Overall we had a lovely stay and the staff were brilliant. We had booked a superior double room and were given room 1. We were disappointed with this room as it had a smell of drains coming from the bathroom and was also quite small. We asked to be moved but were told this wasn’t possible due to the hotel being full, however, this would not stop us staying there again. We ate breakfast and dinner in the hotel and the food was really lovely.

Unfortunately our room was far too hot, making our stay uncomfortable meaning we couldn’t sleep. The reason being, there were hot water pipes running through the bedroom and en-suite which were very hot 24 hours a day. A small fan was provided which was woefully inadequate to cope with the heat. We did ask to move rooms but were told there was no other room available and in any case all other rooms had hot water pipes running through too. Overall this problem spoiled our stay in the hotel.

The building was needing a little attention, as a tired looking. Shower could be bigger. We had a evening meal which was fantastic. Breakfast was excellent but a bit costly.

Great Location

We stayed at the Golden Fleece for 4 nights. The location can't be beat. Right at the center of the town, so easy walking distance to all the shops, pubs and James Herriot museum. Our spacious room faced the square and was very quiet. A fresh bottle of water was left each day, which was appreciated. All the staff that we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Parking for the hotel is available. Just be aware that there is no lift.
