The location is extremely close to the City Centre, and although next door to York mainline Station, we did not hear any noise. The staff were friendly and very helpful with the reception team being extremely welcoming. Check in was quick and efficient and the room was what we expected.
Situated on the banks of the River Ouse, The Queens Hotel is ideally located for the many shops, restaurants and bars that the centre of York has to offer.

Great location for a stay within striking distance to York & outlet shopping centre. Bus runs every 15mins direct through village to both locations, literally takes no more than 20min. Good pub in grounds of Parsonage hotel & a Thai restaurant that also does takeout, excellent food at both.

We have stayed at the parsonage 4 times and wouldn’t go back if it was rubbish.
The spa is lovely. Swimming pool, big jacuzzi , several steam rooms. The treatments were fairly priced.
The fat fryer has a great menu and again good prices.
The area (Escrick) is out of the way and unless you have a car you could be marooned. I didn’t see any busses but I understand it is on a route.
I’m looking forward to going again soon.

We liked the lovely garden surroundings which were immaculate, the lounge and conservatory where we could relax and the swimming pool and jacuzzi which was excellent.
A good bus service into York was very helpful.
The staff struggled slightly with service at breakfast time when the hotel became very busy.

The establishment was not as good as advertised.
The establishment was not as good as advertised. Definitely wouldn’t recommend or class as 4 star.
Checkin experience was rubbish as did not have the room ready for check in time given on website.
Spa outdated needs a refurbishment and the loungers really close to the floor (no legs on them) making it difficult getting back up from them.
Room was too hot and had to have fan on and windows open all night.
The milk was off in the room and no bin in the main room only in the bathroom.
The only good thing I can say was that the Abbott pub which was on site was very nice with great staff and lovely food and plenty of parking.
We won’t be going to this hotel and spa again as very disappointing

nothing there as far as i could tell, yorkshire water doing work right outside the hotel , did not really bother us until they switched the water off for a whole day, that is not the hotels fault but there again they should complain to the water company as it happens quite often according to staff. on the whole disappointed with visit.

Slightly disappointing as it looked amazing venue.
Slightly disappointing as it looked amazing venue. It could be spectacular but the receptionist struggled to smile and took ages to do things, breakfast tepid, carpets a bit grubby and had 1980s feel to it
Lovely stay at the Parsonage Hotel, booked because of the pool and spa area which was great and used each day. Breakfast was really good, lots of choice. Room was quite big and shower clean with great water pressure and products. Setting was great, 20 minutes into York on the bus (bus stop outside, £2 each way), and reasonable taxi fare into York (£9 Uber). Staff on Reception very helpful. Excellent Thai restaurant next door.
The Cloisters spa facilities were really nice, we enjoyed two visits there during our stay.
The adjoining Pub The Fat Abbot was a lovely location for a relaxing drink with nice outdoor seating for the lovely weather we had. The Manager and his team were all very friendly attentive & welcoming. Sunday lunch was really good and plentiful. The staff in the main hotel were all very pleasant and helpful.
Staff, helpful both at hotel and fat abbot pub. We opted for DB&B and the £25 per person for food completely covered the 3 course Sunday lunch evening meal. Food was excellent and speedily delivered once order taken.the Buffet Breakfast in the hotel was also excellent We booked a superior room and the 4 poster bed was very comfortable.
The bed was very comfy. Large bathroom with shower over the bath. Lovely soft fluffy towels and Elemis shower gel and body/hand lotion. Tea/coffee in room. Lovely spa with pool, jacuzzi and 4 different hot rooms. Buffet breakfast was lovely with lots of choice. Bus stop into York a very short walk away which goes via the Designer Outlet.
Brilliant location with great facilities. Staff couldn’t do enough.
While staying at the hotel there was a medical emergency. Working for the ambulance service I offered a helping hand. I was extremely impressed by the coordination of help and support staff gave to the patients family.
We booked the property as it was the nearest location we could get to a wedding venue near by.
really nice lady who served us in the pub restaurant and worked in the hotel, very polite and helpful.
The room was spacious and the room was cleaned during our stay.
Such a beautiful location and hotel. Clean, friendly with lovely Spa facility. Our food was always very good. The staff at breakfast were exceptional, food was always fresh and plates cleared quickly The Parsonage was highlight of our 2 weeks traveling holiday.
The hotel managed to put us up on the morning of our stay after our previous hotel (The Black Bull) rang to cancel all reservations.
The staff in the bar/restaurant and breakfast room were helpful and friendly.
The hotel location is excellent, the range of Spa facilities is good (but not something we needed), the Fat Abbot caters for food and drink, our room was conveniently situated in the Parsonage.
Great location, you could get a bus into York outside the hotel, which saved on parking cost in the town center as it’s expensive. The spa was excellent and the gym is well equipped,
The staff were very kind, welcoming and helpful all throughout our stay. Great location, 9 minutes from York central via taxi. Spa and pool were fantastic. Food was really nice too.
We stayed one night after attending a funeral wake at the venue. The catering at the wake was excellent. The hotel has character, with a relaxed ambience.
