We have just returned from a brilliant weekend staying at the Worsley Arms for 2 nights. We brought our dog (at just £5 extra per night) who was very welcome in the hotel and stayed in one of the lovely cottages opposite the pub. We had such a perfect weekend in such an idyllic village setting. We enjoyed the village Saturday market and some beautiful walks in the area and returned to the roaring fires in the hotel bar and to some brilliant top notch food in the restaurant each night. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, breakfasts delicious and to be honest we cannot say a bad word about our experience at The Worsely!

Visited Jan 20th to Jan 22nd using a KGB Deal offer. We found staff to be very friendly and genuinely cared about your stay. Room was tastefully decorated with a huge king sized bed, tv and DAB radio, also free wifi. Breakfast was nice and we stayed in their restaurant Saturday night. Food was fantastic, one of the best steaks I've had and reasonably priced. Its a bit far out of York (half hour drive), but its right in the middle of some great sight seeing places and walks. We loved it!

We stayed here overnight on a one night free deal. We upgraded to a superior room but not sure what the difference between that and standard was to be honest. The hotel is in the lovely quiet village of Hovingham, 8 miles from Malton. It is ideally located for York, Thirsk, and not that far from Scarborough etc. The hotel has a lovely bar and lounge areas, good parking area, and nice restaurant where we had a lovely breakfast. The rooms are in need of a bit of sprucing up but they are clean and spacious with comfy bed, tv, and nice big bathroom. There are plenty of lovely walks in the area and Castle Howard is only 3 miles away. The best part about the hotel is that dogs are allowed here and made very welcome. We stayed with our little rottweiller girl and she was fussed and cuddled and was able to spend the night in the bar with us. I would definitely stay here again if there were some offers on, the fact that we can take our dog and the location made it a really good choice for us.

Booked this as a birthday get-away through Living Social. Beautiful, quiet village, well worth a walk around. Arrived a night and couldn't see the back entrance to the hotel from the car park at rear (light wasn't working), so took a guess and was right! Very friendly and efficient owner (?) showed us to our room, which was nicely decorated, but cold. All the usual facilities were there, but no biscuits! and the milk jug leaked all over the cupboard top (sorry, forgot to mention this to them on leaving).

Ate in the bar/restaurant and the food was excellent. The waiter was just friendly enough and efficient, although the staff need to know (not the waiter) that we can hear you when you are talking about us. The bar area was lovely, with lots of comfy chairs and sofas and a roaring coal fire, but a quite evening was not a possibility due to other very loud guests (think the sheepskin clad 'in-laws' in The Royale Family), but I supose the hotel can't do anything about that.

Breakfast was very good and they didn't mind us altering it to suit.

The only down side to this hotel was the over familar receptionist, who talked about other guests (the loud ones), which made me wonder what she said about us and discussed in great detail her and her family's health problems, which made me forget about the milk jug!

Overall, this was a lovely hotel, well worth the 'deal' price, but I wouldn't have been happy paying the full price. If another 'deal' came up I would stay there again, but I would want to know whether there are any 'shooting parties' there as well.
