Search Your Sherburn in Elmet Hotels

I was on my way home and just needed somewhere close to the A1. I was pleasantly surprised by the good size room, comfy bed and spotless bathroom. I’d had a difficult journey and the staff were lovely, helping me to relax. The receptionist found me a nicer room than my original booking and the barman had a nice chilled glass of rosé for me.

We stayed at The Owl Hambleton one night ago, and I only just about feel recovered enough to write a review. The room was clean, staff friendly, and there were multiple sockets for all of our devices to charge overnight. No issues there. What scarred me for life, however, was the paper thin walls between our room and the couple’s next door. I had just settled into bed (which was far too soft, and i did struggle to get comfortable- I prefer firm mattresses. Husband slept like a log.), and I heard the rather loud arrival of the couple in number 4, all giggly and tipsy. They continued to talk and laugh loudly and then the noises became somewhat different. Moans and loud groans of pleasure emanated from them, at first quite fast and loud- the pounding must have been quite intense at that point- and then motion must have been slowed to a tease as the moans remained frequent, but with at least 3 seconds between each one, each getting louder and higher pitched. Now, this went on for a good twenty minutes and was quite uncomfortable to listen to. I felt like I was in the room with them for the volume they reached. What was most baffling was there was no sound from him, until a rather loud finish which sounded more like a garbled toe stub, and the woman never seemed to reach her happy ending, which after all the effort she put in throughout the duration of the show, I was slightly disappointed for her. I didn’t sleep until midnight due to this and the softness of the bed, which meant I was very tired the next day, where my next traumatic experience occurred. After a morning visit to the toilet, it blocked and would not empty out. I tried to look for a loo brush to dislodge the toilet paper and additional debris, but the bathroom did not have one. I didn’t fancy asking some poor staff member to come and unblock it, so I used the bin liner from the empty bathroom bin to cover my hand and arm and manually tackle it. All was fine unti I removed my hand and realised the bag had split and I’d been unblocking a toilet with my own bare hands. I don’t think we’ll be coming back to the Owl until walls are thicker and bog brushes are supplied in all rooms.

It is very quiet and beautiful to have a wedding here. The surrounding environment is super beautiful.

Nice enough hotel but with some reservations, the main entrance had work going on and was closed.the signage for the alternative entrance was poor and so difficult to get into the hotel. Once in side (I entered through the health club) there wasn’t ant directions to the reception. Once checked in, the room was decent if a bit of a trek to get to. Upon checking out, again the sign for the barrier code wasn’t easy to spot. I’m sure once all the alterations are complete the hotel will be back to the usual standards found at the average Holiday Inn.

We stayed 2 nights in the hotel and found the room to be really comfortable, the staff really friendly and helpful, and the food was really excellent. We didn't use the spa facilities as always arrived too late but the pool looked really inviting. Location was also good as just a few minutes off the M1. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at this hotel.

We had an overnight friday stay. First floor room at the front overlooking the square. Surprisingly quiet. Nice clean room - all they usual facilities. Comfy beds. Nice food, lovely friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Free parking is a winner. Lovely breakfast. would recommend.

Just stopped 2 nights in November. Lovely bed and breakfast. We stopped in the Poppy room. Adele was lovely and could not do enough. Place was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was awesome in the Garden Room. Full English one day and eggs Benedict the next day. Tasted lovely. Toast too and preserves if you wish but we were stuffed. Room had an en-suite, again spotless, hairdryer for the missus, tea and coffee and a little fridge with some milk and locally sourced biscuits and handmade chocolates. That’s how to do a bed and breakfast. Great location. About 15 mins to park and ride into York.
