Please accept a suggestion for your website that you don't advertise dogs go free to entice people to book if they are going to be given a room in the car park! We didn't use our stay and left the same day. We were so disappointed using your company for the first time! And treating ourselves to a weekend away to get through mothers day having recently lost my mum. The Golden Fleece at Thirsk left something to be desired? We arrived around 1pm and were told that we couldn't check in until 3pm we didn't mind and said we would have some lunch only to be told that the chef had closed the kitchen because they were very busy and very unhelpfully we were told they were the only place that accepted dogs inside! We ate a sandwich in the market square until it started to rain and decided go for a car ride. We arrived back at 4:30 to be given a room off the car park which was cold, small, miserable and dirty. The windows in both the bathroom and bedroom had been left open probably because it smelled like someone had been smoking in it. We close the window in the bedroom, and looked to warm the room up, the radiator was obviously broken as there was a fan heater and mobile oil radiator in the room.! I believe that the decor was attempting to be shabby chic but it was just shabby! The bathroom and toilet were dirty. We have always said that our measure of standards is never to accept less than we have at home and the same goes for our dog. So we cancelled the meals we had booked and waited to see the receptionist who was doubling as a waitress and handed our keys back and said we were leaving. She did ask why? And stated she was sorry and would raise the issue with housekeeping!! Pets PJ'S, I would suggest you check out your hotels properly and charge for dogs instead of offering dogs go free and that way customers get what they expect and what they see in the photographs on the website. Going home for a clean warm house, bed and bathroom for us and our dog was worth having to lose £280.00. We won't be recommending or using it again! We have booked direct with hotels that take dog/s and have never felt like we were 2nd clas, however we've always paid for our dog, which we would happily do to ensure some standards and feel as relevant as customers without a dog. Very very disappointing.!
