. Had Elemis products. No shower cap. Good decent sized towels!! The main thing in the coach house is the main door doesn’t get locked, be better if there was a card entry system. Staff don’t have a set uniform to wear, be better if you could tell who was who. Good choice for breakfast continental and cooked, self service. Had meal in fat abbot next door which is restaurant on site. Meal was lovely. Spa area - decent sized pool, nice jacuzzi and sauna/steam rooms. Not enough seating in the pool area. And I did see a few ants on the floor!!! Didn’t manage to get a treatment as fully booked. Overall a nice hotel could be a little better if upgraded to a higher standard. Wouldn’t say 4 * as been in other hotels that offer that bit more.
