Enjoyable Stay
Quick, enjoyable stay, Very comfortable & excellent service
We had a lovely one night stay and enjoyed our time there. The staff and host were all very welcoming and attentive to our needs. Dinner and breakfast were great and would highly recommend staying and dining. The room was extremely comfortable and warm and had been freshly renovated. We could have easily stayed here longer.
Comfortable stay.
The room was very comfortable with everything we needed. It was clean and well maintained. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast and the food on offer was delicious. It’s a very popular pub so advisable to book a table for dinner. Very convenient for exploring North Yorkshire. We would stay again.
Property was well situated for where we needed to be, staff were very helpful and friendly and the chalets were clean and tidy
Great stopping point on the A1
Third time we have stayed here which ought to say something. Very convenient for the A1 and the rooms are pleasant, clean and comfortable. As well as that the restaurant serve very good food at reasonable prices, as it was our final night of our holiday in Scotland and we were travelling home it was very welcome. Parking is convenient and close - just outside rooms.
Stayed for one night. Room was very confortable. Also ate at the pub for dinner, absolutely fantastic food which was also as good. Lovely area close to Thirsk, overall couldn’t fault it. Would happily go back.
Great place, comfortable room
What a lovely little place to stay for a night or 2. We stayed one night last minute, the room was lovely and the bed really cosy and the breakfast the following morning was great. Will stay again in the future to try the pub for the
Perfect
Spotless and tidy cottage-style room, friendly staff welcoming
This is a lovely place! The room was spacious and clean, the food excellent and cooked to order. I asked to stay an extra night but they were booked up. Not the best location if you’re relying on public transportation.
Great little place! Would have loved to spent time in the pub, but our visit was for a wedding so missed out. Lovely room, staff and breakfast!
So easy to find, large carpark, comfy beds, professional and friendly staff. Great breakfast choice. Good value for money and dogs welcome. Would quite happily stay there again.
My accommodation was amazing. Clean, great decor and all the amenities I would require
Fab stay
Fantastic time. Will be back.
Just great. Lovely pub. Great food. Good service. Polite and friendly and helpful staff.lovely clean bedroom chalets. Comfy beds. Lot's of towels. Super time.
Very good stay
Very warm welcome, lovely rooms, very nice breakfast. Recommended.
I only stayed for one night but the location was perfect and easy to find. The room was clean and had everything I needed. I ate next door and the food was lovely. I would definitely use this hotel again.
Marvellous place.
The hotel was fabulous no complaints
Cant fault this place apart from the full breakfast coming without beans, but this was soon rectified. A vegan breakfast with oat milk was provided no problem.
Old Oak Tree stay
Yet again an excellent stay. Very friendly welcome, comfortable room and really good food. Large attractive patio to enjoy the sunshine
Rooms in a seperate building from pub, spacious and well equipped. Lovely food and large menu to choose from.Welcoming and friendly staff
Pity About The Rain ☔️
Very clean and large room - staff friendly - hot water can be too hot at times
Lovely accommodation complemented by a great pub with great food. Breakfast was lovely and the staff were so happy to help. Family room is great and dog friendly. Thank you so much
We just loved this place! It was extremely clean. Owners were kind and cooked the best meals. Breakfast was to die for. We highly recommend this place. You won’t be disappointed.
All good.
All good. Nice food, comfortable room and good breakfast. Friendly staff too.
Really good location peaceful at night. Very comfortable bed. Well presented room good facilities. Good breakfast which set us up for the day. Would stay again.
Nice clean room, staff very helpful.
Great value for money. The room was lovely. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the pub has a cracking food menu. The pavlova was the best I've ever had. We would definitely stay here again.
Nice, friendly proprietors. Very nice new rooms next to a pleasant old tavern
York races
Took my friends we had 2 rooms for racing trip and they were all astonished at the location and beautiful scenery will be back next year all being well
Convenient, good accomodation, great breafast. However dirty linen made it unacceptable.
Great Pub and food, with rooms are nice and well equiped. The food is great and the breakfast is lovely.
