  Estupendo

  Tuvimos la suerte de alojarnos en este Guesthouse, no queríamos quedarnos a dormir en York y decidimos quedarnos en Thorne a dormir para adelantar el camino a la siguiente parada de ruta. La habitación es confortable y el desayuno, de los mejores que me he tomado en mi estancia por el Reino Unido.

  Excellent value for money

  I stayed here on a stop-over on my way to Co Durham. It is a professional and clean B&B with a top-notch breakfast. It's much more professional than your typical B&B setting with a designated breakfast room in a canteen style rather than invading someone's domestic lounge. As someone who has ran the housekeeping department of an international conference centre I can tell you that it's obvious that revenue is re-invested in keeping the property fresh and clean. There wasn't a hint of dust on tope of the wardrobe. There is also 10% off at a local pub for an evening meal if you take the coaster out of the bedroom with you - which I did. Tiny niggles for improvement: 1: new heating elements in toaster. You could die of old age waiting for your toast!! 2: TV on mounted bracket rather than on top of wardrobe - needs a more natural viewing angle 3: Deep clean (i.e. with toothbrush) of the trim around ensuite floor (where flooring meets the wall)

  Unhelpful Hostess

  Have stayed here more than once and returned purely because the location was good in regard to the local shops and Railway Station. Owned by a Middle Aged couple (presumably) Married. Although the Woman has never been that welcoming to us on previous visits prior to what we decided would be our last one the Man has always been quite amiable and helpful if I asked for anything and that's why we went back. However, the same cannot be said for the Wife during any of our stays and her attitude during our last stay made our minds up never to return. But her lack of Customer Service Skills cannot go unchallenged. I feel for the Husband in having to do this as he has obviously worked work to make this Business a success, but his good work is wrecked by the antics of the Wife. The Breakfast here is not to bad though, but could do with being a bit less greasy. On more that one occasion we asked for more Toilet Roll and she's never been willing to let us have some. The last time we stayed we only had one Roll of Toiler Paper left so we knocked on her door after coming back from a night out, yet she bluntly refused and said "wait till morning". To comply with our request would not have taken much effort as the storage cupboard was only in the next room to where she answered the door at. We ended up buying our own Toilet Roll the next Morning to prevent a repeat of that nasty experience. She's a very stern faced Woman that in my opinion lacks Social Skills and perhaps would be better off employed as a Prison Officer in a Women's Jail. Discretion doesn't seem to be her strongest point either as I over heard her chatting with two Female Cleaners and during the conversation I clearly heard Anti-Male remarks. If it was just the Husband running this place on a day to day basis I would have no problem recommending it for location and cost of room reasons, but the Wife and her attitude is a liability. This Establishment is obviously worried about negative reviews as it has a notice on the wall asking those not happy to come to them first and not put anything bad on a site such as this one. Well I've tried approaching her for help more than once and I'm sorry to say it didn't do me any good. If she tried to smile a bit more it might endear her and the place to Customers who could even be tempted to return. But instead during my stays I have to say most of the time the expression on her face resembled that of an angry Staffordshire Terrier watching a Cat eat its meal whilst locked in a cage.

  Great value for money

  Booked at short notice when I had to visit Thorne on a family matter and usual place I stay was fully booked. Arrived early evening, shown to room and given information on access, breakfast, etc. Room was larger than expected, well equiped and very clean. A few "quirks" which other reviews have mentioned but the is a B&B guest house and not a 5* designer hotel. Stayed a very comfortable 4 nights, staff freindly and excellent breakfasts. Would I stay again? - Yes
