OO58RON's Qype profile

Formerly the site of a monastery, Nostell Priory is an 18th-century treasure house situated just 5 miles from the centre of Wakefield.

It's an oasis of calm, with exquisite interiors by James Paine and Robert Adam, furniture by Chippendale, a collection of paintings and a very special library. Inside the house,  there is one of only three ever made John Harrison (longitude) longcase clock and a unique 18th-century dolls' house which is simply amazing, not only by its grandeur but the fact that it remains intact after all of this time of being played with. 

I visited this restaurant with my wife this evening as a social evening out.  We found the service to be very good as was the general ambience of the place.  The food was very flavoursome and well presented.

I found that the portions was way too small and was ready to eat a further main course after finishing my starter and first main course.  I also found the bar price too be far too high £4.50/5.00 for a 330ml bottle of beer.  £6.75 for a glass of wine.  

This is not a place for a social evening with your partner more of a place to impress a would be lover that you can afford to eat and drink there. (Humour) but you get the point. 

I used this company for the first time recently.  I had always used a different company from York previously, but was beginning to get concerns over the quality of their work.
I took my wife's car in first to seek advice and was told the tyres were still Okay and to continue to use them until closer to the winter weather setting in and then to have two new front tyres fitted.  I did just that and was very happy with the price and the service.  
I then at the same time asked for a price of four winter tyres for my own car and the price quoted was in line with what I had seen during my research.  These tyres are fairly uncommon due to the size and reasonably costly.  Despite this, without any knowledge of me whatsoever they ordered these tyres and i said that I would return for them fitted the day following there expected delivery date.  I was a little surprised that they didn't want a deposit or contact details.  So without any fuss or formalities my tyres were ordered, delivered and fitted as arranged.  A great service!
My only, very minor gripe is that a dust cover is missing off of one wheel.  I know that I could go back however as they only cost about a £1 each I will simply order another set off of Ebay and have three spares.
I will definitely be returning to this tyre centre for all my future needs 

This B & B is ideally located for both a walk into the town itself or to the mainline railway station.  Approx 20mins into St Pancras.
The accommodation is well appointed and very clean.  It has all that you would expect or need from a B & B.
Off street parking is available.  Breakfast consists of Cereals, toast. fruit etc. etc.  and the Full English is available if pre ordered.
The hostess is nice, helpful and friendly.
I have no hesitation in recommending this establishment to all that appreciate good quality.  

I stayed overnight at this wonderful establishment.  I was there for a function that was being held in the bar.  We had booked a finger buffet for the occasion.
It has to be said the choice of venue could not have been better.  It is a welcoming and friendly family affair.  Indeed the current owner actually built the accommodation and associated buildings himself.  My room was spacious and well appointed it was clean and functional.  TV, tea making paraphernalia including biscuits as well as complimentary shower gel etc.
The bed was divine and a great nights kip was had.  I was even given a early morning knock as I had forgotten my alarm clock.  You would have to be the type of person that wants to be disappointed to find any faults with the room or its facilities.
They also have a room with a bar and a large screen TV.  
Breakfast, well.......all that I can assume is that Mr Mears must be a former lorry driver (said in the nicest way) as it was plentiful and delicious.  Cereals, FULL English, with all the usual suspects bacon, sausage. hash browns, tomatoes etc etc. toast and jams the lot.  Fruit juice, tea or coffee and it appeared to me as though you could drink as much as you wanted and eat toast till it came out of your ears.

All in all the B & B is the tops.  I have to say at £50 for a double room, this is fantastic value and the host and hostess are really very nice a nothing too much trouble.  We kept Mrs Mears up until 0140hrs!! and it was not a problem.

This is a business to be avoided.  They do not care about customer service.
