What I liked:The staff at the front desk were wonderful! Very helpful, kind and efficient. What I did NOT LIKE:It was thirty-nine steps to our room, #15, NO LIFT! My wife and I are both in our mid-sixties and this was VERY rough on us.

Food excellent.

The building was needing a little attention, as a tired looking. Shower could be bigger. We had a evening meal which was fantastic. Breakfast was excellent but a bit costly.

Great Location

We stayed at the Golden Fleece for 4 nights. The location can't be beat. Right at the center of the town, so easy walking distance to all the shops, pubs and James Herriot museum. Our spacious room faced the square and was very quiet. A fresh bottle of water was left each day, which was appreciated. All the staff that we encountered were very friendly and helpful. Parking for the hotel is available. Just be aware that there is no lift.

A very welcoming hotel

A beautiful hotel in a beautiful town. The hotel had trouble with the boiler so it was very cold in the hotel, but the staff arranged an extra blanket for our bed.