Great Nights Sleep
Was a great place to stay for my 1 night business trip. The room had ample coffee, tea and 2 bottles of water, with a handy sized fridge. The room was very warm and quiet. The pub was literally 10 seconds away across the car park. I had a great nights sleep with the comfy bed and pillows. Will stop again
Would recommend.
Very generous sized room for a great price. We had very satisfying cooked breakfast and two excellent evening meals. Eating in the lively bar was very enjoyable but had no welcoming atmosphere for breakfast. A little music perhaps would be appreciated. Lighting in the room was quite dimm making shaving, contact lens care tricky. Also ceiling light hanging down which looked quite dangerous. However, enjoyed the stay and had a good time
Nice little Pub with separate accommodation to the side. Plenty of parking. Great food!
Its a beautiful property, clean and spacious rooms. The bar area has a lovely homely feel. Outside there's plenty of space to dine and watch the kids run on the grassed area. Thank you for hosting us
Perfect lovely place owners and staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble The room/chalet was large and spotless they thought of every comfort it had a fridge and air-con as well which was welcome they are dog friendly too it’s a perfect place to visit all around I’m now planning my next visit it’s so reasonable in price and if you have a good appetite this is the place the food was excellent
Thursday/Friday night stay
Lovely place to stay. Clean and comfy rooms with lots of added extras including a fridge. Breakfast was great with a good choice and the staff are very friendly. Would definitely stay here again
As always a pleasure to stay here. Very clean, Friendly owners & staff. Food amazing with lots of choice for all on the menu and great sized portions
Lovely place
Lovely place, great food, great room , stayed here a few times and always spot on

1 night stopover. Very friendly staff, good food, very good service, lovely room. Would definitely stay there again.
Honeymoon break
We decided to stay in Yorkshire for our honeymoon, we loved looking around all the different sights and viewing the sights of The Yorkshire vet, the old oak tree was a very nice place to stay and convenient for everything we wanted, the service and food was exceptional would always recommend this place and we are are already considering another stay here.
Excellent. Staff very friendly and efficient. There was a good range of dishes on the menu and the food was well prepared.
Fab find near Thirsk.
Loved our stay. Big comfortable rooms with air conditioning. Fridge /tea making facilities in room. Rooms just across from pub which was great. Double bed, single bed and put up bed for us, all comfy. Sofa in room. Breakfast included, delicious. Service excellent. Also booked in for evening meal, so glad we did. Food and service excellent and good price. We would return and stay here again if we were visiting Thirsk.
Couldn't fault anything at all. Very warm welcome, room was great and the food was fantastic.
Enjoyed our stay here very much. Food excellent, room very clean and tidy. Staff very helpful and friendly. Would definately stay here again
The owners and staff were so welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The bar, restaurant and outdoor areas were so lovely and in such a lovely village with easy access to many places of interest. It is the first time we have stayed away from home with the Coronavirus pandemic but the new cleaning measures and procedures put our minds at rest to make our stay both relaxing and enjoyable. The food was delicious and well priced and the range of bar drinks was vast. Thank you so much ☺️
friendly & comfortable
Friendly, comfortable, well appointed.Had everything we wanted. Very comfortable bed, spacious room with a sofa to sit on as well as the bed. Good breakfast. Only negatives which are very minor, are the rooms are separate, just across the car park from the pub so if the weather is bad its a quick dash across for breakfast - but on the plus side that means the rooms are quiet.
Worth all the 5 star reviews Nice big room very clean with high quality furniture and fitments. Had everything and more Extremely friendly and helpful owners Easy car parking outside the room Had food in the restraint that was excellent value for money and of a high quality Overall so good we are going back!!
