Feversham Arms Hotel & Verbena Spa♡

Guest review

Room had bedside light and bathroom extractor that didn’t work. We complained and were moved to a better room for the second night of our stay. We had dinner on the first night the menu was limited, expensive and ostentatious. My wife couldn’t find a starter that she wanted to eat, never seen a menu that didn’t offer a soup or a plain starter. Main course was beef cheek for me the meat was tender with a pleasant glossy sauce, it was served with a tiny carrot half a shallot and a spoonful of mashed potato. Still hungry I ordered cheese cake which was tiny with a strange tasting sorbet. Breakfast was included and was excellent.

Fantastic place

Fantastic property located right in the town, great staff and service, stunning room with pool view, heated pool and super sized jacuzzi a real bonus, will definitely go back!

Nice room, but underwhelmed, won’t revisit.

We had a very friendly warm welcome - great start. Our suite was roomy and hence an initial wow factor. View onto pool area was really pleasant. Comfy bed & quiet. But per the notes below, we were on the whole ‘underwhelmed’. Hotel has ‘good bones’ but would benefit from a refresh. 1/ Slippers were missing - no big deal - but we’d put on swimwear and husband got dressed to go to reception to get some for use around pool. 2/ Bathroom was roomy, and although clean, the tiles had lots of stains (we think from bleach - made the bathroom ‘look’ dirty and unappealing). Modern smart fittings, but bath fascia was made from tatty old painted wood & looks out of place. No surface for toiletries. Shower seemed to have a glitch - difficult to control temperature (too hot). We overheard some others complaining. 3/ It seemed like the ‘B’ team were on at breakfast on bank hol Monday. I quietly gave polite feedback about poor service and poor food quality (beans cold and watery, egg obviously not fully cooked, toast was served as warm bread). Another lady caused a bit of a scene complaining. 4/ In underground car park, ‘drips’ from old overhead pipes, caused 6 x patches of limescale on our car. My husband couldn’t remove them with a cloth or by scraping with his credit card. I asked staff for some window cleaner. Lady was obliging and apologetic. She brought a lemon from the kitchen & came to assist us (had this issue before). This solved problem - phew! Could do better.

Spa and pool lovely at hotel but rooms very dated We paid more than the room was worth. Mattress so hard and pillows too didn’t sleep well, also room had a toilet in one room without a sink and separate shower with sink. Cost 285.00 two days before stay was booked and on day of stay was only 168.00 , disappointed this time, have been before and was better 2 years ago but rooms still dated, I did mention to reception and the lady just said sorry about that.

A jewel of a find

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Feversham Arms. This is one of the most welcoming hotels. Staff are friendly and always great you with a smile and meet your needs on every request. The spa is wonderful, we used the facilities each day of our stay. The hotel is perfectly situated in Helmsley. It is opposite the Cleveland way, we walked to Rievaulx Abbey and back with was a lovely walk. Our Anniversary dinner was excellent, the flavours popped in your mouth and the whole culinary experience was unforgettable. A little jewel of a find, one we would certainly revisit.
