    I picked to only day the restaurant wasn’t open…doh!

    A lovely room within a grand old building giving the feeling of being in the middle of countryside from the edge of town. A very pleasant stay topped off by wonderful helpful staff.

    Nothing, albeit I wish it was a bit closed so we could justify going again soon.

    Highfield was an absolute treat from checking in to checking out. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The property, and its surroundings, is stunning, and the food was lovely.

    No lift. However, as bags carried for us up stairs no problems. Also could have moved to a downstairs room but then would have missed the exquisite pictures and grand staircase entrance for dinner.

    Staff extremely helpful, polite and friendly. Meals exceptional. House unique and gardens beautiful. Gardener took time to show me round the greenhouse. An experience well worth staying here. We will certainly be returning.

    Nothing!

    The building is stunning, with acres of grounds to walk in as well. The rooms are individually decorated to a very high standard. Ours, Mallard, is designed as a tribute to the steam train of that name, and even had a model train track (not working, presumably for health and safety reasons) running round above head height. The dining room is very attractive and the food excellent.

    Cannot fault anything

    Very unique Residence, reflecting the owners’ decorating style tastefully combining modern and period. The location is ideal with Driffield centre in walking distance and easy access to explore this part of Yorkshire. Highfield guests benefit also from the extensive gardens which are beautifully looked after.

    The stairs to the Mallard Room! However well worth the climb. Wi-fi didn’t work in the room but not a game changer. Should be easily fixed.

    The building looks stunning and the room we had was exceptional. Expansive grounds for walking the dog too. Staff were really friendly and helpful. We had cocktails during the cocktail happy hour, which we’d recommend and a lovely meal in the restaurant.

    Nothing to dislike.

    Stunning accommodation. Reception was very welcoming. Breakfast was plentiful, very well cooked and excellently presented. We would have loved to dine in the restaurant for our evening meal but owing to it being a Monday it was understandably closed.

    There was nothing not to like.

    Highfield was one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Everything was perfect from the welcome received, our room, cleanliness and comfort, and the view from it, to the delicious breakfast served in an amazing period dining room. All the staff/owners we spoke to were very friendly and we will most certainly return when next in the area. Staying at the Highfield was quite a unique experience, in a very good way.

    Lighting in room where breakfast taken not consistent. Lights dimming and returning to full brightness was distracting.

    Easy to locate thanks to instructions re long wall. The quirkiness, bath in bedroom, wonderful comfortable 4 poster bed, pantry to raid! The friendly staff

    Our room was up two flights of stairs. I have an arthritic knee and I made the room with little extra effort. However, had I known I would have tried for a room lower down......then again I liked Mallard so much, I'd prably book it again.

    From the moment we arrived we were treat with total kindness and helpfulness by the staff, particularly the young lady on the reception. She escorted us to our room and told us a little of the history of the house as we mad our way there. Our room was called Mallard, the decor was themed to the Gresley steam train, Mallard. There was even a scale train set running round the upper wall of the room. The bed was fantastically comfortable and the bathroom superb.

    I wish we had been able to arrive earlier!

    We had a wonderful, though too-short stay at Highfield. We felt looked after and spoiled. From stepping through the front door, the welcome was warm and friendly. The decor, warmth and fragrance were notable and pleasant too! The room was exceptional, with soft bedding and comfortable beds as well as snuggly pillows! I was delighted to have the chance to have a brew with proper milk and the treats were a nice touch. Breakfast was tasty and my poached eggs were spot on.What a treat we had! I can't recommend Highfield, highly enough.

    If I'm going to be picky and it is picky but it would have been nice for the mugs in our room to have been washed daily . I was having to wash with water and my fingers but was unable to get the staining out each day . Also even though the cooked breakfast was fantastic for someone like myself who prefers continental I had no choice . Just 2 cereals 3 on our last morning but no yogurts or fruit , some nice pastries would have been nice. I had to ask for jam and the toast well it came out more like warmed bread which wasn't that nice but has that put us off staying again NO I have just booked another stay

    What was there not to like . We loved everything. We had the suit stitch . I just loved the bath in the room. I loved raiding the larder part. I felt like a naughty child stealing sweets. The only thing was that we had to remember to go down and get tea bags and coffee. The staff are all amazing especially Georgia who dealt with our booking and found a way to store my insulin which was actually in the apartment of the owners Stan and Phyllis. What lovely lovely people. They allowed me to let myself in every morning. Nothing was too much trouble
