We would definitely stay at The Golden Fleece Hotel Thirsk again. I have included some friendly criticism in this review. The hotel staff were friendly and welcoming. The bar and dining room were very comfortable. Although our dog wasn't allowed in the main dining area we didn't feel as though we were missing out on comfort in fact, the doggie dining area was carpeted. We enjoyed a delicious evening meal on our first evening and an equally delicious breakfast the following morning. All the staff were very helpful and friendly. Our dog seemed to be trying to get through a wall every time we went up the stairs and during the first night of my stay I heard a thud and it definitely wasn't my dog. We found later that the building was haunted. Perhaps my dog could see a way through the wall or was trying to follow someone?! None of this spoilt our visit though. The building is lovely with it's winding corridors and is deceptively large, as I found out when I had to carry mine and my parent's cases up a lot of stairs and along corridors (there are no lifts, I guess because the building will be listed). The Deluxe Twin Room was spacious, airy and overlooked the market square. Despite having the window open at night there was little or no noise from outside. Beds were comfortable. The Classic Plus Double alas, was a little disappointing. It felt dark and small. The room looked out onto a brick wall. If this was the only room I had seen I wouldn't go back to stay. It's worth spending a little more for a nicer view and more space. Both rooms do have everything you may need, including a hair dryer. There was also a goodie bag in the room for our dog, it said that this would include a dog bowl but there wasn't one, luckily we'd taken one. There was also a small tennis ball in bag and I wouldn't advocate using a tennis ball without a rope because they present a choking hazard. I would suggest a tug rope instead. The hotel is ideally situated on the market square and just a couple of minute's walk away is the World of James Herriot which is well worth a visit. Thirsk Museum is opposite WJH but we didn't have time to visit. A little further along the road is a sculpture garden which is lovely when the weather is fine because most of the sculptures are on grass. If you are taking your dog there are some lovely walks and nice parks only 2-5mins walk away.

Fantastic stay. We booked a last minute trip with our dog and couldn't have asked for a better stay. warm welcome and nothing too much trouble. Great food and nice rooms with a central location. Will be returning soon....

Would you like to add any more feedback about your stay? We feel that we should have been told about the ground floor rooms not being part of the package or if there was a need to upgrade and then we would have done this when booking.
Welcoming place and great food, disappointing room as asked for ground floor room when booking but none available. Manager said the package did not include ground floor but we had asked for this when booking so feel was misleading.

We spent a delightful 2 days in Thirsk, and the hotel was all we could have wanted, and more. Tilly really enjoyed her stay, and particularly liked the sausage at breakfast time. So impressed that, whilst we didn't buy the company (for those that remember the Gillette ad.) we have booked another 2 night break in the summer. Looking forward to revisiting Thirsk on our next trip to the north east.

Our room was very disappointing. We thought we were going to have a room with direct access outside as we have a nervous dog and we had a very small room upstairs off the car park. The room was tiny with barely room to walk around the bed. The room was not particularly clean. The staff in the bar and restaurant were very friendly and provided a good service so it was a shame the room was so disappointing.

we recently stayed at the Golden Fleece Hotel in Thirsk. the hotel was lovely and very dog friendly. the room was clean and quiet, which was good for the dog. the staff were excellent, everyone we met was friendly and helpful and made a fuss of the dog. We had two delicious meals at the hotel and would also recommend the Italian restaurant across the square
