    good food
    comfortable room
    delicious dessert
    poor wi-fi

    My recent stay was fantastic! The food was amazing, especially the turkey roast and delicious desserts like the salted caramel chocolate cake. The room setup was perfect for my family, with comfortable beds and great amenities. It made for a lovely getaway, and I would definitely choose this place again!

    great staff but safety concerns

    The dedication of the staff was exceptional. They were kind, helpful, and genuinely accommodating with all of our needs.

    The property needs immediate updates to ensure guest safety.

    spacious bathroom
    clean room
    breakfast service
    limited dining options

    The family room provided ample storage and was quite clean, with a spacious bathroom that included a bath, which was a nice touch. The outdoor playground and the indoor soft play were fantastic for my 2-year-old, making it a practical choice for families.

    spacious family room
    clean setup
    friendly staff
    slow breakfast service
    needs refurb

    The family room was spacious, and the kids loved the outdoor playground. It was clean and had a comfy setup. We did have slow breakfast service, though. it’s pretty functional for a one-night stay with kids. A bit of a refurb wouldn’t hurt, but the staff were friendly and tried their best to help out.

    gluten-free options
    clean family room
    spacious
    overcooked breakfast
    limited options

    The gluten-free options were a delightful surprise, perfectly crafted for a culinary explorer! Plus, the clean family room felt spacious enough for a mini adventure.

    The breakfast was a bit of a letdown—overcooked eggs and limited choices. Plus, it felt like the hotel was randomly plopped in a warehouse complex!

    Request a family room with the outdoor playground access for the kids' entertainment while you relax nearby.

    friendly staff
    comfortable meal
    kid-friendly atmosphere
    worn down facilities

    Great vibe, but needs some TLC

    We stayed for a night with the kids and overall, the staff were super friendly and helpful. Had a nice meal in the restaurant too! But the whole place felt a bit worn down, like it had seen better days. Plus, the chairs in the play area? Yikes, one almost collapsed under me, which wasn’t fun at all.

    spacious family room
    great food choices

    I stayed at the wishing well for one night. the location was perfect before my wedding, and the family room was spacious for us. the adjoining pub was nice for a meal, and the food was cooked perfectly. the staff improved a lot since my last visit. plus, the menu had great choices that were hot and tasty.

    spacious family room
    outdoor playground
    indoor soft play
    dated decor

    The family room featured spacious layouts, perfect for accommodating our crew with ample space for play and relaxation. The outdoor playground offered a nice distraction for the kids, while the indoor soft play area kept the little ones entertained even when the weather didn't cooperate.

    Found a few beetles crawling around the room, which certainly wasn't welcoming. The overall atmosphere felt a bit dated, with worn carpets and some humidity in the air—definitely not the fresh vibe I'd hope for in a stay. The bar closed earlier than expected, leaving us with no choice for a nightcap and limiting our relaxation options after a long day. Breakfast had limited hot options and the toast setup was painfully ineffective—bread often ended up on the floor instead of toasted. Definitely room for improvement here.

    reasonable price
    basic dining

    Just a good pick for a fleeting stay in Selby with reasonable price. The chips from the kitchen were oven-baked but edible. Be ready for slow service during busy times.
