The decor was lovely. However our room (12) could have been decorated to be more in keeping with downstairs. We asked for twin beds but they were joined so had to share a duvet ( which wasn’t the best) and the right hand bed was not comfortable . Room was spacious though.

We were greeted warmly despite our very late arrival. Nothing was too much trouble (we asked if we could have some breakfast sandwiches at really short notice, it was no problem and they were very good value for money). The beds were really comfy with really nice soft, clean white bedding.

Beds super comfortable . Flat super clean and well tended
We love Thirsk.
Also all the places we can visit from there.
Always have a meal in Bianco's.
Vale of York has been taken over and done up. We were surprised at how well it looked after our visit last July.
Went there for a couple of drinks. But next time will go there for a meal too.

It was fun to see where author James Herriot (Alf Wight) lived, worked, and wrote. The nearby church where he was married is nice to visit and there are nice shops and restaurants in the village. We ate at The Golden Fleece and had coffee and pastry at a bakery. The train station was about a mile from the village; we walked it, but there are taxis that can be called. The village is very walkable.

Some interesting shops, Herriots was good value for money and the walks around the town were lovely although there was snow on the ground. Good entertainment in the Golden Fleece watching the staff cock up all the orders for meals and drinks! Beware of the unpleasant traffic warden who comes all the way from Scarborough so has to earn his corn and also the pieman opposite Neros which we happen to cross swords with.Staff in Herons and the Coop were exceptionally helpful.

Thirsk is a lovely place to visit.
Thirsk is a lovely place to visit. There are many cosy teashops (Upstairs, Downstairs was our preferred choice with a great selection of snacks, main meals (including daily specials) and cakes! A great Italian restaurant (Bianco), which I can highly recommend - but do book - we booked for a Wednesday evening and it was very busy! There is also a good selection of bakeries for yummy cakes, cookies and breads! Lots of charity shops for a few bargains, Co-Op, Boots & WH Smith. There is also a large Tesco supermarket just out of the town.
A visit to Thirsk wouldn't be complete without a visit to The World of James Herriot - it was brilliant!
There is also a lot of parking, both short and long stay.
All in all a great time was had by us, and I wouldn't hesitate in returning to Thirsk again!
Fantastic food in the restaurant, beautiful rooms, exceptionally friendly, helpful staff. I was a bit concerned when I was told that breakfast on the Friday did not start until 8am as I thought this was a bit late for a week day and I wanted to leave the hotel quite early. However, I spoke to a gentleman at reception to ask if there was any way I could get something to eat a little earlier and he was so helpful, saying I could come down for breakfast at 7.30 which suited me perfectly.
The property was beautifully presented and very clean. Allison was really clear with information about how to find and enter the property, and we received some lovely welcome chocolates once inside!
Property location was perfect, right in the centre of Thirsk and close to supermarkets, shops and cafes. just a few minutes walk to get some coffee and breakfast each morning!
Would definitely recommend staying at The Old Surgery for a weekend in Thirsk or to explore the local area.
The way we were greeted and put at ease from the start. This pub/hotel reminded me of how country pubs used to be. The whole community support this pub and its busy every night and the locals are great as they make you welcome
The food served here is some of the best we have eaten and the chef cooks it exactly as you want. The portions are perfect and always hot. The deserts are amazing.
We are recommending this hotel and are telling our friends about it.
Thanks guys.
The breakfasts were delicious. I had yogurt on both mornings. The salmon with avocado and then had bacon and poached egg next day.
The food was presented beautifully. You could even sit outside (weather permitting) and enjoy the lovely garden setting and listen to the birds
The location is quiet spacious and facilities are of good quality.
Not far from the interesting town centre of Thirsk.
Would recommend this accommodation and would go again.
The chalets we booked for me and my husband and my sister and niece were absolutely spotless. They were extremely comfortable and very well appointed. The owners had thought of everything, even bringing fresh milk for our tea. We wished we were able to stay for more than one night! The location, 5 minutes by car from Thirsk town centre, was ideal, very peaceful and quiet too. Altogether, a perfect stay!
Alex was top notch as a host. Excellent location for visiting the north moors as well as the Yorkshire dales. Everybody was friendly that we met at the Kings Arms we ended up talking to locals as well as residents. I want to go again as we only scratched at seeing the local scenery. We absolutely loved the North Yorkshire Moors and wondered why we had never been before.
I like the idea of a key safe. Thirsk is a very good central location and has most everything you would want. People very friendly and helpful. Interesting town too. Cottage location was great, easy walk into Thirsk and getting about to other places. The cottage is a good size for two people. The owner was very helpful. WiFi and TV very good.
We loved the location- near Thirsk, the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales. We loved the accommodations- VERY nice and comfortable. James and Julie are great hosts. We also loved that the cottage was a rehabilitated farm building (amazing job of restoration) and is situated on a working farm. Alf Wight (James Herriot) was actually their vet.
The room was clean, and the beds were comfortable. Lovely large room with 3 single beds. Coffee/facilities. Being able to open the windows was great. Being able to eat in the bar/restaurant downstairs. A couple of mins from train station. 15 min walk to Thirsk racecourse. Staff were really friendly and helpful.
Cheery welcome, clean room with plenty of hot water, good choice of food for evening meal and tasty Yorkshire breakfast. All staff were friendly and Chris was particularly helpful when we had a problem with our car. Great location for exploring the Ripon and Thirsk area.
We have stayed before and loved the location and the friendliness of the owner. The room was bright and airy, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was amazing. Parking was available and it has easy access to the town centre of Thirsk.
We were welcome by our host Geoffrey and mage to feel at home. Our room was large with a good ensuite and shower.
Geoffrey cooked a delicious breakfast and served us with a smile! The hotel's location is perfect for exploring the town.
Beautiful peaceful location. A very comfortable cosy cottage with an excellent kitchen which has everything you would need for a self catering break. Would definitely return if in the area and would recommend to others.