Hidden Gem - Thirsk Races
I booked two nights in this hotel as a part of a birthday treat tour around North Yorkshire. I planned it to coincide with the final day at Thirsk Races. On arriving at the hotel I was a bit worried that we were a little far out from the racecourse, however it only cost £4.00 to Thirsk Centre (snicket through to race course) or £5.50 direct to racecourse. Service was with a smile from Nick and his lovely family (who own and run the pub); Our room was fantastic, everything you could wish for and more!! We had an evening meal in the pub on the Sunday - Brilliant atmosphere, good prices and gorgeous food; Breakfast was the best cooked breakfast I have ever had with plenty of options to choose from. We will definitely be back.
Our family get together weekend at The Old Oak Tree was supreme! Absolutely faultless from arriving, check-in, accommodation, welcome, rear patio/beer garden, drinks service, dinner food and service. Breakfast was fantastic, the whole team was attentive, polite and helpful from beginning to end - a totally positive experience. The Old Oak Tree is fabulous in all departments!!
This is a really is a lovely place to stay, the accommodation is cosy, clean and comfortable. The wooden acorn the room key is attached to is massive. We visited for Thirsk races. Taxis are very rare and and difficult to arrange so plan ahead. There are no Uber drivers in the area.
What a little gem this place is, lovely spacious comfortable room. Fabulous food and warm friendly staff. Can't fault anything just amazed it's only got 3 stars!!!
Nice well furnished big room. Great food and friendly staff.
Accomidation was satisfactory however cobwebs on the ceilings, mattress uncomfortable and pillows paper thin. Evening meal was ruined as first order wrong waited for new one but did not replace potatoes so half of my meal stone cold. Finally to top it off checked out and made to feel extremely embarrassed suggesting we had not paid....after other guests had left the scene apologies given ' sorry you prepaid'. However i will add there was one particular female member of staff who went out of her way with my children she was fantastic.
stayed for one night staff very friendly, room 1 very nice, good meal and breakfast overall very enjoyable stay
The stay has been excellent, friendly and efficient staff. Food was beautiful, our accommodation was perfect. And the area of yorkshire around
Comfy and welcoming
Very welcoming, very roomy and very smart. Landlady let us stroke the dogs and feed the lambs, it was lovely!
Would recommend without a doubt - accommodation was spotless, staff were very pleasant and would especially mention Joe who is a great asset to them . Had dinner 2 nights and food was very good, would certainly come back
One night stay
Very friendly staff, lovely room - clean comfortable and spacious, and good food. Would happily stay again.
First rate
Been last year and thankfully the same. Great location, rooms, service and food. Very friendly including dogs will defiantly go again. Landlord and his wife and kids as well as the staff are a credit to this establishment. Locals friendly tii
Highly recommend the Oak Tree.
Our stay at the hotel was extremely comfortable. The room was clean and included all essentials to make the stay enjoyable.The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was cooked and presented very well. Excellent value.
Hotel in Thirsk
As food was served in the bar at the time of our visit, I liked how visitors and local residents easily mingled while dining - good food, atmosphere, helpful bar and dining room staff. It was also lovely to sit outside, have coffee/other while watching the sheep in their enclosure. Plenty of parking spaces. Accommodation had its own entrance door into the car park which was great to let our ageing dog out during the night. The room was spotless and roomy. Thank you to all staff who made our stay really enjoyable.
Old oak tree deserves yellow ribbon.
Stayed for two nights at old oak tree whilst visiting relatives nearby. Check in made easy by welcoming host. Room large and comfortable. Facilities all that required and more. Ate in restaurant for one night. Menu extensive and food delicious. Obviously popular with local residents by the amount of people eating there.
Family run pub and B&B
Clean and comfortable B&B a couple of miles from Thirsk. Food at the pub was excellent and most of the staff were friendly and proficient. There was some noise from the road from tractors which were busy with the harvest. Would recommend.
