The Sidings Hotel

Wow! This place is amazing, especially for railway enthusiasts. We were greeted with a warm welcome on arrival and made to feel right at home! The service was simply outstanding!The rooms are novel and the concept of converting old coaches into rooms is great. There’s loads of railway memorabilia around too which adds to the theme. There is also a nice balcony which looks out on the railway line!The food was nice too! Drinks were fairly priced!All in all a great place - sadly not the easiest place to reach if you don’t have a car, but honestly if you get the chance to visit, then I’d say take it! It’s a unique and fun experience

Absolutely delightful. The staff was lovely. The food was delicious. The atmosphere was wonderfully intimate for a dinner for two with my partner. Highly recommend!

Definitely one for rail enthusiasts. Right at the side of the East Coast main line, trains passing ever few minutes. The rail carriages are very atmospheric and the dining car is lovely. The food is very very nice and well priced. The owner is very friendly as are all the staff. Thanks for a great stay.

My wife and I accidentally came across the Sidings when staying in York for our anniversary recently.We loved every second from the warm welcome with an open fire in the main foyer to sitting at a lovely classic table in a booth within a lovely vintage carriage.We were not sure what to expect as it was our first time but we know now it won’t be our last.The service was impeccable and having a chat and a giggle with the staff made our evening so much more then we thought it would be.Once we tucked into our food the conversation went quiet…both of us were so into our food we just forgot to talk. Then came the conversation again. Neither of us could fault anything. It was lovely. I had the rib eye while my wife had the roast pork.Wow maybe a short word but it actually is what we both said.With trains going be and both of us sitting snug at a lovely white linen covered table we just felt spoiled to be there.Thank you for an amazing time and experience. We will be back as we both want to stay there.

Called into the restaurant for evening meal. Restaurant is a old railway carriage alongside rail tracks. We had the Xmas menu which was plentiful and delicious. Can get very busy make sure you book

Had wedding reception. Food was nice. Great location as the kids loved the passing trains. Service and staff very good. Very attentive cheerful and upbeat.

Met up with my family who could only meet us at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. I needed something to eat so this wonderful restaurant was one of the only places open on a Sunday late afternoon. We have been many times before it is one of our favourite restaurants, if not our favourite John and the staff Are so friendly and polite. The atmosphere is gorgeous. It was lovely and warm. The smell of the fire in the conservatory was so nice and cosy but sitting in the carriage was amazing. The best bit of course is the food my goodness we have probably been there 10 times but yesterday was definitely by far the best food we have all ever had there. Amazing can’t recommend this place high enough

I recently visited with friends for a surprise birthday stay over. We had a lovely time. The evening meal was lovely and the service was fantastic. Really made us feel special. We stayed in 4 of the rooms. All were lovely apart from mine. Don't get me wrong it was lovely but it did smell and I realised that this was due to the carpet being wet. Probably needs hard flooring to prevent this problem as this did let it down.

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with our stay in room 7. The photographs on the website of this room are not a true representation of the room and therefore misleading. The bed is completely different and there was no chair.Our main concern was the fact that the room smelt very musty and the bed linen and towels felt damp. We guess this was due to lack of insulation, no heating and the humidity.There was quite a large amount of dust on top of the headboard, a large cobweb from the bottom of the TV running to the side of the wardrobe as well as a used t-shirt left in the top of the wardrobe. (This had been mentioned in Lesley's review dated 10th September!)We definitely felt the room needed some TLC.On the plus side the shower was good. We were greeted with a warm welcome and the cooked breakfast was great.We did pass our comments onto the management.Date of stay: September 2023
