I had two cookies and a tea. Reasonable price for the location. The cookies were nice, but quite hard. I had to wait around before being addressed by a waiter. Great atmosphere, very nice place! I really enjoyed working from there!

We stayed over the valentine's weekend with friends. Fantastic rooms, beautiful hotel, great facilities, dog friendly and great service from the team. We got to meet the Hotel Director who recommended places to visit and eat at while in York which were spot on. We will be back, thank you.

We had a lovely afternoon here today. The food was delicious and beautiful. There were a small selection of Twinings tea on offer. The staff were friendly and welcoming, but towards the end of our afternoon, there were probably a change in shifts and it seemed only one waitress was rota’d in. So it took some time to get the bill. She was very nice anyway. We used to come many times to afternoon tea before lockdown and the tea menu was more varied with tea leaves used instead of tea bags. The menu has slightly reduced too. But it was lovely however and it tasted fresh! The scones came straight out of the oven!!

This was my first experience with afternoon tea. What a treat! The food was wonderful and the service was good for the most part. We did have a hard time getting help beyond food service but I would return in a heart beat. It was such a lovely afternoon!