Lovely accommodation - fantastic evening meal
Dirty toilet and open roof window which we couldn't close. Noisy therefore. Apart from that brilliant pub and staff. Shall return
Excellent. Would definitely recommend
Lovely room and staff very friendly and helpful. And dog friendly..what more do you need! The breakfast was wonderful, with plenty of choice. Vegetarian friendly..
refreshing weekend break
The Old Oak Tree is a lovely pub with the hotel accommodation adjacent to it- 5 motel type rooms. This was ideal because it was nice and private away from the pub itself. The rooms were spacious, modern and clean with everything you need. Thirsk itself is 20 minutes walk away, a beautiful area. We had 2 breakfasts, 1 lunch and an evening meal at the hotel, all very tasty, served by helpful, friendly staff. We would definitely go again.
weekend break
Very comfortable and clean room. Breakfast excellent food and evening meal really good quality food. Highly recommended for a break in the area.
Lovely hotel near to Thirsk
Myself and my girlfriend decided to stop here Saturday 10th Feb. Arrived and were shown to the room which was outside was amazing. Had tea at the hotel which was very nice. Went into Thirsk for a few drinks and then came back. Went to bed woke up Sunday morning and went for a proper Yorkshire breakfast which was amazing.
Excellent find
EXCELLENT ROOM large with large bed and a sofa breakfast was excellent many thanks.
Thirsk - Herriot Centre
A lovely visit to this great Yorkshire town complete with visit to the Herriot Centre
A gem
Great stay at the Oak tree again, good food, good beer, great service what more do you need.
A lovely place to stay
A beautiful room at this quiet location. The choice of food was fantastic and the meals that we ate there were delicious
Perfect Place to Stay!!!
My wife and I stayed here from May 25-May 27, 2017 . This was our 1st stop on a 2 week long trip through England, Scotland and the Netherlands and if we were to do it again, we would stay here again without a doubt! The restaurant served FANTASTIC food (breakfast and supper - we were not around for any lunch times), the staff and owners were all friendly and helpful and went out of their way to provide us with all we needed and more. We forgot our coats here and the owners went out of their way to return them to us via mail to London before we left for back home to Alberta, Canada. The room was perfect. It was spacious and clean, the bathroom was nice, the shower worked amazing!! It was unseasonably hot at the time we stayed there but our room never got stifling hot. The location was exactly what we had hoped for as well. The Inn is in South Kilvington, and it is quiet and peaceful here, yet close enough to Thirsk to not be in the middle of no where. All in all, my wife and I loved this place!!
Great stay
Brilliant stay my grandson loved it,food and staff excellent. Will be back next year.
Good food, very friendly and hospitable staff and owners
nice hotel to arrive at after a long day's drive
room was very comfortable light and airy food at restaurant was excellent as was breakfast. nothing was too much trouble for the staff, choices were excellent
Don't expect a friendly welcome
We waited outside for 90 minutes for someone to let us into our room. . There was no bell either front or back. The check in is as supposed to be from 2pm. We arrived 3.15. The guy who let us could not understand why we were upset. Having said that he room was spacious and clean.
if you want a great place to stay ,eat and welcome
the old oak tree is a great place to stay ,a truly dog friendly pub with excellent host whos ethic is endured by all that are associated with the place. Nothing is too much trouble, the food is choice full and plenty full catering for all tastes ,the breakfasts outstanding matching the private door large rooms ,large grounds and busy restaurant so make sure you book a table .we stayed with friends and took our dogs with us .The owner and staff are a credit to the Old Oak Tree stay again ?you bet
Lovely Weekend Break
Ideal for a weekend away from the daily grind we chose this hotel because of it being in close proximity to Thirsk, if I am honest we did think it was a bit nearer to the town, it being pet friendly and having ground floor rooms. We were not disappointed, the five rooms available are separate to the hotel so there was no noise from other guests. The room itself was spacious and nicely decorated and furnished with lovely "mouse man" furniture, as is the main pub and restaurant. Our particular room was spacious enough to accommodate my mobility scooter and would be ideal for a wheelchair user, although there are no extra grab rails in the bathroom so might not suit everybody. We ate in the restaurant on Saturday night and were thankful we had pre-booked a table following a phone call from the landlady, before our visit because the restaurant soon became packed, as it is obviously popular with local people. The service was very good and so was the food with a good range of dishes. Breakfast was very good too with a good choices. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will return in the future.
Super stay.
