We did not have breakfast on site but it was very comfy and cozy. The key safe was quite hard to open and took me several tries to get to the keys. One suggestion I have is that you have available to renters some type of a bath/shower chair.

    I think the price that I paid for the two nights is very fair when I researched the prices in York for various accommodation providers. Most important of all, when you say that Diamonds Lodge is close to the Hospital that is very true and is extremely helpful to me. I like the fact that, even though the furnishings in Room 5 are simple, the small touches of thoughtfulness eg personal tissues, clean towels, tea and coffee plus a soft easy chair for reading etc. Also most importantly the cleanliness by Shirrin. 5 Stars

    The Cow Kennels is top quality luxury accommodation and this is from someone who is incredibly fussy and stays in 5 star plus hotels. Host communication was brilliant and they provided a shower chair and handles for my parents to keep them safe. The beds huge and very comfortable, bathrooms luxurious and equipment great. The whole place was completely immaculate and woodburner starter kit provided inc logs, kindling and fire lighters. Enclosed garden overlooking a duck pond, parking outside the door - nothing not to like.

    The Manager or chef wasn't there, so all the running of the pub was done by Paul, but he was brilliant as he poured drinks, cleared tables, cooked food, showed people to rooms and dealt with any issues. 5 stars 🌟 for all that alone. The bed was nice and comfy and warm, linen also clean. Good selection of tea and coffee options. A nice view from the window but the A19 is a bit noisy but that can't be helped.
