Didn’t stay here but stopped  for coffee and cake,  (yummy) ,before visiting The Abbey.  Very cosy and the staff were great.  Left my 99 year old dad in a comfy chair whilst the rest of us explored.  Staff kindly kept an eye on him .   Thank you !

Great find

The property has a great location and decent indoor and outdoor spaces. The small number of staff were friendly enough. However, the food menu is extremely limited and uninteresting,  like a 70’s pub. There were very few people having lunch or a drink on a sunny Saturday in May.  This venue could be so much better.

Missed Opportunity

Enjoyed an afternoon tea at Byland Abbey it really was one of the best we have had. Good sized sandwiches with plenty of filling. Couldn’t eat it all so they boxed it up for us to take home. Really good surroundings and very pleasant staff.

Afternoon tea at Byland Abbey

I booked this stay as a surprise for my partner after i’d booked elsewhere and got double booked. I managed to get the biggest room of the three and it was very impressive, if a touch expensive, but it was a special occasion. 

Couldn’t fault the hosts or the room. Was very clean, plenty of space and the two brothers running the place in the absence of the manager were very friendly and helpful. 

Breakfast nice, lovely open garden space to sit and drink in the sun and exercise the dog.   Awesome views day through to night of the abbey.. 
Thanks again

Pleasant, Dog-friendly Stay

A cracking location opposite Byland Abbey and with what looked like refurbished bedrooms this place should be humming like so many of its competitors. Instead the service and food were terrible. A good chef and staff could turn this place around . Instead its doomed to failure

PARADICE LOST

Groupon offer- exceptional value for money and superb service. Idyllic setting opposite an enchanting Abbey in beautiful rural North Yorkshire near the market town of Helmsley-highly recommended!.  Do not hesitate to contact.

Exceptional

Have been here many times and the setting is perfect, Unfortunately it has changed hands recently and whilst the staff were welcoming the menu is limited and the evening food is poor, £32 for 2 overcooked pie & chips with instant gravy. Probably great for a coffee but that's about it.
I hope the new tenant can get a good chef  in and return it to the quality it was a few months ago.

Disappointing 

We drove out specifically to visit Byland Abbey Inn. We had been over a year ago before and the food was lovely, however, today was a HUGE disappointment (from reading other reviews it’s had a change in owners/chef). There were few options on the menu (I usually take this as a good sign that what they do cook will be tasty & fresh).  We both ordered burgers for a treat- the main option was that or Lasagne (apart from panini’s & jacket potatoes). We waited around 50 minutes before it arrived. Luckily we weren’t in a rush. We assumed that this may be due to the fact they were cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Boy! Were we wrong! The burgers tasted liked birds eye oven ‘fresh’ and the chips were equally as disappointing. We think maybe they ran out of burgers and so went to a local shop or raided the land lady’s freezer! Honestly, something you would accept at whether spoons for £5 including a pint. At £32 for two burger- OUCH. On the plus side, the coffee ( we bought take out coffee before our walk) and beers were surprisingly good 👍 The garden was we maintained and the seating area outside was lovely.  Overall, will we return? Maybe for a quick pint on our walk around 🤔 but definitely not for food. Day light robbery… it’s a possibility for certain!

Fur coat and no knickers

This place used to be an absolute gem when run by English Heritage. The cafe provided a wide range of good, varied food and cakes. The weather has been great and it is predicted to last another week therefore any savvy business would have planned for this. The lunch menu was poor; sandwiches for £7.00 and jacket potatoes for £9.00, scones, soup for £7.00 and lasagna. I had a sandwich which was pathetic for the price; there was no spread on the bread and it came with a few lettuce leaves - that was it - slapped on a plate!. I've had a better and more imaginative sandwich from Tesco..Service is slow and there was a huge queue and a long wait to pay /order. This place is beautifully situated, the building is lovely and the staff are really friendly however, this is let down by a poor menu and very basic food which is wildly overpriced. My advice is to stop in Helmsley and buy some lovely food from one of their specialist shops and take a picnic and eat it in the Abbey.

Very Dissapoiting

Have just had the pleasure of enjoying an afternoon tea at this lovely pub and tearoom next door to the Abbey. 
The balance of savory and sweet items was spot on.
Freshly prepared sandwiches and homemade scones were delicious. 
We weren't able to finish it all and the remaining items were carefully wrapped for us to enjoy at home later. 
Well presented and exceptional value. 
Thank you.
