What guests think

At Sandburn Hall, guests consistently praise the beautiful countryside setting near York, warm professional service, tasty breakfasts and restaurant options, well-kept grounds with walks, and the convenient access for exploring the area from a peaceful base.

Rooms draw frequent praise for modern design, comfort and thoughtful touches like fresh milk, deep baths or walk-in showers, strong air-con, and, in some cases, patios or scenic views. Recurring drawbacks are the lack of a pool or spa, having to walk outdoors to Tykes in poor weather, occasional firm mattresses, and rare noise or light disturbances during events. Ideal for a calm, comfort-focused getaway.

Had a lovely stay. Hotel is very modern and in beautiful surroundings. All staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms could do with a little hotel information, I.e menu for restaurant, info in sports bar (we just happened to find it when our roaming) but otherwise was amazing and highly recommend. Addition of an electric car charger was perfect for us and took the stress out if return journey being able to charge up on site. Will definitely stay again.

Evening meal and breakfast in Tykes restaurant was very good , but could do with a covered walkway to get there from the main hotel. A pool and spa is all this place is missing, but still a great place to stay at.

All of the staff we spoke to were friendly, seemed happy and were very accommodating. The food in Tykes was very good. Fresh milk in the fridge in the room - perfect. Easy parking in a large car park. Absolutely lovely place to stay and we hope to again.

OMG what a find. Have never stayed here before but was so happy we did. What a wonderful place to stay. The staff were so friendly, the room was perfect and air conditioning was a bonus. In the evening we sat and watched the geese come in to land for the night and in the morning we watched a heron having his breakfast. Speaking of breakfast it was to die for - if I won the lottery I would live there. Highly recommend - oh and the parking is free!

Absolutely beautiful hotel! Felt like I was in Canada with the lovely lodge feel. Bright, modern, spotlessly clean. Lovely brekafast. Just wished I lived closer (I’m 4.5hrs away) so I could go there more and that I’d booked a longer stay this time. Can’t say a bad word about it.

Really enjoyed our stay. Friendly staff, very comfy bed, good powerful shower and excellent breakfast. Really liked the fresh milk in the mini bar for making tea/coffee. The only reason for not giving a full 5 stars was that the basin did not drain very well and there were a couple of areas in the room that were not 100% clean.

Great location, lovely room, wonderful amenities, beautifully clean and tidy, tasty food with huge portions, good WiFi, brilliant bathroom with deep bath and separate rainfall shower. My only gripe is the light ingress from the brightly lit area behind the premium rooms, which affected my sleep. Just dim the lights after, say, midnight or provide a curtain pelmet to block the light. If this were done I’d have to rate it as a favourite hotel.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay hotel was very modern and the facilities and staff were attentive. However on our last night we had a broken night due to a wedding party who were noisy and vulgar adjacent to our room. We had to complain about the noise which went on to 3.30am. We were given a refund for our last night but always check if a wedding party is staying as there is a risk as in our case of a noisy crowd ruining what was a lovely stay.

From the approach leading up to the stunning facade of this hotel to the minute we left nothing was left to chance. The staff at reception were so friendly, we were taken to our room rather than just given our key and everything explained to us. The grounds are beautiful and we were given a map with a choice of walks to explore. We had dinner in Tykes restaurant which is a beautiful oak beamed converted barn. My pork was so tender I could have eaten it with a spoon. Partner had chicken which was gluten free and equally delicious. Breakfast Wes served in Tykes again and all gluten free options clearly marked and explained. We don’t do golf but it was interesting to watch others on the golf course. I expressed an interest in the little oil lamps dotted around at reception and the staff immediately made it their mission to find out where I might purchase a similar one. All in all a fabulous place to stay, 4 miles outside York. Thank you the staff of Sandburn Hall for making our stay in this sumptuous hotel so fabulous.

Breakfast was equally as good with a wide selection at the buffet. A brilliant stay and we look forward to coming back.

We’ve recently enjoyed a 2 night stay. Beautiful oak framed hotel, with a comfortable room and en-suite of dreams. We were greeted by Ellie on reception, and shown to our room. Buffet breakfast in Tykes Restaurant was plentiful and offered continental and hot options. However steak night at Tykes was a little disappointing. The steaks were overcooked, the triple cooked chips were not crispy and the side of mushrooms were cold. This was addressed appropriately at the time with restaurant staff but it was disappointing given the restaurant was not busy and if you offer steak the chef should know how to cook it correctly.