Overall a fantastic stay! Room was up to high standard, shower amazing! Kids loved the huge television! Staff were friendly. Food was amazing. Will definitely be back :)
Modern, clean and good service
Have stayed here twice now and this is the best accommodation in the thirsk area. Will always look to book here first when in the future
Amazing
Great place to stay
Great for visiting York
Used this for a base for a couple of days visiting York. A little out of town but an easy drive and we wanted the peace and quiet. Room was great, as were the staff. Breakfast really set you up for the day, probably one of our best during 6 weeks of travelling.
A Truly Great Little Yorkshire Hotel
A truly great little hotel which doubles up as a Bar/Restaurant. Plenty of on site parking. Although situated next to A61 main road, this did not interfere with our enjoyment of the place. The Restaurant was first class offering excellent food in a really friendly rural type atmosphere. The serving staff were exceptionally good. A brilliant breakfast with plenty of choice. Thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone. Easy access to Thirsk if you wanting an alternative night out.
A great place to stay on a journey accepts pets.
This was a great place to stay for a night while travelling south. The access from the main road is very easy and the access to the room could not be simpler. They accept well behaved pets and the service was friendly.
Lovely pub and comfortable rooms 😊
We stayed one night with out 3 children in a family room. It was very clean and comfortable and good value at £130 inc. breakfast. The pub served lovely food for our dinner. I had the steak and ale pie which was very good. My husband had duck which also was lovely. The owners were very welcoming and the staff were polite and extremely efficient. I would definitely recommend staying at this pub.
First class stay
It was a great place to stay, good accommodation, friendly staff and lovely meals. In the right place for touring the Moors, Dales, up to the east side to Northumberland
Couldn't recommend enough!
Great place to stay if visiting Thirsk races.
Covenient for short stay to meet friends.
Friendly staff. Good facilities . Quiet. Parking.
Lovely place to stay
We were doing a driving tour of England/Scotland and needed a place to stay in the Yorkshire area and the Old Oak Tree was a lovely place to stay. The restaurant was very nice and we got chatting with the owner in the morning about the amazing furnishings in the room/restaurant/pub. Look for the carvings in the hand made tables and chairs while you are there! I got the artisans name and am hoping to can have him ship to the US!
Very pleasant overnight stay. The proprietors went out of their way to return property to us that we left behind.
Great value for money
The check in was easy, the room was brilliant, excellent standard of accommodation, knocks the spots of other chains I've stayed in. The food in the pub was pretty good to, with a massive menu to choose from. If i'm the area, would definitely stay here again.
Great one night stay
My wife and I stayed one night after visiting nearby museums in Ripon and before visiting a Summer fair at Ripley Castle. The accommodation was first class with quality bed, furnishings (especially liked the tables with "mice" on the legs. Breakfast was excellent too. Quiet. All in all, top place to stay. Would recommend.
Three night stay
Very comfortable stay with great breakfast and really helpful staff
1st time used hotel.com
Great price great food
Great value for money
Very comfortable and spacious courtyard-style room adjacent to the Inn. Lovely sunny patio area at the rear of the Inn, perfect for a relaxing drink after work. 20 mins walk (or 4 minute drive) to Thirsk with its array of coffee shops, bars, restaurants and so on but if you just want to stay at the Oak Tree there is an extensive menu. Full Yorkshire breakfast cooked to order and was lovely. Owners and Staff were friendly and engaging.
Perfectly suited to purpose of B&B
This was a perfect B&B choice for us as the room provided ample space/beds for our family of four and was a good location for visiting friends in nearby Thirsk. Breakfast in the morning was tasty and efficiently served. We would definitely stay again on a similar visit.

A fantastic venue
I found the Old Oak Tree team to be very welcoming. The room size was fantastic as was the breakfast. The pub does evening meals and has a great choice of dishes to suit all palates. Whilst booking a table is definitely recommended as the venue is very popular both locally and further afield for their dishes. I can highly recommend the Old Oak Tree, I will certainly be staying there again. The Old Oak Tree is in the perfect location for exploring North Yorkshire.
