Top York Hotel Reviews

Burn Hall Hotel

Burn Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Our executive double room was extremely clean and comfortable, staff were very friendly and professional. Our evening meal was delicious and good value. We particularly liked the gardens and ate on the terrace. The bathroom was a little "tired" but was spotlessly clean. Amazing value at £64 for the room per night. Thank you for a very pleasant stay"
