Firstly this Hotel is quite underrated in my opinion. From the arrival the staff was amazing and to let us park at the rear even though the car park was crammed. The hotel grounds and interior are very clean and warm. Couldnt ask for a better venue to stay last minute on NYE. Would 100% recommend to Try or Return
Thank you
Thank you

One of the best family run hotels. Came here after 11 years when I stayed on a school trip. This visit was with me and my mum. Good food, good drinks and perfect location. All the staff were very friendly especially maz on the bar. Hoping to comeback next year!

I'm so surprised the Wheatlands Lodge is only a two-star hotel as I found my stay there very comfortable. I was greeted by friendly staff and with the Christmas tree in the lobby and the log fire I felt I'd stepped into a Victorian Christmas. My room was spacious and clean and the breakfast delicious. I didn't catch everyone's name, but I'd like to thank Fiona and her staff for all their hard work and especially Toby and the girls in the restaurant who couldn't do enough to make breakfast a lovely start to the day.

My partner and I spent three days in York staying at Wheatland Lodge Hotel. We had an excellent stay and cannot speak highly enough of the hotel and the service provided by the staff. The hotel had excellent accommodation and was beautifully and proudly kept. We were on a bed and breakfast basis and the breakfast choice was very good and matching and surpassing ratings received for higher graded hotel accommodation. This enhanced our stay in the lovely city of York and we look forward to returning in the future. Wheatlands Lodge thank you so much.
